Chapter 12
The Malfoy Family Honour
The holidays ended abruptly and Hogwarts was once again thrown back into the busy term. It rushed by so quickly until the fifth week for another Quidditch game. This time Gryffindor played Hufflepuff which was surely going to be an easy win especially with the excellent Gryffindor team.
This time Harry was flying against Justin Finch-Fletchley and Harry beat him to the Snitch winning the match 270-80. The team had a massive celebration in the common room that night due to their win and most didn't go to bed until early the next morning.
When Fred and George had finally decided to leave the common room it was just Olivia and Harry. They hadn't been really alone together since that night during the holidays and Harry saw Fred wink at him again before he had left.
"You really deserve all this. You played well against Justin." Olivia said to him.
"Me, play well? We wouldn't have won if you and Angelina hadn't got the Quaffle all those times."
"Stop it Mr Potter, you're making me blush." She replied in a tone of mock embarrassment but then ended up giggling.
"You blush? Don't make me laugh."
"Don't make me blush and I won't make you laugh." She replied and looked straight into his eyes.
Merlin she's gorgeous, Harry thought and seized the moment and leaned into kiss her, he looked up when she didn't return it and he heard Olivia sigh.
"Harry, I'm with Draco, you can't just kiss me because you feel like it."
"I know, it's just when I see you I just can't help it."
"Learn to help it Harry, it's late and we still have lessons tomorrow." With that she got up out of the chair and disappeared up the stairs.
*** Lucius Malfoy sat twirling the end of his wand with his fingertips in the living room of his manor he waited a moment before he heard the front door open and the voice of the house elf. Moments later his son entered a look of panic on his face and a letter tight in his fist.
"Father, what happened? That idiot Dumbledore said something was urgent."
"Be quiet, boy and sit down," he said indicating the spare arm chair. Draco obeyed and sunk into his eyes still fixed on his father.
"Now, how is Miss Harrington?"
"Olivia?"
"Yes, of course Olivia, you ignorant child. How is she?"
"She's okay, at least she's not with Potter."
"Have you spoken with her about the holiday arrangements?"
"Not yet but it's definite she is the daughter of Walter Harrington the ex- auror, his only daughter."
"Good, now did she tell you where he is now?"
"Locked up in St Mungo's apparently."
"And is her blood pure?"
"Perfectly down to her great great great great grandmother."
"Excellent the Lord will be pleased," Lucius Malfoy rose out of his chair. "Well you can go now and owl when she has agreed."

Olivia sat on one of the desks in classroom E and was absent mindedly swinging her legs and humming to herself.
She was singing a chorus she had heard when she had been in London the previous summer, a muggle song.
iIf you could my punk rock princess I would be your garage band king You can tell me why you just don't fit in and how you're gonna be something
If I could be your first sweet heartache I would do it over again If you could be my punk rock princess I would be your heroin /i
She stopped when she heard the door open and saw Draco Malfoy enter and felt the colour flush to her face but he acted as though he hadn't heard.
"Evening," he moved forwards and pulled a chair out next to her.
"What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Arrangements for the Easter holidays. I know you couldn't stay with me over Christmas so what about Easter?"
"That's sounds great but is your father okay with that?"
"Why wouldn't he be?"
Olivia shrugged, running a hand through her hair.
"I don't know."
"That's settled then, anyone I'm sure you've got better things to do, I have some people to meet."
"Alright, goodnight then." She kissed him on the cheek before leaving slightly puzzled.
Draco sat twiddling his thumbs until the door opened once more and a group of boys entered.
"Higgs, Nott, Crabbe, take a seat."
"My father said you were going to explain the arrangements to us,"
"Patience now Higgs I will explain in due time. Firstly you know of Olivia Harrington?"
"Gryffindor, the one Scarhead fancies?" Draco nodded and went on.
"Well said girl is the daughter of one of the most infulencial aurors."
"So what's that got to do with anything?"
"Be quiet Crabbe! I'll continue, well the Dark Lord has decided that it would be best to take this girl and keep her with him for now. You see he needs her blood."
The tall, lanky boy at the back now spoke.
"Are they going to kill her?"
"Of course not Nott, that would be too obvious especially with her staying at my home, Dumbledore would be all over us. No, she'll come back here and won't remember a thing, I need you to make sure you are there on the night of the twenty fifth, for that is when we're needed. They can't use any of the senior members the blood is too young. You can go now, just make sure you're there."
Harry stood outside the ajar door, he'd been looking for Olivia and heard Malfoy's voice. He was sure she'd be with him but had heard other voices. Before turning away he heard something and had decided to stay. As soon as Malfoy dismissed the others he ran, running as fast as he could to Gryffindor Tower.
