April, was not better. The month was worse. The Carrow's were crucioing people left and right. Not Slytherin of course,but, she noticed the growing discomfort and nervousness of the students around her. She noticed how scary it was to walk alone in the hall if you were a slytherin.
Astoria had been ambushed twice. Because of this her and her fellow Slytherin's kept to themselves in their common room. Astoria became more speaking to Nellie or her previous good friends nearly as much as she once had.
She kept to herself with Daphne,Theodore and Draco mostly. When he wasn't slipping away with the other followers...She knew they were after Dumbeldore's Army. The D.A had slowly begun disapearing and she knew Crabbe and Goyle had been given the mission of finding said D.A members by the Carrow's.
She knew Draco was sticking close to his old cronies in order to get a hint on where the D.A was hiding. They could not have left the school after all. She knew Draco wanted to find the D.A if he did the Dark Lord would surely respect him and his parents more. That was all he wanted. Redemption.
She understood. Definite cliques had formed in the Slytherin house. Most of the younger kids kept to themselves. She had watched Crabbe,Goyle and Pansy form their own group. It was an idiotic idea though because they lacked brains. They had brawn and a bitch,but no one to plan anything out.
Thus it wasn't that probable that the idiotic trio would truly accomplish with Daphne on the floor,while Daphne sat on a chair revising a potions essay. She could not belive how wrong she had been a month ago. Why did nothing seem to work out? Nothing got better, things seemed to be getting worse.
Here she was,confined to her common room,afraid of leaving for fear of getting jinxed, Afraid of admitting anything to anyone. It was an intricate game of chess all over again. She did not want to lose. She refused. She had lost a couple days ago though,because her and Draco had got in another fight.
Over something about him having to apease Him,so that no one got hurt. Was it so bad to want to be wanted. To want to be loved and adored? She didn't think so. Although,she was probably looking for said adoration and love in the wrong place.
She couldn't deny though,that she had feelings for Draco...she loved him maybe. Although she'd never admit it. He was nearly becoming a Gryfindor with his obnoxious redemption thing. She may or may not have told him this in their argument. They had than made out for awhile and than promptly got in another fight.
Leaving Astoria sitting with her seven month pregnant sister. Who was annoyingly cheerful. Looking back at her parchment Astoria sighed in slight defeat. She wished he wasn't so annoying wished he wasn't on this whole redemption saving his and his families arses thing.
She should probably talk to him. Apologize for being so annoying,she had sort of started the fight after all. She was stressed too! Between hiding from the rest of the school,attempting to play the game she'd played since birth,hiding her sisters prgnancy from the gossips in her house and sort of falling in love with a boy who was working under the dark lord. Combine that all with the fact that she did not know what side of the line she stood on war wise. Not that she would admit ANY of that to ANYONE. EVER.
So in the meantime she kept her mouth shut and head thing for her she was good at that.
