Chapter one:
Draco sat on his bed reading the letter pansy had just sent him,it was the easter holidays and pansy never failed to send him letter after letter, dont get him wrong draco liked her ,she was the male version of him but she could get a little bit too much . He walked over to his set of draws and placed the letter inside along with the hundreds of other letters she had sent him .He walked back over to his bed and lay down , he heard elf elves scurrying around outside in the halls , his mother had told him that they were expecting a visitor and the elves were preparing one of the spare rooms a few doors away from his own .
His mother had told him a bit about the visitor , she was the daughter of bellatrix and rodolphus lestrange and his cousin , he had never met her and she had hardly ever been spoken about , all he knew was she went to beauxbatons all her school life but since her mother had broken out from azkaban she had left to live with her for a while and would be attending hogwarts , but untill then she would be staying at the malfoy manor with her mother untill school started again.
A loud knock at the door brought him out of his thoughts, he looked over to his bedroom door debating whether to go down , he decided against it and stayed in his room.
" Ahhhhh...my dear sisiter " narcissa said greeted her sister with a hug
" sister ..this is my daughter brande " bellatrix smiled looking over her shoulder to the younger girl
narcissa followed her sisters eyes to the girl...she was beautiful very much like her sister, dark hair long and curly , dark eyelashes but with deep green eyes the opposite of bella's dark ones, she was petie but not with out curves , the girl smiled up at narcissa , dimples forming in her cheeks .
"hello auntey" she spoke her voice sweet and high
narcissa smiled " hello brande its a pleaure to meet you and to have you here ...you look very much like your mother"
"yes..she has the look of the black family indeed" bellatrix smiled still looking at her daughter
Brande smiled again " you have a beautiful home " she said looking round
" why thank you , we are very proud of it " narcissa smiled looking around the room " well anyway come come" she said walking over to a chair facing a settee.
she sat on the chair where bellatix follwed but sat on the sofa ...patting the side of it for brande to join.
" how have you been cissy ? the family all good? " bella asked taking two glasses of one from the small oak table in the middle and passing one to brande
" iv been very good bella ...lucius is away for a few weeks, work and all " she smiled, and bellatiz nodded " and dracos...well i think hes up stairs ...maybe i should call him down " narcissa spoke mainly to her self .
" oh no dont burden the boy cissy ...the children will meet soon enough" bellrix said grabbing brandes hand and giving it a little squeeze.
narcissa watched the two ...she very rarely seen bella so nice even to her , she smiled lightly to her self .
" i bet your delighted to have your mother back ...i mean its been years " narcissa asked
" i hardly remember her " brande laughed looking at her mother " but yes its great to be here with her ...my life was happy but never really complete yano?"
" yes i know " narcissa smiled " and you seem very happy bella ?"
" oh yes cissy...everything going just brilliantly ...the dark lord is back and will soon regain power , i have my beautiful daughter back and im out of that dreadful place" bella's nose scrunched up thinking of azkaban
After about half an hour of talking and drinking fine wine narcissa called one of their many house elves to get draco .
" im sure you and draco will get on swimmingly " narcissa said taking another sip of her wine
" oh im sure we will " brande smiled " be nice to have a cousin "
" yes...family is very important" narcissa said smiling lovingly at bella who gave the same smile back.
the door creaked open and a young man stood there
" mother?" he asked
" draco this here is your cousin brande " narcissa nodded towards brande
draco looked down at the small girl sipping on her wine , she stood up and smiled offering her hand out to him .
he slowly drew his eyes from hers and down to her small hand and placed his own in it and shook it lightly
" nice to meet you draco" brande said smiling , he noticed the dimples forming in her cheeks and looked slowly back into her deep green eyes.
" you too brande" he spoke quietly still keeping hold of her hand , still looking into her eyes.
" see there already getting on cissy " bellatirx screetched smiling
Brande pulled her hand away from his and turned to her mother smiling
" well draco why dont you go and show brande to her room you can get to know each other better"
" yes mother" draco said walking out the door into the hall , he looked over his shoulder to make sure she was follwing .
They walked up the stairs silently ..untill he came to stand outside a door , he turned to her looking directly into her eyes
" this is your room ..mines a few doors away so if you need anything im not far "
silence stood between the pair , they stood still looking at each other
" well " she laughed " we going in or should i sleep in the hall ?"
" ohhh...ermm...ye" draco blinked looking back at the door and opening it, he moved back slightly to let her through.
The room was beautiful...the walls were painted in cream and the furniture dark oak , she walked further into the room , taking a better look at the four poster oak bed , the sheets were a dark golden colour made of silk
" the bathroom is through that room " she turned to draco who was pointing to a door " and the other one is a walk in wardbrobe...mother thought you being a girl and all you would have a lot of clothes , she laughed at this and turned to him
" shes very right ...where are my cases actually"
" in the wardbrobe " he stated
" okie doke" she smiled and sat on the edge of the bed
draco jus stood there looking at her , he felt foolish but he realy didnt know what else to do
" you seem ...tense around me dear cousin " brande smiled
" i am not !" he stated angrily
" oooooooo" she laughed "someones cranky today "
he started at her .. his eyes filled with anger where as she jus smiled sweetly at him
" well ill leave you to get unpacked " he spoke quickly
she jumped off the bed and stood facing him
" dont leave me ..ill be bored " he turned to her , and there she stood her her eyes big and wide they reminded him of a puppy , and her lips had formed into a pout .
he looked at her and felt his heart began to bang faster as she walked over to him , she grabbed his hand lightly , her fingers curling round his , she looked up at him her pout still formed on her lips " pleaseeeeeeee" she said her lips forming into a grin
" ok" he said quietly
" yayyy " she laughed...she walked over to the walk in wardbrobe " you my dear cousin can help me unpack "
he walked over to the small room and saw her sitting cross legged on the floor a case infront of her
" do i look like a house else" he asked rasing an eyebrow
she looked up at him quickly a small frown on her face...
" you really want me to answer that?" she asked looking back at her case and opening it
he was actually taken back...noone had spoken to him like before ... she was rude...sarcastic and ... beautiful ...no no not beautiful he thought, shes your cousin.
"OI" her voice had broke him out of his thoughts " are you going to help or not "
he looked at her a small smirk on his lips " not " he simply said and walked out the room, her mouth dropped and a smile formed on her face ..." no he did not" she laughed shaking her head before she continued unpacking.
truth be told he didnt want to leave ...he wanted to be in there with her .. just to be in her presence, he didnt know why, maybe it was because she was new and his cousin...but he couldnt let her think she had him wrapped around her little finger.. especially only a few minutes they'd met , he couldnt let anyone talk to him like that, he was after all a Malfoy.
