Chapter 9.
Sadie did not feel like leaving her room the next day, she did not think she could face Lucius after what had happened last night. It still bothered her a lot, knowing how much she wanted to be with him, and why she hadn't seen it for wrong in the first place. Maybe she hadn't thought it would have gone as far as it did. And what about the deal her uncle had made with Voldermort? Was Lucius telling her the truth, or was it all just a lie. She rolled over in her bed. Would Lucius tell anyone about what had happened last night? Someone knocked on her door. She knew it was Lucius, so she pretended to be asleep.
"Sadie?" a voice called. It did not belong to Lucius, but Draco. She jumped out of bed and opened the door.
"I thought you were staying with your aunt?" Sadie asked, after they had broken apart from a hug.
"I was, but there's something I have to tell you" he said. He closed the door behind him. "Sadie, I love you. I didn't think it was possible for me to feel this way, but after the other night, well I did some thinking. I love you" he repeated. Sadie stood at him, just staring. She threw her arms around his neck.
"I love you too" she said, crying. Her worries were gone. Lucius was out of her mind, and so was Voldermort. He held her for what seemed like an eternity, until Lucius opened the door.
"Draco, when did you get back?" he asked. They broke apart. Sadie was afraid to even look at Lucius.
"Early this morning" he replied.
"I see you're finally up Sadie" he said. She didn't look at him.
"Yeah, I just got up" she said, her eyes fixed firmly on the floor. Draco looked at her, then at his father.
"Anything to eat? I'm starving" Draco said, and he left the room, leaving Sadie and Lucius alone once again.
"I'm sorry" he said quickly.
"Don't be. It was my fault" she replied, still not looking at him. "Is Narcissa back yet?".
"No" he replied shortly. She managed to look up at him. He wore the same expression he had worn last night. Sadie left the room. Lucius pulled the door shut behind her, brushing against her hip. He pulled away quickly as they both went downstairs. Draco was sitting in a chair, reading through the Daily Prophet.
"Anything interesting?" she asked, sitting down beside him. He shook his head. Draco put the paper down and left the room.
"Lucius I have to ask you something" Sadie said finally. He looked up at her.
"What you told me last night, about the Dark Lord, were you telling the truth?" she asked.
"Of course. I wouldn't lie to you Sadie, reguardless of what you think" he replied.
"That's what I was afraid of" she admitted. He reached across the table and grasped her hand.
"Don't be afraid" he told her. Draco came back into the room, and Lucius quickly let go of her hand. Sadie wasn't sure if Draco had seen it, because he looked at his father for a bit before he sat back down.
"Actually I need to finish unpacking. I'll be back down in a bit" he said.
"I'll go with you" Sadie said quickly, standing up. She did not really want to be alone with Lucius. They went upstairs together.
"What's with you and my dad?" Draco asked.
"Nothing, why would you say that?" she asked.
"It's just the way he looks at you. I don't really know how to explain it" he said. Sadie had no intention of telling Draco about last night, nor did she want to think about it.
"Well, there is something that he told me last night..." she started. She sat down on his bed. She told him everything Lucius had said to her last night about Voldermort. Draco stared at her.
"Wow...I mean, are you alright?" he asked when she had finished her story.
"Well, I am a bit scared, I won't lie to you" she admitted. Draco stared into her eyes.
"I won't let anything hurt you. I promise" he said. He held her in his arms, as she cried. She felt better, but what would Draco do if Voldermort came to collect her?
