We returned to Britain in a happy mood. The Daily Prophet had a field day celebrating my victory.Ron Weasely will be very mad I guess which was a welcoming thought.
There were other reasons for the happy mood of the British wizarding world. The quidditch world cup finals will be taking place in Britain. There was much fanfare for that as well. Narcissa and myself got an invitation by Minister Fudge.
So we left for the game between Ireland and Bulgeria. We erected a tent near the Greengrass family.
"Who do you think will win Draco" Daphne asked
"Ireland will win. They have a better team. All they have to fear from the Bulgarians is Krum." I said to her
"Will you be watching the game with the minister then." she asked
"That man is a fool, but he is the Minister.I will have to endure his company." I said
Myself and Narcissa left for the top box and greeted Fudge.He was a complete moron, your typical politician with no brains but hot air in his head. We greeted thr Bulgarian minister as well.
The match was very interesting.It was a very fast paced game. Ireland had the superiority in chasers. That showed in the result as krum caught the snitch but Ireland won the match.
We returned back to our tent but after some time we heard screams from outside. The death eaters started attacking the crowd.
One of the dressed up morons came my way.I quickly casted "Avada kedavra" and the green curse struck the fool and he lay on the ground dead.Narcissa took my hand and apparated before I killed anyone else in my anger.
That night I channeled my anger on Narcissa as I fucked her rough.
The next morning the Daily Prophet showed the Dark mark in the sky and the speculation about how Sirius Black casted it there.
There was also the report of a single dead death eater.The Prophet speculated that he was under the Imperius curse of Sirius Black. But got killed when he broke off the curse by Black himself.That one made me laugh.
That day was spent purchasing the school supplies. Since most of the shops now operated from the mall in hogesmeade everything was rather easy to get and I met up with the rest of my friends. They spent the better part of the day there.
Draco pulled aside Daphne from the group and pushed her into one of the secret passages in the mall.
"Draco where are we" Daphne asked
"We are in a secret passage in the mall. I built it here incase of emergencies like this." I said
"Where are we going." Daphne asked
"I am taking you to muggle London. But before that we must change our dress." I said
Once we reached the basement we changed our clothes. Draco wore blue Jeans and blue shirt with a jacket. Daphne picked picked a black Jeans and a black round neck top.We put on a pair of sneakers and then he took her hand and dissaperated to muggle London.
The first place we wisited was the Westminster Abbey.
"What is this place." Daphne asked me in wonder
"Westminster Abbey, this is the coronation church of England. This is mostly old architecture. Wait till I take you to more places. You will be very surprised with what the muggles accomplished Daphne. There is so much we could learn from them." I whispered to her
We spent some time there then I took her to a sea life aquarium in London. She loved that very much as sea creatures are hardly seen in the wizarding world. Seeing the aquarium inspired me also. I decided I will be building an aquarium in the wizarding world much better than this one.
After we ended the aquarium tour we spent some time in a nearby park.
"Thank you Draco for taking me here." Daphne said
"It was no problem. You did say you wanted to visit the muggle world, so here we are." I said
"We will have to return fast. My father might check up on me." Daphne said
"Don't worry, I already asked his permission. You are free till the evening with me." I said to her
"Why didn't you say anything to me." She asked
"I wanted it to be a surprise. Now lets go, there is much more to see." I said with a smile
I took her to many other places across london that day.With a promise of another visit we left the muggle london. She had a hand full of bags with muggle clothing and other things that took her fancy with her when we left, most of which was not available in the mall due to the cultural clash that it will cause.
I took her to the Greengrass manor. After briefly speaking with Damien Greengrass I returned to home and decided to sleep after having dinner. Narcissa was running late as she was busy at the mall.
The next day I rose early and began preparing my trunk.After I arranged everything I said goodbye to Narcissa and left for the train station.
Once I was there on the platform I met up with Daphne and we secured a lone compartment.We did not see Tracy or Blaise for some time so to pass time I pulled Daphne on to my lap and kissed her. She was initially surprised but kissed me back as she threw her arms around my neck and deepened the kiss. Just then the compartment door slid open and we saw Blaise and Tracy standin there.
