On Saturday, Erin was woken up by a house elf around five in the morning, telling her that Mr. Malfoy said she needed to be ready in an hour. Erin groaned as she pulled herself out of bed and walked into the adjoined bathroom. She turned on the water and stepped into the shower, letting the warm water wake her up. With a sigh, she turned off the water and quickly dried herself off before changing into a pair of black jeans and a dark green tank top, slipping a black hoodie over it. She picked up her bag that she had packed the night before and walked down to the living room where she was met by Draco, Lucius, and Narcissa.
"Good Morning." Erin said with a smile.
"Good Morning." They all returned.
"Are you two ready to go?" He asked the two young Slytherins.
"Yes Mr. Malfoy." Erin nodded.
"We will be arriving by Portkey, we first have to meet up with the Greengrasses and the Zabinis." Lucius told them.
"Where will they be?" Erin asked.
"They will be in the clearing a few feet behind our property." Lucius explained.
"Are we heading over there now then?" Erin asked.
"Yes. Sqeaky, Tobby." Lucius called. There were two cracks and two house elves appeared in front of them. "Take our things to the World cup, set up the tent and do not mess anything up."
"Yes Master." They said in unison before taking the bags and disappearing.
"We should get going." He told them before leading them out of the large house and through the backyard. A few minutes later the three of them could see people standing and waiting. Erin smiled when she could make out one of the people waiting. He was a little bit taller than her with short blonde hair and ice blue eyes.
"Mason." She smiled and ran over to him as he held out his arms to hug her. "I've missed you."
"Missed you to Erin." Mason said. When they broke apart, Erin hit him in his arm. "Damnit, what was that for?"
"Leaving me alone with Amanda." Erin told him.
"I'm sorry, Rebecca's parents invited me to stay over the summer." Mason told her.
"The portkey will leave any second. Everyone touch it." Mr. Greengrass said. Erin and Mason walked over to the brook and placed their fingers on it while Mr. Zabini counted down. When he got to one, Erin felt the familiar tugging behind her navel and found that she like everyone else was spinning around quickly. As the spinning stopped, Erin braced herself and gracefully fell to the ground with the adults and Draco while Mason, Rebecca, Daphne, and Blasie fell to the ground roughly.
"How do you always keep your balance?" Mason muttered as he stood up and helped Rebecca up.
"Because I'm special." Erin said as she helped Daphne up.
"Thanks Erin." Daphne said, dusting herself off.
"Your welcome." Erin said. After everyone got up, they walked over the hill to find thousands of tents with either Ireland colors or Bulgarian colors on it.
"Holy damn." Erin muttered looking around.
"Watch your language Erin." Mason said sternly. Erin just rolled her eyes and went back to following after Lucius. They arrived at a tent that looked very small from the outside while the Greengrasses went to the one on the left and the Zabini's went to the one on the right. They walked inside and Erin let out a gasp. The inside was huge and consisted of a kitchen, three bathrooms, a living room, and three bedrooms.
"So cool." Erin muttered.
"Erin, your room is on the left, Draco, yours in the middle." Lucius told them. Erin went into the room and found that all her belongings were already in there. Lucius led them back out of the tent where they met up with everyone else.
"How about you kids go walk around. Be back here in four hours." Mr. Zabini said.
"Alright." They all nodded and walked off in a random direction. Mason wrapped his arm around Rebecca and steered her away from the rest of the group.
"Where are they going?" Blaise asked.
"You don't wannna know." Erin and Daphne said at the same time with a small laugh. They continued going around and rolling their eyes at all the people with paint all over themselves.
"They're all acting like animals." Erin said as she looked around. They got to the middle of the field where there was a large fountain with crystal clear water.
"Erin." Draco said, tugging her arm to pull her away from Blaise and Daphne.
"Yeah Dray?" Erin said, walking away with him and stopping in front of the fountain.
"About the other night." Draco started. "Well, would you be my girlfriend?" Erin smiled and hugged him close, placing a soft kiss to his lips.
"I'll take that as a yes." Draco said. Erin smiled and nodded. "Then I want you to have this." He pulled out a necklace with the Malfoy crest with emeralds in the middle.
"It's beautiful Draco." Erin said, hugging him again. She pulled back and lifted her hair so Draco could put it around her neck. When he had it clasped, Erin let down her hair again and gave Draco another kiss. A few minutes later, they found Daphne and Blaise who instantly noticed the smiles and necklace around Erin's neck. Daphne squealed like a schoolgirl and hugged Erin, congratulating her.
