Evangeline dropped the letter and ran to the bathroom. Draco came in after hearing his soon to be wife vomiting. "Ev are you alright baby?" He heard her cry. Opening the door I looked at him. "Draco you're father's bid for my hand in marriage.." I couldn't read his emotions. Turthfully I was scared. After a few moments he finally looked at me, "He divorced my mother for my girlfriend. Ev go to him first, I don't care, make him regret the moment he decided to leave my mother." The anger and the hurthurt in his eyes made him unrecognizable. He kissed my head gently and walked into his own room.
The next morning I had my bags packed for this began the week I would be spending alone with Lucius Malfoy. Lovely. He had sent an open carriage pulled by unicorns to collect me from Hogwarts and to take my to Hogsmeade where he was waiting to Apparate to whatever our destination may be. Totally not flashy because EVERYONE travels via unicorns. Rolling my eyes I got into the carriage already ready for the week to be over.
I saw him outside Three Broomsticks waiting for me. He had that infamous Malfoy smirk on his face. As he helped me out of the carriage he appraised me up and down like a prize. I was beginning to feel very uncomfortable. This is the man that killed my aunt and uncle as well as Neville and Luna. Would he kill me too?
"Ms. Potter may I say you look absolutely gorgeous this fine morning." "Hello Mr. Malfoy, it is nice to see you again." "No my darling, call me Lucius, you very well might be my wife sweetheart after the week I have planned for you. But enough small talk for right this moment. If you please take my arm so we may apparateapparate, I have a suprise for you." I took his arm gently feeling muscles I never knew he had. "Periwinkle," he called out, please take the Lady Evangeline's things to the lodge where we shall be staying." With that we apparated.
"Welcome to America Evangeline." Looking around the colors of the autumn trees were breathtaking. Reds, oranges, browns, and yellows. Then I heard my favorite sound, the sounds of horses. "It was brought to my attention that you have a love for horses, I as well have a fondness for them. You may choose which ever one you like or how many you like. Even if we don't wed it will still be yours." Running like a child on Christmas to presents I ran to the stable. I could hear Lucius chuckle as I did so. There were so many beautiful horses in the stable. Walking through there was an all black mare. She was lovely. Lucius walked to me and appraised the horse. "She is very lovely, would you like her my darling?" "Oh Lucius she is absolutely stunning! I would love to take her!" With that he walked to the stablehand and told him we would purchase her. As I walked through the stables as Nyx was loaded up I came to the end of the stable there was a black stallion with the shape of a lightning bolt on his forehead. Just like Harry... Lucius found me again "Evangeline what has you so upset?" He wiped a tear from my cheek. He looked at the horse. "Ah, I see. Sir we shall take him home as well." I looked at him and he wiped away the rest of my tears. "Lets go to the Lodge, I'm sure some dinner and a warm drink will help calm you. I nodded and took his arm. "Thank you," I said before we apparated. Thinking to myself maybe he isn't that bad.
