Chapter 12.
"Sadie, where are we going? You heard my father, we can't get away" Draco said once they had stopped.
"True, but it'll take them a lot longer. We're going back to Bulgaria" she said. And, before Draco had time to argue, she grabbed his arm and they Apparated out. Bulgaria was exactly what Draco had expected it to be: Cold. They had stopped running. Sadie stopped.
"What is it?" Draco asked.
"I'm trying to remember...this way" Sadie said, pulling him along. "I remember my uncle saying that my parents had hidden from the Dark Lord somewhere near here. The only reason they were caught was because they left. We should be safe here" she said. He looked at her skeptically.
"Darling, it's a large lump of rock" he said. Sadie pulled out her wand and tapped it several times. The boulder moved, revealing a hole with a ladder down the side of it.
"Come on" she said, going down the hole. He followed her. The ladder lead off into a large underground sitting room, complete with a large bed.
"As far as I know, Voldermort never knew about this place. She sat down on the edge of the bed. Draco sat next to her. Neither spoke for several minutes.
"What did my father whisper in your ear when you told him to let you go?" Draco asked finally. Sadie looked at the floor.
"He said not again" she replied sofly.
"Not again? What does that mean" he asked. Sadie sighed.
"Draco there's something I haven't told you. The night you left, your father and I had a few drinks, and I kissed him. Once I had realized what I had done, I was furious with myself, but he wouldn't let me go. I thought...I thought something was going to happen. He had me pinned against a wall, I was so terrified. That's why I haven't been able to look at him" she finished. Draco was staring at her.
"You...and my father?" he finally said. Sadie started crying.
"I told you, nothing happened. I finally managed to push him away from me" she said quickly. Draco wrapped his arms around her.
"I believe you" he said.
"Draco, I'm sorry I got you into this. If you want to go back I won't stop you" Sadie said. Draco looked at her.
"I would never leave you" he said. He kissed her forehead.
"It's just not fair for you to be on the run like this" she said.
"If I wanted to turn back I would have, but I don't. I want to be with you" he said. Sadie smiled at him. She laid her head on his shoulder. Something made her jump. Someone was walking above them. She climbed up the ladder and listened and the trap door.
"...can't have gotten too far. How Lucius and Bellatrix were captured I'll never know" a man was saying.
"Don't worry, we'll find them" another man said. Sadie climbed down the ladder as quietly as possible.
"Death Eaters. I don't think they know we're down here" she whispered. She pulled him away from the trap door.
"If we keep quite they won't be able to find us" she whispered.
But she was wrong...
