okay I decided to try something new with my HP fanfiction story. I hope it works and everyone loves it.
Okay now its still a bit to early for a poll but if you want you can tell me whom you think she should be with.
Christmas Shopping
Things went fine I followed the orders of my parents for the sake of my mother. Every morning I wake up meet up with my godfather in the study room that belonged to Draco and me. Then only stop for my meals and back to work on my magic so I wouldn't hurt anyone and at nights I would sneak into Draco's bed until one night when Narcissa catch me in the hallway.
"You should be sleeping Elizabeth tomorrow we are going shopping from Christmas gifts."
"I had a nightmare and I was going to Draco's room so that he could calm and help me sleep."
"I'll stay with you let return you to your room."
"You had a fight with Lucius didn't you mother?"
Guiding me to my room she sighs "Why can't you call him father we have both raised you?"
I looked at her, "It's the way he looks at me that makes me feel that I shouldn't call him father."
Narcissa looked at me and sighed, "Honey, he loves you as a daughter. He means well and he is scared for you."
"Then why do I feel like he despises me with just a look." I said as I got into the bed and covered myself.
Sighing again Narcissa spoke to me about how Lucius truly just wished that I was a real Malfoy. That I looked so much like her that I should be a Malfoy, it was that comment that got me thinking. "Mom? I only know of two male Black's that are your cousins please tell who is my real father and I promise to try and call Lucius father."
"You're right I could tell you which one is your father. But then I would be putting you in harm's way if I did tell you." she said as she joined me in my bed.
"I'll try to call him father again." I said as I turned over to face her and cuddle into her hoping that she could keep the nightmares away like Draco did. It didn't work I still had the nightmares of someone bursting into the room and hearing someone scream and seeing shadows on the wall. I feel Narcissa leave my bed as I try to continue to sleep.
"Draco why are you here?" Narcissa whispers.
"She didn't come to my room like she said she would I was worried."
"Is she always moving like this?"
"Yes but when I hold her she stops and just sleeps calmly. Why do you ask mother?"
"I was holding her but she continues and screams about shadows. Draco, you may stay with her tonight." She sighed, "You know that this can't continue."
"Mother, it can't be helped right now her dreams are about the night before she was brought to us. I may have been just a baby mother but you and father told me everything about what happened to her before you both made her nothing but a shell."
"Draco!"
"No mother I will speak about this; you know what happened to her that night and it was your cousin's fault he should have never left her there."
"Tell me Draco where else could he have left her with? His..." She paused in which I assumed that she noticed that I was now calm. "Now is not the time to speak about this both of you need to sleep we are going shopping tomorrow so that you may get gifts for everyone that you want to buy for. Draco, she has to be friends with Harry Potter. Don't let anyone destroy that friendship for her."
"I won't mother. Good night." Draco said as I felt him join me in bed. As he wrapped his arm around me I turned to bury my face into his chest and let sleep take me. I didn't wake up until morning when Dobby popped into my room to wake both Draco and I. Draco was not too happy about being woken up and almost yelled at Dobby if it wasn't for me punching him in the gut.
"Thank you Dobby you may leave to inform our mother that we are awake."
"Yes, Mistress." He said as he popped away.
"Must you always punch me like that when I yell at him?" Draco says as he rubs his stomach. "You never to that around the others."
I roll my eyes him. "First, Dobby has done nothing to you for you to yell at him. Second, I'm never around you when you yell at the others. Third, you need to leave my room so I can get dress."
He did as I asked and I got ready for our day for shopping and combed my hair up into a ponytail and tying a green ribbon to hide the red and gold band that held it all together. I brushed my teeth and grabbed my handbag just before leaving my room and joining everyone in the dining room. I remembered my talk with mother and so when I entered the room I gave it a try.
Looking at Lucius with a smile, "Father, Good morning."
Draco and Lucius eyes had both widen in shock and Narcissa smiled up at me and to which I returned a smile to her.
"Morning Elizabeth. Your mother has informed me you have not been sleeping very well as of late. Would you like for us to make you a sleeping drought or a dreamless potion. It's not that I disapprove of you sharing a bed with Draco it just that you two are growing and soon it won't be right."
I wanted to be angry with him but he was right soon Draco and I would start to change physically and mentally. Draco is after all my brother...well cousin but still we are family and it would not look right to others. "No father its fine I don't want any of those. I don't know why Draco is able to calm me when he does find me screaming in my sleep. It could be a memory that I have long forgotten and something or someone must want me to remember it."
"Lucius, dear do not forget what we were told."
Lucius looked to his wife and I don't know what I saw but he just nodded and continued to read the daily prophet.
"Draco, Elizabeth why don't you finish your meal quickly and we shall meet in the living room so that we can leave to Diagon Alley."
Draco and I did as we told and we soon left to do our Christmas shopping. I knew that I had to get something for Pansy that said that I was sorry, so I figure that a new makeup kit would do for her. Blaise it was easy I got him a book to how to understand girls. Draco never left my side so it was hard to get him something without him knowing about it. So I knew that I had to talk to mother about getting him to go get me something and that it made sense to leave me be for a while. I looked around for some kind of a book for Hermione and Harry well I knew it had to be something special so I turned to Narcissa.
"Come, I think I know what we can get him. How special do you want this gift for him and Draco to be?"
"Mother, Draco would be happy with anything because he has everything. But Harry doesn't have much and I want it to be something that will remind him of me when he looks at it."
"Then we shall get them something with that kind of meaning to both of them."
Smiling at her for her guidance in this we were able to find something that both Harry and Draco could wear around their necks and it not look girly at all. It was a locket but the charms were round and one had a snake and the other had a lion. Narcissa told that she knew the perfect picture for Draco's locket and that we would let Harry choose what he wanted in it. Looking at them I knew it felt right for them to have this from me. Then I thought of breakfast and how both mother and father had changed the subject.
"Mother?"
"Yes, dear."
"How many secrets are you keeping from me for my safety?"
She sighed "You picked up on my warning at breakfast did't you. It's about something that you can know about but it's also not safe to speak about it here. I promise that after dinner we will talk about this. With Draco because I fear that he must know about it as well."
"Okay."
"Oh look there is Draco now let's go have lunch before we head back home."
We did just that and once home I went straight to my room dropping my bags and deciding to wrap all my gifts for everyone. The books were easy to wrap up and charm their names on the gifts. I figured that Hermione didn't have a book about Merlin and Morgana life so I had hope she would love this book. I was about done with wrapping Harry's gift when Draco walked into my room.
"Is that Potter's?"
I rolled my eyes "Yes this one is his. How can I help you Draco."
"It's almost dinner time we need to go. Sooo... what did you get me?"
I smirked at him I got up off the floor and stood before him. "I'll tell you if you tell me what you got me."
Smirking in return thinking he was going to win "I got you jewelry. Now it your turn."
"Very well I guess you'll just have to wait to see it." I say walking towards the door.
"Hey I told you what I got you." he says catching up to me so we leave together.
"Yes and I told you as well."
"You can't be serious guys don't do jewelry."
I stopped walking and grabbed his arm to stop him "I think you will always love this one."
Looking at me with disbelieve "Yeah whatever, we need to move fast before father gets upset with being late for dinner. Besides tonight you don't have to worry about training with Uncle."
"Draco, you know I'm only doing this his way because you are there in the room with us, right?" I say just before kissing his cheek making him turn pink.
Okay please enjoy updated chapters. okay I don't know if an update was really needed in this chapter but I did it anyways.
