Chapter 57

Saturday has gone by and many weeks have also fled, by means, it was the season of Autumn, and Draco barely showed himself to me, let alone speak to me.

It was really hard, especially when I wanted to tell him that I'm not going to leave him, but it was too dim to happen, for I knew he wouldn't listen to me and will choose to believe his own thoughts.

All I did for those weeks are to get to the library, read some books, and stay in my room alone, painting or whatever things I did to make myself busy. Of course, Michael was there to help cheer me up. He always does.

I was in the library, reading a book and hiding from all the people due to the fact that I didn't want to be disturbed.

The scorching sun went through the window, illuminating the library and making the silver made things shine and gleam.

My eyes glanced through the window, looking at the tangerine and auburn-coloured leaves on the trees. It was beautiful, and the sun has hidden to its hiding, slowly, until the skies are grey and gloomy.

Then I heard the door creaked open.

"Y/n? Are you here?" Michael's voice echoed to the library.

I stood up from the chair and went out from behind the shelves.

"Hi," I smiled, making my way to him.

"Ah, there you are," he grinned, his dimple was showing. "Aunt Narcissa wants to talk to us in the Morning Room."

"Oh, off we go then," I chuckled lightly.

We made our way to the Morning Room, where my mother-in-law usually spend her days, not only in the living room.

I was curious about what she wanted to speak with us, and what if— what if Draco has told— No, he wouldn't.

As we arrived at the front door, Michael knocked on it, letting my mother-in-law know that we have arrived.

Michael opened the door and we entered the Morning Room. But my eyes were immediately settled upon the blond boy, who I wished to see, sitting on the couch and his back was facing me.

"Y/n, Michael! There you are." My mother-in-law exclaimed, causing Draco to turn his head and look at us.

His eyes were again ranged with fire and his jaw clenched, only looking at Michael, not me.

This young man really has issues.

"Come and take a seat." She motioned her hand to the couch.

I took a seat across Draco and next to my mother-in-law while Michael sat down beside him. And of course, I knew for sure that Draco was glad that Michael didn't sit beside me.

"I have news to tell," she sighed, feeling uncertain about what she is going to tell us. "School year is yet to start on the first week of September, that is to happen in the next two weeks...However," She took a pause for a moment. "The three of you are not to return for your 7th year."

"What?" I uttered, not believing what she had just told us.

"I'm sorry dear, but you are not going to return to Hogwarts this year." She told, placing her hand on the top of mine that was placed on my lap. "This year is not going to be good as before...it has been..."

Her voice turned faint into my ears as I caught Draco's eyes, staring at me with his tongue, pressing the inside of his cheek, giving his cheek a tiny bump.

I don't know why, but seeing him like this gave me this tingling sensation inside my stomach.

"Y/n, dear, are you alright?" I felt my mother-in-law's hand on my shoulder.
