In the morning, Jade felt someone shaking her awake. "Weasley UP! You fat cow! My mother's coming!" Malfoy hissed.
Jade opened her eyes and groaned. "Oh my goodness…the first thing I see in the morning…you." Jade said closing her eyes again.
"And the worst thing I see in this lifetime…you. You even look horrible in the mornings. Look at you with all this makeup, by God, who do you wear it for?." he asked disgustedly.
"You can piss off and die now you lonely, bitter, stupid-oh darling I love you so much." Jade said when Narcissa entered the room.
Draco turned around to see his mother walk in with Lucius, who looked amused. "Fighting on your wedding night?" Lucius asked raising his eye brows.
Jade felt she was about to throw up. She sat up, tugging her wedding dress back up. "No, really it-"
"You must have said something Draco." Narcissa cornered.
"Mother! Me? Start something? She tore my sheets!" he said. Lucius gasped sharply and started to cough violently. Jade blushed deeply, looking at Narcissa's expression, who looked incredibly perturbed by this piece of news. A small smile appeared on her lips and a faint blush glowed across her cheeks as she held Lucius next to her. "Oh no…no, no, no, that's not what I meant." Draco said wanting to clear things.
"I expect this fight to be resolved in 5 minutes and you two to show up downstairs for breakfast. Jade, Biddy will be delivering a few dresses for you to wear." Narcissa said and Jade nodded. Narcissa left patting Lucius's back, who gave Draco a dirty look. When the door closed Draco threw his arms in the air.
"Great, now they think we're screwing each other. Not even that, we're screwing each other so hard, we tear the sheets and fight over it." Draco said. Jade scowled and jumped at Biddy's apparition.
"Mistress's dresses." Biddy said laying them on Jade's bed.
"Thank you." Jade said seeing the elf bow. The elf left and Draco gave her a questioned look. "What?" Jade snapped reaching for the dresses.
"You thanked the elf. What the hell for?" he asked. Jade smirked, her head throbbing lightly. She was developing a mild headache and her morning wasn't going so well.
"It's called good manners, kindheartedness and courtesy. You have no idea what I'm talking about do you? Now get out of here, I have to change." Jade said.
"Then change. If my mother sees me outside by myself, I'll be in a real pickle." He said.
"Then at least stand outside of the door while I change…or kill yourself? I really like the last idea. It gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside." Jade said seeing him look at her with despise. Before he could say anything, Jade walked into the bathroom and shut it, wearing a dark gray dress.
Breakfast went by awkwardly. No one spoke at all and Jade couldn't help but feel her cheeks warm, thinking what Narcissa and Lucius thought.
"Pass the bed-I mean butter." Lucius said quickly. Narcissa looked at her husband curiously. Lucius glanced at Narcissa and looked back at his food. He looked up again to see her expression unaltered. Draco ate his food hungrily and Jade sat there, pushing her food around, thinking of her father.
"Jade, why aren't you eating?" Narcissa asked. Jade looked up and shook her head.
"Not much of an appetite." Jade said.
"Eat…it's more than what you bargained for in that craphole you live in." Draco said quietly.
Jade turned to him and saw him face her. 'Fuck you.' Jade mouthed. Draco smirked and placed a mouthful of eggs in his mouth.
"I love you too…darling." He said sarcastically. Narcissa smiled brightly and pointed to Jade.
"Draco why don't you see if your wife would want more." Narcissa said.
"She's a big girl…she can take care of herself…right sweet pea?" he asked. Jade rolled her eyes and rested her head on her finger.
"I'm fine." Jade assured Narcissa and Draco who couldn't give a rat's arse about her.
After breakfast, everyone got ready to make a visit to the Burrow. Upon arriving at the Burrow, Jade stepped out of the muggle car and looked at the exterior of her house. She felt as if she came back from a whole year from Hogwarts again. She loved this home with all her heart and found that even a day made her miss her home terribly. She walked up to the door and knocked. A few moments later, the door opened.
"Mummy?" Jade asked seeing her mother stare from the surprise visit.
"Come in." she said holding the door wider for them. Jade and the Malfoy's walked in the narrow hallway. "Your father's in the living room." Molly squeaked, her eyes welled with tears. Jade walked in the living room, to see her father flipping through a page of a book. He looked up from his glasses and was equally surprised as Molly was to see Jade with the Malfoy's.
"What is she doing here?" Arthur asked roughly.
"Daddy, please." Jade said breaking down.
"Arthur, please calm down." Molly solaced.
"Arthur just look at the state your daughter is in. The poor thing had been crying ever since you were admitted to the hospital. You can truly see in her eyes that she had no intention of hurting you. Your daughter loves you Arthur. Would it be a sin to love someone else? My children fell in love with each other and they need your approval, but what is a marriage without an elder's approval?" Narcissa asked.
"She could have at least told us that she was in love. She could have at least had our permission." Arthur said.
"Would you have said yes?" Narcissa asked. Arthur paused. He gave a quick look at Jade and Draco. "You wouldn't have. With all due respect Arthur, I know you love your daughter but you're a very selfish man. How can you not see the love she has for my son? How could you have denied such happiness from your daughter? Do you think you could have cooped her up in your nest? They're children, they've married, what else could anyone do? What else is there to do? What has happened has happened. Will you shun them from your life forever? You can't." Narcissa said.
