Nothing Left to say
Chapter two
Samantha woke up early the next morning and decided on a nice long jog around the site. Pulling on comfortable clothes, she then did her long curly brown hair in a messy bun on her head and left her room. She wrote a quick note for her father and quietly walked in between the tents hoping not to wake anyone. She'd been sure, she saw a small dirtroad next to the campsite the day before and knew that would be the best place to start her run.
The next hour she spent exhausting herself, before turning back towards the camping. She loved the feeling of giving everything in a run like that. It somehow energised her.
When she came back, her father just entered the tent, fully dressed.
"You've only got one hour left before the game, you might want to get ready," he said and Samantha nodded before going into the shower.
On their way to the stadium people greeted Alessandro everywhere and it took Samantha a few moments to remember he had once lived here. He even went to Hogwarts, where he had met her mother. She smiled, her father relished in this attention. She knew he had been lonely in their old home. She just smiled politely at his old acquaintances and walked on. Suddenly her father stopped and she looked back to see the reason.
"Lucius!" he exclaimed and a tall blond man walked up to him. For a moment she had the horrific idea this was just an older version of Draco but quickly pushed the thought aside as her father beckoned her closer.
"This must be Samantha" Lucius said and she offered him her hand.
"Lucius Malfoy at your service" he said while pressing his lips to her hand. "Looks just like her mother doesn't she?" he asked her father and for a moment Samantha felt like ripping his eyes out. Who was he to say such a thing. Her mother had left and she did not want to look like her at all. Even if she did, she didn't need anybody reminding her father of such a woman. Alessandro however just laughed and agreed.
"She has her temper from my side of the family though, be careful what you say" he said jokingly and Lucius smiled while looking Samantha over as well. What was it with those men in England? Were the all going to check her out? See if she was good enough for their inner circle? But she kept her mouth shut and just smiled sweetly.
"My son might be able to show you around, introduce you to the right kind of people" Lucius said emphasising the words right kind and Samantha just nodded as she began walking again into the direction the stadium. She felt her temper rising. She was quite good at making the right kind of friends. She didn't need anyone's help. Even more so, she didn't like the way everyone kept measuring her, like they expected her not to be good enough.
"Where is that young fellow now, Lucius" Alessandro asked looking around for any sign of him.
"Already at our seats with my wife. She forgot her wand however and insisted I would go get it for her." Lucius replied and Alessandro just nodded in understanding. Samantha just raised her eyebrow, she insisted? And he was her personal lackey? If his son was anything like him, he might just be good enough for her. She could always use someone to do her chores.
"Sam!" a voice called out and the girl looked behind her to see Neil Cusik walk towards her. He was the keeper of her quidditchteam back at Kristallion and she smiled as he ran closer. Her personal lackey, so to speak. He never denied her anything, but she had long ago decided to have a friend, more then a slave.
"How are you, mister Aquilo" he said, but didn't wait for a reply as he pulled Samantha into a hug.
"Are you sure to let her breath" Alessandro asked lightly and Neil laughed.
"Always sir, she's no good to us dead" he stated, trying to look serious and Samantha laughed. Neil and Samantha walked together the rest of the way, talking about their summers. Though she had been home, anticipating the coming move, he had been travelling Europe with his parents. They had plenty to talk about.
As they came closer to their seats Samantha was also greeted by Nicole Tanner, a chaser in her team and her closest friend. Her father had said his goodbyes to Lucius by now and joined his daughter as she sat between her friends while he took a seat next to the father of Nicole.
They had been quite late to arrive and as the teams came flying in, everyone stood up from their seats to cheer everyone on. They jumped and screamed, not even sure who they were cheering for anymore but it didn't matter.
When the game ended they made their way back down. Downstairs Alessandro told his daughter to look out for Lucius and his son. But the moment she turned to look at the faces in the crowd she was met by blond tresses of Draco a few feet away from her.
"Great...just what I needed" Samantha said and both Nicole and Neil looked up.
"who?" Nicole asks curious.
"the blonde, I met him yesterday and we didn't really bond," Samantha said laughing slightly, as Nicole rolled her eyes at her.
"Sweety you rarely do," Neil stated and Samantha looked at him slightly appalled.
"I did with you, didn't I Neil?"
"I am different. Nobody can deny the loveliness of me" He said batting his eyelashes only to get a smack on the head by Nicole.
"sure thing honey" Samantha laughed before looking back to her father.
He waved at her and pointed to Lucius. She followed his eyes and saw him standing with a pale and skinny woman. Saying goodbye to her friends, she and her father made their way to the man and woman.
"Ah there you are, my son will be here in a minute. This is my wife Narcissa" He stated and Alessandro greeted her as an old friend while Samantha shook her hand politely. Narcissa seemed to have a constant glare on her face. And her handshake was far to strong for such a frail woman. Suddenly she understood the power she held. Lucius simply would not be able to say no. For a while she listened to the adults talking politics and she just looked around aimlessly, deep in her own little dream world.
"There you are" the loud voice of Lucius said bringing her back to the real world again.
"This is my son, Draco Malfoy" Lucius stated and Samantha snapped her eyes up in shock. She met the cold grey eyes with rage searing through her own green ones.
" WHAT!" he exclaimed. "you cannot be serious dad, she's like some devil or something." He added. Samantha just looked in shock, was she hearing this correct? Draco is lucius' son!
"You're his son?" She then exclaimed in shock and disgust.
"so you've met before then?" Alessandro asked a bit confused.
"yes he is the idiot who bumped into me yesterday."
"what! I believe you were the one that bumped into me" Draco said.
"dad you're not serious letting this boy show me around right. I mean I will have to deal with him and that annoying brat who keeps following him with her annoying voice. Whining like a 5 year old."
"Who does she mean?" Narcissa asked.
"Pansy mother." Draco admitted grudgingly and she swore she could hear Lucius chuckle.
"Can't see how she could stand him" Samantha whispered but her father heard.
"now that's enough. You two will have to find a way to make this work , because you're stuck with each other." he said, Lucius standing next to him nodding in agreement, while Narcissa looked like she was about to strangle Samantha for insulting her son.
"now lets go and get something to eat and we will meet after lunch again so Lucius and I can do a little catching up and you two can get to know one another." Her father now said and Samantha was just raging with anger. Glaring a little more at Draco and getting that favor returned, she stalked off towards her tent.
She just knew this had to be the worst day of her life. And something told her, this was not the only day she'd be forced to spend with him.
Seething with anger she turned on her music, hoping to scream away her feelings. But as the music began she was disappointed. In a way. The lyrics did nothing to soothe her, if anything the enraged her even more. She was just a girl. Reminding her once more, this world they live in, tried to push them down.
