Hoping for a very Long Time

Vanessa Summers climbed the tree outside her house that led to her bedroom window. It was late and she was trying to be quiet as she snuck back into her room. After she stealthily climbed in she glanced at the clock noting it was 3:00 a.m. Although she was out late she didn't really do much, she was just bored and walked around, caught a few drinks at some bars, and walked some more.

She sighed it was only the second week of summer and it already sucked. THERE WAS NOTHING TO DO!!! Well she thought that was probably an exaggeration but without her friends nothing really seemed like fun.

She walked past her dresser and saw the picture. It was her favorite one, it had all three of her best friends and her, and it was right after fourth year once they had finished their O.W.L. exams with flying colors.

First she looked at Cynthia, a pale girl with soft blonde hair and blue eyes. Cynthia, or Thia as Vanessa called her, was unbelievably book smart; she could rattle off facts like guys could sports statistics. Thia was so smart she qualified for a wizarding exchange program. Thia was going to England to stay with a nice family and attend her sixth year at Hogwarts instead of the American Wizarding School at which the four girls had met.

Next Vanessa's eyes slowly drifted over to the next girl, Alexis also known as Lexi. Lexi was dark with chocolate eyes and wavy brown hair. She was the sweetest girl anyone could know, often times this lead her to be made fun of for being too much like a six year old. She loved everything and everyone she truly seemed to believe the world was made of rainbows and butterflies and she wanted to spread it to everyone. Vanessa hoped she would still stay this way after this summer. Lexi's parents were going through a nasty divorce and after it started getting violent they agreed to send Lexi to their distant relatives, the Longbottoms, till things got settled.

Vanessa's eyes continued over to the next girl, Brooklyn or Lyn for short. She had beautiful red hair a pale face and stunning almond green eyes. Lyn was everything Vanessa was and wasn't, like the yin to her yang. Lyn was smart, beautiful and helped Vanessa pull off some of the best pranks. Lyn was always levelheaded to Vanessa's short temper. She always was there to help see the practical aspects needed for whatever revenge Vanessa cooked up. Yet she too had abandoned Vanessa this summer. Lyn was an orphan and apparently her godfather finally came out of the woodwork to claim her so a happy Lyn packed up her stuff and moved in with him.

Vanessa didn't even bother looking at herself and turned the photo over to see Thia's elegant writing:

"To Nessa,

Congrats on the O.W.L.S!!!"

Nessa sighed and decided to finally get some sleep.

Early the next morning Annabell, Nessa's foster mother, was banging on her bedroom door very loudly.

"Get up! Just because you were out late last night doesn't mean you can sleep the day away. I'm sick and tired of you keeping all hours of the night we're moving in with a family friend I can't give you the discipline you need anymore." Annabell finished.

Nessa got dressed in a stupor, confused at her guardian's behavior. Opening her door and walking toward the living room she located her foster mother's change in attitude. There sitting in a reclining chair was Lucius Malfoy.

He was a "friend" of her foster mother who would every once in a while stop by and tell Anna how horrible of a child I was and that I should come live with him and he'd straighten me out. Apparently this time he finally convinced her. Yet Nessa wasn't deaf as to why he would really come around, she heard those screams from Anna's bed room on nights when he visited. Ness rolled her eyes she really didn't like Lucius she found him stuck up and obnoxious.

"Hello again Vanessa," he said with a twisted smirk, "if you would kindly get dressed I'll send for some house elves to get your things and move them to your new room." His smirk became even more twisted on the word 'new'.

Nessa's eyes bounced back and forth between Lucius and Annabell, after determining that this was really going to happen she sighed and resigned herself to getting ready.

After finishing getting ready she walked out and joined Annabell and Lucius who were both panting and slightly out of breath.

"Splendid, well we should get a move on." Lucius began. "I assume you know how to apparate?"

Nessa nodded. Lucius smiled and began telling them were to apparate to.

After making it to the huge Malfoy Manor Nessa slowly trudged up the huge path. Mentally she decided that she was going to try to make everyone's lives here a living hell. If she was forced to stay here against her will they were going to regret it … a lot.

Draco Malfoy loved his morning swims; well at least as much as a Malfoy could love anything that is. He had just finished and decided to walk back up to his room to put actual clothes on. His whole body was wet and he was leaving little puddles of water where he walked just as he walked past the front door it slammed open.

Draco looked in the door way to see his father there with two girls he didn't recognize. One was older, about his mother's age, with medium black hair, a pale face, brown eyes and a surprisingly rocking body for one that old. The other girl, however, stopped him in his tracks. She had to be around his age, she was delicately built, and she had strawberry blonde hair that went a little past her shoulders, and shocking green eyes. She was a little bit shorter than he was she had a small waist that seemed well toned underneath that tight shirt. She had a nice rack and luscious curves. He was going to like this girl, he was going to like her a lot he could tell.

"Stop standing there with your mouth hanging open like an idiot and put some damn clothes on" His father barked at him.

With that Draco slowly began climbing up the stairs wondering how long this new girl was going to stay here, and hoping it was a very long time.
