"Oh my God I'm going to miss you both soo much!" Imogen cried as she flung her arms round you and Serena.
"Me too! Have a great time in Ibiza and don't come back too tanned or you'll make me jealous!" You grinned enviously.
I could have gone to Ibiza and got a great tan too if it wasn't for my so called family going and dumping us all with the Malfoys!!!
"I will! And make sure you tell me everything that happens at his house!!" She beamed her eyes watering slightly.
"Oh Imogen don't cry! You'll start me off. Christmas is only a couple of weeks long and we'll all meet up during that time! Promise you'll write to us as much as you can?" Serena squealed her own eyes starting to go a bit red.
"I promise!" Shrieked Imogen as she gave you both a firm kiss on the cheek and one last hug before she quickly ran off to say her goodbyes to Harry.
You couldn’t help but crack a grin as you watched your friend plant a shy little kiss on a very pink Harry. They were just so sweet and perfect for each other.
Your heart panged as you realised there was no one sweet nor perfect for you.
"BYE! HAVE A FANTASTIC CHRISTMAS!" Imogen yelled as she climbed into the passenger seat of a beeping, yellow Audi TT.
"Have a great time!"
"We'll miss you!" Serena and you both yelled.
"Hey Madison, Serena!" You recognized Hermione's voice call as she approached you from behind.
"Hey Herms, Harry and Ron!"
"Where are you lot off to this Christmas?" You giggled as you noticed Harry was still a bit pink from Imogen's kiss.
"Shopping in Paris!!" Hermione squealed somewhat out of character.
Oh come on! Is everyone going off to a lovely holiday just to spite me?!
"God you lucky thing!" Serena cried.
Mmm too lucky!
"Oh that’s me now!" Hermione cried pointing and waving to a BMW that had jus rolled up by the side of the pavement.
"Have a lovely Christmas you lot! And don't forget to study for the tests in February!" Hermione warned as she gave you and Serena a hug before saying goodbye to her two best friends.
"Maddie, our rides here." Alexa shouted as she walked up to you followed by a big group of 6th years.
"Okay!" Quickly you turned to Serena.
"Have a fantastic time! And don't forget to write to me as soon as your free to meet up! Trust me I'll be doing nothing at all during Christmas!" You sighed.
"I will! And cheer up, use your time wisely while your at his house." Serena beamed. You knew what she really meant was ‘get as much dirt on Malfoy as humanly possible and remember to play a couple of pranks on him while your there!’
"I will! I'll miss you millions." You cried giving her an extra tight hug.
"Me too!" She said sadly as she give you a hug and a kiss on the cheek back.
You grinned to her and turned around to say bye to Ron and Harry.
"Ron don't eat to much turkey or chocolate and make sure Harry stays out of trouble! Harry make sure Ron doesn't eat to much and make sure you both have a great Christmas!" You instructed in a false strict voice. They both grinned at you as you gave them a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Wow two kisses in one day! It must be my Birthday!" Harry joked.
"Come on Madison!" Your sister snapped impatiently.
"Coming." You sighed as you took one last look at the magnificent castle and your friends.
"Bye Madison!" They cried as you waved and quickly ran after Alexa dragging your 10 ton trunk with you.
You spotted a long black limo waiting patiently, parked by the curve. It definitely stood out amongst the other cars.
"Is that for us?!" You asked shocked as your eyes darted across the shiny black paint.
"I guess." Alexa answered looking slightly impressed. She span round and you heard one of her friends cry "Oh my god I'm totally going to miss you like this much!"
Rolling your eyes you decided you’d rather wait in the limo. Their whiny voices where already making your ears bleed. You pulled open the smooth polished door and slid in taking a seat on the squishy black leather.
"JESUS CHRIST!" You hollered as you stared round at the inside of the limo with saucer sized eyes.
The black curved leather seats where placed tightly up against the limo wall. There where purple twinkling lights on the ceiling and small neon lights round the windows and on top of the seats. There was a miniature pool table, a mini bar, a snacks bar, champagne ice bucket and probably even a hot tub in the boot. Strangely enough however, there wasn't a TV.
You sat glued to your leather seat just staring in awe. You noticed a round shape next to your armrest and pressed down on it. You jumped slightly as out popped a champagne bottle and some glasses.
Bloody hell! I feel like a celebrity.
Quickly you popped open the champagne bottle with a corkscrew and poured yourself a bubbling drink. Knowing you'd regret it later if you didn't have at least one glass.
"God what’s taking her so long?!" You moaned after draining your third glass.
10 teeth grinding minutes later you slid down the blacked out window and yelled..
"For Gods sake 'Lexa get into the car! It's only a month till you'll see them all again!" Then quickly you rolled the window back up after receiving a very vicious looking glare.
