Chapter 15

News to Kill

Four months after the Ball not much had changed. Well, except for the fact that Oliver spent all of his free time with Angelina, and Draco and Jennifer were closer than ever. But Jennifer was also hiding something from Draco, and that was part of the reason why she was always with him, spending as much time with him as possible.



One day, as Jennifer and Draco were walking around the Quidditch field, Jennifer broke the news to him.

"Umm, Draco. . ." she said nervously.

"Yeah babe, what is it?" he replied as he put his arm around her waist.

"I have to tell you something. I think you should sit down."

"Alright," he answered confused, "Tell me."

She brought him over to a nearby bench and sat down next to him. "I'm not gonna be coming to this school anymore," she said, awaiting his reply.

Draco just sat there, letting what she had told him sink in. Was she really going to leave him? Now, when he wanted her the most? "You-you're joking right?" he asked nervously, looking her in the face.

She looked down at the floor and replied, "I wish. But I'm not. The Ministry of Magic transferred my dad and now I'm going to be going to Beauxbatons."

Draco didn't know what to say. He just sat there, thinking about how this news was going to destroy his life. "Then I'll go with you!" he exclaimed as he jumped up. "I'll have my dad buy a new house so I can go to the same school with you! And he has everyone wrapped around his finger so it won't be a problem having him transferred!"

Jennifer smiled weakly. "I wish it were that simple. But do you really think that he's going to listen to you? You yourself know that he isn't going to rest until he gets Dumbledore fired."

Draco sighed, "Yeah, you're probably right."

They both sat there for what seemed like hours until Draco spoke again. "I'm gonna miss you," he said as he put his arm around her waist and gave her a kiss.

"I'm gonna miss you too" she replied.

They finally got up and walked back into the castle.