Four hours later, they were all walking together through the stadium heading for the Minister's box where they were all invited to watch the game. Draco were walking hand in hand which didn't go unnoticed by anyone. As they were heading up there, Erin rolled her eyes when she found her sister with the Weasleys, Granger, and Potter.
"Oh god kill me now." Erin muttered.
"How far up are we dad?" Ron asked, sounding out of breath.
"Put it this way, if it rains, you'll be the first to know." Lucius said loud enough for them to hear. They all turned around and looked down at them.
"We're up in the Minister's Box." Draco told them with a smirk. "By personal invitation of Cornelius Fudge himself."
"Don't boast Draco." Lucius said sternly, poking him in the chest with his cane. Erin rolled her eyes as Draco rubbed the spot gently. "There's no need with these people." The Weasleys all turned the color of their hair while Erin smirked.
"Erin. Mason." Amanda said softly. Erin just rolled her eyes and moved closer to Draco while Mason pulled Rebecca closer to himself. The Gryffindor group all turned to walk away when Lucius lifted his cane, holding Harry's hand to the rail it was on.
"Do enjoy yourself while you can." Lucius said before letting his arm go and walking toward the Minister Box. Erin gave Harry a smirk before turning back to Draco and following Lucius.
When they got to the Minister Box, they found Cornelius Fudge waiting for them.
"Lucius, great to see you." Fudge said with a smile and a hand shake.
"Cornelius, great to see you too." Lucius said but Erin could here the insincerity in his voice.
"And who do you have with you?" He asked, looking at Erin.
"Erin Young sir." Erin said softly as he took her hand and kissed the back of it. She tried to suppress a shudder as she brought her hand back.
"Looks like it's time for the game to begin." Fudge said, showing them to their seats quickly before going to announce the game.
"God I don't like him." Erin muttered as she took her seat between Draco and Daphne. "He's slimier than Snape." Fudge finished his announcement and went over to sit next to Lucius who was sitting far away from Erin.
"Here come the Irish." Erin smiled as she watched the team swoop down.
"Erin, there's uncle Aidan." Mason told her. She looked up and saw her Uncle from her mother's side Aidan Lynch flying with the rest of his team.
"Now here come the Bulgarians." Daphne said as they broke up the Irish team and flew around. One particular teammate was doing dangerous stunts for the audience's entertainment.
"Could Krum be any hotter?" Erin whispered to Daphne.
"No, he's burning up as it is." Daphne whispered back and they both started giggling.
"This sucks. My Uncle against the hottest seeker in the world." Erin said, followed by Draco clearing his throat. "I mean hottest professional." Erin said, rolling her eyes at Draco with a small smile on her face.
"That was absolutely fantastic." Erin said as she, Draco, Daphne, Blaise, Rebecca, and Mason all walked around and watched everyone celebrate the Irish win.
"I can't believe that Krum caught it but the Irish still won." Daphne said smiling.
"I'm sure Uncle Aidan will be partying tonight." Erin said to Mason who nodded in agreement. There was suddenly a lot more screaming that they figured was tied to celebration at first until they saw the fire.
"Wh-What the hell's that?" Erin asked, backing away from the fire. They saw people running in their direction and as they ran, Erin could clearly see the death eaters coming toward them. "Dr-Draco." She said softly before they all started running. They started dodging people and soon Erin found herself away from them with a bunch of people running around her. As she ran, she fell over someone who was already lying on the ground, Harry.
"Potter, what the hell." Erin complained as she moved to get up.
"Erin." He said, looking past her. Erin turned and saw the foot a second before it came into contact with her head, knocking her out.
When Erin regained consciousness, she saw Harry lying beside her with a nasty bump on his head.
"Potter." She said, shaking his arm. "Potter, wake up." Harry's eyes opened and he looked over at her.
"Young?" Harry asked.
"No shit golden boy." Erin said rolling her eyes and standing up. She looked around and saw that all the tents were burned down.
"What the hell happened?" Harry asked, standing up.
"The death eaters, what do you think." Erin answered sarcastically.
"You mean Draco's father?" Harry asked. "Is Draco part of them too? What about your father?" Erin turned to glare at him.
"My father is not a death eater. He does not support Voldemort and neither does Draco so do not talk about shit that you know nothing about." Erin said as her eyes turned black and red sparks emitted around her fingertips.