Finally the door slid open and in came your sister.
"Wow!! Look at all this stuff. The Malfoys must be swimming in it! I can just tell this is going to be one fab Christmas!" Alexa cried happily all in one go as she grabbed the open Champagne bottle, stuck a straw in it and began to innocently slurp the whole thing.
"Alcoholic." You muttered.
"Don't you think there going just a little OTT? I mean its not as if we needed a limo and the journeys probably not even that long! I'd have been perfectly happy with a normal car." You snapped getting a little annoyed at your sister for taking a liking to the Malfoys so quickly.
Your sister tutted in an annoying way and stared at you almost pityingly.
Cheak! She acts like our bloody mother! She’s only 2 years older then me as well."
"Well obviously they know how important the Claris family are, and felt the need to send us to their house in style." Alexa said not suspicious in the slightest.
Typical! Flash her a bit of money, luxuries and she’s open to anything.
Dumb airhead.
You rolled your eyes and waited nervously for the ‘Slytherin prince’ to arrive. Your father had told you he would be accompanying you on the trip to his house I mean his mansion. You where already fretting about the whole next month with him.
"Where’s that Malfoy boy?" You sister demanded impatiently after 15 minutes of waiting.
"I don't know! Do you think he knows were coming back to stay with him?" You asked twiddling your fingers.
"Probably and stop that!" Your sister cried watching your fingers, with a look on her face indicating she was just about ready to pounce on them.
"Sorry." You carried on panicking.
Maybe he won't know I'm coming back with him! I could hide in the hot tub at the back until we get to his house, then wait for him to meet Mum and Dad. Then I could creep up to my room once the coast is clear! But he's sure to know I'm here because he'll see Alexa and he knows my second name is Claris! Damn it..
You thought about what it would be like having to spend the whole of Christmas with Draco. Sure you where on better terms with him, but only a tiny bit! And that’s only because he saved your life a couple of days ago at the Quidditch match. The fact was, he was still Malfoy, an evil little toad and you doubted anything or anyone could change that.
"Listen someone’s outside! It must be him coming."
You looked out the window but it was no use since the door was near the rear end of the limo while you were both sitting up at the front. You heard voices laughing outside getting closer and closer to the door.
Hold on! There’s more than one voice.. he must be bringing his Slytherin friends! Oh God, I never thought of that!! What if their all deatheaters? I suppose on the plus side they could be quite cute? But still.. AHH!!!
The limo door creaked open and in came Blaise, Flint, Crabbe and Goyle. They seemed to be laughing at something but they soon stopped once they noticed you and your sister both sitting there stunned.
They stared at you both wide eyed and mouths gaping slightly.
"Madison?!"
"Blaise?!"
"What are you doing here?"
"Going back to Draco’s! We always go back to his place for some dea- er.. to train for things." Blaise stuttered.
"What are you doing here?" He asked still shocked.
You sighed.
"Apparently Malfoys parents and ours are really close friends and thought it would be a lovely idea if we all spent Christmas together!" You grinned with fake enthusiasm.
"Well this is going to be one interesting Christmas!" He cried laughing.
You smiled back secretly thankful for having someone you actually got on with and would be able to talk to during the holiday.
"Hey where’s Draco?" You asked noticing he wasn't with the boys.
"He had to stay a couple of hours extra. Something to do with Snape, he'll be coming home later today but not with us. Does he know your staying with him during the holiday?" Blaise asked raising his eyebrows slightly as he looked across from you to your sister.
"Nope and I wish it would stay that way." You sighed, all raised hopes of Draco having to stay during the whole Christmas fading away fast.
"Anyway enough about Draco already. Are you not going to introduce me to your...sister I take it?" Blaise asked with a grin.
You where pretty surprised that they hadn’t already met each other since Alexa was in Slytherin.
"Have you two not already met?! Well.. this is my sister Alexa she’s in Slytherin 6th year." You said pointing to your sister. You saw Flint smirking slightly as he checked her out. However Alexa’s attention stayed completely on Blaise.
"And this Alexa, Is Blaise, Flint, Crabbe and Goyle. Blaise is dating Serena. You know Serena right?" You asked trying to make it as clear as possible that Blaise was off limits. You saw a twinkle in Alexa eye, she'd always had a thing about things that were forbidden.
"Pleasure to meet you." She said huskily shaking Blaise's hand.
Urgh!
A couple of hours later after a long yet 'interesting' journey the car began to slow down. You glanced out the window and saw the car was waiting for the entrance gates to open. The car then picked up its pace as it drove through the long driveway passing many trees and an endless field of freshly cut grass. You heard the gravel crackle underneath the cars tiers.
