Dance Lessons

Plot:Draco's daughter, hates her mother, and Draco and his wife fight all the time. Draco's daughter can't stand it anymore and decides she needs to be with a real mother who will love her, she may just get her wish when she decides to take dance lessons.

Disclamer: I am not J.K.ROWLING, nor do I plan on being her. I own the plot, and I own Draco's daughter, Jade Malfoy. And Now Laura Potter!

Recap:

Even if her mother controlled her most of the time, Jade was still her own person, and had her own opinion of style. She hated wearing dress robes, always having to look a certain way. She'd never get accustomed to it. She then relaxed into a heavy sleep until she heard someone appear out of the fireplace. She knew who it was, it was Laura!

Chapter 3: The Dinner Pary

''Laura, you're here!'' exclaimed Jade coming out of her room, and rushing down the stairs to the fireplace.

''Of course I'm here, you'd think I'd miss seeing my best friend in the whole entire world!'' said Laura, giving Jade a bone crushing hug.

''I missed you too! So what's new with you?''

''Oh not much, Oh guess what, I don't care what are parents say, but you are coming to my birthday party!''

''How?'' asked Jade.

''Well there has to be a way, I mean my dad doesn't know who you are right? So maybe when you do come, you dye it, not permanent though, but like a darker shade of blonde so my dad can't recognise the Malfoy hair.''

''Hey that's not such a bad idea Laura! Who else is coming?''

''Well all my cousins oh the shame, so many! I have to many uncles. I think Cassy and Brittany might come!''

''Awesome, I havn't seen them since the beginning of summer. I honestly can't wait to go back to school. I'm surprised our parents havn't realised that we even go the same school.''

''I know mere coincidence.''

''Also my dad actually sending me to a muggle school on top of that, to think my dad at one point hated muggles, though I don't see why, I mean there's nothing wrong with them.'' said Jade.

''Was your mom against the idea?'' asked Laura.

''Oh boy was she! She refused for me to even associate with them, I mean honestly, you'd think she had nothing better to do then just leave me at home. What did she expect me to do, just sit there in the house and do absolutely nothing while she went to work!''

''Well then how did you manage to get in the school in your mom refused?''

''Mainly my dad's perswading! It took my mom nearly 4 days of convincing to actually give my dad an okay. My dad, was quite good though and he had a point. I need an education!''

''Good, because if you hadn't been at school with me, I don't know what I would have done.''

''Aww, come on Laura, I hate it when you do that, you are not a loser, and you have plenty of friends and you would have been fine even if i was there or not!'' said Jade, reassuring Laura.

''I don't think so! I mean just my dad is the famous Boy-who-lived- Harry Potter. That I'm going to be just like him, saving the world.'' said Laura, close to tears.

''Thats not true Laura! You're a great person and anyone won't tell you otherwise, no one is telling you to be like him, but you shouldn't recent your dad just because he is Harry Potter. Our fathers are heroes no matter how hard we try and deny it! My dad, killed my grandfather and helped your father in the war, and your father defeated lord Voldermort.''

''Yea but it doesn't hurt to not forget it right? I mean don't get me wrong I love my dad, but sometimes I think the famous stuff gets a little to his head sometimes.''

''Maybe, but there are fathers and thats all that matters.''

''So whats new with you?'' asked Laura.

''Well my mother is deciding to throw another one of our Malfoy dinner party's, how fun, how I wish I could burry myself underground then rather go to her party.''

''What is with that anyways? Why does your mother throw the parties in the first place?''

''It seems that it's just custom curtesy or whatever. My mother thinks it's proper that we Malfoy's don't loose our status in the wizarding world, and so by having these parties, and inviting only my mom's close friends, and some of dad's friends were being social in the community. My mother thinks that having these parties means our status still means that were superior over everyone else, and that only purebloods should be in special wizarding schools. She still hates muggle-borns and half-bloods, no matter what my dad's opinion on them is.''

''Wow that's awful, how can your mom think like that? We are all people, no matter what are blood is, whether it's magic or muggle were still people. How did your dad ever marry her?''

