Chapter 21. The Week After.
A week has passed since the First Task. Harry and I plan to meet tonight.
We decided to wait a week before meeting again.
We would meet on the Astronomy Tower. Pansy and Hermione would be going with us as well.
I have yet to figure out how to find out the clue from the golden egg for the next task.
This is stupid, all it does is screech. I've been trying to mull it over, how to figure it out.
I can't think of anything at all though. Maybe Harry had some luck.
I am currently sitting in my room staring at a letter from my parents.
I've had yet to own it cause I'm not sure if I even want to. All father would do is be angry.
That's all he ever does. Mom however, she's different. They probably saw that I passed the first task.
Finally, I breathed in deeply and took the letter in my hands. I opened it and started reading. It said.
Dear Draco.
How are you? We are doing great. Your father calmed down a lot now once he saw you had passed the first task. I'm so glad you passed it and are safe. Please write back and tell me all the details? I'm proud of you. I'm sure soon your father will be too. Keep it touch.
Love Mom.
I sigh in relief after I finished reading it. Good, father isn't so angry now.
I bring out some parchment and write a letter back to her, explaining how the first task went, what curse I used. All the details I could.
I then went to my owl and sent it to my mother. After that I made my way to the Great Hall.
It was getting closer to night. As I walk in I spot Harry. He's talking to Weasley and Hermione.
Good, he made up with Weasley. It's about time Weasley stopped acting like a jerk. I look and see Pansy and Blaise looking at me.
They smiled. I walked over and sat down by them.
After eating we left the Great Hall and went back to our House.
" So, have you figured anything out about the clue?" Says a Slytherin girl.
" No, not sense the last time somebody asked. " I say back.
" Maybe if you tried opening it again. " suggested a Slytherin guy.
Everyone looked at him. " Are you mad?!! " snapped Pansy.
" If you do that again we won't be able to hear for the next week." Says Blaise.
" Never mind then. " he says.
Soon enough, everyone heads to bed. Once it's clear Pansy meets me at the door.
We then leave. We quickly and quietly make our way to the Astronomy Tower.
They walked up the steps. Once they got to the top they saw Harry and Hermione there.
They looked over and smiled. They waved. " Hey guys." Says Harry.
" Hey." We both say.
As we sit down Hermione goes into a bag she brought.
" On account that this is the first time we have met since before the first task, I have taken it upon myself to get us all some butter beer for our very own celebration for completing the first task. " says Hermione.
She pulls out four glasses and sets them down. One in front of each of us.
She then pulls out a bottle of butter beer. " Since we haven't been able to celebrate on our own, in a way that is most fun to us. I assumed it would be best for us to celebrate alone." Says Hermione.
" Sounds amazing Hermione." Says Harry.
" I agree." I say. Pansy gives a big smile in agreement and nods.
Hermione pours butter beer into our cups before putting the lid back on it and slipping it back into her bag.
We all hold up our glasses. " To surviving and completing the first task." Says Harry.
" Cheers." We all says. We clink our glasses together before drinking a sip.
When we remove the cup from our lips we all grin. Then Pansy starts to giggle, which soon turns into laughing.
Her laugh was contagious and I wasn't quite sure as to why we were laughing, but soon enough we were all bent over with laughter.
" This is nice." Says Pansy.
" Soon though, we're gonna need to bring Blaise and your Weasley friend to our meetings." I say.
" I highly agree." Says Harry.
We talk and laugh for a while, just catching up. Till Hermione brought up something.
" So Harry has had no luck with the egg. Have you had any luck at all?" Asked Hermione.
" Well there goes the question we were gonna ask." I say with a small laugh.
They looked confused for a second. " That means, no he hasn't figured anything out." Says Pansy.
They nodded. " We'll keep each other updated though. I mean, there's got to be someway. You wouldn't just be given a clue without a way to decipher it." Says Hermione.
" Agreed." I say.
We continued to talk for a while before soon saying goodnight and going our separate ways to our houses.
" You are gonna try to figure out the clue the egg has for you, aren't you?" Says Pansy.
" Of course I will Pansy. " I say.
She smiles and the two of us walk into Slytherin house and go to our rooms.
I walk into mine and quickly get ready for bed. I set my wand on the desk by my bed and finally lay down in bed.
I close my eyes and soon enough, I fall into a deep sleep.

A/N. Hey guys. I know it's been a while. I finally got a chapter up. Since the Yule Ball is the next important thing to write, I decided to find Draco a girl to go with. I can't decide who to make Draco go with. So I need some help. If you guys could comment and let me know who you'd prefer Draco to go with, please let me know? Thanks. I'll update it again when I can.
