Author's Note

Sorry that it's taking me this long to write this chapter. It turned out longer than I wanted it to be. I enjoyed writing it. Hope you guys will enjoy reading it.

Chapter 13

"It's Christmas Eve!" I said happily walking into the Great Hall for breakfast.

"We were just told that you're not allowed to leave Hogwarts." Is called to me.

I walked over to her and Aza. "Doesn't mean I'm not going to spend time with Draco."

"You're going to sneak out?" Aza asked interested.

"Yes. After I kidnap Andy. You're guys are welcome to join." I answered smiling. "Just don't tell grandpa Dumbly."

"How are you going to kidnap Andy?" Is asked curious.

"You guys are going to help me." I answered smiling.

"How?" Is asked.

Aza and I just smiled. Is looked between us then shook her head.

"Yes." Aza and I said.

"No." Is replied taking a step back.

"You have to." Aza replied back.

"You'll get six chocolate candy bars if you do it." I commented.

Is thought about it and sighed. "They better be six big chocolate candy bars."

Is left to get Andy, while Aza and I came up with a plan to get out and back to Hogwarts.

"What are you two plotting?" Grandpa Dumbly asked.

"Nothing." Aza and I said at the same time.

"Come on. What are you plotting?" Grandpa Dumbly asked again.

"How to win a snowball fight against Andy." Aza lied smiling.

"Ah, good luck." Grandpa Dumbly replied smiling back.

Grandpa Dumbly then walked away. Aza and I sighed in relief.

"We better go before he comes back." I commented.

Aza nodded in agreement. They both got up and headed for the front door. I saw Is and headed over with Aza following.

"What do you two want? I got out of bed for this, so it better be good." Andy asked when he saw us walking over.

"You're coming with us." I answered smiling.

"We've got to get going before grandpa Dumbly shows up." Aza replied heading out the front door.

"What!" Andy called after.

I followed Aza while Is pushed Andy put the front door.

"We're going on a field trip." I told him still smiling.

"A field trip? You're such a liar." Andy replied. "What's really going on?"

"We're going to go spend time with the Malfoy family." Is answered still pushing Andy.

Andy moved away from Is and stopped. "You're funny. We're not going because Bell is restricted to the grounds and I don't want to go anywhere near Draco's dad."

"I don't need you to come with. Besides you don't have a choice, especially since you were told to keep an eye on me and Aza." I commented smiling.

"Fine, but I so hate you." Andy replied following us off the grounds.

After a few hours of riding buses and a train, we all showed up at the Malfoy home. Mrs. Malfoy was already on the front porch. We walked up to her, me smiling.

"You're here! I thought you all got kidnapped or lost." Mrs. Malfoy exclaimed hugging me. "You did bring everyone you said that you would."

"Yes I did." I replied beaming.

I quickly introduced everyone to Mrs. Malfoy, who insisted that everyone call her Narcissa. Narcissa hurried us all in and gave us a tour of her home. We found Draco in his room asleep. We ended out tour in the dinning room, where there was hot chocolate and breakfast. Narcissa left us to eat. Five minutes later, she returned with a very sleepy Draco behind her.

"Morning Draco." I spoke cheerily.

Draco stopped and looked at me. We all waited for him to realize that I was actually here.

"You know that it's rude to stare." Aza stated.

Draco made the connection. "You're here!" He happily exclaimed.

"Yah, we're all here." Andy replied grumpily.

"Andy, light up. Lucius isn't here." I commented.

"How do you know?" Andy asked.

"I don't sense him in the house." I answered. "Now relax."

Draco took his seat and Andy actually began to eat breakfast.

"Where is Lucius?" Is asked.

I shrugged and continued eating.

"He's out getting stuff for tonight. Are you staying that long?" Narcissa asked.

"You're stuck with us until ten. If it's all right that we use a fireplace to get back." I answered smiling.

"Perfectly fine with me." Narcissa cheerfully replied.

An hour later, we all headed outside.

"You've never had a snowball fight?" Aza replied shockingly.

"Why are you surprised? He's an only child." Andy commented.

Aza grinned mischievously. "Just stand there."

She scooped up a handful of snow and shoved it in Draco's face. Is, Andy, and I laughed then we ran in different directions. Aza laughed then did the same, while Draco stood there shocked and wiping the snow off his face. The snowball war had begun.

"Why are you guys ganging up on me?" Draco asked frustrated.

"You're an easy target Draco." Is answered before she threw a snowball at him.

