Chapter 10 - Meeting with a new person
'Hey, Dumbledore's strange,' said Pansy.
'What do you mean, Pansy?' asked Ginny and candy stimuneously.
'You know, he's been acting a bit wierd lately. Since Candy transferred into Slytherin. He's more stricter than usual.'
'Yeah, I agree. I was actually shocked when Dumbledore suspended Potter and Weasley. I thought Potter is Dumbledore's all time favourite!' exclaimed Blaise.
'Well, time do change, don't they?' asked Candy knowingly.
'Anyway, back to Draco. What are we going to do about him?' asked Pansy.
They talked about Draco until they reached the hospital wing. They entered the wing and was surprised to see Mrs Malfoy kneeling down on the floor, sobbing, with Mdm Pomfrey comforting her.
'Um.. Mrs Malfoy? Are you okay?'
'Pansy! I'm glad to see you! You must be C-c-candy! *sob*'
'Yes, Mrs Malfoy. I am Candy. Please sit down, I can't bear to see someone crying on the floor.'
'Oh, sorry, Candy dear. I just feel depressed and worried about Draco. He's in danger, I suppose.'
'Don't worry, Mrs Malfoy. He will be okay, I'm sure of that.'
'Oh, thank you, girls. You cheered me up a bit. Candy, can I have a moment with you? In private?'
'Oh, yes, Mrs Malfoy. I'd be glad to,' smiled Candy.
Both Candy and Mrs Malfoy went inside Mdm Pomfrey's office as Mdm Pomfey needed to attend to Draco and giving him a potion to drink.
'Please sit down, Candy.'
'Erm.. Thank you, Mrs Malfoy.'
'Okay. Ready for a talk with me?'
'Yeah.'
'Good. Now, I just need to clarify some things with you. Draco has told me lots about you. By owl post, of course. He told me his feelings about you and also his secrets. He did not dare tell his father about this, though. I know that you know Lucius is still mad at your real parents for killing the dark lord. Right? Well, if he found out that Draco has deep friendship with the person he most loath, he will be outraged. Draco has told you everything that happened to him before, I suppose?'
Candy shook her head no.
'Since Draco did not tell you, I would be glad to tell you. As you can see, Draco is the most horrible kis in Slytherin. He is the most hatred kid in Hogwarts. Why do you think so? Because of his treatment at home. He is always being tortured by his father even if he did a very small mistake like spilling water all over the place. he would even be placed under a curse. I remembered once Lucius threatened to put Draco under the killing curse if he tries to talk about the dark lord again. But I don't think Lucius would ever do it, though. Draco always talked about the dark lord at home. Always. But he never got killed by Lucius. why? Because the dark lord would kill Lucius instead if he kills Draco. Draco is the most suitable heir for the dark lord in Voldemort's point of view. Draco never dreamt of being a death eater. Never at all,' said Mrs Malfoy, almost out of breath.
Before Candy could open her mouth, they heard a scream from the wing.
'AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
