Virginia arrived home early. She went into her room and sat down.
" Dont cry " she said loudly. " I cant cry. I wont."
The doorbell rang. Virginia stirred. " Please dont let it be any reporters."
She opened it. " Draco " she cried.
" Virginia can I come in?"
" Yeah sure." She let him in. He walked into the living room and sat down.
" So how have you been?"
" I've been fine Draco. But I feel that is not the reason that you have come here to talk to me."
He smiled. " You were always the smart one Virginia. I must give you credit for that."
Virginia didn't respond. She folded her arms across her lap and sat down.
" My Mother has left."
" Yes I know and I must say I am surprised that you have not gone with her."
Draco looked astonished. " Have you not read the papers?"
Virginia laughed. " I refuse to read any paper. All they do is print lies about me."
" I have been cleared of all charges. I am free to go back to Hogwarts."
" That's great " said Virginia with a very covincing lack of interest.
" I must say I am shocked " said Draco. " I expected you to be a little bit more excited."
" No " said Virginia. " Draco I am really happy for you."
He smiled. " Thank you."
" At least our lives are both back on track " said Virginia.
" Yes " said Draco. " And now I can go back to Hogwarts stronger than ever and so can you."
" Excuse me? "
" Yes Virginia. Dont you see. Now the power of the Dark Lord has risen and we as his young supporters can follow in our parents footsteps."
Virginia looked in disbelief.
" Dont you see Virginia. We won...they fell for it...they believed us."
Virginia shook her head. " I dont understand."
" We got away with it " said Draco. " I helped killed an innocent person and I got away with it. Doesn't it feel good."
Virginia stared in horror as she began to see her cousin in a different light.
" Virginia are you okay? Can you hear me?"
" That wasn't my point " said Virginia.
" Sorry I dont follow."
" I thought you wanted to change...I thought you wanted to start again."
Draco laughed. " Start what?"
" A new life. I thought you wanted to be in control of your own life."
" I do and the Dark Lord can help me achieve that."
Virginia jumped up. " Get out " she cried.
" What?"
"I said get out Draco."
" Virginia what the hell are you doing...this is crazy..."
" Leave now " she screamed.
" Virginia I dont understand."
" I believed in you Draco. I thought you wanted to stop this madness this hatred against people we dont know."
" Virginia is your head screwed up?"
She slammed the door in his face.
" You always let me down " she screamed. " All of you do. You always let me down."
Hey guys. Thanks a million for all the reviews. I thought I would mention that I have another 6 chapters done...so I definatly will be continueing the story onto Hogwarts. Also for the time from the 7th June 06 - 16th June , my updates will be scattered and thats because the exams I have been dreading for three years have finally arrived and I have them everyday until the 16th. That's my Junior Cert exams for those who dont know it and I am terrified so I have a lot of study to do.But at least all the girls like me in my school finish before the boys so thats good. Junior Cert is the same as the GCSE's in Britain and the Leaving cert which I will do in two years is like the SAT's in America I think. Sorry if I got the names wrong. I am clueless about other countries education systems.
So durring that week. I will be posting my updates in the evenings around six but it's Irish time for me , so it will be different times for everyone else. I'll try to update another chapter today but I cant promise anything as I have to finish my Home Economics project. Thanks again. Raemie.
