Note from the Author: Hey guys! So this chapter is a little weird. The first part of it I tried writing it as the narrator to try it out, but I decided I didn't like it so I changed it back to first person. So please review! For all the readers that read this I hardly have any reviews :( Much love! xoxo ~
Disclaimer: I don't anything. We all know this.
Chapter X
Tap, tap, tap.
"Mmmm", Celestra groaned, turning over.
Tap, tap, tap.
She squented her eyes open and sat up. She realized she was in bed and something was tapping on her window. She looked around and saw the almost 15 people were crammed into her room.
"What the hell?" she groaned, sitting up. She looked next to her. Draco was laying on his back, his arm was underneath her and Pansy and Blaise crammed themselves on the bed too. There were various other people she didn't even know strewn across the floor of her room.
Tap, tap, tap.
"Ugh, I'm coming", she mumbled, throwing her covers off of her and going to her window. She opened it and she grabbed a note from the owl who had woken her up.
"Bastard", she mumbled shutting her window. She felt awful. How much did she drink last night?
She opened up the note: Celestra, Please come see me as soon as you can. We need to talk about some things. -Professor McGonagoll
Her eyebrows knitted in confusion, but she got dress.
Should I wake up the party? she frowned jumping over people to get to her closet. Nah, whatever. She quickly through on some clothes before people could see her in her underwear and left.
"Hey mum", she smiled entering their home. Her mother was sitting in at their table grading some homework.
"Hello dear", she smiled, standing up and hugging her. Celestra hugged back," So what's up?"
"Oh nothing. Just checking in to see how your classes and friends are doing", she smiled oddly and sat down.
"Fine", Celestra answered with curiousity," Why do you ask?"
"A mother can't ask her daughter how her life is going?" she laughed at me.
Celestra laughed and sat down across from her," You're right, sorry."
"So how are you and your friends getting along?" mum asked.
"We're good. Pansy and I are becoming really good friends actually", Celestra told her, smiling. She's never had a really close best friend before and Pansy was becoming just that.
"And what about Mr. Malfoy?" mum asked her again, but raising and eyebrow.
"What about he and I?" Celestra asked, leaning forwards.
"My dear, everyone saw his display of affection towards you yesterday", she informed her daughter.
"So?" Celestra raised her voice," Maybe he's starting to develop feelings towards me."
"I just don't know if that's ultimately the best decision honey", her mother told her with sympathy.
"Why?" Celestra challenged. She had no right to tell her not to see Draco...
"Well honey, he just doesn't have the most..." her mother tried to explain," Great past. I mean, he let Death Eaters into our school."
"You told me he was forced to", she retorted.
"I did and he was. He has also done a lot horrible things though", her mother tried to stand her side.
"That doesn't mean he's changed", Celestra stood up for him," You even told me how he's a bright young man who has changed considerably considering his past."
"I did and I mean that, but I just don't like him for you!" her mother yelled at her. Celestra was taken aback. Her mother never yelled at her.
"He is to much for you. He can be a very dark person if he needs to be and I don't want him putting anything in your head", her mother threw her arm forwards.
"So that's it? I can't think for myself? He's going to corrupt me because I can't possibly make my own decisions?" Celestra questioned.
"Celestra, that's not what I meant", her mother told her," I'm just trying to say I don't trust him and his family."
"You don't even know him!" Celestra stood up from her chair.
"I know enough!" her mother shouted back," Where are you going?"
"I'm going back to my house to calm down enough to talk to you", Celestra told her, making her way towards the door," And then afterwards, I'm going to Dumbledore to get his opinion."
With that Celestra left and slammed the door behind her.
"Ugh, how dare she tell me who I can and cannot like!" Celestra yelled, walking into her room.
Apparently several people were still sleeping because her yelling woke several people.
"Everyone out!" she yelled, not taking care to stepping on people," Out now! This isn't a hotel. Out!"