''I honestly don't know, I mean when I see my dad, and the way he looks at my mother, I never see love in his eyes. He hides his emotions very well so it's hard to tell. But when he's only around me, he seems to lighten up, and be natural with me!''

''Strange.''

''I know! So has your mom found out whether you're to have a brother or sister yet?''

''Not that I know of, I mean they only told me a week ago! I should probably ask her.''

''Yea you should, are you excited or disappointed that your not the only child anymore?''

''No, I'm not disapointed, I mean I've never had any siblings before the only family I have are the Weasley's so basically all my cousins. So I think I'm excited, wouldn't you want a sibling?'' asked Laura.

''I'm not sure, I mean my mother, she's messed my life up so much, that I couldn't bare to see a brother or sister suffer the same way. My dad has always been there for me, but sometimes it just isn't enough, you know. My mother, sure she's there, but I can't even remember the last time she's spent quality time with me, maybe when I was four or something.'' said Jade.

''I'm sorry Jade, your life seems so much more complicated then mine, I feel so bad, just even mentioning mine and it's problems.'' said Laura.

''Don't be, Laura, I mean it's good to talk to someone about it, I can't keep my feelings to myself, I mean what are best friends for? It's not like I can talk to my dad about this, I mean I'm sure he'd understand but it's not something you talk about with your dad, you know what I mean?''

''I totally agree, I mean these kind of things you'd talk about with your friends or with your mom, but seeing how your mom is the problem, friends are the next best thing.''

''Yea, do you think Mrs. Vexx will let us an extension on our assignments?''

''You mean you havn't started it?''

''No I was going too, but I lost interest in it, I mean who would want to write a 5 paragraph essay on World War II?''

''Well I finished it, Jade you'd find it more fasinating if you actually were interested in it though. I mean it was a 6 years of war, battling. Merely just like the wizard wars, only without wands, they used guns.''

''I guess I just don't history as much as you do Laura.''

''Yea I guess not.''

''Do you think you'll try out for Quidditch when we go to Hogwarts?''

''Maybe, but I don't have the talent like you Jade, I mean your awesome, have you ever seen yourself play?'' asked Laura.

''Well I did have a Slytherin Seeker for a trainer.''

''True, but then again I had a Gryffindor Seeker trainer so I guess were even.'' said Laura.

''Do you want a snack?'' asked Jade getting up from the couch.

''Sure, I forgot that I hadn't even had lunch before I came over.''

''Laura! Why didn't you tell me?''

''Sorry Jade, well let's go get something to eat shall we?''

''Alright.''

Laura followed Jade into the kitchen, where the house elves were once again at work though payed. Some were on vacation, and some taking a break.

''Good afternoon miss Malfoy, I mean J-jade.'' said Porky.

''Good afternoon Porky, I was wondering if my friend and I could have a snack?''

''Sure anything you'd like in particular?''

Turning towards Laura, who was still gazing over the view of the kitchen. Then Jade remembered that Laura had never seen her house before. Or should she say Manor.

''What do you want to eat Laura?''asked Jade.

''Umm how about carrots and dip, and a cheese sandwhich would be great.'' said Laura, realising how hungry she had actually been.

''I'll have the same Porky, we'll be in the dining room.'' said Jade.

Following Jade into the dining room. They sat down at the table across from each other and then their food appeared almost instantely.

''Thanks Porky.''

''Your welcome Jade.'' said Porky, then with a pop, he went back to the kitchen.

''Jade have you ever noticed how big this manor is, you can honestly have 100 people living here.'' said Laura.

''I know, it's too big, my dad didn't want to live here, because my grandfather and grandmother used to live here, and he didn't want to remember him. But my mom insisted on it.''

''Oh thats too bad, but it is beautiful.''

''Thanks, so what did you tell your parents before you got here?.''

''Well my dad wasn't home, but my mom was, I just told her I was going over to Cassy's, and just in case I called Cassy to cover for me just in case.''

''Oh okay kewl, I just don't want to get you into trouble for you being here.''

''I really wish there was a way for our families to just get along, I mean it's bad enough that we have to hide our friendship. I wonder why they had such rivalry back in the school day.'' said Laura.

