When we pulled up at Hogwarts my mind swam on why Draco tried so hard to deny that he was not okay, and yet when he left, Blaise ended up frowning, mumbling stuff, under his breath. "Zabini what is happening with Malfoy?" Ginny spoke. He tensed and said that it didn't matter but slowly as we walked to the castle he finally cracked. "Draco's dad escaped Azkaban!" Me and Ginny gasped. "He may come to Hogwarts." I spoke. Blaise nodded and it was then we heard laughter behind us. "Wow the mudblood is really the brightest witch of her age." Blaise pulled me and Ginny behind him. "Don't..." Before he could finish Narcissa appeared crazy like her sister. "Run." Blaise whispered before we all turned around and ran, pulling each other along.

Thud!

We collided into Draco and as we saw them coming we scrambled up. We ran but Draco never unfroze, so I ran back and grabbed his hand. We ran into the great hall and the first years parted way. "Come on we only want to talk to Draco." They spoke. I moved Draco behind us and drew my wand, Blaise and Ginny did the same. "I'd rather die then let you break him even more!" Blaise spoke. Lucius chuckled darkly and Abraxas ran in with Elizabeth. "Hello dear brother." Abraxas sneered and walked towards us. "Leave!" Lucius stepped with his crazy wife and Mr Wesley ran in with ministry officials.

"Incarcerous!"

Ropes wrapped around their ankles and wrists and they collapsed to the floor. But I was thankful when they were taken away.
Slowly we placed our wands away and turned to Draco. He looked straight ahead his emotions hidden in his eyes, but as his aunt moved his hair, why whispering words I saw a tear slip down his face.
They soothed him and when he relaxed they said goodbye and asked us to look out for him, me and Ginny agreed and when they left, Dumbledore announced their was no houses for this evening and Blaise and Draco sat besides us. Ron was about to protest but Ginny cut him off. "Ron stop, they saved our lives show some respect." Harry spoke. Ron grumbled and stood up walking to Lavender while Pavarti sat by Harry talking to us, just as Theo and Luna came.

All but Draco talked but I did see him smile slightly as we talked. By the end of desserts we chuckled at the first years complaints on how stuffed they were. Even Draco chuckled slightly but it ended when Dumbledore stood up...

"Can the first to the sixth years please head to the respected common rooms, and can the seventh and eighth year stay." I frowned in confusion and Harry grabbed my hand squeezing. I squeezed back and we continued to stare at Dumbledore ignoring the footsteps of the years below us.

But his speech was one I was not expecting.