"Bloody hell!" Alexa breathed. You looked up and followed her gaze taking a sharp intake of breath. In the distance lay the most beautiful, magnificent mansion you had ever seen. It was massive, fields of grass and trees surounded it. You couldn't believe how big it got the closer and closer you drove. The limo came to a stop and quickly you opened the door and jumped out. Only to find that legs had gone numb from the long journey. You stumbled trying to keep your balance but felt some hands wrap themselves round your waist hoisting you up.
"Thanks!" You grinned feeling slightly embarrassed as you saw Blaise smiling down at you.
"No problem."
Your teeth chattered as you waited for everyone to climb out of the vehicle. It was bloody freezing outside and you where surprised it wasn't snowing.
Once everyone was out the limo's engine started up again and it began to drive round towards the back of the Mansion.
"Hey! My trunks still in there!!" You cried watching it disappear.
"Relax, its only going to the garage. Someone will bring our stuff inside for us." Flint said smirking at you.
"Pfft.. obviously I knew that! I was just worried they wouldn't er.. wouldn't know where to put my things! Yeah!" You cried poking your tongue out.
Alexa laughed as you all walked up to the double front doors. Flint swung the door open and slowly you all followed him in. You where greeted by a large golden entrance hall.
A medium sized chandelier hung from the ceiling with other lights placed in various places. The floor and stairs seemed to be made completely of marble and the banister was metal with a swirly decoration. Paintings hung from the walls and a couple of plants littered the corners, overall the room looked pretty chic and expensive.
You heard some shoes clicking on the marble floor and then a shriek.
"My babies!! I've missed you soo much! How was school? God your both freezing cold! Get yourselves warmed up immediately!" Your mother cried as she ran towards you giving you both a big hug whilst trying not to drop the large wine bottle in her hand.
You laughed as you and your sister both hugged her back
"We missed you to mum!" Alexa cried.
Your mother looked amazing, dressed in a beautiful long green dress with some gold embroidery at the waist. Complementing her milky skin and fierce red that tumbled down her back in bouncy curls.
"And my, who are all these handsome boys? Surely friends of Narcissa's son!" Your mother grinned looking at the 4 now blushing boys.
Your sister let out a snort.
"Issabela? Is that them? Are they here? Lucius! Malcolm! The children are here!!!" Came a bold yet enchanting voice.
You looked up the stairs and saw a vision of black float elegantly down. The women was beautiful. But in a completely different way to your mothers own flawless looks. She had long platinum blonde hair that trailed off below her chest, and bold yet feminine features. A sharp nose curved slightly at the end, dark blue eyes and full lips delicately painted with red lipstick. She wore a long black dress much like your mothers but your mothers went a little lower at the front while hers was slightly tighter round the waist. Together they both looked like made up fairy tale creatures, too beautiful to be two simple humans.
Finally the lady reached the bottom step and stood gazing at you and Alexa intensely. You felt uncomfortable under her stare and began shuffling around a bit. Alexa however didn't seem fazed in the slightest. That or she hadn't even noticed the lady's fascinated stares.
"My they have grown! And into such beautiful young ladies! Its hard to believe the last time I saw them one had only stopped wetting the bed and the other still needed you to wipe the dribble off her little dimpled chin!" The lady cackled her eyes dancing in amusement as she pulled you both over giving you tight hug and kiss on both cheeks.
"What?!" You and your sister both cried over her shoulder. You blushed furiously as the boys snorted, but soon stopped once they saw the nasty look Alexa shot them.
"Oh but of course! You wouldn’t’t remember. You where only 5 and 3 at the time." She cried staring down at you obviously thoroughly amused.
"Shh! Narcissa stop confusing them! They still have a lot to learn of their past." Your mother said softly, smiling at you her eyes full of love and affection.
"Yes your right Issabella, ah boys! How lovely to see you all again. And you've all grown so much in the past year! How's school? I trust the journey was okay? I’m sorry we had to send such a disgusting muggle device as transport but there was no other way we could get you all here! Unless we apporatied you all of course." She cried giving each boy a kiss on both cheeks.
"Good to see you again Mrs.M." Blaise said a little too fondly.
"Where are those two?! Malcolm! Lucius!" Your mother cried tapping her foot impatiently.
"Were here." Came a silky smooth voice.
You looked to the left and saw your father and a strange man walk in to the room.
"Daddy!" You cried as you ran up to your father draping your arms around him, your sister doing the same.
"My two little princesses! How was Hogwarts? More importantly what houses did you both get put into?" Your father chuckled. You let him go and looked up at him.
"Slytherin." Alexa said proudly your father grinned and the man beside him gave a little smirk.
"Hufflepuff." You said in a completely different tone to your sisters.