"I'm sorry Daddy." Jade said trying to stop her tears. Arthur slowly got up and Jade ran to him, helping him up.
"I'm sorry for not thinking what you wanted. I've always trusted you and I trusted your judgment." He said. Jade wrapped her arms around her father and hugged him, closing her eyes tightly.
"Oh ho, my little baby has grown." He said hugging back. Jade parted from her father who walked over to Narcissa. "I'm sorry Narcissa. I was wrong and-"
"It's quite all right. I do understand." She said warmly. Arthur turned to Draco and smiled, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"You must be a fine gentleman Draco for my daughter to marry you. I'm sorry for not trying to give you a chance…I do hope you forgive this old man-"
"Dad…not necessary." Jade cut in.
"Oh Jade let me speak." Arthur said gently.
"My son in law has visited for the first time with his parents, I should prepare dinner. GINNY!" Molly called. Jade quickly looked to see Ginny run down the stairs and stop, seeing the Malfoy's and Jade.
"Jade!" Ginny screamed. Ginny ran to Jade and jumped in her arms.
"Where the hell did you come from?" Jade asked.
"From Mum." Ginny joked.
"You arse, I mean why are you here? Hogwarts isn't over." Jade said.
"Spring break durf." Ginny said turning to Malfoy. "Oh hey arsehole." Ginny said punching Malfoy's arm. "I heard you married my sister…shocked really, you're not under the Imperious Curse are you?" Ginny asked checking Jade's forehead.
"Stop it! My In-Law's." Jade mumbled grabbing Ginny's hand and lowering it.
"Oh…hello." Ginny said.
"Hello Ginevra." Narcissa said.
"How do you do?" Lucius asked monotonously, not too impressed with Ginny.
"Good thank you very much. You know my name Mrs. Malfoy?" Ginny asked seeing Narcissa nod.
"I was going over Jade's entire family. I feel as if my homework is paying off, though I have to name 6 other individuals." Narcissa said frowning.
"Oh don't worry about it. Ron eats like a pig so you won't mistake him. The twins are impossibly difficult to figure out, even Mum confuses herself…she doesn't know the difference." Ginny whispered. "And then we have Percy the prat, you'll have no problem naming him because he is never here. Bill and Charlie, well Bill is married to a Veela and Charlie has dragon burns all over his arms. Then you have Jade, who isn't what she looks like and doesn't look like what she is like, but now that she has a pet ferret to play with, you don't have to worry about any mischief." Ginny said.
Narcissa burst into giggles and looked at Lucius and Draco. "Ferret she called you…isn't that cute?" Narcissa asked.
"Ginny! Help in the kitchen please?" Molly asked.
"Coming Mum! Jade you ought to come with me…sisterly bonding." Ginny explained. Jade nodded and excused herself from the Malfoy's.
"What the hell did we get into?! The Weasley's?" Draco hissed towards his father who jabbed him to keep quiet.
"You were the one trying to destroy her. You brought yourself to this mess, I hope you didn't forget." Lucius said watching Arthur show Narcissa how to use a remote.
"Ah!" Narcissa yelped when the television turn on and off.
"And you fell in love with him?! Just like that?! Are you bloody insane? How can you fall in love with…with that?!" Ginny asked peeling the onion ferociously. Jade looked at her mother who clicked her teeth.
"Ginny! Stop being so rude! He's Jade's husband!" Molly said.
"Mum, you can't be serious about this either! Don't you think that maybe Malfoy put Jade under a spell of some sort? A love potion? Jade, I would have rather you marry Snape." Ginny said.
"Ginny!" Molly scolded.
"Sorry Mum." Ginny said turning back to Jade.
"How is it in the Manor dear?" Molly asked straining the vegetables.
"It's empty and lonely there Mum. There's nothing to do there." Jade told them.
"It's just been one day sweetheart. You're not used to it yet." Molly explained.
"Can I stay over for a couple of days, if your arse of a husband won't mind?" Ginny asked casually.
"GINEVRA!" Molly warned.
"Oops, I keep forgetting to switch my honest button off. Let me switch the ignorant button on right now." Ginny said.
"Ginny! That's an amazing idea! Can you really stay over with me? I miss you so much and-"
"Relax, relax, no need to plead of course I'll stay." Ginny said.
"Great, so I'll help you pack today." Jade said. They fixed dinner and Jade told Narcissa that she was going to have Ginny stay over at the Malfoy Manor.
"The more the merrier! I'm sure Ginny would love our library collection for her Hogwarts assignments." Narcissa said putting a forkful of mashed potatoes in her mouth. She savored the creamy and buttery mashed potatoes and hummed. "Oh this is scrumptious." Narcissa said.
"She said that for the 23rd time." Draco muttered to his father.
"What was that?" Ginny asked. Draco snapped to her and sneered looking at the same girl who had Bat Bogey hexed him 3 years ago.
"Draco dear, why aren't you eating? Anything wrong with the food?" Molly asked. Draco looked down to his food.
