Draco sat on the Hogwarts express. Alexia was sitting beside him, asleep. He nudged her gently. "Wake up. We'll be there in an hour and I want to talk to you about something." Alexia sat up straighter in her seat. Draco looked at her seriously. "You can't send me any owls, texts, or messages of any kind over the holidays. I have to stay at Malfoy Manor, with my parents and aunt. I think they're the dangers that Dumbledore was talking about. Maybe not mum but if father and aunt Bellatrix find out that we're together...." Draco trailed off but Alexia didn't need him to finish. "Of course" she said. They sat together in silence for a while. Then, before they knew it, they were at the station in London. Draco took their luggage down from the rack. Alexia and Draco looked at each other for a moment. Alexia kissed Draco on the cheek and smiled at him. "Have a nice Christmas, Draco" She said, then turned and left the train to greet her family. Draco waited a moment to ensure that they would not be exiting the train at the same time then took his own things and went to find his own parents.
