Chapter Two: The Arrival
"Ginevera dear, It is so great to see you!" Narcissa exclaimed! She rushed over to where Ginny was standing and hugged her. Ginny inwardly flinched. She hated being touched. With a big family you would think she loved hugs and feelings, and all that comes along with that but she didn't. This was probably the first time she had been hugged since the war.
"Uhm..yeah you too" Ginny replied not wanting to seem rude. Narcissa let go, and stood back to appraise Ginny.
"So…where should I put my stuff?" Ginny asked holding up her duffel bag.
"Oh right. Your things, how silly of me to forget" Narcissa said. "Lulee!"
A house elf popped right in front of Ginny and went to take her bag.
"Hullo missus" Lulee said without looking at Ginny. Her eyes were carefully trained to the floor.
"Hi" Ginny replied.
"This is your personal house elf, Lulee show Ginevera to her room please and get her stuff set up" Narcissa said "We'll talk at dinner dear, there is so much to discuss, but I do have to get matters concerning Hogwarts wrapped up"
"Come on, if you are ready missus" Lulee said.
"Lead the way Lulee" Ginny replied. The Malfoy manor was huge, everything was classic, but yet still all looked like antiques. It was extravagant with out being overly extreme. It was truly breathtaking. "I guess this is my new home" Ginny muttered under her breath still not quite believing what was happening.
"Lulee will take you now." Lulee said. Ginny followed her up stairs and down corridors, and past giant portraits staring at her, and past oddly colored doors, till she finally stopped. "We are here." Lulee opened the door and Ginny heard herself intake a lot of air. Her room was bigger than the entire burrow. The walls were a pale cream with black lacey trim. The bed was a huge circle mattress canopy bed with black metal banisters. The comforter looked satin, there were at least a dozen cream colored pillows and a couple black and green lace throw pillows. There were two dressers that matched the bed almost completely. Over on one wall was a mirror that completely covered the wall. Next to the mirror wall in the corner was a door that Lulee was conveniently going towards with her bag. Ginny walked over and followed her over to it. When the door opened Ginny stepped in, it was huge, and filled with clothes, and there was a window that overlooked a beautiful garden.
She looked over at Lulee to see her putting all of Ginny's belongings on shelves and hangers. It didn't take long.
"What does mistress want Lulee to do with this strange contraption?" Lulee asked. Ginny ran over to her and grabbed her Ipod out of Lulee's hand.
"This is very important to me, okay Lulee?" Ginny asked "It's the most important thing to me"
"But what is it if I may ask mistress?" Lulee asked.
"It's my lifeline" Ginny replied, memories washed over her and she felt like she was going to pass out. "Lulee just let me be for now okay? I need some time to adjust."
"Yes mistress" Lulee said and popped away. Ginny pulled Fred's old quidditch jersey off a hanger and put it over her sat down and put in her headphones.
Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find
She laid her head against the wall, and felt her mind slowly slip into unconsciousness.
"Mistress?" Ginny heard a voice call her, and slowly retreated from her dream like state.
"Lulee is supposed to help make mistress presentable for dinner." Lulee said staring at Ginny.
"Okay, thank you Lulee" Ginny said and held out her hand so Lulee could pull her up and lead her to wear she was supposed to go.
"Well mistress what do you want to wear?" Lulee asked.
"What do you think would be appropriate Lulee?" Ginny replied. Lulee snapped her fingers and a green lace shirt with a high neck, up to her collar bone, but still low cut
enough to show…everything off, it was tight and clung to her curves appeared on her. Along with a knee length high waisted cream skirt and a pair of black lace up high heels.
"That should be up to Mistress Malfoy's expectations." Lulee replied.
"Make it black." Ginny replied, "The shirt make it black." Lulee changed it to black with a wave of her hand.
"Mistress needs her hair and makeup done as well." Lulee replied.
"Thank you Lulee would you do that as well?" Ginny asked.
"Lulee would be honored." She replied. Ginny wondered if this is how all house elf's acted. She felt her hair changing, she didn't notice anything about her face change but she suspected it did.
"Lulee would you please take me to the dining room I have no idea where it is" Ginny said. Lulee nodded her head and led Ginny down the corridors, through all the twists and turns.
"Ginevera you look wonderful dear, those clothes look great on you dont they Draco?" Narcissa asked.
