Ahh what was I saying when I left Ganger ... Sullivan that’s going to be weird to get used to And where did blaise go, this house is a maze
“Lost Malfoy ?” the door I had gone through was the second door to the parlour Damnit Going to kill blaise for leaving me here
“Not lost just looking around” I went to go back through the door when she called “Follow me I’m about to go see mother anyway may as well return you to blaise along the way” she walked through the door past me and her smell vanilla i believe wait got to catch up with her “I’m not an object I don’t need to be returned I just need to see him before leaving your house”
She chuckled softly “No need to be so uptight Malfoy it was a joke you know the whole ha ha thing” I watched as she tucked her book under her arm an old habit she had from Hogwarts whenever she was uncomfortable “Do you always joke when your uncomfortable Granger” she stopped so suddenly that I nearly crashed into her she turned a corner after a few seconds and walked to the end door “Do not call me Granger again it is Sullivan” she opened the door and walked through
“Darling come on in come see the new painting I think this one should go in your office” We walked in and she walked over to her mother to inspect the painting I walked forward to have a glance at it before talking to blasé
“I don’t know mother I think it would go better with my wall painting in my bedroom, if you did a new one with the coat of arms with the snake wrapping around it maybe that would be more suited for my office” the painting was of her family with a boarder of a snake “You have a brother Gra-Sullivan?” she looked up from the painting at me “Yes, I thought you would of known that it was hardly kept secret he grew up with blaise and my other cousins” blaise came over “Do you remember Tobias? “ I nodded he was a little boy when I meet him and that was a year or two ago so he must only be about 9 now I shook the thoughts from my head and looked at blaise
“I need to return home soon mother wants me to have lunch with her since father is out of town”
Mrs Sullivan turned at me before blaise and I could leave
“Oh dear you must stay for lunch Clayton and his brothers always make lots, owl your mother to come it has been some time since I court up with my dear friend Narcissa” I nodded at her “Of course Mrs Sullivan”
“Please call me Paula” she turned to Hermione “Sweetie take Draco to the owlary let him use Neptune, Athena and Kaden’s owl were sending letters all night and need there rest” Hermione signed and nodded “Okay” she looked up at me “please keep up I hate back tracking in this house” She walked out of the room and blasé was about to follow “blaise I need you to help me with the next painting” Paula called out and he went back to her, great alone with her again “Malfoy hurry up!”
Once we arrived at the a door she stopped and turned to me “Do not touch anything” automatically i was intrigued as to what was behind the door “Fine” she pushed the doors open and walked to the far side of the room “You may have to wait a little bit Neptune is still out delivering my letter but he should arrive soon” glancing at the clock on the wall “Do you have some parchment and a quill?” She pointed at a desk
Dear Mother,
Mrs Sullivan has invited us to lunch at the Sullivan manor
Draco
Once I finished scribbling to mother I looked up around the room finally noticing it was a bedroom
there were many pictures and books around the room apart from one wall I stood up to have a better look at the wall as I walked over she came to stand near me “It changes everyday” she said softly I looked back up it was of her and her family but there was more people around her but faded “Why is it faded?”
“that’s because they are future people to be welcomed into my life” she walked up to the wall and pointed to a faded man next to blaise “I believe this one is you though I’m unsure why I don’t think you will stay long but it seems to becoming clearer since this morning” she looked over at the window “Neptune’s returning if you give him a minute or two to have a snack and treat he can sent your letter to your mother” she walked over to the window and the owl landed gracefully and dropped a letter in her hand “Thankyou” and he hooted softly and rubber its head on her hand and flew over to the cage in the corner
She opened the letter as she sat at the desk once finished she stood up and rubbed a few tears from her eyes “you should send your letter now, mother must be waiting for us and blaise” once I sent the letter we headed back to the courtyard room
“Wait” I grabbed her shoulder and turned her she had been silently crying as we walked I couldn’t take it anymore “Who was the letter from” She shook her head “No one you need to know about”
“But your crying Hermione what am I meant to do” she knocked my arm of her “Why do you care Malfoy!” and she ran back the way we came
If only she knew and I jogged back the way we came the door was locked when I got there “Oi! Open up!” there was no sound so I used my wand but her charms were a little harder than I thought it took a few minutes before I could break through them I pushed the door open and she was curled up on the ground under her window “Hermione?...” she sobbed into her hands “Please don’t no one’s meant to see a Sullivan like this we are stronger and I’m putting the name to shame please leave me alone” I knelt near her “No I’m not leaving you like last time” I placed my hand on her shoulder as I sat next to her.
