I sigh and I slump back in the back seat of my parent's car.
"Elizabeth, stop it." My mother says to me without looking at me. I roll my eyes and return to my phone conversation.
"It's so lame, Terra." I say to my best friend over the phone. "While they are leaving to Ireland for the winter, the place where I've always wanted to go, I have to stay with this snobby, stuck up kid Draco. And they know we don't get along."
"Aww man, Liz that sucks so bad." Terra says back to me. "You brought like... books and movies and stuff, right?"
"Duh." I say to her. "And the family has a library the size of my house; I guarantee you that I will have read more than half the books after my stay. It's not like Draco and I are going to talk or anything."
"Elizabeth, stop complaining!" My mother snaps at me. I stick my tongue out at her and Terra laughs from the other end.
"Well, I hope it's not as bad as you think it's gonna be." She says to me. "Besides, the weather's different over where you are now, it'll be amazing. Just pay attention to that instead."
"Alright." I say to her as the mansion comes into view. "Hey Ter, I'm here so I'll probably talk to you later on today or something."
"Alright, try and have a good time, Liz." Terra says back to me.
"Ha, okay. Peace." I say to her.
She laughs and hangs up her phone.
My parents pull into the driveway and drop my things and I off and drive away. I look after them and then hear the extremely familiar elegant voice.
"Elizabeth!" Narcissa Malfoy, Draco's mother, says to me. She wraps me up in a hug and kisses my forehead. "You've grown so much in six years! How old are you now, seventeen?"
"In a month." I say back to her with a smile on my face as I pick up my bags. She smiles sweetly and claps her hands and a few house elves run over to my bags and take them from me and carry them inside. I laugh and look at Narcissa.
"I don't think I'll ever get use to magic." I tell her. She laughs and winks at me and we walk inside.
The house is exactly the same, just as huge as always. I stare around in awe and Narcissa walks over to me.
"Your things have been unpacked in your room." She says to me. "Do you remember where it's at?"
"Yes." I say back to her. "Where's Draco?"
"He's out with friends; he probably won't be home until later on tonight." She says back to me. I nod my head at her and walk up to my room.
I walk inside and look around in amazement. I room has beige and pink vintage flower wallpaper and a bed with burgundy sheets and furniture to match it. I look inside the drawers and see that all of my clothes are unpacked and all of my writing utensils and books are placed neatly on some shelves. I see my DVD's next to the books and I walk over to them and pick up "30 Days of Night."
I head downstairs until I get to one of the many family rooms and I put the DVD into the player. I sit down on the couch with a thick cotton blanket and watch as the lights in the room go off and the movie starts up.
About twenty minutes after the movie begins I hear someone walk into the room. I ignore them and continue to watch the movie, and then arms come crashing down on me.
