Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Hi all! I have gotten my inspiration again! Hope you didn't miss me THAT much;). But considering non of you reviewed, I'll take that as a no. On with the show!
Disclaimer: I don't own nothing. But if I did, I would be a very happy Potter Head.
To Start!
Harry POV:
The week had gone by far to quickly for my liking, and I was in the mist's of getting ready for the big ball. With Mum, Aunt Bella, and Midnight.
I thought my life couldn't get any crazier/worst.
And trust me when I think that. It is not pretty.
"Oh, Grant! You look soooo much like your father!" Aunt Bella squeals
"And so grown up to!" They chider as we walk down the hall.
"Mum?"
"Yes Grant?"
"How are we getting in?"
"Oh! We, your father and I will walk in first. We will announce you as our heirs, and then call you and Midnight in. Then, you WILL say a few words, and then lead us in our first dance."
"Gabriella," Father says,"It is time."
"See you in a minute children."
I heard regal music playing in the back round."And now presenting our very fine Lord and Lady Riddle!"
They walked in like a King and Queen would.
"Thank you for those kind words Gardol. Now, I would like to Present your Prince and Princess. Your next Lord and Lady. My Heirs Grant Tomas Riddle, and Shade Eve Riddle!"
We lead the way in. I would like to say that we took away their breath, but that would be a terrible understatement. More like, took there life force away. I heard a few very girly, undignified "Grant's! Look over here!"
As if. I got to say, Auntie Bella and Mum did a good job. Midnight was wearing a long ball gown.* Dark blue, with silver sparkles. Not like the muggle kind, but magical one that danced and flickered like the stars in the heavens above. I wore a Slytherin green robe, with gold trimmings. Our outfits fit our height perfectly, and outlined everything good about us. Our eyes stood out like beacons, and I could say that we looked very beautiful at that moment,
But then I would be saying an understatement.
"Grant, Shade, would you please lead us in our first dance?" We nodded with a quick pure-blooded fashion."After them, would the others of our younger generation, and future please join them."
A quick music started. I recognized the dance as a muggle ball dance. I felt very relived, that I was actually familiar with the dance steps. As looked around the grand room, I saw Slytherins, our year, younger, and older join us in the dance.
Malfoy and Astoria Greengrass. Pansy Parkinson and Theodore Nott. Blaise Zabini and Daphine Greengrass, as well as Crabbe and Millicent Bullstrobe, and Goyle dancing with a slightly pudgy girl.
The dance was to quickly over, and I handed Midnight over to Blaise.
"Don't you dare hurt her."
"Nope, not upsetting the over protective brother. Not gonna happen." He lead her off with a wink, but before the left, Midnight pushed me into the arms of someone.
I looked up to see my new partner.
"Malfoy?"
"Hello, Potter? Riddle? How about Grant, my love."
"What the Hell?" MY LOVE? WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS? I struggled to get out of his grip."What do you want Malfoy? How did you know it was me? And let go of me for Gods sake!" I seethed with fury.
"No, you're my dance partner, so I can't let go of you. I knew it was you because your the only one that puts that much hate behind my name but you, love. And what do I want? You."
"What the Bumbledore are you talking about? And why are you being so nice? You HATE me!"
"Love, I don't hate you. Far from it in fact. Would you please allow me to explain? No interruptions?"
I thought about it carefully, with much detail.
"Fine." I spit up.
"I knew you would agree love. I do not hate you. In fact, I offered you my friendship in first year, did I not?" True," I wanted to be your friend. Actually, much, much more. But for then, it would be fine. I didn't want to fight, but if it got your attention towards me, it was fine. I would just start fights with the Mud-Muggle-Born, and the Weaslebee."
True, It was never directly me, most of the time. "So, through out the year I would chase you, hoping to get you." I noticed he lead the dance out of the hall.
"Grant," he said softly, brushing his had against my cheek. I blushed when finding myself leaning into the ghost of a touch."Please let me court you. For give me my mistakes of the past, and let me love you." He tilted his head down, and I was embarrassed to say that I was still shorter then him, and my small frame made me feel very female.
And he kissed me. Didn't see that one coming. It was sweet, and I found that I LIKED being dominated. It was amazing, and soon I found myself fighting for a spot for my tongue in my mouth. But sadly, he pulled away.
"Think about it Grant." He started to walk back toward the party.
"Malfoy!" He turns back.
"Yes?"
"Meet me here at 11:00 tomorrow. That is a command from your prince."
"Yes, my prince."
He disappeared into the party. I slowly joined back in. I was swung from dance partner to dance partner, but my mind was stuck on the second one. And after walking all our guests out, fell asleep, dreaming of soft kisses, and platinum blond hair.
*Sunday*
Due to the fact that most of my tutors and parents got drunk last night, my next day was lesson free. And I couldn't be happier.
I stood by the grand water fountain that over looked our gardens. It was sunny, but rain clouds threatened to take over.
"Grant." I looked over to the shadows, to were Dra-Malfoy was. He leaned against the wall, and something fluttered near my heart.
"Malfoy, I agreed to meet you here. Please, walk with me."