''Actually there is, my dad's yearbook. He has one for his 7th year, we could find out what it was like back in their 7th year.''

''Sounds awesome, well let's go and find it.''

The girls set off to find Draco's yearbook, Jade knew he had put it somewhere in the attic, she didn't think her dad would be mad, I mean it was just moving pictures of his past. His 7th year, Voldermort was dead, it wouldn't harm to take a look at his Hogwarts years.

When they finally reached the top of the stairs and into the attic, there was many boxes and the room was very dusty, that they had kept sneezing and coughing. When Jade had found a box with the label 'Hogwarts'. She knew it was the right box. They brought it back down and into Jade's room. Setting it down on her bed, and opening it slowly anticipating as to what they might find.

They took each item in there one at a time.

There were Draco's Slytherin Quidditch uniform, his old wand, his shrunken nimbus 2001 broom, When they were nearly at the bottom of the box, they finally found what they were looking for. His yearbook!

Turning the pages, the first few were of the teachers, they pointed and chatted about each of the teachers, some of them that their parents had mentioned before. Then a few more were from the first years till 6th year. Laura recognised her mom, since she was a year younger then her father. Then they finally got to the 7th years.

The first picture was of the Head Boy and Girl, which happened to have been Jade's father a long with a girl they had never heard of before, 'Hermione Granger.' Their backs were facing the other way, while glaring at each other, though looking at the camera at the same time. It seemed that they were forced into the picture together, and it wasn't their idea to be in the photo. Jade was very curious about this girl, and wanted to know more about her, since this was the first time she'd seen her.

''Have you ever heard of her Laura?''

''No I havn't, I wonder if my dad knows her, it says here she was in Gryffindor.'' said Laura, looking back down in the yearbook.

''Maybe, oh there's my mom, boy did she have bad taste then. Do you see what she's wearing?'' said Jade trying not too laugh.

''Wow, I'm surprised your mom became a fashion designer since she had so much bad taste back then. Sorry no offense or anything, I guess people changed over time.''

''I guess, oh look there's your dad, and Ron.'' said Jade, looking back into the book.

''They still havn't changed since then. There's Aunt Lavender too, I think my uncle Ron made a good choice marrying her, she's really nice, and surprisingly Dustin isn't that annoying.''

''Yea, I've seen her before, she seems nice. Oh look there's Neville, Seamus, and Dean. They look so young there.''added Jade.

''Definitely, it's too bad our parents aren't friends then we'd be able to see everyone together.''

''I know, but hey if this is what it's like living dangerous then it's not so bad.'' said Jade.

''There's your uncle Blaise, though he isn't related you still call him your uncle.''

''Well he was my dad's best friend, and he's really nice.''

''I hardly know anyone in Slytherin except your dad and Blaise.''

''I know, I don't know many either, except for some that come over to the dinner parties. Like Vincent and Gregory, their a little weird but pretty kewl. Then there's Millicent too, but she's more of my mom's friends and kinda freaks me out a bit, I've never met her though, but it's what my uncle Blaise says anyways.''

''Sounds like a hell hole if you ask me.'' said Laura.

''Tell me about it, and I have too suffer and sacrifice my quality time to be at this dinner tomorrow.''

''I wish you all the luck in the world. I should probably get going now, it's already 4:30 and your dad should be here in a half an hour, I'll see you in school if not, maybe we can convince our parents to let us go to Diagon Alley together.'' said Laura.

''Good Idea, I'll owl you and let you know, bye Laura!''

''Bye Jade.''

After a minute or two, Laura had returned back to Godric's Hollow, the Potter's family home. While Jade returned to looking through her dad's yearbook. She was still just as curious about this Hermione Granger girl, she seemed different then anyone she'd ever seen. Sorta like herself in many ways then one. She went to the page in the yearbook where the students were aloud to make individual comments. She finally came across the 7th years page, and read a couple of them.