"Yes, she doesnt look like a Weasely except for the red hair and freckles" Draco replied appearing behind her. Ginny whipped around to glare at him.
"Draco would you sit please." Narcissa said tightly. She didnt seem as happy as when Ginny had first arrived downstairs. "Ginevera dear you can sit on the other side of Draco. Im sure he will remain polite seeing as how you are a lady, and deserve to be treated as such." She gave Draco a pointed look that said he would adhere to what she said.
"So this will be news to both of you" Narcissa said, back in her happy mood. "Ginevera is to be advanced to her seventh year so she can graduate when you do Draco. You will both have your own rooms, seeing as how Draco is prefect this year his room has been modified so that it is two adjoining rooms, Ginevera you will stay there with him so he can help you if you need help in any of your classes. I know that you are highly advanced when it comes to potions and Muggle Studies so you can help Draco if you would please in Muggle Studies."
"Muggle studies mum?" Draco asked questioningly.
"Yes. It is one of your classes this year and i dont remember you being excpetional at that so if you need help you will ask Ginevera." Narcissa replied. "We will be going to Diagon Alley so you can get your things tomorrow dear. I know that neither one of you has a familliar so you will both be getting one tomorrow. I know you have wanted one Draco, the oppurtunity has finally presented itself for you to have one."
Ginny looked over at Draco and saw a look in his eyes she didnt quite understand.
"Uhm, I really appreaciate all this" Ginny said "But i dont think i can accept all that. I- i wont be able to pay you back"
"This isn't charity Ginevera, I want to do this for you. I never had a girl but if i did i would want to give her all these things as well." Narcissa replied simply.
After dinner Ginny was attempting to walk back to her room while Draco and Narcissa discussed other things that Ginny wasn't supposed to be listening to she guessed. She pulled her Ipod from her pocket and scrolled through trying to find the song she needed to listen to.
(Paper Flowers, Paper Flower) I linger in the doorway Of alarm clocks screaming Monsters calling my name
Let me stay Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops As they're falling Tell a story In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me Don't say I'm not in touch
With this rampant chaos
Your reality I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge The nightmare!
I've built my own world to escape In my field of paper flowers And candy clouds of lullaby I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming, Cannot stop fir the fear of silent nights.
Oh how i long for the deep sleep dreaming,
The goddess of imaginary light. In my field of paper flowers And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
She walked around not really looking at anything, just listeing to the music, and trying to drown out the tears that she could feel threatning to unleash from her eyes.
"Weaselette?" Draco asked putting a hand on her shoulder. Ginny whirled around and backed up seeing that it was Draco. She took her headphones out.
"Why do you keep doing that?" Ginny exclaimed.
"Doing what Weasely?" Draco asked honestly confused.
"Touching me! And dont call me Weasely." Ginny said.
"I was trying to get your attention. And do tell, what should I call you from now on?" Draco replied simply, he didn't miss the tears that were in her eyes, but he desperatley was begging for them not to fall, he couldn't handle tears.
"Ginny? That is my name. Why would you want to get my attention?" Ginny asked.
"Ginny... hmm no that wont work." Draco replied. "Do you even know how to get back to your room without help?" He smirked.
""How will my name not work to call me?" Ginny asked. "I dont need you help."
"Alright little red." Draco said and went to walk away. "You have a good voice."
Was she just singing? She never let anyone hear her sing.
"Wait... Draco" Ginny called.
"Yes?" He replied stopping without turning around.
"Will you show me where my room is?" Ginny asked. He resumed walking. "Arent you going to show me?"
"Arent you coming?" He replied. She could almost hear his smirk when he said that.
He showed her back to her room and went to walk in the door right across from hers. "What are you doing?" She asked.
"Entering my room. Is that alright with you?" Draco asked raising his eyebrow at her.
"Uhm..yeah..sorry" Ginny mumbled and shut her bedroom door.
She looked over at the mirror and almost cried at her image. She looked beautiful but not at all like herself. Her hair was up in tundrils that fell around her face. Her eyes were lined with black eyeliner and there was a faint shadow eyeshadow on her lids. Her lips were a plum color that made them look full. She instantly knew that it would be ruined as soon as the tears streamed down her face. She instantly changed into her brothers jersey and stripped off everything else and sat in the corner. She couldnt bear to lay in the bed or she didnt think shed be able to get back up. As the tears streamed down her face and the music coursed through her ears, she felt herself slipping into unconsciousness.