"Would you like some advice?" I asked throwing a snowball at Andy then moving away.

"Sure." Draco answered throwing a snowball at Aza and missing.

"No helping." Andy stated.

"It's only fair since we've done this longer." Aza replied.

"Fine, but you're only giving one." Andy commented.

"Throw a snowball and move. Don't just stand there." I replied throwing another snowball at the back of Andy's head.

"HEY!" Andy called turning around.

I stuck out my tongue then ran. Andy threw a snowball and missed. Draco on the other hand actually hit me with a snowball. After a while, Draco was getting good. That's when I called it quits. Is followed me, while the others continued the snowball war. Is and I walked a little ways.

"Snow angels?" I asked stopping.

Is stopped and smiled. "Snow angels."

We both fell backwards and began to make two snow angels. Snow began to fall.

"Hey!" Draco called holding up his hands.

"What?" Andy asked throwing a snowball at Aza.

"Aren't we missing two people?" Draco asked back.

"They're out here somewhere." Aza answered throwing a snowball at Andy.

Andy looked around. "I don't see them."

"They're fine. You worry too much." Aza commented looking around herself.

"Draco!" Lucius yelled from the house.

"I take that back. You can start worrying now." Aza stated looking towards the direction of the house.

Is and I popped up out of the snow, like daisies.

"He's not that bad looking." Is stated smiling.

"You do know that is Draco's dad, right?" I asked turning and looking at her.

"I know, which is why I said, 'not that bad looking'." Is answered smiling.

"I guess we better get inside." I responded getting off the cold snowy ground.

Everyone followed Draco inside. Andy was about to freak out.

"Andy, we don't have to stay. If you want to leave, we can leave." I spoke glancing at him.

"Whatever you say." Andy responded unsure.

"Nothing is going to happen." I replied back trying to re-insure him.

Andy still looked unsure and I sighed. We walked into the living room.

"I thought you guys were having fun outside?" Narcissa asked finishing up on hanging some decorations.

"We were until Lucius came home." Aza answered as Lucius walked in.

"Why are they here?" Lucius asked ignoring us.

"Our son invited them. Now, be civil." Narcissa answered.

Lucius just glared at us before leaving the room.

"Great first impression." I called after him.

Andy hit my arm and gave me the 'don't' look. Lucius walked back in.

"What did you say?" Lucius asked.

"I said, 'Great first impression.' Why?" I asked back smiling.

After a moment Lucius asked, "Are you Rinoa's daughter?"

"Yes." I answered firmly.

Lucius nodded then left the room again. We all were confused.

"What was that about?" Draco asked.

"I don't know. He's your dad." I answered shrugging. "Would you like some help?"

"No, you guys go back to having fun." Narcissa answered.

"How can we? Lucius is here." I asked.

"Nice try, but didn't work." Narcissa answered.

"I know. I just had to try." I replied back.

Narcissa went back to setting up and we just followed Draco to what appeared to be a game room. We stayed in there until Lucius showed up. Andy had just finally relaxed.

"Is there something that you need?" I asked looking over to Is and Aza.

"I was told to let you all know that the party will be starting in a few minutes. For my son, it's mandatory." Lucius answered.

"I don't believe I was talking to you." I replied back looking at him.

Lucius shook his head. "Just like your mother."

"I gotta be like one of my parents." I responded smiling.

Lucius nodded then left. I shrugged and turned my attention back to Is and Aza.

"We're good." They both said.

"All right. You're dad is weird." I replied back.

"I don't know what to say to that." Draco honestly replied. "I better go. He'll just come back in here and forcefully remove me from the room."

"We'll go with you." Is responded.

Andy stared at her, shocked.

"At least for a little while." Aza shrugged.

"Have all of you gone crazy?" Andy asked still shocked.

"Yes, we have. You should join us." Is laughed.

Aza and I joined in on the laughter, but Andy looked like he wanted to run from the property. Draco just shrugged it off and left the room.

"I told you earlier that we could leave whenever you want. You haven't taken me up on it. We can leave whenever we want. Now, behavior. We're just going to socialize for like an hour, then we can leave if you want." I spoke before I headed out.

Andy sighed. "Can't leave her alone. Let's go."

About an hour later, we had gotten to know a lot of pervious death eaters. We didn't really know how many were still death eaters, but probably all of them.

"I would like to go home now." Andy said grabbing my arm.

"All right. Just let me get some food for the road first." I replied taking my arm back. "Breathe. Air is good for you."

