"Kid's we're going out now so get your shoes on!" Ron gave me a look that suggested that he didn't want to see his former enemy.
"You can't be serious!"
"Yes I am, so HURRY UP!" The two bundles of joy ran straight down the stairs and out the door. We stepped out the door and with a flick of the wand, I locked the door.
"Ok, Rosie hold onto your dad, and Hugo, keep hold of me." I gave Ron an 'If you don't turn up at Malfoy Manor then I'll kill you' look and then, we spun on the spot, heading towards the Manor.
Chapter 8
The cold air hit me. I recognised the long pathway leading to the house surrounded by the tall evergreens and the heavily warded iron gate with the letter M twisted in the middle. An loud snap was heard beside me and Hugo jumped into my arms. Ron and Rose came up and gave us a hug. Then we all held hands whilst I went to touch the gate. It raised the attention of a house elf who answered.
"Hello Miss! Can Twinky help?"
"Hello Twinky, can we come in and see Ms Malfoy?" The small house elf opened the gates and walked us up the door. She clicked her fingers and the key to the house landed in her hand from the sky. She put the key into the lock and twisted it. After that all you could hear was non stop clicks unlocking the door. A minute later, she pushed the heavy oak door into a completely transformed manor which I couldn't remember. The images from my last visit did not relate to the sight in front of me. I stepped forward and then suddenly flinched. The floor underneath me had a ward which prevented something to do with my feet.
"Shoes off or mistress become unhappy. You stay here. Twinky get young master." I slowly took off my shoes and stepped onto the cream carpet layering the floor. I instantly thought that she must have a ward to stop people stepping on the carpet whilst they had shoes on. I made a mental note to ask her how she cast that ward. Suddenly there was a small creak from the far left door and a young, platinum haired boy wpopped his head from outside the door.
"Hello! Who are you then?"
"I'm Scorpius Malfoy, Ma'am. Why are you here?" I'd have to admit, the little boy was sweet and adorable. Then I heard footsteps. Much louder footsteps than Scorpius' footsteps. Then I heard a voice that I thought that I'd never hear ever again.
"Hello Granger, how can I help?" I suddenly leapt out of my skin and turned with a smile plastered onto my face.
"I was wondering if I could speak to your mother. I have some questions for her about my accident."
"Your 'Accident' was no accident. Maybe I could answer your questions seeming as I was the one who left the note."
"You were the one who left the note? But why did you leave it under your mother's initials?"
"I suggest you come into my office. Alone. Unless your weasel of a husband wants to hear the worst things ever." Ron suddenly turned me round, put on a serious face and askeda very serious question.
"Are you sure you want to go in alone?" I gave him a very solid but quick nod whilst Malfoy lead me to his office.
