Shattered isadora120 Chapter 7 Thinking of You…

This is the same chapter minus Grammar mistakes and (hopefully) confusion!!!

A/N: hey everybody I am so happy thanks for your amazing reviews! You make me
want to cry… this is the most response I have ever gotten on a story on
fanfiction! It really means a lot to me! On with the story…

o

There were footsteps outside the door, Malfoy lowered his hand… the door
creaked open, we gasped, to reveal….

….Harry and Ginny. Harry pulled something from the folds of his robes and
threw it over us.

"Go," They whispered.

"You have an invisibility cloak…" Started Malfoy but stopped as I
silenced him.

"You can return it later … good luck!" Harry whispered as we left.

We fought our way through the sea of reporters and Malfoy pulled me into an
abandoned alley. He grabbed my hand and apparated us to Malfoy manor. Then he
immediately let go of my hand and I took the cloak and wrapped it up stuffing
it in my bag.

"I thought you told the press," I said angrily.

"I haven't yet Granger … You'll soon learn that I am a busy man and
that I don't have time to spend explaining our situation to the press
today." He said annoyed.

He wouldn't look at me. There was a very long silence.

"What were you going to tell me earlier?" I asked finally.

"About why you're here?" He answered tiredly. I nodded. "Very well
Granger sit down." He continued gesturing to a bench in his beautiful
garden. "As you know I was a former death eater – what you didn't know
was that I never was anything you ever thought I was…. I was under the
imperious curse since day one at Hogwarts. My father got to relive his
Hogwarts days without himself getting a detention. My father got his every
wish … I was a perfect child in his eyes. I had everything but #1grades. I
was a selfish, arrogant, jerk, muggleborn hater, and the Slytherin prince he
wanted me to be. I couldn't over throw it but I fought it for years.
Eventually, on the tower in the end of our sixth year, I ended it just as
Snape killed Dumbledore. I had no choice I would be killed if I changed sides
then and that year I pretended that the curse still worked. That was the worst
year ever. I did so many things I regretted and didn't need to do. When they
brought you and your friends to the manor I thought I should do something good
in my life and wasted the Death Eaters time, hoping I could help you guys
escape. It didn't work but oh well, it felt good. No one ever suspected I
did what I did because someone else was forcing me to do it."

"I was found guilty as a Death Eater but since I couldn't prove I was
under the imperious curse and they couldn't prove I wasn't, I was
sentenced to service work twice a week. Now I am losing my home, fortune, and
Malfoy industries. My father is still alive in Azkaban. That's where you
come in. I need the smartest witch of the age, that isn't a close friend,
that wouldn't defend me with a ten inch pole unless they really believed
that I was innocent. Also you have big connections with the new Ministry of
Magic." he finished glancing at me to see if I had fainted or something.

I just stared at him in shock. Eventually I stopped and started pacing back
and forth. He sat down on the bench I had recently vacated, watching the
mastermind, me, at work.

"Do you have his wand?" I asked.

He nodded and I continued pacing. Maybe if I can find a spell that shows
every spell that the wand has preformed… I thought franticly. I continued
thinking of different solutions but every solution was faded and Draco Malfoy
kept coming to mind.

"Will you finish your last year at Hogwarts?" he asked randomly.

I stopped to stare at him. "I will, but I need to work on your case now."
I said quickly and resumed pacing.

"Could you stop pacing your making me dizzy…?" he moaned.

"That's it!" I exclaimed.

"Dizzy, huh? Good God Granger just tell me."

"The Hogwarts library, in the restricted section there's bound to be a
spell about making the wand reveal every spell it has cast!" I explained
excitedly.

"Great! We're going back to Hogwarts for another amazing year!!" Malfoy
exclaimed.

I blinked. "What?"

He laughed and pulled out two sheets of stationary. "Read the top one
first." He instructed. I took them and read them quickly.

Dear Draco Malfoy,
Since your last year of Hogwarts was incomplete and mainly not taught
properly, we are having everyone redo their year. If you have a job you will
be paid regardless the fact you are at school. If you are married your needs
shall be met.
Yours,
The Ministry Of Magic

I looked up interested and read the next one.

Dear Draco Malfoy,
We are pleased to inform you that you may complete your final year at
Hogwarts I assume the ministry has already owled you with the details. Please
respond within the week so we can prepare for your stay.
Thank you!
Head mistress McGonagall

I looked up from the letters.

"I am a Hogwarts Dropout!" I exclaimed clearly worried.

"Relax Granger we won't be. We'll just return to Hogwarts and research
while we're there."

"Ok." I replied.

Thud.

I slid the compartment door open. Silently, I slid into the empty seat.
Malfoy lowered the paper he was reading and glance at me.

"Ginny?" he asked.

"No I just decided out of the blue to put on makeup, fancy earrings, and
designer clothes – of course it was Ginny!" I said sarcastically. "Plus,
she slept over and threw out all of my regular clothes replacing them with new
ones!" I continued horrified.

He threw back his head and laughed.

I frowned at him. "It's not funny."

"On the bright side your look nice…" he started.

"Are you suggesting I don't dress well without Ginny?" I asked, getting
furious.

"I've never heard of any girl but you Granger, who gets upset because
someone threw out there old clothes and replaced them with new ones!" Draco
said laughing.

I glared.

"Ok- fine- um I am sorry." He offered.

My glare turned into a confused look.

"Look Granger I know this will take some getting used to but I am not a bad
guy!" he protested.

"Ok –ok how did the press meeting go?" I asked.

Before he could answer, several owls started pecking on the window. I walked
over and opened it.

(Draco P.O.V.)

Oh no! I thought as Granger let the owls in. I grabbed my muggle 8 ball. I
didn't like surprises.

"Will she be happy about this?" I whispered. He shook it and quickly read
it.

My sources say yes.

(H. P.O.V.)

The owls swooped down to our seats, I grabbed the daily prophet and scanned
the page.

Dramione Heads to Hogwarts!

I shot Malfoy a glare and grabbed the Quibbler.

Neasles return and Dramione at Hogwarts!

Dramione Returns to Hogwarts!

Every magazine and newspaper was the same from the Daily Inquirer to Witches
Weekly. I smirked at him trying to hide the bubbling anger … but it was no
use. It was like wearing an itchy mask.

"Malfoy!!..."

(Draco P.O.V.)

So much for muggle technology or whatever that was. I thought.

(H. P.O.V.)

"Malfoy!! 'Dramione heads to Hogwarts' and 'our new fav. Couple
Dramione heads to Hogwarts!' How did the Press Meeting go?" I yelled.

"Sweetie!" I added sarcastically!

To be continued!

A/N Ok it's not 7 pages! Don't kill me! I was looking at two chapters not
one! Plus when you write on lose leaf then convert to the computer it is
shorter! Like this was five pages on lose leaf and it's only three here! And
I added stuff to this chapter too! Ok I will try and update soon but I have
been typing all day (lab report due tomorrow) and I need to update!