"It's a bit…rich. I'm trying to watch my-" he stopped when Ginny snorted. "What?" Draco asked defensively. Ginny looked solemn and shook her head.
"Oh no…just that girls usually…" she stopped giggling. Narcissa chuckled and held a napkin on her mouth. Draco looked at Lucius who smirked.
"I think I missed something." Draco said.
"Missed? It's a bit shocking isn't it? A man who works as a director for girls that starve themselves to pose for pictures and model…doesn't know what I'm talking about." Ginny said. Jade knocked her elbow against Ginny's arm to make her stop.
"You're saying I starve myself? I don't starve. I diet." Draco corrected. Ginny shrugged and bit off from her drumstick.
"He diets. Interesting Jade. You two are an unusual couple. Jade grew up eating rich food like this all her life and you're here…dieting." Ginny said.
Draco smirked and threw his napkin over his plate. "What's interesting here is a rich man like me doesn't have to eat when he can have anything he wants, whereas a poor person like-"
"Draco." Narcissa said sharply. Draco didn't say anything further; he just loved the look on Ginny's face who thought better than to punch Malfoy across his face.
"Collards anyone?" Molly asked cutting the tension.
Jade helped pack Ginny's suitcase and listened to her muttering. "I feel the same way Ginny." Jade said.
"Yes, and that made you fall in love and marry him. Shall I go downstairs and proclaim my love for him too?" Ginny asked.
Jade sighed losing her patience. "Gin, I didn't marry him for love." Jade said.
Ginny's face fell. Her mouth dropped and she put a hand on her cheek. "My sister is a gold digger? Oh how could you-"
"Gin you're not listening to me." Jade said seeing Ginny's mouth twisting.
"I mean…I thought Mum and Dad raised us all successfully and respectfully. But what went wrong in their upbringing that you had to marry Malfoy for his money?" Ginny asked.
Jade made a sound of anger and closed the door in their room. "I did not marry Malfoy for his money or his love!" Jade felt crazy explaining this to Ginny who seemed lost. When Ginny asked why, Jade told her the whole truth. "And I trust you not to tell anyone. Mum and Dad will get their hearts broken and so will Mrs. Malfoy. Nobody can know of this and I mean NO one Ginny." Jade said. Ginny looked at Jade, bemused.
"Ginny?" Jade asked. Ginny snapped her head up and spoke.
"Er…wow. I feel so bad for you. Acting like you love Malfoy? I would have stabbed him with something on the first night." Ginny paused.
"What?" Jade asked. A mischievous smile appeared on Ginny's face.
"This means I get to harass him more than usual. I mean I thought you were going to be offended if I called him names and insulted him so I kept some things to myself." Ginny said as Jade laughed.
"Oh really? Those things you were saying downstairs really pissed him off. I wonder what else you've got." Jade closed Ginny's suitcase and hauled it up.
"You just wait, when Narcissa and Lucius are out of sight, I'll make Draco Malfoy cry like a little mandrake." Ginny promised.
Jade, Ginny and the Malfoy's left the Burrow to Malfoy Manor. Ginny marveled at the Manor and was escorted to her room by Biddy the house elf. "This room is so big! What's all the space for?!" Ginny asked circling her room.
"To show peasants like you how powerful we are." A voice said. Jade and Ginny turned around to see Malfoy standing there smirking evilly at them.
"Aw Jade look, it's the anorexic little girl." Ginny said as Jade burst into giggles.
"That's not funny." Draco snarled.
"Of course it's not. Ginny, anorexic little girl? Can't you see? Anorexic girls have feelings too." Jade said pouting.
"I'm not an anorexic little girl. You must be enjoying this, taking advantage over my good mother's heart to manifest in my Manor with your dirty and cheap muggle loving family eh?" Draco asked seeing Jade step up to him.
"Don't bring your mother into this Malfoy. Your mother indeed has a good heart, but dirty and cheap muggle loving people like us have no interest taking advantage over her property. Let me remind you again, in case you forgot that your mother had written you off from the will." Jade said snapping her finger at him.
"Did she really?" What on earth did you do to deserve that? You're such an angel!" Ginny said sarcastically.
"His mother caught him trying to sabotage me. Sad isn't it?" Jade asked hearing Ginny laugh. Draco glared at the two and left before any further humiliation.
"Did you see his face? I'm not an anorexic little girl!" Ginny mocked, bursting into laughter again. Jade laughed and shrugged.
"But I think we went too far. I think we really did hurt his feelings." Jade said seeing Ginny look outraged.
"What?! Are you out of your mind? That's what we're here for! To make him cry!" Ginny said.
"All right! That's enough for tonight. Let's go to sleep." Jade said closing the lights.
"I still don't understand why you said that! Went too far…are you mad?" Ginny asked.
"OK I'm sorry! Now can we sleep please?" Jade asked.
"Only on one condition." Ginny said. "And what's that?" Jade asked.
"You embarrass Malfoy, first thing in the morning, in front of his parents." Ginny said and Jade nodded.
"Deal, now sleep."
"Good night Jade." Ginny yawned.
"Goodnight Ginny." said Jade.