''7th year has been amazing, this school was amazing, the professors have taught us everything, and now it's time we pass it down to our future generation.''
-Neville Longbottom

''I hope that when I leave this school I won't be noticed as the boy who lived but someone who went to a magic school and enjoyed it. I made great friends, and the best time of my life. I'm just a boy with a name Harry Potter.''
-Harry Potter

''We started this school just as students, but when we leave, we leave as adults ready to take on a new adventure whichever comes our way. I will always remember the memories, that this school has broughten, it has taught me so much. God bless you all!''
-Hermione Granger

''It was known that Slytherins and Gryffindors never got along whether it was something that had happened in the past, it was always the same for many generations. Hopefully when we leave the school things will change. This school has made a difference and I hope people know that!''
-Draco Malfoy

''The duels, the spells, the constent bordom of History of Magic, thats what makes a school like Hogwarts seem great! I don't think anyone will forget it, we've been going here for the past 7th years though not all has been good, but we've lived through it.''
-Blaise Zabini

''7th year ruled, top of the world were Slytherin champion, and it would have stayed that way for if it hadn't been for those bloody Gryffindors, but no matter, Hogwarts changed my life. Hope you enjoy this school as much as I did.''
-Pansy Parkinson

''Dumbledore had been the greatest sorcery to ever walk Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and he'll be the last. He was the greatest headmaster and no one could have asked for better. Hogwarts has been a great adventure, the yule balls, the fights with the Slytherins, everything was great!''
-Lavender Brown

Jade then stopped reading once she heard the doors click, since you couldn't apparate into the manor because of a protection spell, they could only apparate around the block of the manor and use a key to get in.

''Jade, I'm home!'' called out Draco from the stairs.

''Okay Dad!''

Jade then came down the stairs and hugged her dad.

''What was that for?'' asked Draco.

''I just missed you that's all. Is that a crime?'' asked Jade, with a slight smirk she had inherited from her dad.

''No of course not, your mother not home yet?'' asked Draco.

''No, just you.''

''So what did you end up doing today?''

''Well I invited one of my friends over, and we kinda went through your year book of Hogwarts I hope that's okay?''

''No that's fine. It's was 8 years ago.'' said Draco.

''I was just looking at the pictures and comments of your year. Who was that girl, that was a head with you?'' asked Jade.

'Oh you mean Granger?''

''Yea, Hermione Granger, who was she, howcome I've never heard of her before?''

''Well see, it's kinda hard to explain, she was a Gryffindor, and I was in Slytherin, and well the Slytherins didn't really like her all that much because well...she was a muggleborn.''

''Really, mom never mentioned anything either.''

''Well your mom still really doesn't like the fact that I've accept muggle-borns and half-bloods into our society and that I truly don't care what type of blood they have, so clearly your mother wouldn't want to talk about them either.''

''What was she like?''

''Why all the sudden questions about her?''

''I don't know, i'm just curious, and besides you must know something about her, since you were head's together, so what was she like?'' Jade asked again.

''Well like I said before she was in Gryffindor, and a bookworm at that, always had her nose stuck in a book, always reading and studying. She was best friends with Potter and Weasley back in the day. That's basically it, we didn't really talk much, I mean we were ennemies and we had to work together in our 7th year. I even had to take her to our final ball in our 7th year. Boy was your mother mad then.''

''Why didn't you go with mum?''

''Dumbledore had requested it, that since we were head's it was custom for us to go together.''

''She's really pretty.'' added Jade.

''She was alright, I suppose.'' Draco lied. He hadn't thought she was pretty during his last year, she looked beautiful now that he thought about it so long ago. But they were still ennemies and that was it.

''What's for supper dad?''

''Whatever you'd like.'' said Draco glad for the subject change.

''Can we have pizza?'' asked Jade.

''Sure, we'll wait till your mother gets home and then we'll have supper. I suggest you put my yearbook back into the attic, before your mother sees it.''

''Alright dad.'' said Jade before walking back into her room.

Draco didn't know all of a sudden his daughter had started talking about Hogwarts. It was 8 years ago, it was in the past. He was surprised to say the least. He didn't think anything of it for awhile. Though he had been thinking about it during work. Everything was brought back to Hogwarts one way or another.

