Chapter 17: There will be no goodbyes
"Explain yourself, Draco." Lucius said to Draco upon his entry while calmly seated at one of the chairs in the dungeons.
"What do you want to hear, father?" Draco asked and walked straight to him.
"EVERYTHING! I am not here to have a pet talk with you. I am here to know why are you so attached to that filthy mudblood!" Lucius said to him and dragged Draco by his collar.
"Hermione Granger is the Head Girl. I am with here because we are supposed to work together." Draco said calmly beneath Lucius strong grip.
"Is that so? Then why are telling her that you owe your life to her? Do you forget that we are pureblood, rich and powerful people? Why are you owing your life to someone who is such a dump?" Lucius said and banging Draco at the wall.
"Because that is the truth! I owe her everything when I knew her. She is not a dump, father. She is a witch. She is a girl with absolute powers." Draco said while holding his father's hand in his throat.
"When do you learn to answer like that? What are you imposing? You care for that MUDBLOOD? She isn't a witch and even deserving to be in the Wizarding World. She is a disgrace, having a dirty blood in her veins doesn't make her any good." Lucius said but tightening his grip to Draco's throat.
"I damn care for her, Father! She who is a dirty blood gave me that damn reason to live!" Draco shouted at Lucius face.
"You are so brave to tell me that. Let's see. I will bring you home this instant. I will show you who is telling the truth. And one more thing, I will not call-off your wedding with Pansy. Let's go now to Dumbledore, I can't wait to see your mother cry." Lucius said and dragged Draco to the Headmaster's office.
The next day…
"Drakie…oh where's my Drakie? He flew last night to the Manor with Sir Lucius. I wonder what's the rush." Pansy said to one of her housemates while walking towards the Great Hall.
"Maybe Malfoys have a big event, a family reunion perhaps?" The girl beside Pansy said.
"Oh…I wonder why they didn't invite me besides I'll be a future Malfoy too." Pansy said and headed to the Hall.
Ron by that time was pacing right where the Slytherin Girls were. He heard everything and wondered why Draco Malfoy headed to home last night.
"Ron, what are you doing in the hallway? You're blocking the way." Hermione said and dragged Ron to their House Table.
"Why are you standing there? Is there a problem or something bothering you?" Hermione asked.
"Where is Malfoy?" Ron asked immediately.
"Uh…I don't know. He didn't sleep in our dormitory last night." Hermione answered and searched for the blond guy at the Slytherin table but found none.
"Why are you asking, Ron?" Hermione asked but with worry in her eyes.
"I wonder why he go straight from home, what's in the hurry?" Ron asked.
"What? Did I hear you right? He went home." Hermione asked and stood up.
"I'm afraid he did." Ron answered and Hermione stormed out of the Hall.
