A/N: Thanks for reviewing my cabbages
Chapter 9
Last time
"It's a letter for me. I have to go home. Maybe we can hang out before we get back, if not I guess I'll see you when we get back to school." She hugged both of her friends and went into the fireplace and to her house.
~*~*~*~
Draco sat on the balcony from his room on the third floor of his house. He looked out into the dark breezy night and gazed at the still lake just outside of the tall black gate that opened up to the Malfoy Manor. When a gust of wind would blow Draco stared at the ripples forming on water until they disappeared and the lake went back to looking like glass. Draco looked down at his silver wristwatch in his head he counted down '3, 2, 1'. It looked like a flash of lightening to anyone who didn't know any better. Millions of white lights came on all at the same time. The gardens had an extra glow, fountains turned on and all of the various paths were lit up. Draco sat outside and continued his gaze watching the horses run and the foxes stealthy roam the grounds. A light mist began to fall from the sky and the lights became blurred. Draco stood up and leaned over the banister when he heard crunching stones coming from far down the windy road leading up to the gates. He focused his eyes and could vaguely see two headlights visible between gaps in the trees. The vehicle came closer and the sound of the wheels on the wet road came gradually louder. The gate creaked open and the car proceeded to come up the left side of the circular path and stopped in front of the main doors.
Two built guys stepped out of the car wearing black robes that were being stained by the rain that was now pouring down at a steadier pace. Draco went back into his room and sat on a couch by the fire. He had one thing on his mind the whole time, but his thoughts were disturbed when the two guys stepped into Draco's room, Crabbe and Goyle. Draco shook their hands (not like a formal shake but the grab hand and smash bodies together shake that guys do). The three guys sat down each on a different piece of furniture.
"So what have you two been up to? It took you 4 hours to get here." Draco said with annoyance.
"The floo network was tied up, I guess it was the rain." Crabbe said.
"Ever hear of sending me an owl and telling me? Hermione has been waiting for more 6 hours. Now if she even read my letter she's gonna think that I'm lying to her about the whole thing. We can't leave now the rain needs to stops some." he said realizing how bad this made him look from Hermione's point of view.
Goyle just made a weird noise and Draco rested his elbows on his knees and massaged his eyebrows. Crabbe just sat sitting perfectly straight looking around Draco's room.
Looking dead, Crabbe and Goyle sat in silence drinking hot chocolate the house elves brought them. Draco was sitting at his desk getting a head start on resorting the entire school. He finished the first through third years, and the rain was still pouring down. He sealed the list in a heavy envelope and attached to his owls leg with difficulty due to the repetitive snaps from the stubborn owl. Draco held the owl in one hand and opened the window with the other. The owl put up a good fight, not wanting to deliver the important letter in the freezing rain. He fluttered his wings in protest making it difficult to fit the large bird out the window. Finally the bird gave in, by this time Crabbe and Goyle were chatting in hushed whispers with malicious smirks on their faces. They immediately stopped talking when they realized that Draco was staring right at them looking confused.
Draco headed for the doors that lead to the main hallway with his two cronies' right behind them. He walked down the spiral stairs and into the well-lit foyer. He opened the door out front and got into the drivers side of the car. Crabbe sat down next to Draco and Goyle behind Crabbe. The engine started and the exhaust showed clearly in the cold air.
They drove down many dark narrow roads and the storm tapered off a few hours into the trip. The farther north they drove, the roads got progressively icier and sometime along the way Crabbe and Goyle fell asleep. When they reached a toll Draco checked his pockets but he didn't have any muggle money. He just sat by the small area where you throw the change into and waited. Car horns honked from behind while miles of vehicles waited impatiently. Draco got evil glares from passers. He just sat there and waited, he didn't know what for, but he was waiting. After about a half hour of just sitting at the toll and causing a lot of delay for other travelers, flashing red and blue lights were visible approaching the car in the mirrors.
Draco whipped his wand out and started shooting spells at flashing lights trying to block what he thought were spells from dark wizards. He peered his head over the seat and the lights were gone. He got back into his seat. Draco sat down triumphantly because he had just 'defeated wizards' or what he thought were wizards. An officer knocked on the window startling Draco leaving a fingerprint in the foggy glass. Draco began to whistle and look around pretending not to notice the officer. "Shit I used magic in front of muggles." he said under his breath. The officer began to take out a notepad and more officers on where closing in on Draco's car.