He had heard of them one way or another from his ex-hogwarts students with their careers. Weasley and Quidditch, Lavender as his wife, Potter; Auror, then Weaselette who was married to Potter, Longbottom, a herbology teacher, and wife was Luna Lovegood ex- ravenclaw. Blaise hadn't gotten married yet, so he was still single and he'd come to the dinner parties of the Malfoy's.

The only one he hadn't heard of since Hogwarts was Granger. He hadn't thought about her, not once, not for 8 years since he left Hogwarts. It was definitely sudden that all of the blue his daughter had brought these questions about his past, and why Granger of all people. If Jade had ever asked Pansy, she'd be in trouble. He knew for a fact that if Pansy was the one to have gotten these questions she'd flip out, and struck out at Jade, not intentionally, but it was the way Pansy had been brought up, whether she changed her loyals about the dark side, she didn't believe in lesser blood. There's was nothing Draco could do too change that.

Half an hour later Pansy had arrived home from work.

''Mum can we have supper now, we've been waiting till you got home.''

''I suppose but I won't be joining you, I have much too much to do. Just get the house elf to fetch you supper, I'll be in my office.'' said Pansy.

''Pansy can we talk?''

''Not now, Draco I'm busy I have a deadline in 3 days and it's bad enough that I'm so far behind.''

''Well I think you can at least have dinner with us. I mean when was the last time we ate dinner as a family, Pans?'' asked Draco.

''I know Draco, I know, but my work is important, and if I don't get this deadline in, I'll get fired.''

''But this family is important too. Whether I want to go to this dinner party tomorrow we are still a family no matter how important your job is.'' said Draco. ''Dinner is only a half an hour thing. I think you can live with a half an hour supper with us before returning to work.''

''I realise that Draco, but this could be the final installemnt of my career if this works out, will have more money then we can imagine. Wouldn't that be great?''

''You know I don't care about the money Pansy, if I earned one galleoned a day, I'd be fine with it.''

''You cannot be serious Draco! You've worked hard for your money, and you shouldn't have to throw it away, and you derserve every sickel worth.''

''No I don't, my father gave me this money, and I've already gotten rid of half of it, given it to charities, buying more space for St. Mungo's we don't need the money Pansy, we never did.''

''Sure we do, there's so much we need to do to this manor, I mean we need to liven it up, those drafty color's in Jade's room, are dreadful, oh and that sofa is horrible, it's not even new.''

''Pansy the manor is fine. If you choose to dine with us later they'll be food there for you to eat later.'' said Draco.

''Fine.'' said Pansy, proceeding to their bedroom to work on her deadline.

Draco sighed, no matter how many times he tried to get this family together to do things together, to be a loving family all as one. He was just asking too much. They fought all the time. Pansy thought better of things in life, new furniture, new expenses, changing everything when she didn't like something. Draco liked things to stay the same, he was used to seeing the same thing over and over again, and changing everything made him to appreciate the finer things in life.

He remembered his second year when he joined the Quidditch team, merely because his father had bought him in. If he had tried out just like every other Slytherin, he didn't think he would have made it. He knew he had been a bastard, during his years at Hogwarts, and there was nothing he could have done to change that. But now he was trying to make up for it, with his family. Starting from scratch, when Jade had been born, Draco was scared because he didn't want to be become his father and hurt his child, beaten it with unforgivables just because it didn't know any better, it was merely a child.

Draco had stuck to his instincts and voiced his opinion against Pansy's protests. Which had brought on the many fights, mostly on money, the manor, his father, pureblood rights and crap like that. Then they had moved on to muggle schools when Jade was old enough to go to school, then it was house elves. The list always seemed to go on. He tried to be the best father he could for Jade, he knew Jade hadn't particullary liked her mother, since Pansy hardly spent any time with her, unless necessary. He didn't know how much he could take of Pansy, she was destroying his happiness one piece at a time, and sooner or later he was going to crack.

The dinner resumed with just Draco and Jade, they quietly ate not making any conversation since Draco was in a bad mood and he had seen the sad look in Jade's eyes, and he didn't want to upset her anymore then she already was.

The following day approached way to quickly for anyone had realised that the dinner party was just in a few hours. Pansy had ordered the house elves to make sure that the manor was spotless, and she had threatened them that if they didn't finish by the time she had requested she wouldn't give them their extra pay, or vacation days.

