I sat outside in under the willow tree where I knew they wouldn't find me, taking yet another drag off my cigarette trying desperately to calm myself. I could hear mother dearest yelling for me but I ignored her, dreading this evening. Maybe if I stay here they won't notice I'm missing, I think hopefully. "Miss Lizzy, madame is throwing a fit looking for you" my house elf says appearing out of thin air. How does she always know where I am? Sighing I finish the last of my cigarette and stand up preparing myself for what was coming. I walk into the house and mother dearest instantly comes rushing over. "Where have you been?! You're not even dressed yet! Pathetic, what am I supposed to do with you! You disgrace our name, really, we are a well respected family! You will do well to remember that and not embarrass me!" She screamed while stomping around the kitchen. My father walked in next and you could see he regretted it. "Will you do something about her!" Mother screamed before stomping out of the room. Sighing my father walked over to me. "Lizzy dear, you know we love you but don't you think its time you start acting like a Wright? You know He has his eye on you, and your mother has big plans. Lizzy darling I know this isn't what you want but in life we don't get what we want. We do what is best for our family and our lord. You are 15 now, going into your fifth year, its time to start showing your support." I sigh putting my head down. "I understand papa." He smiles. "Good, now that we've settled that, I believe Jessibelle is waiting for you upstairs. She arrived not too long ago. Her parents and us are heading over now, please don't be too long you know how your mother gets." He says with a smirk. He turns to leave but pauses halfway out. "Don't forget your mother has arranged for you to sing for our lord tonight." I sigh I almost forgot. "Yes papa." I say pretending to be excited. He walks out of the kitchen and I head up to my room. That's me Elizabeth Marie Wright, up and coming star of the family. As everyone constantly points out I am my mother's child, I got my height and my crystal blue eyes from my father. Don't get me wrong I'm not a giant, but I'm not five foot nothing like my mother. I stand proud at five foot six, and as my best friend Jazzi loves to point out from her height of 5`9 that its nothing to be proud of. Anyway everything else I inherited from my mother, my curly red hair, freckles, amazing physique. Unfortunately I also inherited my mother's stubbornness and anger, making me quite the force to be reckoned with. Jazz I says I should just focus that energy on what my parents want me to do, but to be honest I could care less. They want to be death eaters and worship Him, by all means have a ball, but I want more. I'm greedy too in case you couldn't tell. I want to have my own life, make my own decisions. I open the door to my room and there she is, Jazzi. "Took you long enough, how bad did you piss her off this time?" She asks laughing. Jessibelle Green, my best friend since we were infants. Tall, skinny, and drop dead gorgeous. Long black hair, enchanting honey colored eyes, and an attitude that was all my doing. If our parents weren't such good friends I think they would have taken Jazzi far away from me a long time ago. "You should have seen her Jazzi, what am I going to do with you blah blah blah disgrace blah blah blah" I say waving my hands around imitating my mother. We both start laughing and I flop back on my king size canopy bed. "Can we just not go?" I whine. "He is going to be there Lizzy, don't go pissing Him off I still need my best friend" she says nervously. "I know but I don't want to deal with that prat and pretend to be nice to everyone" I say sighing. "We can piss the prat off like we usually do! Now bring out our options!" She says excitedly. "Sasha the dresses please!" You say loudly and your house elf shows up with a rack of dresses. "Here you are miss. Sasha thinks the green one is perfect for miss" the elf says bowing. "Oh yeah you are wearing it!" Jazz I says holding it up. I can't deny it was beautiful, dark green strapless dress with a lace cut out between the breasts that wrapped into black gem designs that ran down the side to my hip. A slit that ran up the center to mid thigh so the dress would flow while walking. I paired it with a pair of black strapy heels and pulled my hair up so curls fell loosely here and there. "Miss looks stunning" Sasha says with big eyes. I giggled and bowed she always made me feel better. "Sasha you are the best" I tell her as she blushes. Jazz I chose a deep purple halter gown which complemented her porcelain skin perfectly. "Ready?" She asked. I nodded heading down to the drawing room. Standing by the fireplace I grab a handful of floo powder, taking a deep breathe I step in. "Malfoy manner!" I shot tossing the powder.
