To Choose The Lesser Of Two Evils
Chapter 2:Wishes Can Come True
Badria arrived home a few seconds later. Her mother was sitting on the couch by the fire. Something was
wrong, Badria could tell. Audrey looked very worried.
"Hello dear, how are you?" asked Audrey.
"Oh I'm fine, Mom, but uh ... what's going on?" responded Badria.
Ramsay arrived through the fireplace at that very moment.
"Dad, what's going on?" asked Badria.
"Well, the Ministry of Magic contacted Lucius and I earlier this evening, saying that they believed that
Mal Inc. was practicing Dark magic. We're facing an inquiry. We need to stay together. That's why you
are going to Hogwarts. You will be with Draco. All of your personal belongings have already been
moved to the house in England," said Ramsay.
"Are we going there tonight?" asked Badria.
"No, we're leaving first thing in the morning. The Malfoys will be there at ten. We have to make
arrangements for you and Draco to get back to Hogwarts by first period on Thursday," explained Ramsay.
"Oh, okay. Well I guess I better get ready to go to bed. I'm kind of tired, from practice and all," said Badria.
"Good night, honey. See you in the morning," said Audrey, giving her a kiss.
"Good night, Mom. Good night, Dad." said Badria.
"Good night," said Ramsay. Badria turned around and left the room. 'Oh my god, whats going on? I can
tell somethings wrong with Mom, she looks so upset. I hope Dad and Lucius can clear up this thing at
work. Being accused of practicing Dark magic is no laughing matter. They could get in so much trouble.'
thought Badria.

"Mr. Malfoy, did you hear me? Mr. Malfoy? Mr. Malfoy?" said Professer
McGonagall.
Crabbe kicked the back of Draco's chair.
"Huh .. ugh .. what was the question Professer?" asked Draco.
"Mr. Malfoy, do you ever pay attention? I just said that your father is here to pick you up. You're
supposed to meet him in the Headmaster's Office now. Professor Snape is here to escort you there. You
may go." said McGonagall sternly.
"Whatever you say, Professor," sneered Draco.
Draco stood up, grabbed his books, and walked out of the room feeling very confused. Sure enough, there
was Snape waiting for him in the hallway.
"Professor, what's going on?" asked Draco. "Why is my father here? He never comes here unless its
extremely important."
"I'm not sure, Draco, but I think it has something to do with his company. He's taking you out of school
for a couple days." replied Snape. The two continued down the hallway together in silence. Snape
stopped at a gargoyle.
"Sherbet lemon." he muttered. The gargoyle turned to allow them into a doorway. The walked through
until they got to Dumbledore's office. Lucius and Dumbledore were sitting there in silence.
"Hello Father," he said.
"Hello Draco. We will be leaving now, Albus. Thank you." said Lucius.
"Goodbye. I'll see you in a few days, Draco. Good luck." replied Dumbledore.
"Goodbye Headmaster." said Draco. Lucius threw some Floo Powder into the fire, walked in, shouting
'Malfoy Manor'. Draco followed him, doing the same.

Badria woke up the next morning excited about the events that would be taking place that day. The night
before, she had packed up all of her belongings that she would need in England. Before she had even gotten out
of bed, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in," said Badria. The door opened, and four of the maids came in, all carrying at least ten boxes
each.
"Where would you like these?" asked one of the maids.
"Just anywhere. What are they?" said Badria.
"They're all of your supplies for your new school. Your mother wants you to put them all in the trunk in
your closet. When you're done someone will come up here to get it." replied the maid.
"Okay, thank you." said Badria. The maids put all of the boxes down and left. Badria got out of bed and
pulled the huge trunk out of her closet. One by one, she piled all of the boxes in it. There certainly were
a lot of them. She looked at the clock on her wall. It said 9 o'clock. 'Oh no,' she thought, 'the Malfoys are
going to be here in an hour. I better hurry up and get ready or I'll be in trouble.' She grabbed the pair of
emerald green robes that someone had laid out for her and ran into her bathroom.
***
Fifty minutes later, Badria ran into the drawing room, to find her mother and father there. 'Whew,' she
thought, 'that was a close one. One minute later and Dad would have killed me.'
"Ahh .. I see you decided to grace us with your presence, Badria. It's about time. The Malfoys should be
here any minute now." said Ramsay.
"Oh that's great, Dad. I'm sorry about my timing, I was packing my trunk, and didn't notice the time." said
Badria.
"I see. Next time you should pay a little more attention." said Ramsay, rather coldly. Thankfully for
Badria, the Malfoys arrived through the fireplace right then. Badria said a quick prayer of thanks to
herself. Badria just stood there while the adults busied themselves with their hello's. She didn't see
Draco walk over to her.
"What, no hello?" he said, smirking.
"What .. oh Draco!! Oh I've missed you so much!!" cried Badria, flinging herself into his open arms. He
pulled her over into a corner unseen by their parents.
"I've missed you, too. I'm so happy that you're finally coming to Hogwarts with me." he whispered into
her ear. He leaned his head down and kissed her lightly on the lips. It happened so quickly that Badria
wondered if it actually happened at all. 'Whoa .. wait a minute .. whats going on?' she thought. Sure they
had kissed before, like on holidays, but only on the cheek. She had always felt something for him, but she
wasn't sure what or how much.
"Okay, now down to business." said Lucius. He motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Father, what is this all about?" asked Draco. Apparently, Draco also hadn't been told much of what was
going on.
"Well, its a very long story that I don't feel like explaining, but it has to do with Mal Inc. The Ministry of
Magic believes that we are using Dark magic on some of our employees. So we're facing an inquiry.
We need to do a lot investigating into these charges, and therefore, the Malcones are moving back to
England. That way, we will be closer to each other. But I have to say, it will be nice to have you back in
the country again. Now, Audrey didn't want Badria to be so far away from all of us, and since she had
been asking to go to Hogwarts, she decided to transfer her. The Hogwarts Express is leaving from
King's Cross tonight at seven. Draco and Badria, you'll be taking that. You will get to school in time to get
settled before first period class." explained Lucius, "now Badria, if all of your things are packed, we can
be on our way to our house. We have to pick up Draco's things before we go to London."
"I'm ready to go." said Badria. 'Wow' she thought, 'I know I wished for changes, but this a little much.'