Pansy wanted everything to be perfect. She had been cooped up in hers and Draco's bedroom all of last night and this morning working on her deadline only coming downstairs for a glass of water. She took her work seriously, and even though her life wasn't perfect she enjoyed it. Being with a Malfoy had it's benefits, even though Jade wasn't the daughter she'd hope she'd be. It was still hers none the less, no matter how many times she tried to ignore her.

Jade had spent more time on the Quidditch pitch, just flying around and thinking, relying on what had happened yesturday at dinner. She didn't understand how her dad could bare her mother, she was obnoxious, and only cared about herself. She didn't care about her husband or daughter. She was heartless. That recent fight over her job and dinner had been another one of those fights Jade over heard every few days between her parents. There were days when she couldn't take it anymore and locked herself in her room and would scream her head off in her pillow making sure her parents couldn't hear her.

She hated the fighting, the arguments, the insults, it never seemed to stop. Why couldn't her family be normal, why did her parents have to fight? Weren't families suppose to love each other, support each other, why wasn't her family like that? No matter how many times she had tried to ignore it, it was impossible, she couldn't escape it, and she couldn't fight, it was always there.

Once Jade was tired of flying around she had an hour to get ready for their dinner party. That was another thing she never understood, at home when no one was watching the fighting was there. But when they had company they put on a show, acting all lovey dovey towards each other but it was all lies.

She pulled on her ''green dress robe'' thanks to her mother she was forced to wear one. Support their Slytherin pride and glory, Jade could really care less. Once she was done getting ready, she approached the stairs once again her parents fighting again. She needed to put a stop to it, for at least an hour for this dinner party or anyone would think they had been living a lie as a family which they were. But no one had to know that.

''Dad, mom, what time does the party start at?''

''In half an hour dear.'' said Pansy, putting on a fake smile.

''Well is there anything I can do to help?''

''Don't worry about it dear, the house elves will take care of everything, why don't you go run off and relax for a half an hour till the dinner starts.'' said Pansy.

''Alright, let me know if you need me to do anything.'' added Jade before going back to her bedroom.

Jade sat down on her bed, she had returned the box of Hogwarts back up to the attic but she had left the yearbook out. She decided to absord her time looking into the past, it was amazing to see that these adults now were once kids just like herself. They looked so young compared to now, it seems that 8 years had made a big difference. That half an hour past quickly and soon Pansy's dinner guests had arrived just on time.

''Jade, please come down stairs please.'' demanded Pansy.

''Coming mom!'' she yelled from the stairs.

Jade ran down the stairs so much not to trip over herself or that her mother didn't get mad at her. Pansy mingled through the crowd dragging Draco along with her, he knew he wouldn't convince her to let him do his own thing unless she got what she wanted from him. This party was just for show, known just for appearances, showing that the Malfoy's were more superior than any other pureblood.

''Milly, wow I havn't seen you in such a long time.'' said Pansy, kissing each of Millicent cheeks.

''Same to you too Pansy, wow you look great!'' said Millicent returning Pansy's favour.

''Don't I look good always. You remember my husband Draco.'' added Pansy.

''Of course I do, how could I not! It's nice too see you Draco.''

''Nice to see you again Millicent.'' said Draco kissing her hand, it was common curtesy.

''I don't think I've met your daughter, where is this darling daughter you've talked so highly of, Pansy?'' asked Millicent.

Draco gave a curious look to Pansy, for he knew she was never one to talk about their daughter as anything pleasant. Jade hardly ever caused them trouble, she was his angel, saving himself from just killing himself after his marriage to Pansy.

''I think she's talking to some of the other guests, if you'll excuse me.'' said Draco, trying to remove himself from Pansy's grip on his arm.

He finallly got by from several guests he had met previously, and then he had found Jade sitting on the stairs. Placing a bored tone on her face.

''You know I really hate being here right now?''

''I know, come on your mom wants you too meet one of her friends she went to Hogwarts with us.''

''Ugh do I have too?''

''Yea come on, we can't keep her waiting.''

''I know, I know.''

