A Malfoy named Weasley
Chapter 4, The Truth, well kind of not, but for now it is.
There was a very awkward silence. Nobody knew what to say, either that or they didn't want to break the silence. Laura had one question burning in her head she had to ask it.
"Why did they want me dead?" Laura asked. Her voice was barely above a whisper.
"There was a prophecy about you." Draco slowly answered. Ron was just standing there; he couldn't even get over the fact that Laura was a Malfoy, a Malfoy named Weasley.
"It said born on the 21st of August to a side a girl will be born. She will have powers; they could help the side opposite her born only if she is placed in the right place where she will grow up opposite her parentage." Draco recited from memory. Laura let the thought sink in before she realized what it meant.
"What kind of powers?" Laura questioned. Draco shrugged.
"So is their any reason you're here?" Harry asked Draco. Draco sighed.
"They know the death eaters. They want her dead." He replied. Laura started to get nervous, she didn't want it to be true their was no way it could. Laura wanted to go back to being Laura Weasley, end of story. Yet, in the matter of minutes she was a whole new person, a person who was supposed to do something important. Laura could barley light up a room with her wand, nerveless kill a guy.
"They want to, to." Laura couldn't even finish her sentence.
"If she stays here she'll be dead by Friday." Ron confirmed. They all knew the burrow wasn't hidden at all; it didn't take a genius to find them.
"We should talk to your Mum." Harry decided. So they went to see Mrs. Weasley.
Mrs. Weasley was terrified for her daughter. When it came to lives she believed every word anyone would say. She had no reason to believe Draco would do harm, it was his sister after all. She kept crying and hugging Laura, to hard for her well being. And well, Laura seemed pale.
"She should leave the country." Draco advised.
"You can't just send a twelve year old to a new country alone." Mrs. Weasley replied.
"I'll take her, we'll go to America." Draco countered. It was quiet as everyone thought.
"I suppose if it's for her well being." Ron admitted. He still wasn't keen on it, but if it was the only way.
"I think we have too." Mrs. Weasley confirmed. I don't think anyone knew why all the sudden they trusted him with their sister/daughter. Even though Draco Malfoy was certain to become a death eater when Ron and Harry were at school. Or maybe it was because it was really his sister, or at least that was what he said.
"When are we going to leave?" Laura asked. She didn't want to go, but she supposed it her life depended on it. Draco thought a long time, a very long time.
"We leave tomorrow so pack your bags." He decided. Laura hugged her mother tightly before running upstairs to pack as it was nearing nine. That night nobody in the burrow slept well, not a single person. And as if only moments later it was morning. Laura ate her eggs very slowly. She didn't want to leave for a new country with a man she just met. But in order to survive she had to.
"Ready?" Draco asked. The clock had just struck 9 and everything was ready to go. Laura sighed, hugged everyone tightly. She just looked around before smiling sadly and walking out the door. Then Draco did the unexpected, he grabber her arm and put his wand to a mark on his arm. The two disappeared to a place only known to Draco.
