The Eyes Filled Train

I had only a month to prepare, the month of August, the month before Hogwarts starts again. From learning Legilimency..Reviewing school curriculum..Studying for my O.W.Ls..AndTaking my O.W.Ls.. .Voldemorts plan is for me to attend Hogwarts along with Draco. There we will both complete our individual tasks...I have learned what Draco's task is...I saw his memory of the cabinet in Knockturn Alley.....

... That is all I have to say because I don't know what to say...

Back on the subject of school and the outside world I am a registered Animagus... or whatever I am. Apparently the Death Eater infection is in the Ministry as well and filed me in their system....

As for the actual school part, Snape spoke to Dumbledore and convince him to let me back in...But I don't think Dumbledore needed much convincing by the memories of the conversation I saw from Snape.

Yes... You read correctly...I can now not only mind-read but see memories as if they were mine...

But that only happens if I am looking into their eyes, the windows to the soul or whatever it is. For some reason I can't seem to stop them from revealing either...

A single eye contact is like a movie of all of the memories the person can recall and it's... Its like how I couldn't stop from saying peoples hidden truths before but now it is memories and....I just can't stop it and Snapes advice isn't working.

And I am pretty sure that is why Voldemort is avoiding me... he's a coward, overrated. Scared of me, a girl can see everything, all his secrets... Yea, I guess he should be a little scared.

But it is sort of a blessing... and a curse...

For Draco I saw how on the first day of school he only came over to try and steal me away from Potter. He was and still jealous of Harry's fame and attention, but know he no longer wants to be my friend to win something of Harry's but because....

Draco cares for me, in a way a boy would...But why? Yes I did intrigue him and make him feel like a real person instead of a Malfoy. Someone who was there for him as an equal yet I wasn't...But why would he... Why would he like me?.

Narcissa, I saw my mother...I watched my mother grow up in Hogwarts....But in her memories I also saw my... Dolohovs memories. How much my mother fawned over the quiet boy who hung out with the now Death Eater circle. If only he stayed the quiet boy, the one who was just a watcher in the fun of hurting others..

Snape, I saw...The questions of Harry's treatment were answered.He loved Lily, Harry's mother. James, the father, bullied Snape and this is his way of getting even. I saw his sadness when Lily died, his grief and anguish...

---------. . .

Narcissa took Draco and me to Kings Crossing Station, immediately with seeing everyone I turned to Draco.

Draco looked around then to his mother. "We are going."

Narcissa gave a sad smile, I could hear her telling herself everything was going to be alright. A Unbreakable Vow... With Snape...I know if Draco fails.. Snape will finish the task.

I looked away from her to quiet my mind of everything except my own thoughts.

"Seraphina." I turned back to Narcissa, she handed me my wand, I took it. "Be safe, both of you."

"Thank you." I said back.

A hand locked in mine, I looked down to see Draco's. "I'll guide you, keep your eyes down." I nodded, he started to walk towards the train along with the students already trying to get on.

"There are less students this year." I looked around to the legs and feet of students around us.

"They are all afraid."

(It's probably safer away from Hogwarts this year anyways.)Draco let me walk onto the train first then ushered me over to his normal seat. "You take the window seat." I moved back so he could sit first.

Draco scoffed. "I rather the window get a face full of feathers then me."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine." I moved in and sat sideways on the bench with my wings towards the window, Draco sat next to me. "I hate this. Why can't I learn to control how much I can see?"

(Why did Voldemort command me to come back here... Does he not realize how out of control my powers are?)

Draco looked away from me so I couldn't read his wild thoughts of 'Does she know I like her?' or the common 'She is beautiful.' or 'I am not good enough for her.'.

"Maybe there is a book somewhere with answers... You have always liked to read." Draco scoffed. "I'm surprised you got in Slytherin instead of Ravenclaw."

I smiled. "But being in Slytherin is so much more fun."

{Shes smiling. The sun makes her wings glow, she's gorgeous... Damn.} Draco looked away and cleared his throat.

Pansy and Blaise showed up and I looked away. "Bloody hell, Olivia." Pansy gasped. "What happened to you?"

"Shut it, Pansy." Draco spoke for me.

Pansy sat across from me. "I'm just curious." She defended.

"I thought you were expelled?" Blaise sat next to Pansy.

I kept my eyes to my hands in my lap or looking at Draco's arm. "Dumbledore is now the Headmaster and he allowed me to continue attending."

"I guess you are the one who took my Prefect position then." Pansy huffed.

"Pansy." Draco warned.

"Alright..." She leaned back in her seat.

"You two get all close over the summer?" Blaise asked smugly. .You want to know how exactly I know Draco like me? Other than his current thoughts.

I can't feel emotions or hear past thoughts but I can definitely see memories of Draco warning Blaise that I was his...Apparently Blaise was going to ask me to the Yule Ball... Draco didn't like that. And that is the first memory of Draco ever talking about liking me.

It's kind of weird knowing he likes me...I dont know what to do. I'm not going to avoid him but...I dont know what I want in my life anymore..

"It is none of your business, Zabini." Draco scowled.

The train started to move, students that were in the pathway finally took their seats. Goyle and Crabbe say the booth beside us and I closed my eyes and rested my head on the seat.

"Are you already tired?" Pansy asked.

"In a way yes."

(This was such a stupid idea. I'll lose my marbles if I even attend a class. There is no way I can avoid everyone. I feel horrible for invading peoples minds. It's... I need a blindfold.)

Draco nudged me, I opened my eyes and looked at him. "Are you alright?" I nodded. {I hate seeing her like this.}

I smiled softly. "I'm fine, Draco."

Draco gave me a bored expression. {I hate that you can read my mind now.}

"I don't try to." I mumbled and looked back to his arm. "Do you have a hat or something?"

"Yes." Draco stood up and moved to his luggage that was on the overhead rack.

"What's your deal?" Pansy asked quietly. "Why are you so close to Draco?"

The train car was then engulfed in blackness. (No, no, no.) I closed my eyes and calmed myself down. (I'm fine. I'm strong.) I opened my eyes back up and looked into the blackness.

"What was that?" Draco asked. "Blaise?"

"Don't know." Blaise replied.

"Relax, boys." Pansy said. "It's probably just a first year messing around." The black dissipated. "Come, Draco. Sit down. We'll be at Hogwarts soon."

"Hogwarts." Draco huffed and handed me his hat. "What a pathetic excuse for a school." I put it on my head. "I think I'd pitch myself off the Astronomy Tower if I thought I had to continue on for another two years."

"Don't say that." I scolded, Draco looked at me. "Don't even joke about something like that."

{Sorry. I don't actually mean it.} Draco's thoughts said.

(I wouldn't be surprised if you did though... You're so conflicted between thinking the task is a privilege and knowing that all of this is wrong. You don't want any of this yet you want to prove yourself...)

I nodded slowly. "I'm going to take a nap. Just wake me when we get there." Draco nodded.

I pulled the cap over my eyes and leaned my head over to the back of the seat. I didn't fall asleep, though I was mentally tired. Instead I just listened to the boring conversation.