"Ah both wonderful houses! I'm very proud of you two!"
There was an awkward silence where you all just stood their staring slightly. Your father cleared his throat.
"Well this must be pretty weird for you both since you probably won't remember meeting Lucius or Narcissa but they are very close friends to the family and we have indeed known them for years. You and Draco their son, even use to play together when you where younger believe it or not!"
WHAT?! WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE ON?!?! I’VE NEVER MET THE MALFYOS BEFORE IN MY LIFE!!! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON?!! ?
"What? I don't understand! What’s going on?!" Your sister cried obviously as bewildered as you where. Lucius smirked again and your father chuckled.
"Don't worry darling, you'll both know all in due time. For now I suppose I'll have to introduce you all again."
"This is Lucius Malfoy a dear friend of mine and a.. er yeah." Your father said gesturing to the man beside him.
You looked up at the man properly for the first time. The man was astonishingly handsome. He had the same platinum blonde hair as his wife and son, it hung down to his shoulders. He had silvery grey eyes and very cold features. Cold looking or not he was still devilishly handsome and you couldn't help but find his age and looks a tiny bit attractive.
Eww! Madison, he’s the same age as your father!
"Pleasure to meet you both, once again." He said his smooth voice echoing through the hall.
Urgh nothing but a charmer. Just like his son! Mum may like him, his wife may like him but me and Alexa are definitely not shallow enough to fall for a bit of charm and a smooth voice.
You looked over towards your sister with a proud smirk on your face, until you saw her giggling as Lucius kissed her on the hand.
Spoke to soon..
He came over to you with an all knowing smirk plastered on his face as he took your hand and bent down to kiss it, he’s eyes staying on you the whole time. You resisted the urge to smack him across the face and smiled politely back at him.
"So well mannered, and both very beautiful. You can definitely tell who takes after who." Lucius chuckled making everyone else in the room laugh except you.
Ahahaha very amusing.. yes.
"And this is Narcissa Malfoy." Your mother smiled as she gestured to the ice queen next to her.
"Darlings!" Narcissa said simply as she once again kissed you on both cheeks.
"There now we are all acquainted once again, why don't we show you to your rooms?" Narcissa smiled showing you her perfect white, straight teeth.
Best idea anyone’s had all day!
"Boys I'm sure you'll be kind enough to show the girls where they'll be staying? Madison can have the room on Draco's floor and Alexandra the one on Blaise's. Of course you know where your own rooms are. Dinner will be served at 8." She said before turning away with the rest of the grown ups.
"Oh and have you any idea what time Draco will be arriving?" She asked turning round quickly.
"Probably in about an hour and a half." Flint said looking down at his Rolex.
"Oh right." Narcissa said sounding slightly inpatient.
"Right then Flint you show Madison her room since it's on the same floor as yours. I'll show Alexa hers. Crabbe, Goyle you both go er.. do whatever." Blaise said already walking up the stairs.
You sighed as you followed him and your sister knowing perfectly well that Flint was staring down at your butt.
"Later Maddie." Alexa said grinning as she stared at Blaise's.
"Mm."
You followed flint through a series of cream and green painted corridors and up some more stairs almost losing your way on 3 occasions since you kept stopping to stair at the portrait's of the Malfoy's distant relatives or the Black's (who by now you guessed to be Narcissa's side of the family).
"Here you are." Flint said stopping at a white painted door.
"Do you want me to come in and er..help you get accustomed to the room?" He asked smirking as he pushed you up against the door and slid his hands up the inside of your leg.
You stared at him in shock. You had never been touched like that before. Not even Malfoy had ever touched you in such a privet area.
"Er..no I'll be fine!" You croaked opening the door and slamming it in his face.
"Well if you need me I'm just down the hall!" You heard his muffled voice cry though the door.
Go away!!
Biting your lip, you turned round to look at your room, your eyes nearly popping out as you did so. Your room was gorgeous, you had half expected it to be painted green, black or cream since they where the main colours of the rest of the mansion but his was not the case. Your room was painted lilac and white giving it a calm atmosphere. The furniture was mostly cream or pastel coloured and a large king sized bed with silver posts lay at one side of the room. Two loveseats lay at the opposite side near a large fireplace with a mirror on the wall above it. A small plush seat stood near the bed with flowers planted in the middle. There was also a small wardrobe with a chest of draws under it resting by the wall near the large French windows. You walked across the room to the left side of your bed and saw two doors standing next to each other.
Hyper like a 2 year old you ran into one of the rooms and let out a little squeal as you did so. Around you where endless rows of shoes, dresses, skirts, tops, accessories and everything else you could think off. You had noticed they weren't only your stuff but also brand new stuff still with the tags on. Your mum must have done some serious shopping while you where away. You grinned and ran to the a pair of red 6 inch heels and kicked of your trainers and slipped them on. You did a little twirl feeling all the soft material of the clothing and giggling as you almost tripped over.
