Chapter 6
Abbey stomped up to Draco the next morning as he ate breakfast. She didn't even care that he was surrounded by his friends.
"Keep your father away from me," she said heatedly, glaring down at him.
"What?" Draco asked, his mouth full of eggs and toast. He swallowed and glanced at his friends for a moment before standing up and beckoning her over to an empty spot further down the table.
They sat down and Abbey crossed her arms over her chest.
"Your father came to my common room last night," she said impatiently, "He then proceeded to tell me 'the plans,' and was practically ordering me."
"He came to your common room?" Draco asked, genuinely surprised.
"Yes, and if he does it again, I swear on my life I'm running away from this place, even if I haven't graduated yet," Abbey replied.
"You can't possibly expect that he'll listen to me?" Draco barked.
"I don't care how you do it," Abbey snapped, standing up, "Just tell him that I'll stay out of his way if he stays out of mine." She then walked off, her shoes slapping the stone floor angrily.
Despite of their agreement, Draco and Abbey barely spoke to each other for the rest of the year. Whenever they did talk it was with strained politeness, and they avoided each other as much as possible.
When graduation day came, both Abbey and Draco were hit with the realization that the wedding was drawing near.
Graduation went by in a blur for Abbey, and the next thing she knew she was boarding the Hogwarts Express. She and Draco agreed to meet each other as soon as they got to King's Cross, so they could sit where they wanted to on the train.
Abbey was silent throughout most of the ride. Harry, Ron, and Hermione didn't press her for anything…they let her sit in silence as she wished.
They began to talk a little bit during dinner. Abbey sat chewing on her sandwich slowly, staring into space, as if pondering something.
"You know what may be the worst of all?" she asked. Harry, Ron, and Hermione gazed at her.
"What?" Harry asked, putting a hand on Abbey's shoulder.
"None of you are going to be there to at least give me some support," Abbey said softly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"This whole thing about keeping the families pureblood is rubbish," Hermione replied irritably, "Look what it's done to a perfectly innocent girl."
"We'll be thinking of you," Ron said, "And you can always come to the Burrow when you need to get away from them, which I'm sure will be often."
"Thanks, Ron," Abbey replied, smiling through her tears.
"Here, have a chocolate frog," Hermione said, handing one to Abbey, "It'll make you feel better."
Abbey took it from her and took a big bite, and her eyes brightened slightly.
"These have always been my favorite," she said, swallowing.
"Now, who's up for a game of exploding snap?" Harry asked, pulling out the deck of cards and shuffling them. Everyone smiled, even Abbey, and they played for the rest of the trip.
Abbey felt dread sweep over her as she walked off the train, at King's Cross station. She had changed out of her robes for the last time, and was now in a light blue tank top and khaki shorts.
Pulling her trunk along behind her, she gazed around hoping to spot Draco's bright, silver-blonde hair.
"There he is," she said to Ron, Hermione, and Harry as she saw him over by Platform 10. Abbey quickly gave them all hugs.
"It'll be alright, Abbey," Harry said comfortingly as he gave her a hug.
"Don't forget to write," Hermione added.
"And visit us all at the Burrow as often as you can," Ron finished.
"Yeah, Harry and I will be there all summer," Hermione said.
"Thanks guys," Abbey replied, wiping away tears, "I'll see you all soon, hopefully." They all exchanged last-minute goodbyes before Abbey set off towards Draco, who was waiting for her, his arms crossed over his chest.
When she reached him, he seemed like he almost didn't recognize her at first. If it wasn't for his bright hair, Abbey probably wouldn't have noticed him as quickly either. Neither of them had seen each other without their school robes on. Draco was wearing jeans and a dark green, short-sleeved polo shirt.
"Let's go," he mumbled, grabbing his trunk and leading her out of the station. As they walked off, Abbey glanced over her shoulder and gave one last wave at Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
Uh oh...off to the Malfoy Manor! Hope you liked it! Please review!
