Draco's Point of View

_______________________

           I stood there as Hermione and walked out with Luna. Luna was crying and said something that I couldn't understand. Hermione nodded and said something back. We stood in our usually positions to go places. Hermione and I stood side by side. I grabbed her hand and she didn't object. We walked slowly with Luna in the middle. I don't think I could have walked like this if it were Hermione we were protecting instead. Everyone else looked sullen apparently Hermione had told them the sad truth about protecting Luna. I knew that we would always walk in a group. Today we were going to see if we could all go to the same classes at the same times but of course we would have to explain the blood bind. McGonagall might not be to happy about that but she would understand. We all continued walking as if we were walking to our own funeral. Harry was looking like he could cry. Luna looked scare/nervous. Hermione looked clammy. Neville looked serene but not in a good way. Hannah and Ernie were talking in hushed voices with worried expressions. Pansy was looking scared, worried that she would be next. I knew that I couldn't look much better, I didn't feel any better than they looked. 

            We got to the marriage classes and sat down. Of course it was tables that held two people, one male and one female. Hermione and I sat down close to the others, partially because of the blood bind and partially because we were all friends,or close to it now. I sat across from Hermione and she and I played footies under the table the last few minutes before class. She grinned across the table at me when she won. I sighed, "I let you do that." "That's a bit of a cliche for me, Ron said it in fifth year when Harry was running the D.A." "Dumbledore's Army." I said with her, "Yeah I know things." We laughed for a while until the teacher walked in. I was surprised to see who it was, "Hello class, I am sure you find it unfair that you have been sorted with a partner for life. I would hate that. My name is Professor Tonks, well Professor Lupin, if you want to use my married name. I don't care if you call me Tonks, Professor, Professor Tonks or Professor Lupin. Just make sure that it is one of those four things and not mean or my first name, as I am now a teacher at Hogwarts. Next year I will become DADA Professor." Harry and his friends looked stunned, especially the ones who had known her for a while. "Dumbledore told you." Tonks said to Harry. No one but Harry understood this. Tonks clapped her hands, "Well let's get started." Everyone nodded. 

                   "Now today we are going to be doing a test to prove that the Sorting Hat was right." She handed the tests out. "I know that this may seem odd, but I need to you to know that the Sorting Hat was right. You will compare answers with your partners when you are bot finished. Alright Everyone get to work." I looked at the test:

Question 1: Would you like to live in a muggle or wizard community? I would like to live right in between the muggle and wizard community so that my children can have a mixed community, unlike me, so that they don't hate muggle-born witches or wizards.

Question 2: How many children would you like to have? I would like to have 4-6 children.

Question 3: Would you like to have muggle or magic children? How many of each? I want to have 0 muggle children and 4-6 magic children, although I am okay with having muggle and magic children. 

Question 4: How many girls would you like? How many boys would you like? I would like to have 2-3 girls and 2-3 boys. 

Question 5: When would you like to have your first child? I don't care when as long as Hermione wants them when we have them.

     I finished just a few seconds before Hermione. She wrote her final answer and handed me her paper. 

Question 1: Would you like to live in a muggle or wizard community? I would like to live in between the muggle and wizard communities so that my children can have a mixed culture and not hate muggle-borns. 

Question 2: How many children would you like to have? I would like to have 2-4 children. 

Question 3: Would you like to have muggle or magic children? How many of each?  I want to have 0 muggle children and 2-4 magic children but I don't care if they are magic or muggle.

Question 4: How many girls would you like? How many boys?I would like to have 1-2 boys and 1-2 girls. 

Question 5: When would you like to have your first child? I don't care when as long as it is within the next two years. 

      I looked up at Hermione and said, "6." She said, "4." I grinned, "I can do this as long as you want." Hermione grinned.
