"Yes." I said.

At A Police Station
"Your a minor which means you will be sent to foster care until you find a guardian."

We knew this would happen.
But Narcissa promised she would work her way around it.

"Actually she'll be staying with me for as long as she needs." Said Narcissa.

"I'm sorry Miss that's not how it works."
"Come with me for a moment." Said Narcissa.

They walked off somewhere.

"She's gonna pay loads of money to allow you to stay with us without signing papers.
There's no way you would be allowed to stay with us with my fathers criminal record."
Said Draco.

Narcissa walked back.
"It's all sorted let's go." She said.

"I wanna go to my house now and get it over with." I said.

"Are you sure?" Asked Draco.
I nodded.

We apparated to my house and I teared up.
This is one of the hardest things I'll have to do.

I opened the front door and the scent of home filled me up.

I felt a sense of comfort and lost it.

I walked through my house and bawled.
I entered my living room.

Above the fire place was a picture of my mother, father and I.

"Can you grab that for me?" I asked Mattheo.
I was too short to reach it.

I stared at the picture and millions of memories filled my mind.
I closed my eyes and let the memories play.

I watched as tears dripped down the glass of the frame.

"This was my mom." I said showing Draco and Mattheo.

"I see where you get your beauty from."
Said Draco.

He wrapped his arms around me and leaned against my shoulder.

Draco's touch always helped me relax.

"We would set the Christmas tree up there every year.
My dad only wanted to decorate the front since the back wasn't showing.
My mother and I would laugh at him."
I said smiling at the memory.

"I agree with your dad. Why bother decorating it if no one's gonna see the back."
Said Mattheo.

I let out a little giggle.

I then walked over to the kitchen.
"I would always sit here.
Every time we ate together this was my spot at the table." I said.

We didn't have much in the kitchen so I went to the next room.

I opened the door to my parents room and lost it again.

My parents room was filled with pictures on the walls and I saw their faces everywhere I looked.

"I c-can't do this."
I sat on the floor and sobbed into my arms.

Draco pulled me towards him and let my head rest on his shoulder.

"I know this is hard darling but your doing so good."

He rested his chin on my head and let me sob.

I then stood up and lied on my parents bed.
I put the pillows around me and closed my eyes.

When I was a kid I would love laying in between them.
So I pretended I was a kid again.

I hugged a pillow and acted as if it was my mother.
