I sat on the stairs for an hour or so contemplating my life and what Hermione had said. I played with the small box and smiled. Finally Mrs. Weasley came out to check on me.
She sighed and then spoke. "Are you alright Draco?" she asked politely. I nodded.
"Well, if you'd like we'd like for you to come in and eat with us." She motioned towards the door and I looked in and smiled.
"Are you sure you wouldn't mind?" I responded. I knew the answer.
"Of coarse." She looked down at the package as I hid it in my pocket for later use.
I walked in and there was everyone waiting for me. I smirked out of pure amusement and sat down. Mr. Weasley cut the ham (all 3) and started dishing it out. The food smelled so good. It felt odd to actually smell food. I sat there for a minute or so just smelling the food. I know I probably looked odd.
After dinner more presents came out. Mrs. Weasley gave me one and I felt bad. I dug into my pockets and produced flowers from my wand for her. Lily's, her favourite… I think she knew I didn't have anything but she didn't care. I whipped up a little crystal dove for Ginny and watched the rest of the family.
The whole family got sweaters except me and Mrs. Weasley felt bad. I told her don't mind it. They really were horrible. Ron got a few things from his brothers and a Flametail Dragon's scale, made of cool fire that was hardened. Ginny got some clothes and "graduation" gifts from her brothers. It was really nice to see how a somewhat normal family functioned. Then the boys went home and Mr. Weasley went to bed. He still had to go to the Ministry the next mourning.
It was about 10 o'clock when I headed into the kitchen with Ginny and Mrs. Weasley.
"Mrs. Weasley, I think I'm going to look for a house tomorrow." I suddenly said.
"What about your father?" Ginny said.
A shocked Mrs. Weasley looked at me and tried her best to look happy. "What are you to do?"
I looked at them. "As for my father, I'm to change my identity, My new name is Dom Dragon." I smiled inwardly "and own my own store." Although they didn't know it, I went to Gringott's and took all my money and put it into another account. I have millions in another lot that my father cannot get. "I was raised in the Dark Arts so I'll open a store. He'll never know." I watched the look on Mrs. Weasley's face. She looked let down. "Of coarse I'll pay you back for staying here."
"Nonsense." She said worry in her eyes. "Nonsense" she repeated reassuring herself.
"Are you sure?"
"We're positive." Ginny said firmly.
"You can come to visit…I sort of already know were it will be." I added. "It's in an alley off of Knockturn Alley. I'll be mainly selling potion supplies."
Ginny smirked. "I won't tell Ron"
I yawned and Mrs. Weasley decided to call it a night. I slowly walked up the stairs and I only just briefly closed my eyes when I slipped. All I remember was that Ginny lunged towards me. I smacked my head off the banister and was out cold.