The Malfoy's walked back to where Pansy had been talking to Millicent Bulstrode.

''Well now how do you do? I'm Millicent Bulstrode, a friend of your mom's, I was a Slytherin as well.''

''Hi, well since you already know me, Jade Malfoy nice to meet you.'' extending her hand.

''My my, you have a polite daughter, it could come in handy when she goes to Hogwarts.'' said Millicent.

''Oh definitely, more then likely she'll be in Slytherin just like the rest of us.''

''That's not true! I could be in Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff.'' said Jade.

Why did everyone think that just because of her parents heritage that she was going to be in Slytherin as well.

''Well we won't find out for another 2 years anyways so, there's some refreshments over there, Milly, here I'll join you, Draco, Jade, please make do with yourselves.'' said Pansy.

With that said Pansy and Millicent left the others be. Just then Jade had noticed someone.

''UNCLE BLAISE!'' said Jade running forward towards Blaise not following too much behind was Draco.

''Hey Jade, how you doing? Hey Draco!'' said Blaise returning Jade's hug.

''Except for the fact that mum made me come here, all is good. I saw you in dad's yearbook!''

''Really?''

''Yea, my friend and I were bored so we decided to browse around in the past.''

''Interesting, what's new with you Draco?'' asked Blaise.

''Nothing much, just been busy with the company that's all, let me guess still single I see?''

''You betcha, though I date a girl from time to time, but they never want to stick around for more then a couple of days.'' said Blaise.

''Maybe it's because you scare them off Uncle Blaise.''

''I do not!'' said Blaise pretending to be offended!

''Sure.'' said Jade with a slight smirk.

''I see you've been teaching Jade here, your smirk eh Malfoy?''

''It seems like it!'' said Draco.

The evening passed without a hitch, there had been a couple of times where Jade had been whisked off by her mother just so she could be introduced. Jade had to put on the act she had used whenever around her mother. Luckily it had been only a few times, she could tell her mother didn't want to be in her presence either, but did it, because it was proper to show the whole entire family. Draco had to mingle with the other adults his wife had invited. He hardly knew any of them, he wondered when Pansy had all the time in the world to meet these people when she didn't even have the time to eat dinner with her family. Around 9 a clock is when some of the guests had decided to leave. Pansy had drank a lot of wine, and was a bit tipsy. Draco knew that if he didn't stop her from drinking she'd go too far. Jade had fallen asleep on Blaise's lap, so she didn't notice what was going on around her.

Around 10 a clock Draco had asked many of the guests to leave the manor, for he still had another day of work ahead of him, and many things to do, and it'd be best if they had left. Once the guests were gone, Pansy had luckilly past out on the sofa, so Draco brought them to their room and rested her head on the bed, then proceeded back to the main lounge.

Blaise was still awake, and Draco didn't need to send him away, he was his best friend and was welcome any time.

''What a great night wasn't it?'' asked Blaise.

''Oh yea, I definitely had the time of my life, well I should probably put Jade too bed, you wanna wake her up for me, while I clean up a bit.''

''Sure.''

Blaise woke Jade up silently, not wanting her to get angry at her for making her get up when she seemed to be sleeping so peacefully.

''Goodnight Uncle Blaise, goodnight Dad.'' said Jade, while walking into her room, and falling down into her bed for a restless night of sleep.

Draco finished cleaning up the manor, since he was quite tired to do things the muggle way, he used his wand, with a flick of his wrist the dishes were cleaned, the carpet vacuumed, and the funiture polished.

''You raised a good kid, Draco.''

''I know thanks man, only problem she doesn't have a mother. I've been living with Pansy for 8 years Blaise and it's a hellwhole, I don't know how much more I can take of it. Jade's sick of it too, I can see it in her eyes, she hates seeing Pansy and I fight all the time.'' said Draco.

''You know there's only one real answer to this, with two solutions, one; you can move out, with or without Jade and/or you can divorce Pansy, since I know you don't love her, there's no need to stay married to her. The pureblood rules have changed now, and you can divorce her, but it's up to you.'' said Blaise.

Draco knew Blaise was right about it all, he had a lot of thinking to do tonight.
