"It's safe?" Draco cleared his throat

"I'm not sure anywhere is safe anymore, but this is our best bet...we're going to be okay" Emerson sighed

She laid down a book on the table.

"Everyone grab on at the same time" Emerson demanded

"One...two..."

"Let's leave this piece of shit" Milo scoffed, placing his hand above the book

"Three!"

We all grabbed the book as a bright light consumed us. It whirled us around and around until we finally fell face first on the ground.

"Did it work?" I groaned, picking myself up from the ground

"Emerson? Blaise?" Someone spoke from the corner

"I'm guessing so..." Pansy scoffed as an old woman came towards us with her arms outstretched

"Eloise!" Emerson ran and hugged the old woman

"What are you doing here?" The woman asked

"We need a place to stay for tonight...but you can't tell a soul you seen us...especially mum and dad. Got it?"

"it's not illegal is it?"

"not completely illegal..." Blaise hugged her

"mhm...then your secret is safe with me" she winked

"Follow me I'll get you some rooms" she smiled and began walking up the stairs

"Eloise said they haven't had much business so if the records show more rooms than usual, it might look suspicious" Emerson sat her stuff down on one of the beds.

"it might be fun, we haven't shared a room since first year" pansy sat down next to me

"it seems like it was yesterday" i scoffed

"do you think the boys will be able to handle sharing a room?" river laughed

"we might find them dead in the morning" Emerson added

"less of a load we have to haul with us" i laughed

a knock at the door interrupted our laughter

"yes?" River opened the door

Blaise and Milo stood at the door.

"we would like to escort our ladies to the ballroom down stairs" Milo smirked

"oooh a ballroom, how fancy" pansy took blaise's hand and twirled down the hall.

"i'll take two please" milo smirked, holding his hands out to Emerson and River

"oh...i was thinking i could go with emerson" river teased, throwing her arm around Emerson's waist

"even better" milo squeezed in between them both

"you're disgusting" emerson scoffed, shoving him down the hall.
