Chapter 10

It was a cold evening.

Michael and I made our way to the office of Professor Slughorn for the Supper Party.

Earlier when Michael and I are leaving the common room, I felt Draco's cold stare behind my back. This hasn't happened once but it already happened many times. I just shrugged it off my mind in order for me to avoid having an eye contact with him.

As we have reached Professor Slughorn's office, Michael raised his hand in front of the door, forming it into a fist and was about to knock.

"Wait," I blurted.

Michael lowered his hand and turned to me. "Why? What's wrong?" He asked.

"I changed my mind and I think I should go back."

As I turned around, about to start my pace, Michael suddenly grabbed both sides of my arms, stopping me from leaving.

"Y/n, we're already here. There's no turning back now." He told, pulling me back.

"Fine," I sighed as I turned around to face the door again and raised my hand, forming it into a fist and knocked.

Then, it opened.

"Miss Auclair, Mr Lestrange, grateful for you to come." Professor Slughorn smiled, opening the door widely and letting us in. "You are not the first to arrive, Zabini and Belby had just arrived 3 minutes before you."

Zabini? Malfoy's friend is here?

I looked at the sofa and saw Blaise was really here, looking at us.

I thought this Party would be fun, but...I feel like it would be uncomfortable for me.

We are eating our desserts.

I have been really feeling really uncomfortable because every minute, Zabini's eyes would always landed on me. Sure, indeed he's a friend of Malfoy, but why would he do that? I mean- I know for sure that he doesn't know that Malfoy and I are married.

"So, tell me, Cormac. See much of your Uncle Tiberius these days?" Professor asked Cormac besides him.

"Yes, sir. In fact, I'm meant to go hunting with him and the minister for Magic over the holiday." McLaggen replied.

"Well, be sure to give them both my best." He told and turned to Belby. "What about your uncle, Belby? Working on anything new?" Then he turned his head to us. "For those of you who don't know, Marcus' uncle invented the wolfsbane Potion."

But, Belby never looked at Professor. He only focused on his food, eating it.

"Don't know. Him and Dad don't get on. Probably because Dad thinks potions are rubbish. Says the only potion worth having is a stiff one at the end of the day." He spoke, still eating his food.

"And what about you Miss Granger. What is your family does in the Muggle world?" Professor asked Hermione.

We all looked at her, curious about her Parents' occupation in the Muggle World.

"My parents are dentists." She responded.

Flora and Hestia Carrow looked at Hermione. I think they are rather confused about what's a dentist.

"They tend to people's teeth. " Hermione added.

"Fascinating. And is that considered a dangerous profession?" He asked again.

"No..." She looked at us, then back to Professor Slughorn. "Although, a boy named Robbie Fenwick did bite my father once. He needed ten stitches."

I suddenly looked at her upon hearing what she has just told us. Perhaps, in my opinion, the dentist might be a bit....dangerous.
