Dracona opened her eyes and looked out at her room at the emerald green trappings. She kicked off her silk duvet and moved her feet around on the floor to find her slippers. Dracona clicked her fingers and a short stumpy house elf apparated into the room.
"Can I help mistress?" The small creature asked
"Can you alert the Kitchens that I will want breakfast please Toad" Dracona asked as she looked down at the green skinned green eyed house elf.
"It is done mistress," the elf said and bowed graciously. "Incidentally your grandfather is here on his annual Hogwarts visit" Dracona groaned; Lucius Malfoy always came on the day they went to Hogwarts. Dracona stalked over to her wardrobe and withdrew some posh muggle clothes for the journey. She shrugged on a bottle green full sleeve T-shirt and a pair of skinny jeans. Dracona slipped on her emerald encrusted silver serpent pendant and left her room.
Dracona walked down the staircase down to the dining room where she saw her two brothers; Scopius Draco Malfoy, the oldest in his fourth year and Regulus Lucius Malfoy in his second year. Her mother; Astoria and her father Draco sat at one end of the table and her grandfather at the other end. Dracona focused her eyes on her grandfather. Lucius Malfoy, his blonde white hair tied back with a black ribbon Looked back at his only granddaughter. Dracona sat down at her place and her house elf materialised sheepishly next to her.
"Mistress Malfoy," Toad said, her eyes moist as if she had been crying "There are no more eggs"
Dracona glanced quickly at her grandfather.
"That's perfectly acceptable" Dracona said putting on a posh front for her grandfather. "I would like toast anyway"
Dracona glanced at her mother who gave her a quick smile. If Dracona had admitted she had wanted egg and bacon then Lucius would have made her beat the elf and Dracona didn't want to hurt Toad, she was kind of a friend. Dracona ate her toast in silence, she looked over at Toad who was standing next to Scorpius's elderly elf Butler and Regulus's elf Toothpick. Toad gave her a gracious smile that made Dracona fizz with energy; at least she could do some good.
Dracona excused herself from the table and went back to her room to find that everything was packed. Dracona clicked her fingers and Toad appeared.
"Mistress is so kind and gracious even when her grandfather is around" Toad said as she stood in her white pillowcase robe.
"Of course Toad," Dracona said as she sat down on her bed "you're my friend as well as my house elf"
"oh thank you mistress" Toad said happily
"but where's my wand?" Dracona asked as she looked around for the springy rowan with dragon heartstring core wand.
"Here mistress" Toad said as she gave Dracona the wand. Dracona took the wand from Toad grinned sheepishly
"what Toad?" Dracona asked noticing the elf's grin
"Toad made mistress a present" Toad said as she showed Dracona a bracelet of sorts. It was made out of a fork and a desert spoon that had been melted together at the tips of the prongs of the fork and the handle of the spoon, at the other end the spoon latched onto the handle of the fork so that there was a fluid circle of cutlery. Dracona noticed that there where objects melted into the metal including a small toy toad, her favourite green shoe from the dolls her grandfather had thrown away 5 years ago, a stray shard of green glass, a large green bead and a small green glass snake with its tail snapped off that used to live with about 30 others on the living room chandelier.
"Oh Toad it's beautiful!" Dracona said as she hugged the small mint green house elf. Dracona clipped the bracelet round her ankle
"thank you So much" Dracona said as she looked down at the now blushing house elf
"I'm going to miss you mistress" Toad said as she looked up at her with large tennis ball size eyes.
"And I'm going to miss you" Dracona said as she charmed her trunk to hover and began to move them out of the room and down the stairs and into the hallway
"you coming Toad?" Dracona asked as she closed the door. Toad apparated next to her on the other side
"No, I have to go back to the kitchens" Toad said solemnly
"I'll tell mum and dad to look after you"
"thank you mistress"
