Chapter 6
September first came at last. Ruth was awake and ready before the sun came up but knowing the Malfoy Manor as she did know she knew better than to go to breakfast that early, knowing how paranoid Lucius got and how his mind might make him throw and Avada her way.
So she waited for a good hour until at last someone knocked on her door.
"It's open" she answered. Then Lucius popped his head in her room.
"Oh, glad to see someone is ready, come down for breakfast then go directly to my study." He said coldly.
Then she went down for breakfast where the house elves had filled the dining room table with all pancakes, waffles, French toast and all the jams Ruth could think off.
She ate a little of everything before heading to Lucius' study where both Lucius and Draco where waiting for her.
"Sit" he ordered. So she did as she was told and sat next to Draco.
"Draco I want you to look after Ruth I don't want her socializing with Gryffindors especially Potter. Understood?"
"Yes father." He answered.
"Ruth I don't want you to tell anyone about your past…" And before he finished Ruth cut him off.
"Like if I was suicidal." She blurted out.
"Don't interrupt me; I deserve to be respected after all I did for you. Ungrateful little girl." At the same time he stood up ready to curse her.
"Father stop, she is not worth getting caught for." Draco said coolly.
"Leave both of you before I change my mind."
"But…"Ruth tried to reason
"Leave!" he shouted.
With that Draco took Ruth's hand and stormed out of the house.
"Are you stupid!" he whispered getting into the car.
"Why do you say that?" she asked.
"He could have killed you. Ruth you should know better than that."
"But he is the crazy one." She complained.
"If you ass was on the line you would be too."
After that they got on a car so they could reach King Cross Station. After a whole hour of silence they reached the station where Draco led her to platform 9 ¾.
"Find a compartment and don't let anyone with red blue or yellow in. Got it?" He asked.
Yes. She answered.
She found a compartment and drifted into sleep she was woken by the sound of laughter.
"Wa…" she mumbled.
"Oh, you're awake." Said a cheery voice; "Hi, my name is Desiree Moon" she held out her hand. Ruth took it and shook it.
"I'm Ruth Malfoy." she said softly.
You're a Malfoy?!" Desiree said dumbstruck.
"Yeah." Ruth replied ashamed.
"Well, we should change into our robes we should be arriving soon." She said trying to change the subject.
"Ok."
So they change and exactly ten minutes after they arrived at Hogwarts. Ruth who thought nothing could be more beautiful than her old school was surprised to find such a stunning castle. She was happy to be here very happy.
Then she was ushered to a boat by a very tall man. The boat trip led to a cliff. There they climbed and Ruth was ordered to enter the room first.
"This year we will have 5 new students who have come from other schools…" said an old man who Ruth recognize as Albus Dumbledore, One of the greatest wizard of all time, her new Headmaster, and the man she was prohibited to talk to.
Who were the four others anyway?! Ruth berated herself.
