Sleeping draft (y5)

                                    

                                          
It's been 3 days since I've actually talked to anyone. Draco is trying to give me space and by that I mean he doesn't come in at all. All my food is delivered by elves and they have been conditioned into not talking back.
                          
I haven't even gotten out of my pyjamas, which I guess is a positive.  
                          
Today however was different. 
                          
When the house elf delivered my breakfast there was a letter carefully placed on my tray. I quickly recognised the writing. 

                          
Dear y/n
                          
I was hoping you would join me for a walk today at 12:30 in the gardens? 
                          
I understand that you probably aren't too fond of Draco right now so I want to assure you that it will just be the two of us. 
                          
Yours
Narcissa
                          
The idea of talking to another human was nice but I have no idea what we were going to talk about. 
                          
I ate first then showered cos I haven't done that in a while. And I needed it.  Then I changed into new clothes and waited till 12:30.
                          
It was nearly time. 
                          
I unlocked the door but didn't open it. I took a breathe trying to process actually going outside the room. I could bump into a Carrow, bellatrix greyback, Malfoy etc. 
                          
The seconds felt like hours. It was almost 12:30 so I just braced myself and opened the door. 
                          
I felt a sudden calm wash over me as I couldn't see anyone outside my door. 
                          
No  idea what I was expecting. It's not like they would waste their time waiting outside my door so they could jump out at me. 
                          
I rushed down the stairs looking all around me but there wasn't anyone around. 
                          
I walked past a room near by the garden doors which caught my eye.  
                          
The door was slightly askew and I peaked inside that's where everyone was. They were mumbling and discussing something. Planning. But before I could get a better look a voice pulled me away. 
                          
" y/n dear" it was narcissa she stood by the door waiting for me. 
                          
" sorry I just thought I- uh-" I stumbled towards her. 
                          
"Don't worry I'm not going to tell anyone, but you do need to be careful because it's not just us here anymore"
                          
" I know draco told me"
                          
" good shall we start"
                          
I nodded and we headed out the door. 
                          
" cissy" bellas shrill voice came from inside. 
                          
I stopped in my tracks. frozen. 
                          
" I. I -I  thought we were go-going to be alone" I choked on my words 
                          
"I'll sort this out. Yes Bella?" She replied. 
                          
I finally turned and Bella stood at the doors with a man I recognised from the ministry break in. 
                          
" what are you doing with her?"
                          
" me and my daughter in law are going for a walk around the gardens. Is there a problem?"
                          
" she could make a run for it - we could escort you if -"
                          
" no Bella we'll be alright - I'm sure I can handle a wand less 16 year old student or are you suggesting that I simply don't have the skill?"
                          
" you know I'm not but she's slippery keep a close eye on her"
                          
" will do" she smiled and began to walk.
