Faith ran her fingers over the dress, feeling a bit awkward in it. It was a pale floral print, something a lot more conservative than she was used to. But Dick had picked it out for her, and she didn't want to disappoint him.
Looking up at him, she offered an uncertain smile. "I'm not sure that it's me."
"Nonsense. You look lovely. All the boys will be lining up to ask you out... at least, " He paused frowning a little bit. "Any of them left alive that is."
She sat down, grinning at him. "Hey now, who am I supposed to hook up with if you eat all the cute guys when you change?"
"I've been thinking about that, actually. While I know that arranged marriages have gone out of fashion, I want to introduce you to someone. Sort of an associate of mine, he's got a son about your age. I thought that maybe the two of you might hit it off pretty well. Here, have a cookie while I get in contact."
Biting into the cookie, a soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie with a glass of milk, Faith watched as Dick did something really strange looking. First, he started a fire in her mostly decorative fireplace. Then, he threw a handful of some powder into it, and it turned greenish. Next thing she knew, he was talking to a pale head floating in the fire. Looked like some woman, with pale hair piled on her head in some elegant updo that almost made Faith jealous.
"Well gosh, that's just unfortunate, Narcissa. What about your son? I was thinking about introducing him to my Faith, sort of seeing if they'll do nicely together. Never to soon to start planning for the future, you know." He sounded halfway between regretful and optomistic.
He turned around, smiling at Faith. "Narci's going to bring him right over. It seems that her husband wasn't quite thorough enough in his planning, and had a few consequences catch up to him. But their boy is just fine, and we're sure that he'll find meeting you very memorable."
Faith felt a flutter of nervousness go through her. "What if he doesn't like me? What's this guy like anyhow?"
Dick leaned back, chuckling a bit as he had a cookie. "His name is Draco Malfoy, and he's a rather promising young wizard. He's properly Dark, although he might have made an alliance with Voldemort, a rather unbalanced Dark Sorcerer that has a few problems with organization and weaknesses. Like I said, he's about your age, blond hair, gray eyes, hmm… I think he's gotten tall, and he's a tad bit arrogant."
"So, if he's a wizard, and his dad's a wizard, won't he be a bit miffed that I'm not magical?" Faith looked at Dick, feeling a lot more worried about meeting this guy than she wanted to admit. She didn't want to let it worry her, but it was.
"Don't be ridiculous, Faith. You're a Slayer, and while that isn't the same as a witch or wizard, it's still magical and pretty darn impressive all by itself. Gives you a resistance to a lot of spells, and of course, there's that Slayer strength of yours." He smiled at her, patting her hand reassuringly.
There was a sort of popping noise, and two people stepped out of the fireplace, a tall elegant woman in a pale green gown, and standing next to her was a rather hot guy. Short blond hair, pale eyes, this wicked smirk… Yeah, Draco looked good. It also looked like he knew it.
The woman gave Dick a hug and the sort of cheek kisses that you really only saw the rich pull off with any sort of class. She did it just right. "So good to see you again, Richard. Why don't we go catch up and let the children get better acquainted?"
He chuckled, offering her his arm. "That sounds just swell, Narci. We'll just go sit down, and Faith and Draco can talk. Now Faith, remember to be gentle."
Draco watched that with a sort of puzzled look. "Why should you have to be gentle with me? You don't even look like a witch."
Faith started laughing, leaning against the wall. "No, but I am a Slayer. I can kill demons with my bare hands, but it's more fun with knives."
"I thought that Slayers were supposed to be all…protect the world, kill the bad guys. Not very much fun." Draco looked a bit less arrogant, perhaps wondering if she might be able to kill him with her bare hands.
"I'm not much for following the rules. Besides, it's a lot more fun to work with Dick than to do the whole defend the helpless line. Better perks too." Faith smiled, wondering just how well acquainted they were supposed to get.
"So… could you really do it? Could you really kill a human being?" He looked fascinated.
"Yeah. I can, and have." Faith remembered the churning feeling when she'd killed Finch, how she'd freaked out. How it had gotten easier the second time. "It gets easier with practice."
"Sounds impressive. Maybe… You aren't so bad." He was smiling at her, a smile that said he was looking over the curves of her body, and liked what he saw.
"And you've got some potential. Pretty easy on the eyes too." Faith grinned at him, part of her contemplating all sorts of things they could do to get 'better acquainted', but she didn't think that Dick would be happy if they did those right now.
"So, what is there to do around here?" Draco looked at her, smiling a little bit.
"Not too much right now. Here, have a cookie. Things pick up a lot more after dark. I can show you around." Faith looked at him, her eyes half closed as she considered the possibilities.
"I'm looking forward to that." Draco's smile suggested all sorts of things he was looking forward to doing with her.
