---------------------------------

Draco had been home for a couple of days now and it was getting quite boring. He spent most of his days taking care of his twin siblings, which wasn't as fun you would imagine it to be. Thankfully the elves knew a lot of magic tricks to appease them, otherwise, it would have been really a bother.

Draco was locked inside his own house, not allowed to go out under any circumstances. Ever since he met his father at the station everything was in lock-down mode. Supposedly some dark-lord supporters rose up and were planning on attacking some wizard community under the banner of his name but luckily the Ministry of Magic, captured them before they could even start the riot, but that didn't stop some of the people to suspect Draco and try hunt him down. Some wanted to kill him early on whereas some wanted to brainwash him completely.

The situation was quite similar to the death threats he received but luckily at the time Draco had managed to not let people, especially his parents find out about it, but this time it was different since the Minister himself alerted Lucius. Due to all that his house was in a complete lock-down mode. Especially the rules for Draco was so strict that he wasn't even allowed to send letters outside. Narcissa was against such methods but the paranoid Lucius wasn't listening to anyone. Lucius was wary that Draco might try to escape so he even confiscated his wand and suitcase.

Today, Lucius was busy with his wife and children, hosting a party in celebration. Different wizards and colleagues came over and celebrated the birth of the twins while Draco couldn't even get out of his room.

Suddenly the door opened slowly,

”Get out, I am not in the mood for anything right now.” Draco yelled thinking it was a house-elf who had came to check on him.

”Do you really want me to get out?” A familiar voice sounded out as Draco jumped from his bed. He looked around but no one was there. Suddenly he felt a kick in his butt making him jump.

”You piece of--” Draco pulled the cloth out of thin air and it was none other than Theodore under an invisibility cloak grinning at him.

”What's up?” he asked

”Che-- Nothing much.” Draco said throwing the cloak on the floor, ”What are you doing here?”

”My father was invited and I decided to tag along.” Theodore said, ”I heard about your situation, and bought a cloak with me. All this time at the party your father kept staring daggers at me, probably suspecting I might do something weird.”

”Did you bring your wand?” Draco said looking at Theodore in hope.

”I did.” Theodore waved his wand. ”By the way, Pansy and Daphe are downstairs as well. They wanted to meet you but were denied by your father.”

”I see.” Draco nodded, ”You are here to get me out right?”

”What?” Theodore looked shocked, ”I am only here to see you since from what I have heard you are in lockdown till the second year at Hogwarts starts, I thought I will come by and say a bit of farewell.”

”Stop joking around,” Draco said, ”I might go crazy here, wasting my time doing nothing. I feel like a prisoner in my own house.”

”Okay, okay, Calm down, will you.” Theodore said, ”Do you have a plan?”

”I have a place to hide.” Draco said, ”But first, I need my wand and case.”

”Who has been feeding those animals?” Theodore asked, ”Aren't they like dead already?”

”No, I left enough food to last a month.” Draco said shaking his head, ”But they sure are lonely, It's a weird situation where I can't explain to my parents that I have animals in my suitcase.”

”Why not?”

”Because they think its slightly weird and disgusting.” Draco said with an annoyed face, ”I hate being a kid.” Draco mumbled the last part to himself.

”Do you know where the suitcase and your wand is?” Theodore asked after a while.

”In the cellar,” Draco replied. ”Let's go.”

”By the way where do you plan to go?” Theodore asked, ”When did you get a hiding spot?”

”You will know when we get there,” Draco said picking up the invisibility cloak and putting it on him and Theodore.

Both of them slowly got out of his room and went down the stairs where the party was being held. The whole mansion was decorated beautifully and several people were there in modern wizard suits and dresses. Draco could see Pansy and Daphne taking with each other on the side and Lucius and Narcissa were to busy managing their own guests.

Among all these wizards they slowly managed to get out of the room as they headed towards the basement.

”Alomohara.” Theodore chanted and opened the door, and they quickly went inside it.

Draco and Theodore came out of the cloak as they frantically started searching for Draco's belongings. ”Where is it?” Theodore asked.

”Found it.” Draco said pointing at the chest, ”But it's locked.”

Theodore came over and chanted, ”Alomohara.” again but the chest didn't open. ”What kind of spell did your father use to lock this chest?”

”Don't know.” Draco said, ”I only saw him putting my stuff inside the chest but that's all-- Give me your wand!”

Theodore gave his wand to Draco, ”You might wanna back off a little.” he said.

Theodore in doubt slowly started backing off, as Draco grinned and chanted, ”Confringo.”