If this is what I get for having to put up with Malfoy for a couple of weeks then f*ck yeah!!
Quickly you ran out of the walk in wardrobe and into your en-suit bathroom. The floor and shower where made from marble and the walls where painted cream. The shower was very big with a glass panel and for some reason had windows in it. The bath was big enough to fit at least 4 people in and there was even a hot tub further down the room near the sinks. Potions and lotions lay scattered around the room full with delicious scents and amazing colours just waiting to be used.
"God this is amazing!!" You yelled jumping up and down accidentally slipping on the marble and landing sprawled out on the cold hard floor. Still grinning like a loon you got up and walked back into your bedroom. Sure your own room was pretty massive but it was nothing compared to all this! Your face fell as you looked round your bedroom. Something was wrong, very wrong…
"God no.. It can't be!!" You shrieked and letting out a blood-curdling scream.
WHATS HAPPENING?!?!
Five seconds later the door burst open and in marched your father, Lucius, Blaise, Flint, your mum and Narcissa. Both Lucius and your father with their wands raised and an alarmed look on everyone’s faces.
"What is it?!" Lucius demanded looking round your room expecting a dementor to pop out.
"THERES NO TV, STEREO OR WALL SOCKETS!" You yelled.
Your father sighed and lowered his wand.
"No what?!" Lucius asked looking baffled.
"TV its a sort of muggle device. The girls where very fond of it back at home." Your father explained. Lucius looked pretty disgusted.
Your father raised his wand and pointed it to a Yucca plant standing near the loveseats. Quickly the Yucca transformed into a wide screen TV.
"That'll have to do for now." Your father said looking down at your 6 inch heels with a raised eyebrows.
Your cheeks quickly began to redden.
"Thanks Dad!" You cried quickly trying pushing everyone out.
A couple of floors below, you heard another deafening scream signalising Alexa had discovered the lack of electronics in her room. You grinned as your father sighed leading a still very baffled Lucius out of your room.
"Don't forget honey, dinners at eight. Dress nicely." Your mother said in a soft voice as she and the rest of the Ghostbusters gang left.
You sighed as you collapsed on your comfortable bed.
Dress nicely? I’ve never had to dress up for dinner! Oh why am I here? How can Mum and Dad be friends with them?! Its so obvious their deatheaters with their snotty remarks about muggle things and they way they flash there cash about! Just look at this place, they're loaded! How can Mum put up with them? I thought she hated people like that.. and Dad's meant to be fighting deatheaters not dinning with them! And what’s all this crap about 'not yet knowing about our past'?
Your head began to ache with all the questions and confusion that was clouding it. You shut your eyes and spread yourself out deciding to relax for a while.
You accidentally fell asleep. Once you awoke you looked across at your alarm (battery run and bought buy your mother. Probably also charmed to keep beeping until you got up out of bed.)
Seven thirty?! Bloody hell!! How long have I been sleeping?!duh tone.
"Yeah I know that! Father said something about the Velvet's finally being able to come back to our side and staying for Christmas but I had no idea he meant you!" Draco cried.
"What?? Velvet's? Our side?" You blurted completely confused.
"Well it looks like this is going to be an excellent Christmas." Draco said smirking wildly as his eyes skimmed down to your body.
You followed his eyes and saw he was staring at your purple bra and matching French knickers.
"AHH!" You squealed leaping around. Quickly your picked up a pointy stiletto and began whacking him with the heel.
"Get out! Get out! Get out you perverted leech!" You yelled frantically.
"Ouch! I was- ouch! Ah stop it! I was onl-" Draco stumbled taken back by your actions and managed to slam the door shut looking you inside your wardrobe.
"I only came to tell you dinner is in 5 minutes!" He cried opening the door and popping his head round but quickly slamming it shut when he saw the shoe hurtle towards the wall just inches away from his face.
Damn boy.. 5 MINUTES?!
You grabbed the closest dress you could and shoved it on, quickly you walked back into you bedroom glad Draco had finally disappeared. You glanced into your mirror and frowned as you saw the dress was slightly revealing since the top half was a bit too tight and made your chest look like it was about to burst through the material.
You shrugged and walked towards your dresser noticing there was about 200 new beauty products spread out across it. You quickly picked up a random perfume and began dousing yourself in it. You grabbed some red lipstick and amazed yourself at how delicately you had applied it while in such a rush. You dusted some blush across your cheekbones and stabbed yourself in the eye with the mascara brush.
"Ouch!" You moaned looking at your watery red eye.
