The Bouquet
Chapter One
The Dream
Disclaimer: The characters belong to JKR. I only play with them.
I was walking down a hall of mirrors, seeing my past and some of my future.
I saw Harry and Ron in a compartment strewn with candies from the trolley, Ron up-chucking slugs in my defense, Lupin turning into a ware wolf, Harry becoming the tri-wizard champion. Sirius' death breaking Harry's heart and helping him figure out the clues to the horcruxes.
Then I see what could be my future. An old lady surrounded by cats and scarred from the war, a teacher, in front of students at Hogwarts, a mother with brown and red hair. (That one was a little blurry.) Then I see a child with blonde hair and that gorgeous pointed face. Wait, what?
I woke with a start. Why was that clearer than the other? This did not make sense. Then I remember where I am, room 321, East Wing, Malfoy Manor.
I was placed here when Voldemort ruined my house and family. Malfoy had decided to join our side and agreed to house me for Snape's sake. (Why Snape wanted me here I will never know.) Harry and Ron were against it, they wanted me at the Burrow with them. Ginny still comes to visit me, she's a good friend.
Malfoy had a cousin over once; she was really nice, being a Malfoy and all. She talked to me and gave me advice on how to cope with Draco. A knock rang on my door.
"Granger, breakfast is ready." Malfoy half-way shouted through the oak door. I open it finding him wearing a very business-like suit. I'm still in my pajamas. He cocked an eyebrow at me. "You aren't going to wear that to brekky, are you?" I looked down.
"Who is here?" I ask spinning around, walking back into my room.
"My cousins, the one that likes you and the one you talk to." He said rolling his eyes. Why does he always have to do that? It makes me feel retarded.
"So it's a formal or relaxed Brekky?" I question, going through all of the clothes in my wardrobe Malfoy forced me to buy.
"Relaxed formal, we are talking about Riley's wedding. She can't wait." He said throwing his hands up. "Her fiancé is coming too." Now there was a scary thought. I had never met her fiancé but if he was anything like the Malfoy senior, I would explode.
An elf appeared at the door, "Master Malfoy, your family is here sir, with a strange man in a hat."
"Thank you. Tell them to meet us in the dinning room." Malfoy told the elf which nodded its head, ears flopping. He turned to me. "I suggest the blue jumper with the khaki pants. I'll see you in the dinning room." With that Malfoy walked out of my room.
I pulled out the khakis and the blue jumper and wondered why he suggested them. I agreed though and put them on. Braided my hair over my shoulder and applied minimum make-up before I went downstairs.
