The two weeks I was spending away from Draco were starting to feel like two years. "Don't think about him, you'll make yourself lovesick again." Melinda advised as we lay on my bed. I nodded. "So what happened with you and Ron?" "I chucked him coz it was soooo obvious that he fancied Hermione... and I think I'm starting to like Harry..." I rolled my eyes. "He's a bit of a minger..." "Oh yea, and Malfoys a total sex symbol!" "He is!" I protested. "And I mean, Ron's ginger!" "Ok so you beat me on that one." "He's sooo gorgeous." I sighed. Melinda rolled her eyes at me before we started laughing. "When was the last time we were this close?" Mel asked. "Years." I replied. "I'd like to keep it this way." "Yea, me too." I smiled.
The day of the funeral came. I was relieved as I knew I'd soon be back with Draco. Mom tried her best not to cry. I couldn't though, I knew that no one had ever met the real Clarissa and that if they had that no one would be standing here today.
I spoke to Mom afterwards about moving out. She simple replied "If it will help." tearfully and handed me the money. I was a very happy bunny .
I returned to Hogwarts feeling fantastic. "Hey!" Draco grinned as I sat next to him. "Hi!" I grinned back throwing my arms around him. "How was-" "Grim, but guess what!" "What?" "I got my own place!" I grinned. "So I'll definately be saved?" "Yes." I grinned. He grinned back at me.
We had Transfiguration first lesson. Professor MacGonagall wasn't there so we had some batty old woman instead.