There was knock on the door and you sprinted across the room, pulling it open.
"You ready?" Came your sisters voice. She looked beautiful. Dressed in a green satin number that went perfectly with her dark tanned skin. Obviously she had already raided her new wardrobe just like yourself.
Mental note: Raid Alexa's wardrobe and make sure you take anything that will look better on yourself then her. Bwahahaha!
You looked down at your own dress and then back at hers feeling slightly stupid standing next to her.
"You look fine now come on!" She cried grabbing your wrist and dragging your through the endless corridors. You where pretty glad she had come to get you since you would have already gotten lost and probably turn up to dinner 3 days later starved and clinically insane.
Finally you both clopped down the marble stairs of the main hall and together you walked across the ground floor until you reached the dining room. Alexa opened the door and you both walked in.
"Sorry were late." Alexa said as she seated herself between Blaise and Flint, opposite Draco. You seated yourself between Draco and Lucius, who was sat at the head of the table.
"No problem girls we haven't been served yet." Your father smiled warmly.
You glanced round the dining room. It was very big and quite dark. The walls were painted a dark maroon with green trims and the carpet was a navy blue. There were a couple of paintings hanging on the walls and a miniature statue of a man with one hand raised holding some sort of cup with a snake entwined with his arm and body. You then looked round at the table until your eyes fell across Draco who was staring at you very weirdly. You raised an eyebrow and began nibbling on a bit of bread.
I'm bloody starving! Where’s the food?!
Suddenly you really missed the Hogwarts dinners and how quickly they appeared.
Finally about 10 houseelves entered the room hands full with steaming hot plates. You thanked one of them who set down a plate full with roasted chicken, potatoes, rich gravy and a couple other vegetables. Quickly you all began to tuck in.
Your father and Lucius immediately began talking in hushed voices, obviously something to do with business. While your mother and Narcissa began giggling and gossiping.
This meant you and the rest of the ‘children’ where going to have to start your own conversation.
“So Blaise, tell me how long have you known Draco for?” Alexa asked flicking her hair, fluttering her eyelashes and smiling suggestively at him. She was obviously trying to seduce him.
“Er.. Well.. Erm..” He rambled trying desperately hard not to look down at her cleavage.
You gritted your teeth, you had already told Alexa that Blaise was off limits but obviously she didn’t care.
A fork darted across your lap and landed under your chair distracting you from your thoughts.
“Oops! Sorry could you get that for me?” Draco asked staring at the fork under your chair.
You sighed as you bent down to pick it up noticing Draco’s eyes following you closely then dart down to the front of your dress, he even edged a bit closer in his seat to watch you bend down. Flint had also sat up in his seat trying to get a better view. You began to blush a deep red and quickly picked up to fork and slammed it on the table causing Draco to smirk and Flint and Blaise to crack up laughing.
“Isn’t it just wonderful how well the children are getting on?” Your mother beamed down the table at you all.
“Yes, the boys can barely contain their excitement.” Lucius laughed causing Blaise and Draco to actually redden a tiny bit.
“I think now would be the perfect time for us to discuss everyone’s favourite topic.” Your father smiled dabbing at his mouth with his napkin.
“Oh no Malcolm, please not over dinner!” Your mother begged setting her knife and fork down.
“Nonsense Izy, now would be the perfect time to tell them both.”
“Tell us what?” You demanded already confused.
“Shut up Madison! Don’t you remember the letter Dad sent us? Telling us he had something very important to tell us?” Your sister hissed as she turned back to listen to your father.
Of course! The little secret they had been keeping, what on earth could it be? Surely it must have something to do with them both becoming so chummy with Narcissa and Lucius. It must be pretty important since Mum looks like she’s about to burst!
“You see pumpkins, we haven't been entirely straight with you for all these years."
"With what?" You interrupted.
"Shh darling, let me finish. Right well as I was saying, we haven't been entirely honest with you.. Oh I don't know how to put this!" He sighed loosening his collar looking extremely uncomfortable.
"Just tell us dad, It can't be that bad!" You said smiling as you grabbed his hand and gave it a light squeeze across the table.
"Your right, I'll give it to you straight.. Okay…I'm not really an Auror and I never have been. Our second name isn't really Claris, its Velvets. It was all just a disguise to keep the Ministry from getting suspicious. I'm a deatheater and I work for The Dark Lord." Cue mouths dropping and plates scraping.
The whole room fell silent and stared at your father.
Your whole body seemed to have frozen. You sat glued to your seat, your eyes blazing into your fathers. He gave you a weak smile. Suddenly you burst out laughing.
"AHAHAHA!! You really had me going there! Velvet and deatheaters. AHAHAHA! This is some kind of joke right?" You cried mildly hysterical.