Everyone shot her dirty looks and started gathering their things, filing out of her door. Draco, Pansy, and Blaise took their time waking up.
"Seriously, you guys too. Get out please!" she yelled at them, walking over to her bed, pushing Draco's body.
"Celest, what is your damage?" Pansy moaned, her hair sticking up everywhere.
"I need you all out, now!" she told them, she tried to push Draco's body again, but a hand shot out and grabbed her arm.
"Don't even think about doing that again", he threatened her. He sat up, and smoothing his hair back," What is your issue? When did you get up?"
"An hour ago", she impatiently answered him.
"Why do we need to go?" Blaise sneered.
"I don't know", Celestra sighed and went and sat down in her fluffly chair.
"What's wrong?" Draco got up from the bed and stretched. Pansy got up and went to Celestra's closet to change.
"My mother", she spat out, and glared her eyes.
"Did she owl you?" Draco asked, sitting back onto the bed.
"Owl? Oh yeah", I nodded. I can't very well tell them that my mum lives at school with me, let alone be head of Gryffindor...
"So what'd she say?" Pansy asked, holding up clothes to herself in my mirror.
"Sure Pans, help yourself to my clothes", I snorted at her," I don't mind at all."
She gave me a shit eating grin before turning back to my closet.
"Well?" Blaise asked again.
"She just said that she doesn't approve of some of the life decisions I have made lately", I spat out.
Draco's eyebrows knitted together," Like what?"
"It's nothing", I waved my hand," I gotta go though."
I stood up and made way to leave, but Draco stood up.
"Where are you off to now?" he asked, trying to stand in front of me.
"I just have to go and discuss some things", I told him trying to make way for the door again.
"What things?" he tried to laugh it off, but I could see the curiousity behind his eyes," And with who?"
"Just things Draco", I gave a short laugh," I'll be back soon."
I left him with my explanation and exited the house.
"Minerva, I'm surprised at you", Dumbeldore told her.
"You have to understand my concern Albus", my mother tried to stand up for herself," Anybody would have my concerns given the boys past."
"We are about looking towards the future, not the past", Dumbledore corrected her.
"That's what I was trying to say", I agreed, looking out the window.
"My dear, you don't know this boy as well as we do", my mother pleaded.
"Just because someone was wrong in the past, doesn't mean they can't change", I glared at her," You always taught me to accept people and look for their good side."
"She's right Minerva", Dumbledore agreed with me," What are you being so paranoid about?
"I just don't trust his family", mother admitted," I don't want them finding out who and what she is and they put two and two together."
"I can take care of myself", I told them.
"Although you make excellent points Minerva, Celestra is at the age of 17. She is considered a legal adult in the wizarding world. Free to choose whom she wants to associate herself with. And that doesn't mean you aren't her parent, but you have to let her become a woman Minerva. She can't be your baby forever", Albus explained.
I looked at mum, who's eyes brimmed with tears and I thought she was going to yell and fight, but she simply just smiled and blinked away her sadness.
"You're right Albus", she smiled sadly at me and I at her," She is growing up, but that still doesn't mean my heart is at ease with the people she has chosen as her friends, and maybe her romantic life."
"Minerva, we have no doubt as to why we should be worried about this. This is a simple thing. We should be happy and rejoice with this. Maybe her hanging out with them will be a good influence on them", Dumbledore smiled at us.
"He's right. Do you have anything to say honey? You've been awfully quiet this whole time", mum smiled at me, grabbing my hand.
"No", I smiled and shook my head," I'm just happy you finally see that you have nothing to be worried about."
Draco's POV
"How is your progress son?" Lucius Malfoy asked me through my fireplace.
"Fine. Progressing well. I think she is showing interest", I told him. I was really starting to fall for her, but there was no reason why I couldn't.
"Excellent", my fathers smiled at me," Please keep me posted."
"I will. By Christmas I plan on it being final", I smiled deviously at him.
So there it is! Review please!
