We finally made it to the end of the story, but the adventure isn't over yet. A sequel is in planning stage and we have some fun ideas.
I climbed on the train and dropped my stuff down in an empty compart. In just a few hours I would meet the Malfoys at the station and continue my life from there. Dumbledore had estimated that it would be at least two years before I could return. In that time, my only mission was to come up with a cover story.
I sat down as someone else walked into the compartment. I expected them to leave as soon as they saw who I was, but she stayed.
"Hello, I'm Luna Lovegood." she introduced herself. She looked at me closely as if examining whether I would be safe to sit with.
"You didn't kill her, did you?" she asked, startling me.
"N-no, of course not. How did you know?" I stuttered. Someone actually believed me!
"I can see it in your eyes. Besides, you don't look like a murderer."
"I just wish everyone else thought that as well," I sighed.
"Everyone thinks I'm crazy," Luna told me.
"I don't think you're crazy," I told her. "Maybe you can visit…" I paused. "Never mind."
"Why? What's the matter?" Luna asked innocently. "I'm sure your parents wouldn't mind."
I decided to tell her the truth. She was my only friend now. "I'm actually a Malfoy," I looked away.
"Oh. Well, I'll see you next year, at least."
"I'm sorry Luna," I said sadly. "I'm not coming next year. I don't know when I'll come back. I promise to send you owls whenever I can."
We sat in silence for a while before Luna asked, "What really happened in the Chamber of Secrets, Emma?"
I tried to explain it as well as I could, "When Sami Jo and Harry ran off to kill the snake, Tom Riddle pulled the sword of Gryffindor from the hat and stabbed Ginny. Then I took the sword and hurried over to where Sami Jo and Harry were and cut of its head. I then left and destroyed the diary. However, Harry and Sami Jo thought I stabbed Ginny, and started the rumour."
"I can't believe that your friends didn't take your word on it," Luna said.
"It doesn't really matter now," I shrugged. "There's nothing I can do about it."
Eventually it was time to exit the train. I gathered my stuff, took a deep breath and stepped off the train into my new life. I glanced around, noticing the Malfoys standing proudly at the back of the of the platform. I tried to seem as casual as possible as I made my way over to them. It was crucial nobody saw me leave with them, as it would blow my cover.
We quickly disappeared into the shadows, and left the platform. I sat with Draco as we left the station. I didn't particularly like it, but this was my new life.