They looked at us surprised. We immediately broke off and Daphne settled beside me.Tracy and Blaise silently entered the compartment and shut the door and then turned on us.
"So this why you two ditched us in the mall.How long has this been going on . Spill all the secrets now" Tracy demanded
"We were together since this summer. I asked her fathers permission this summer as well." I said
"I was about to tell you Tracy when we reach Hogwarts." Daphne said
"Where did you two go yesterday." Blaise asked amused
" Draco took me to the muggle world" Daphne answered
"What, tell me all the details" Tracy squeeled in excitement
Daphne and Tracy began to drift off into their own world while I played chess with Blaise.
Once we reached the Hogesmeade station we entered a carriage and moved towards Hogwarts castle.
"Do you know what is happening in Hogwarts this year. There has been some strange comments from my parents." Tracy said
"Father also said something along the lines to me.Draco do you know what it is" Daphne asked
"You usually know things like this ." Blaise supported
"If I say it will spoil the suspence" I warned
"So you do know it. Tell us " Tracy said
"Hogwarts this year will host the Tri-Wizard tournament. Dumstrang and Bauxbatons students will come to Hogwarts to compete this year." I said
"What, they are conducting that tournament this year.But, wasn't it stopped because of the high death rate." Blaise asked
"The ministry is full of morons. Their timing could not be any better." I said darkly
"Why is that Draco" Daphne asked
"There has been whispers in certain crowds. The dark mark is getting stronger every day. Many are saying that the dark lord is regaining strength and is about to come back." I said quietly
"But didn't Potter kill him" Tracy asked worriedly
"Only utter fools and morons will believe that buffoon could blow up a dark lord that has fought Dumbledore to a stand still.That is merely ministry propagated rumors with no logic. No whatever happened that night it destroyed the dark lords power and weakened him but he never died. He is slowly regaining his power." I said
"What will we do" Daphne asked
"Nothing. We must increase our influence in the house. We need more control in our house otherwise the coming years will be difficult for us." I said
The rest of the ride was silent. We finally reached the gates of Hogwarts. We walked towards the great hall. Students were slowly filling in the hall once we reached there.
I sqid hello to my housemates and talked briefly with the quidditch team. After that I sat beside Daphne.The rest of the students entered the hall. Then the sorting ceremony happened.I was bored with that so I discretely casted a notice me not ward and I slowly began to draw circles on Daphne's leg. She looked at me alarmed but I didn't stop and I slowly rubbed her waist.
Just then Dumbledore stepped up to the podium. I immediately cancelled the ward and payed him my full attention.
"There are some announcements to be made.
The corridors will banned of the usage of magic. There are some items banned in hogwarts, the full list can be seen at Filch's office.
This year I am sorry to say there will be no quidditch matches in hogwarts as we will be hosting the Tri-Wizard tournament between Howarts, Bauxbatons and Dumstrang. Tommorrow the students of other two schools will be coming here so welcome them.
Another much more happier news can be shared. Some of you might already be aware one of our student participated in the under 16 International Duelling Championship.Despite greater odds this student has become the world champion.Pleas give a great applause to Mr. Draco Malfoy of fourt year Slytherin House." Dumbledore said
Admist the applause I stood and gave a small bow to headmaster and sat down as others shaked my hand.The Gryffindor table was silent as a grave.
"Yes now please finish your dinner and be on your way to your respective common rooms." Dumbledore said
Just then the doors of the great hall was opened with a bang.With a clunking sound Alastor Moody walked in taking a sip from his flask.
"Ah , let me introduce you to your new defence against the dark arts teacher Alastor Moody" Dumbledore said with a flourish
Nobody clapped as they were intimidated by the new addition.
That night as I lay on the bed I could not sleep as I was thinking about the coming days. I checked the map and I saw Alastor Moody in his room along with Barty Crouch.
I sighed as I set aside the map. I cannot afford to have the map outside the common room this year. Crouch will be able to see that with his magical eye.I will also have to remove the bracelet from Daphne as well. But luckily she was now completely under my control. I have been slowly training her all this summer after all and this year I will complete her training.With that thought I slowly drifted off to sleep.