"What the hell are you doing?" Harry asked, looking at her. They both heard someone shout a spell and turned to see a man standing a long distance away with a wand pointed at the sky. Erin looked up and saw the dark mark glowing a sickening green high in the sky.
"Harry. Harry." Erin heard someone calling. The sparks stopped and her eyes returned to their normal ice blue as she turned around to see Ron and Hermione running over to him.
"Young, what are you doing here?" Ron asked. "Aren't you supposed to be with the death eaters?" Erin moved closer to him when she heard a few voices yell and ducked to the ground, just missing being hit by the red beams.
"Stop, that's my son!" Erin turned to see Arthur Weasley running over to Ron, Hermione, and Harry. "Ms. Young, what are you doing here?"
"I was walking around with my brother and my friends when all this started and we got separated. I was knocked out and then I woke up a few minutes ago." Erin explained.
"Erin!" Mason yelled, running over to her. When he reached her, he turned her head to the side to look at the cut she got before she was knocked out and the blood that had fell from it and down her cheek.
"I'm fine Mason." Erin told him, moving away from his touch.
"Erin." Mason said in an 'I don't believe you' tone.
"I'm serious. Where is everyone?" Erin asked.
"They're by the edge of the forest. We all ran in there before we noticed you were gone." Mason explained.
"Can we go find them then, I wanna get out of here." Erin said.
"Not so fast." Barty Crouch said, walking over to them. "Why did you conjure that?"
"I didn't conjure the dark mark." Erin told him.
"You must've, you were the only one here." He told her.
"My sister said she didn't do anything." Mason said, standing protectively in front of her.
"So because I'm Slytherin, you assume it was me?" Erin asked angrily.
"She didn't do it." Harry spoke up. "There was a man, he took off over there." All the men who had fired spells at them ran off in the direction Harry pointed them in.
"Come on, we should get out of here." Mason said, putting his arm around Erin comfortingly and leading her away from them. She looked back at Harry who gave her a small smile before turning back around as Mason led her to the edge of the forest where everyone was waiting.
"Erin." Draco said, running over to her and looking at the cut and blood on the side of her face.
"I'm fine, I just fell." Erin told him as Draco pulled her into a hug.
"I was scared something happened." Draco told her. Something felt weird, Draco never showed emotion around anyone but Erin. Now he was showing it to everyone around.
"I think you've all had enough excitement for one day." Lucius said walking over to them along with Mr. Zabini and Mr. Greengrass. "Erin, what happened?"
"I fell." Erin answered, pulling away from Draco and slipped her hand into his.
"Well that doesn't look too bad. It should head itself in a day or so." Lucius said, pulling out the portkey from earlier that day. They all put their hands on it and in a few seconds they were spinning around and back in the clearing from that morning. This time Erin hadn't been able to keep her balance and fell with all the other teens.
"You alright?" Mason asked, standing up and helping her up.
"Yeah." Erin nodded. "I'll see you on the train." With that, Erin left with the Malfoys back to Malfoy Mansion. When they walked in the front door, Lucius told Draco and Erin to get to bed before disappearing up the stairs. Draco and Erin walked up the stairs toward their rooms when Erin pulled Draco with her into her room and closed the door behind them.
"Draco." Erin said softly, biting her lip.
"What is it?" Draco asked.
"Your dad. Did he have something to do with tonight?" Erin asked.
"Erin, my dad is a very respectable per…" Draco started.
"Did he have something to do with it?" Erin asked again, cutting him off. "Did you know about it?"
"I had my suspicions when my father told us all to leave, except for Daphne's father and Blaise's dad. They were both death eaters years ago as was my father." Draco explained.
"Then he did do it." Erin muttered.
"He only did it to show that mud…" Draco was cut off again.
"He's killing purebloods too Draco!" Erin said as tears slipped down her face. "All those years ago when he was still in power, death eaters killed my mother." Draco looked at her with a shocked expression on his face. Erin never told anyone that.
"What?" Draco asked.
"My mother wouldn't support Voldemort so he had the death eaters kill her." Erin said, crying harder now. Her legs almost gave out but Draco quickly helped her keep her balance and helped her to lay on her bed. "They killed her because she didn't want thousands of people to die, even if they were just muggles or muggleborns." Draco laid down beside her and wrapped his arms around her as she cried herself to sleep. Even after she was asleep, he continued to hold her until he too fell asleep.
There's chapter 2. Good, bad, suggestions.
