On The Inside

Chapter Fourteen: All of the Stars

I opened the envelope. There was a ring and the note inside. I give Almonder the letter to read aloud.

"My Dearest Phoenix,

It's a true shame that I can not meet you in person. I so wish I could have delivered this letter to you myself, unfortunately my darling son is in my need right now. He would have wrote this to you, but you know how much it would pain him. I sense this whole situation is paining you terribly.

Things will work out for the two of you. Lucius, my husband, is currently being rescued from Azkaban as we speak. What good will he do to help the situation, I'm not sure. I know he may be of some help, but The Dark Lord is very furious with Draco. I'm surprised he didn't kill you.

None the less, I'm sure I will be able to sneak out a letter to you from my son by my owl. I don't know how soon that will be, but it will happen. I don't know if you will be able to write back, but anything beats nothing at this point.

Draco is hurting. I know he loves you. I've never seen him care for someone so much. He'd give up anything to protect you, and that is saying something, coming from my boy.

They are coming back. I'm afraid I'll have to cut this short. I fully expect you to be on the train heading back to Hogwarts this fall. I'll explain more then. Just promise to wear the ring attached to this letter and NEVER take it off for ANY reason.

Sincerely,

Narcissa Malfoy"

"She gave you a ring?" Almonder asks with an engaged curiosity.

"Yeah, "I say, examining the ring. It was a large, deep green emerald on a gold band and setting. It looked older, as if the ring had been in the family for generations, but at the same time, thanks to magic I presume, the gem and gold looked brand new, almost like it was straight from the box.

I slip the ring onto my finger, automatically being a perfect fit.

"It's gorgeous, "Almonder says.

"It is, "I say, "but why did she give it to me?"

"I guess you'll find out when school starts up again, "Almonder says, "Until then, we are going to make sure this summer, you have the best summer of your life. "