"Of course, my prince." We walked through the Spruces. We reach the Lily lake. He reached down, and picks one. He hands it to me. I never felt more like a girl.
"Draco, why did you kiss me? What is your deal? And come on! Why the sudden change in opinion about me?"
"I told you why I kissed you. I want you."
"That is a lie."
"It is not a lie. My deal. I love you. Every thing about you. Forever. Nothing has changed! I already told you that."
"So if allow you to, uhhh, court me, you will stop being ridiculous?"
"My Prince," he looked me square in the eyes, and the molten grey wanted to make me melt, sink further into this "lust" he had for me.
"Enough with the prince thing! Call me Harry for Merlins sake! After all, we will be going back to school, so you don't want to mistakingly call me Grant."
"Soooo, does this mean that we can be, Friends?"
"Yes, but don't think that I will seduced so easily. But friends, yes."
"Fantastic! What do you want to do?"
"How 'bout you come back at 2, and we can go swimming."
"Cool, see you then Harry!"
He turned his back to me. I watch him slowly retreat.
Gabby Riddle POV
"I told you why I kissed you. I want you."
Hmmm. This is a new development. Good news. Very good. The Malfoy Heir is a very good match for Grant.
"How 'bout you come back at 2, and we can go swimming."
"Cool, see you then Harry!"
Very good. Very good indeed.
I watch the Malfoy heir walk away.
I will have to talk about this recent development with Narcissus. Grant obviously is starting to develop feelings for this, Draco. Good. I may have two suitors to worry about. The Zabini heir, and the Malfoy heir. Very difficult to manage. I may have to take care of 2 love sick, hormone raged teens.
I slinked back into the shadows of our house. Lets see how this afternoon goes.
*4 hours later*
Grant POV
Draco bounced up to me.
"Harry! Ready to swim?"
"You bet! Nothing like a cool dip in the middle of summer."
"Cool. 1," Draco
"2," Harry
"3! Cannon ball!" Together
"Very intelligent Grant, Draco."
"Hey Blaise!"
I look up and saw Blaise and Shade. That sat down at the edge of the pool together.
"Shade, Blaise, care to join us in a swim?"
"If we may brother of mine."
We played in the pool for close to 4 hours. A few times I found Draco staring at me. After hours in the sun, we were ready to talk, and eat a bite of a dinner.
"So, Grant. What are you going to do when we get back to Hogwarts?"
"Well, I think that father is planning some thing big for Shade and I."
"Yes, yes I am Grant." My friends bow
"My lord."
"Rise." Me and Shade lean down slightly.
"Father, what plans do you have for us?" She asks.
"I wish to start a circle of 'mini-death-eaters' as many Gryffindorks call us Slytherins. The only way to do this is to transfer Grant to Slytherin."
"Of course father. After all, that is where I was meant to be."
"What!" Draco and Father both looked outraged.
"Its true. But we can thank Draco for my placement." Again with the "Whats!"
"Its true. You where so, so, imposing! Rude, stuck up. It was so, new. I didn't like it. Not in the slightest."
"Draco! We could of had HARRY POTTER in our house! And your imposing ruined it!" Blaise seemed furious.
"Any ways, moving on." As focused as always father."When you get back to Hogwarts, Shade will be sorted. But, she will insist on Grant's resort. She will come up with some nice excuse for why this needs to be done. And Grant, you will be very 'Upset' about this. You WILL be sorted into Slytherin, the noble house of your ancestors."
"Yes father."
"You will not be happy about it. You will be 'unhappy, upset'. By then, you will have your mini-death-eaters. They will be called Cercle de Slytherin. Slytherin Circle. They will be elite slytherins, and other people from other houses that you trust."
"SO, it will be a secret from everyone else?"
"Yes Draco. And I think Grant and Shade would be honored for you and Blaise to take their first mark?"
"Yes father." I picked up."I think the mark should burn like the death-eaters. But, it should only tickle after 5 seconds of burn."
"OK. Grant, Shade, please repeat the spell Excepté ou marque."
"Excepté ou marque."
Draco POV
"Excepté ou marque"
On my left wrist, the mark slowly appeared. It was quite beautiful. A snake, obviously Grants part, circled a dying white rose, tainted with black, silver, and green. It was perfect. So, them.
Grant POV
The weeks past by quickly. Pansy, Daphne, Millicent, and Theo took our Cercle de Slytherin mark. Shade, Pansy, Daphne, and Millicent all grew to be close, and the same could be said about Theo, Draco, Blaise and I. Even though Draco and maybe myself were gay.
pansy understood Draco's feelings for me. It turns out she and Goyle have an arranged marriage. Same with Theo and Daphne.
But all to quickly my summer fantasy had to come to an end.
I had to say good bye to a loving family, friends that actually care about me, not my fame and say hello to the school year.
They were all going to die.
September 1
"Bye Shade!" I shouted before Flooing to platform 9 and 3/4.
"Harry! How are you!" Of course the Mud-Blood would be the first to see me.
They asked sooooo many questions. It annoyed my anger out to my front. As I boarded the train, Draco gave me the Cercle de Slytherin code.
He was going to make the train ride fun for me.
Fini! That was fun! 7 Pages, 2,070 words!- Icygirl77
