Virginia let the two men leave and then she closed the door in anger. Stupid Mother how the hell did she get caught. She cried as she read the letter over and over. Give me a chance she screamed. Why cant you all give me a chance. Im not like her...I would never kill anyone.
She burried her head in her arms and cried up against the door. A figure touched her and she jumped.
" Draco What are you doing here?
" I heard the news. I had to come."
" You shoudn't be here. There are Aurors everywhere looking for you..."
" I know. But I thought you might be upset. I thought you might do something stupid."
Virginia laughed. " Thats what I have been thinking about you."
He took her hand and helped her of the ground. " You need some rest."
" I couldn't possibly. I must wait here until I get word from Azkaban."
" You sound like my Mother."
" I dont mean to. It makes me wonder about my childhood. Growing up how fun it could have been. It makes me wonder why mine had to be so short. Every since Dad died. I've been Mothers little scape goat. Making all the excuses , enduring all the press , all the taunts and now I will taunted forever at Hogwarts."
" No you wont. Crabbe , Goyle , and Pansy will care for you. They like you and hey Zabinee told me the last day. He thinks your really good looking."
Virginia sighed. And if I'm not in Slytherin."
Draco laughed. " Not in Slytherin. Look at your past."
" Dad was in Gryfindor."
Draco's jaw dropped. " You dont think..."
" I hope I'm not in Slytherin."
" Virginia did you hit your head or something?"
" I hope I'm in any house but Slytherin. I want to make my Dad proud of me. I want him to see that I am a good daughter and people to see Virginia Keller , not Belletrix's Lestranges daughter."
" Your Father..."
" I know he liked Mudbloods Draco."
" I was going to say he loved you."
Virginia sighed. " Sorry. Hey how do you know that."
" I heard Mother talking to Aunt Bella a few weeks ago. She was telling..."
" Yes go on..."
" She was telling your Mother that she better start showing you a bit of love soon or you would turn into a right mudblood lover. She said your Father absoutlutly adored you and for that you never stopped loving him."
Virginia laughed. " I'm not surprised. Typical Mother."
" Slytherin is your past?"
" Maybe " said Virginia. " But in my future."
Draco sighed. " Since when did we have a choice of our futures Virginia? Do you really think we can escape our past?"
" Since when Draco have we acted upon our futures? If they cant give us what we want , we take what we want. I would have thought a pure blood Slytherin such as yourself would have known that."
" You are mocking me."
" No " said Virginia. " I'm just speaking the truth."
" You heard about your Mother then?"
" Who hasn't?"
" I'm sorry."
Virginia turned her eyes flashed strangely. " I'm not."
