Chapter 12
FOUR DAYS LATER
Bailey looked up as Gabby sat down next to her.
"What's wrong?"
Gabby looked up. There was pain and sorrow in her eyes.
Bailey immediately pulled Gabby into her arms and let her best friend cry.
Every student that was in the common room stared. They had never seen Gabby cry. They knew it had to be bad.
Bailey watched as Draco and Blaise walked over to them.
Blaise sat down next to Bailey and Draco sat down next to Gabby.
"What's wrong?" Blaise asked.
Gabby sniffled and pulled out of Bailey's embrace.
Wiping her eyes, she looked at the three of them.
"Gabby, what's wrong?" Draco asked.
"My mum. She was killed."
Bailey let out a gasp. Blaise looked away and Draco, pulled her into his embrace and let her cry.
Hermione looked up in shock at what Harry just told her.
"Are you serious?" Ron asked.
"Yea. Remus just told me. He swears up and down that it was a accident. They thought she was somebody else. And it was dark. They didn't realize that it was the Minister's wife until it was too late." Harry explained it to them.
"This cannot be happening." Hermione mumbled.
"Gabriella is going to be furious once she finds out the Order killed her mother. Well there goes getting them on our team." Ron said.
Hermione nodded.
"What are you talking about?" Harry asked, confused.
"While you were gone, my dad flooed and told us that he wanted us to try and get Gabriella and Draco both on our side. Because the two of them together can either weaken the Dark Lord or strengthen him. They found a prophecy about the two of them." Ron stated.
Harry paled. "Yep, I highly doubt that's going to happen now."
Later that night…
Draco walked into his rooms to see Gabby lying on his bed. She was asleep. He could tell she cried herself to sleep.
Running a hand over his face, he sat down next to his desk and took out the letter he received from his father.
Placing it on his desk, he debated on if he should open it. He had a feeling he knew what was in it.
The news of Gabby's mothers death.
He was so lost in thought that he didn't realize Gabby had woken up, until she was standing behind him.
"You gonna come to bed?" she whispered in his ear, as she laid her head on his shoulder.
Draco nodded. "Yea. Just give me a few and I'll join you." he whispered, turning his head some to give her a kiss.
She nodded and laid back down.
Draco walked to his bathroom and showered before joining her in bed. Snuggling up behind her, he closed his eyes. He would read the letter tomorrow before classes.
The Next Morning…
Gabby rolled over in the bed and slowly opened her eyes. She didn't feel like getting out of bed. That meant dealing with all the sympathy from the students, who should now know about her mother's murder.
Sitting up, she looked around.
She noticed that Draco was already gone.
Sighing, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to get ready for class.
15 minutes later, she was dressed and ready to leave.
Passing Draco's desk, she noticed the letter from his father. Knowing what it said, she picked it up and read it anyways. What she read shocked her.
The Order killed her mother.
They killed her.
She felt her anger rising. With that anger, her powers that she has tried to so hard to remain hidden inside her, came alive.
The Order was going to pay for killing her mother.
She was going to make damn sure of it.
