An awful silence filled the room. Melinda and Hermione started sobbing, I ran over to Draco. He held me close and kissed me for what seemed like forever (Don't ya just love them kinda kisses!) "What should we do?" "We'll leave her until someone finds her." Draco replied. "But-" Melinda gasped. "People will figure it was an accident." I said. "Can't we..." Hermione said desperatley. "Face it mudblood, she's a goner... and good thing too. The bitch was crazy." he said cooly. "Malfoy your a jerk" she scowled. I laughed. "Shut up!" Melinda scowled at the three of us. She then led the way out of the room.
I awoke the next morning feeling good. All of last nights events seemed a blur... like a weird dream. There was much commotion in the Great Hall. The room fell silent as I entered the room. I knew they'd found Clarissa's body. 'Time to play the part of the greiving sister I guess...' I thought to myself. I sat down next to Draco who I knew would be telling everyone details about how he'd made sure I was ok when I found out about Clarissa's death. "Of course she was distraught, but she was fine after I did my thing." I rolled my eyes as I overheard him saying that. "Is that so?" I laughed as I sat next to him. "... Yes!" He replied. I smiled and kissed him. "Get a room!" Sally joked before I showed her my fingre. It just wasn't sinking in and I was glad. I didn't wanna lose this good feeling. "Hey Dru listen... I'm really sorry..." Sally mumbled from across the table. "Don't" I replied, "You know how much I hate that" She nodded and continued her breakfast. I knew I'd be saying this alot today.
Me and Mel had to go home for a couple of weeks for the funeral. This was the perfect chance to bug my mom about getting my own place. "I'll see ya." Draco sighed. I kissed him goodbye. "I'll miss you." I whispered. "I'll miss you too." After that I felt like crying all the way home.
"Here you are." My mom smiled handing me my dinner. "So who was that boy you were with before we went?" I blushed and looked down at my plate. "Draco Malfoy." Melinda replied for me. "Isn't that Lucius Malfoy's son?" I nodded. "Hmmm." My mother replied raising an eyebrow. "He's an alright kid" Melinda said helping me out. "Well we don't really see eye to eye... but he's not a... bad... person" She said as if doubting it. "Well anyway him and Drusilla are hardly ever apart so he can't be that bad!" she smiled. I smiled back. "Hmm, he's quite a good looking boy." My mom commented. Melinda raised her eyebrows yet again as if she doubted it. "He's yummy!" I grinned. My mom stared at me. I blushed and carried on eating my dinner. "I meant... dinner... is yummy... ahem..." she shook her head and turned to Melinda. "And what about you and-" "We split up." Mel replied. Mom seemed to take that as an indication to stop talking about