"Look girls, I know this must be hard to take in at first but I assure you. This is no joke. I've been working as a spy in the Ministry for years now. We would have told you sooner but you where both so young and we know you wouldn't have taken it well. People would have found out!"
Its not true! It can’t be..
"How can you be working for him?! Its not true! Do you even know what he does?! He tortures and kills innocent muggles, even children and babies! FOR FUN!" Your sister yelled slamming her fists down onto the table. Everyone sat staring at her obviously not wanting to get involved with your family argument. Even Crabbe and Goyle had stopped stuffing their faces full to listen.
"Deatheaters are vile, evil disgusting creatures! Their the scum of the earth!! You can‘t be one!!" You cried. At this Lucius cleared his throat a little.
"How can you be one?! Your not! I know your not! I've been to the Ministry with you tons of times. Everyone knows you there, you know them! Your friends with them!!”
"Well yes, listen years ago I was a well known deatheater, the Ministry began to get suspicious of me so I joined them to make them happy. Ever since then I've basically been an undercover deatheater telling The Dark Lord anything important that goes on in the Ministry." Your dad sighed.
"But dad! You don't understand, Voldermorts EVIL! He kills muggles! Doesn't that mean anything to you?! What about Mum? She’s a muggle!" You shrieked pointing a finger to her across the table. Everyone turned to stare at her. All through the argument she had surprisingly stayed very quiet.
"I'm not a muggle." She said calmly looking at you and your sister.
"What? But you told us you where! You can't do magic." Alexa cried confused.
"I know, I know I did. Look your father and I have been doing a lot of lying, but only to protect you! To protect our family." Your mother cried lowering her eyes.
"To protect our family?! You don't give a damn about us! Neither of you do! If you did you wouldn't have lied to us. You wouldn't have kept secrets from us for all these years! And what are you if your not a muggle?" Your sister demanded.
"I’m elvin." Your mother sighed.
The room went completely silent, no one dared to say a word. Except Flint.
"Er.. is desert ready?" He asked sheepishly.
"Look you two! Were sorry, but everything we've done was for the best! And we are followers of the great lord, one of his closest as well. And there’s nothing you can really de except welcome this all ." Your father said quite proud about being Voldemorts closest follower.
"On the same level as us of course." Lucius couldn't help but add in. He soon shut up when he saw Narcissa's face.
I bet they both already knew about this all!!!! Complete strangers know more about our family’s past then I do!!!
You couldn't believe what they where telling you. But how could you? They where your parents, you trusted them. And for them to turn around and tell you your whole life was one big lie was.. well just heartbreaking.
"We trusted you." You sobbed tears spilling down your cheek.
Your mother looked down and started fiddling with her wedding ring guiltily, while your father just stared at you.
"Were sorry but there’s nothing we can do about it now. Oh and the Dark Lords coming tomorrow afternoon to welcome us back. And Lucius and Narcissa are holding a party in a few days to celebrate the return of the Velvets. And of course to celebrate Christmas."
Your heard skipped a beat. Voldermort?! Coming here?! How could they expect you to just take this all in?! As much as you hated it, weirdly enough it did all sort of make sense. You now knew why your mother and father where friends with the Malfoys. Why your family seal had a V in it instead of a C. Why your parents where so secretive about certain topics. But one thing you didn't get was how your mother could have gone along with all this. Deatheater's wives were trophy wives. Something your mother deeply despised in women. How could she be friends with one? And how could she be one herself?! It was just all to much to handle.
"I hate you. I hate you both." Your sister said in a low voice.
"How could you do this to us?! How can you be on the same side as him? When you brought us up to HATE him! Your nothing but liars!" She screamed as she smashed a plate and stormed out. Leaving your mother feeling terribly guilty and your father with his head in his hands. He slowly looked up at you. His long sooty eyelashes heavy from lack of sleep.
"Your not mad at us are you pumpkin?" He asked risking a slight smile.
"Mad? Oh no of course I'm not mad, I mean my whole life has turned out to been nothing but one big fat lie, my parents aren't who they say they are and also serve satin. And now I’m forced to accept it all and meet the devil himself tomorrow and have dinner with him! And then I’m suppose to celebrate it all at a party! HOW COULD I POSSIBLY BE MAD?!" You screamed as you jumped up, making your seat fall to the floor and charge out of the room. Leaving a very shocked Draco, Blaise and Flint, a slightly hungry Crabbe and Goyel, an excited Narcissa who seemed to be loving all this drama and a glaring Lucius.
"I told you not to tell them over dinner! For God‘s sake Malcolm! Did you actually expect them to take this all it with welcoming hands? You can be so insensitive a times!" You heard your mother snap as you slammed the dining room door shut.
