''I'll go out for a walk now Hermione.'' I said to her after I had pulled on my winter coat. It's kind of weird that no one else is in our dormitory, it's usually at least four people who share one. But I shouldn't complain. At first she was kind of paranoid around me, but since we share a dormitory we've gotten closer to each other. I think I can call her my ''friend'' now.
I shivered as I leaned against a tree, near the three broomsticks. Where is Draco? He was supposed to be here half an hour ago! I don't have time to wait for him all day, people will get suspicious.
''Delia!'' I heard someone call my name so I turned around.
''Finally! What took you so long?'' We walked in to the three broomsticks and sat down at a table that was as far away as possible from everyone else. We couldn't risk to let anyone hear us.
''Pansy has been following me all day, so I had to be sure that she wasn't following me now.'' Draco sighed with annoyance. ''Do you have the package?
''Do you seriously think I came all the way here in this weather empty-handed?'' I asked him before I pulled out the package from my bag and handed it over to him.
''Are you sure that you know what you're doing?'' I asked him.
''Yes, yes and yes! If someone suspects me, which they won't, I'll just say that I got cursed too. They won't know that it was on purpose.'' he explained and I sighed.
We stood up and walked towards the exit, but when I was about to open the door, I noticed that Draco wasn't behind me. I turned around and saw him glaring at Potter, Weasley and Hermione. It seems like she decided to go out today too. I immediately walked over to Draco and dragged him out of the three broomsticks.
''Are you crazy?! I'm trying to get them to think that I'm not a death eater, but if you're going to glare at them like that when I'm with you, it's not going to work!''
''I'm sorry, I forgot.'' he said.
''Just go, I'll handle with it somehow.'' I said and hugged him. ''Just don't let anyone get suspicious of you Draco. Harry is always suspicious, so be very careful, especially around him.''
''I will, I'm not as irresponsible as you think I am.''
''Yeah yeah, whatever. Just go now, you don't have much time.'' I said and watched him leave before I went back in to the three broomsticks. My eyes flew over to where the trio were, and I caught Potter staring at me.
''Take a picture, it'll last longer Harry.'' I had to say his first name, if I said his surname it would take more time for me to get him to trust me. ''Mind if I join you guys?'' I asked them as I walked over to their table.
''We were actually going to leave now, but you can hang out with us if you want.'' Hermione answered.
''Is that okay for you two?'' I looked at Harry and Ron, they didn't seem so happy about it.
''Fine.'' Harry snapped and walked out of the three broomsticks. I looked at Hermione questioningly.
''He's just not in a very good mood today.'' she explained, but I know she was lying. Well, maybe she wasn't lying completely, maybe he actually is in a bad mood today, but I also know that he still doesn't like me.
We walked out and went after Harry, the three of them walked side by side now, while I walked a bit behind them. If anyone saw us now, they would think that I'm following them, not hanging out with them.
''Hey guys, I think I should-'' I started, but I got interrupted by a scream. We all looked at the one who screamed.
''I warned her! I warned her not to touch it!'' she yelled to us.
What was happening? I pushed myself through the trio to see what had happened, and then suddenly Katie Bell flew up in the air. I frowned. Why did Draco choose her? If he had chosen someone else, the package would have been delivered to Dumbledore by now and Draco would have been done with his task. I sighed and walked towards Katie.
''What do you think you're doing?'' Potter asked me, and I turned around to look at him.
''I'm going to try and help her, which I don't see any of you three doing.'' I said and walked over to the package before trying to help her. If I could get the package back somehow, and then give it back to Draco, he could try again..
''Don't touch it, you'll get cursed! Leave it there and I'll take care of it later.'' Hagrid said while he picked up Katie who now was laying in the snow. ''Follow me.'' he said.