"Ha ha." Andy replied.

I grabbed Is and Aza on my way to the food table. "Andy wants to go. Are you guys cool with going now?"

"We don't really have a choice. We all know that he's going to throw a fit or run from the house if we choose to stay a little bit longer. You go say bye and we'll meet you be the front door." Is answered as I grabbed me some food and started eating it.

I nodded. Is went to go find Andy and Aza grabbed some food too.

"You guys going to go?" Draco asked coming up to us.

"Yes. We're all tired." Aza answered since I had food in my mouth.

"Okay. Thanks for coming." Draco responded smiling.

"Your welcome. I had fun." I replied back smiling. "Maybe next time you'll come and hang out with my family. See what it's like to be around normal people."

Draco laughed. "Maybe."

"Well, we'll see you later." Aza replied heading over to the front door.

"Where's your mom?" I asked.

"Over there by my father." Draco answered pointing to the other side of the room.

I finished my food. "Thanks."

I walked over and Draco followed.

"Excuse me, sorry to bother you. Narcissa, we're leaving." I interrupted shyly.

"All right. Please excuse us." Narcissa replied walking over to me and Draco.

We then headed over to the front door.

"Follow." Narcissa stated heading into different room.

"Fireplace." Andy stated. "How are we going to get Hogwarts using the fireplace?"

"You just say a place close to Hogwarts and we'll walk the rest of the way." I answered sarcastically.

Andy hit my arm. "You clearly didn't think this through."

I rubbed my arm. "I actually did. We're going to hogsmeade."

"You've never been to hogsmeade." Andy pointed out.

"I know that, but you and Is have. We'll be fine." I replied back. "Just trust me."

"Fine." Andy sighed.

"Okay. Just step into the fireplace with floo powder, then say the place you want to go. Remember to say the place clearly or you'll end up somewhere you don't want to be." Narcissa explained. "Oh, You want to drop the floo power on the floor of the fireplace."

"Okay. Let's do this." Aza spoke pushing Andy forward. "You first bro."

"Ha ha, no." Andy replied.

"I'll go." Is happily replied taking was floo powder and getting into the fireplace. "See you guys on the other side. Hogsmeade."

With that, Is was gone. We all followed her, saying goodbye to Draco and Narcissa. Once all of us were at hogsmeade, we started our walk home.

"You so like him." Is teased me.

"No, he's just being kind. Which is completely out of his normal self." I responded.

"I'm killing him." Andy stated walking fast to Hogwarts.

"You're not going to kill him, unless you want everyone around you to die." I replied back. "I personally don't want to die."

"Then he better stay away from you." Andy replied glancing back at me.

"Stop being so protective Andy." Aza commented pushing him forward.

Andy turned around and stick out his tongue. We all laughed then made it to the grounds, where we were met by grandpa Dumbly and Flich along with the heads of our Houses.

"Hi everybody." I said as we walked up.

"Where have you guys been?" Grandpa Dumbly asked.

"We were at the Malfoys." I answered grinning.

"Bell, you not allowed off school grounds." Grandpa Dumbly reminded me.

"I know. Which is why I'm the only one getting in trouble." I responded back still grinning.

"That's where you're wrong." Snape butted in.

"No, I'm right Professor Snape. Headmaster Dumbledore knew where they were. I know this because I left him a note on his desk explaining where they were. I just left me out of it." I snapped.

"Andrew, Aza, Isabelle go with the head of your Houses. Goodnight. Bell, you're coming with me." Grandpa Dumbly ordered.

We all followed his orders. Once grandpa Dumbly, Professor McGonagall, and I were in his office, the real fireworks began.

"Do you have any idea how much trouble you are in young lady?" Grandpa Dumbly yelled.

"Is it enough to get me expelled from Hogwarts?" I calmly asked back.

"Pretty close." Grandpa Dumbly replied putting his hand on his forehead.

"Damn." I murmured.

"You were trying to get expelled?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Yes. The reason being is because I don't want to be here when you-know-who decides to go after the sorcerer's stone." I answered.

Grandpa Dumbly sighed. "Fifteen points will be taken from Gryffindor and you young lady are not allowed out of this school. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore." I answered.

"Professor McGonagall, please escort Miss Rigoletto to her House." Grandpa Dumbly asked.

Professor McGonagall nodded and escorted me to our House.

"Go straight to bed." Professor McGonagall told me.

"Yes, Professor McGonagall." I replied heading straight for bed.