Fuming you stormed thought the house then ran up the stairs making sure to stomp your feet extra hard. You ran through long corridors only stopping to breath. You soon noticed you where completely lost. Angrily you leaned against the closest wall breathing heavily as tears flooded down your cheeks. You blinked hard trying to stop the tears from blurring your vision.
After about 10 whole minutes of trying to find your way, you passed a familiar looking painting. You carried on walking down the hall and finally you found your room. You flung the door open and stormed in heading straight to the bathroom. You walked over to the bathtub and quickly ran the taps making hot water pour in. You grabbed as many products as you could possibly fit into your hands and poured them all into the water watching as bubbled began to emerge and delicious smells teased your nostrils. You walked out of the bathroom and into your walk in wardrobe where you grabbed some warm Pjs, bed socks and underwear. Your Pj bottoms where long and baby blue while your extra baggy shirt had a picture of Johnny Depp on it in black and white. You brought them back into the bathroom and quickly slipped your dress and underwear off then climbed into the tub. Sighing contently as the warm water caressed your tensed up body.
You had bin in their for at least 40 minutes and your skin was begging to go all wrinkly and shrivelled. You washed your hair with some weird branded shampoo that you had never heard of, but it promised to leave your hair silky soft and shiny. It also smelt absolutely delicious. You rinsed your hair then conditioned it and rinsed it again. Just as you where about to get out you heard a small pop. You turned towards the door and saw Draco standing their with quite a shocked expression.
“GET OUT!!!” You screamed frantically trying to cover yourself but realising there where so many bubbles it would be impossible for him to get a good look at you anyway.
“What? I.. Er.. I didn-” He stuttered.
“JUST GET OUT!” You yelled throwing the closest object you could find which happened to be a bar of soap.
“Ahh!” He cried as the soap hit him square on the head. He quickly stumbled to get to the door and ran out slamming it shut behind him.
You let out a frustrated groan and timidly climbed out the tub quickly grabbed a towel wrapping it round yourself. You quickly dried off and slipped your underwear, Pjs and socks on. You then wrapped a towel round your dripping wet hair. You pulled the drain then walked out of your bathroom and back into your room, where you found Draco standing by your dresser holding a mascara brush and sniffing it.
“What do you want?” You snapped folding your arms. He quickly span around with the mascara still in his hands and a surprised look on his face.
“I er.. I just wanted to see if you where alright! I didn’t know you’d be in the bath otherwise I wouldn’t have come in!! Honest!” Draco cried looking a bit scared. He probably thought you’d chuck another bar of soap at him.
“Well usually when people are in the bathroom and the doors shut It means there doing something privet!” You shouted in a duh tone.
“And I’m perfectly fine! Why? Did dad ask you to come up here and check on me since he was too busy discussing ways to kill muggles to do it himself?” You snapped glaring at him. Draco looked quite taken back.
“No. I came because I wanted to see if you where alright.” He said quietly.
Your eyes softened and you felt your heart do a little flutter.
He actually came here to see if I was alright?!
“Oh, well I’m.. I’m fine thanks.” You said quietly tears beginning to well up in your eyes. You quickly blinked trying to stop them from falling, as you didn’t want to cry in front of Draco but instead they fell down your cheeks.
Draco looked alarmed as he saw the tears leak from your eyes. Obviously he didn’t know how to handle crying teenage girls and didn’t really want to be anywhere near one.
“Oh God.” He muttered.
You didn’t know what had come over you. You thought you had done all your crying outside in the hallway but obviously your mind had different ideas. You knew it was stupid, but you where so touched by Draco actually caring about how you felt and so annoyed about your parents that all your emotions had f*cked up and were creating mayhem.
Slowly Draco walked over to you and wrapped his arms around you. You sobbed into his shoulder shaking slightly.
Soon your sobs turned into noisy sniffles and hiccups. Draco pulled away from you and reached a finger up to your cheek stroking it softly.
“Thanks.” You hiccupped as you wiped your runny nose.
“For what?” Draco asked staring into your eyes making your tummy knot up.
“Coming to see how I was.” You smiled.
Draco smirked at you and sat down on your creamy white sofa.
“What is that thing?!” He demanded pointing towards your wide screen TV.
“It’s a TV!” You cried outraged that he didn’t actually know. He stared back at you completely clueless.
“Television?”
“Tele what?!”
“Look I’ll show you.” You sniffed as you sat down next to him on the sofa wiping your runny nose once again.
You picked up the remote and turned on the TV, switching through a couple of channels until you stopped at Spongebob Squarepants.
“See TV?” You said slowly.
Draco stared at the screen open mouthed watching the little cartoon characters run around.
Clearly he is not quite in this century..
