A/N: To Nichole87: Yeah, it's really good. Well, if you read them in the right order :)))) (one of my friends started with the second one accidentally) But I really liked them, although they have some "romantic" moments. Btw, they involve witches and vampires and I liked the idea very much. Anyway, here's a new chapter. Enjoy :)

Chapter 37: Not mad

As the days passed at the manor, I grew more and more attached to Narcissa. We baked, painted and had a snow fight in the ballroom. Well...at least it started in there. Somehow we got into Draco's bedroom and hit him with snowballs, and he joined our fight. We had a lot of fun, but I took advantage of the fact that I was there to do research in the library on werewolves and I decided not to tell Harry about it. Maybe I could tell him about Draco...somehow. But about our teacher's furry little problem...

In the time spent at the Malfoys I had no more nightmares, I suspected my mom's friend put a Dreamless Sleep potion in my water at dinner every night, but I wasn't going to complain, I finally got full nights of sleep, not only halves of them. I didn't write letters to anyone during the break, because the twins would get on my nerves with their curiosity about how it was there and if I was having fun, and the others would just ask too much questions. Besides, the Weasleys won some Ministry contest and were in Egypt during Christmas and they took Harry with them.

We decided to go back to Hogwarts a few days earlier to accomodate and because Draco's father was going to come back any moment now and we couldn't risk anything. The night before our leaving, we were in front of the fire, to rest a little after dinner.

"Selene dear, before you leave, I have something for you." She pulled out of a hidden pocket of her dress a little black velvet box in the shape of a rose.

"Another charm..." I whispered, eyes fixed on the little box.

"Yes, a charm indeed" she chuckled softly and opened it.

Inside there was an aqua blue sphere. I took it carefully between my thumb and index fingers and raised it to the level of my eyes.

"Wit" was written on the side. I smiled a little.

"Draco, will you help me put it on the bracelet?"

"Of course..." He stood and came next to me to put on the delicate charm.

"Now, we leave tomorrow and I talked to some people and they said they are coming back tomorrow too. So, different compartments. And be sure that when school starts you don't leave the impression that you know more than you should about what happened in the Chamber or about the new DADA teacher. Just stick to what you behaved like until now and no one will suspect a thing. And by the way, I have to somehow tell Harry about you. Sooner or later. But by how impatient he is, it will be sooner."

That night I fell asleep watching the little blue raven flying across my pink forearm.

Next morning, after breakfast we packed our things. Aside from the clothes that I came there with, I also packed a few dresses that Narcissa gave me. As I finished my trunk, I lifted the charms that I put on the room and looked out the white framed window one last time. Maybe more breaks will be spent at the mannor on the future, but for now, that was it.

I heard a knock at my door.

"Yes ?"

A white head entered followed by a body dressed in a knee length coral dress.

"Cisa. When are we leaving? "

"Well, are you ready? "

"Yeah, just finnished packing."

"Then come to the main hall and I'll Apparate you and Draco to the platform" she said. She pointed her wand at my trunk and it disappeared. Then as she exited the room her dress changed to floor length black robes as she always wore outside the house. I followed her, looking one last time at the room.

Draco was waiting for us, dressed in black jeans and a Slytherin green sweater, a sad expression on his face.

"Hey, cheer up. We're going back to Hogwarts. You're seeing your friends again."

"Yeah, friends. Parkinson I can't stand, Crabbe and Goyle give me headaches and the rest of them are plain mean. Well, Zabinni and Nott seem a little different though. But still...I can't stay with you."

"It's ok. Stay more with the two of them then. And maybe you'll be able to stay at Hogwarts during the first part of the summer. Everything will be alright. Besides, the new DADA teacher isn't Voldy or some narcissist fraud. I bet the rest of the year is going to be just fine."

Draco and his mother looked at each other with serious expressions. My smile faded.

"What? Tell me what happened this time."

"Well, a prisoner...escaped from Azkaban. And...he's quite after you we think."

"What? Who?"

"Sirius Black..."

I burst into a fit of laughter, unable to stop myself. After I calmed down, I realized that the two were staring at me with bewildered looks.

"Are you ok? A mad escapee is running after you and you're laughing?"

"He's definitely not mad, that I know for sure. And he's not after me, but of he isafter someone, I don't know."

"What are you talking about?"

I proceeded to tell them the story, well, what I knew of it at least.

"...and after that, I don't know what really happened on that muggle street, but if Pettigrew died, he deserved it."

The story let them both stunned, unable to talk.

"But...Lucius never told me about Pettigrew being a Death Eater. And I never saw him there."

"His cover had to be good. Now, shall we go? I want to meet Lupin as soon as possible. And maybe Sirius' name will be cleared soon. "

"With that, we Apparated to the wall between platform 9 and 10. They passed and I waited for the Weasleys and Harry.

We barely had time to speak between hugs and hurrying to catch the train.

We ended up in a compartment with a sleeping man in it.

"Wonder who that is." Ron said

"Remus John Lupin." Hermione stated

"How comes you know everything?"

"It's on the suitcase Ronald"

So it was Moony. After the corridor cleared, Harry closed the door and told us what he heard about how Black was after him. Apparently, not even the Glow knew who he really was after (even if he really wasn't).

Well, the rest of the ride went well, at least until the train stopped in the middle of nowhere...

A/N: Hope you liked it. Thanks for reading.
