Lux and the Slytherin Circle returned to Hogwarts, after a trip to Hogsmeade. “Miss Smith”, Snape said, “Dumbledore would like to speak to you in his office”. Lux followed Snape. Dumbledore looked sad. “I’m sorry to inform you that your family has been killed in a car wreck”, he said. Lux sat there emotionless. “I don’t believe that. Same as I don’t believe my house fire was an accident”, Lux said. “We believe Voldemort may be after you”, Dumbledore said. “Is this supposed to alarm me?” Lux asked, “You’re forgetting who I hang out with. All of their parents are Death-eaters. If I was afraid for my life, I wouldn’t hang out with them. None of them would ever harm me”. “This isn’t you Alexz”, Dumbledore said. “How do you know who I am?!” Lux shrieked, “You know nothing about me!” “Miss Shire”, Snape said. Lux’s anger quickly died. “This isn’t a life for you”, Dumbledore said. “I choose this life”, Lux said softly. “It’s young Mr. Malfoy isn’t it?” Snape asked. Lux hung her head. “It seems that Miss Shire is choosing this life for love”, Snape said. “It’s the only way to keep Draco”, Lux said. “I understand Miss Smith”, Dumbledore said, “You may go”.
