(Author's POV)
As months pass by, the four got even closer

Spending almost every minute together, laughing, talking, or just enjoying each others company quietly. They even have inside jokes, and nicknames for eachother.

Ophelia had been so busy with her friends that she started to fail her classes

Receiving a Howler at breakfast from her father

"Ophelia Mendoza," he says blankly, the only person that can tell he's furious is Ophelia

"Your marks have completely dropped. What did I tell you?" he continues

"You are not allowed in my house for the rest of summer, you hear me" he scolds

"I don't care where you go, as long as it isn't here" he finishes as the Howler rips itself and falls onto the table

Ophelia looks down teary eyed

"Hey, it's ok" Draco says. He felt quite awkward in these situations. He didn't know how to comfort her

"What am I going to do? Where am I gonna go?" Ophelia cries as she places her head onto the table

"You'll find somewhere to stay, Phelia" Pansy reassures her

Draco looks at his friends and Blaise smirks and gives him a nod

"Uh.. if-if you'd like I could ask my parents if you could stay with us" Draco shyly asks

"You would do that for me" Ophelia asks as she lifts her head

"Yea totally" Draco runs the back of his neck

"Thanks Draco" she smiles as she gives him a hug. His face goes red.

Pansy whispers something into Blaise's ear and they both silently giggle but Draco doesn't notice

Ophelia glares at Pansy quickly

(later that night)

(Draco's POV)
I took Weasleys notebook earlier, there was a note. The note said something about a dragon. And to meet someone outside after curfew.

This'll be good. Finally could get those Gryffindors in trouble.

We follow the three and watch from the window the egg the oaf had explodes, revealing a little green dragon

As the dragon accidentally catches the oaf's beard on fire he notices us at the window

"Who's that?" the oaf asks

We all run quickly and go tell a teacher
"Slytherins" I can hear Potter say as we run away

We tell Professor McGonagall hoping they finally get the detention they deserve

"It's crazy, and worse, those slytherins know" we can hear Weasley say as they walk down the corridor

Professor McGonagall stands in front of the classroom and we follow her

"I don't understand, is that bad?" Potter asks

"It's bad" Weasley says finally seeing McGonagall
