We Fight, We Fall - Chapter 11

Bella P.O.V.

"Please Mr. Malfoy, please? You can't just let her live on the streets," I was scared. What would happen if he says no? I was begging, as I stood in Mr. Malfoy's office, with swollen eyes and her school bag, Iris was in my bedroom, probably still crying.

"No, absolutely not." He said, sure and confident. I looked to Narcissa for help she was just staring blankly at the wall. "Bella, that's my final answer."

I knew if this was a problem back at home, my mom, my dad even would have let Iris stay. Malfoy hasn't even thought about it! I walked out of the study door, I closed it behind me, I heard, "Lucius, she's just a child," Thank you Cissa for being on my side.

I swiftly walked into my bedroom pushing the door softly behind me. Iris jumped up and carried herself sloppy to me. "He said no," her face fell, "But Narcissa is trying to talk him into it," She embraced me into a hug, I hugged her back.

"Thank you so much,"

I laughed, "You can't thank me. I didn't do anything."

"No, but you tried, you talked to him, what else could you have done?" I shrugged.

We sat up in my room, while Iris told me what happened. That she came home from school late because she missed her bus and had to walk all of the way home. When her dad is stressed, he locks himself into his study with a bottle of whiskey. When her mom gets stressed she just starts drinking, unlike her husband she doesn't lock herself away. When Iris walked in, her mom started yelling, and finally kicked her out. Iris didn't know where else to go.

When Narcissa came up, Iris' hair had stuck to her face from her crying. "Well ladies it looks like were going to have to stop by your house Iris, before we go shopping, to pick up your belongings. I believe that shopping always seems to cheer me up." She said. I leaped off my bed into her arms. I wasn't hugging her because she was taking us shopping, I hate shopping but I was glad she talked Mr. Malfoy into letting Iris stay. She was taken back.

Narcissa whispered "But she can't know," I pulled away, I lightly nodded my head.

"Narcissa, I can't thank you enough,"

Iris stepped in, "Yeah, Mrs. Malfoy, thank you so much," a sour look appeared on Narcissa's face.

"Iris, please, it's Narcissa, Mrs. Malfoy just sounds so…" searching for the prefect word, "Old." Iris nodded, and blushed. "Well I'll leave you ladies to get cleaned up, be ready in a half."

She was about to close the door when I said, "When's he coming home?" I knew that this wasn't the time or place for this but it was itching at me.

She completely froze, turning back, "Whenever we truly need him. Around June, Bella," and with that she walked out the door.

At Iris' her mom was on the sofa crying into a dish of ice cream. I don't even think she noticed us come in. her house was big not as big as the manor but still big. Her room was an awkward shade of honey. We striped the lime green covers off her bed, also got all of her clothes. While we did all of this Narcissa went to talk to Krissy or Aaron Iris' parents. "Anything else you need?" I said walking into her bedroom after running down to the car to get the boxes we brought.

"My pictures, music, shoes, bathroom stuff, oh and Bella, I would really like to have my dresser," I looked over at it. The dresser was empty because we emptied her clothes out of it, but it had a mirror with pictures taped onto it, and was covered with tons of different things from make up to hair products.

I took some bags that we had packed down to the truck. On my way back I heard Narcissa talking to Aaron, "No, Aaron she'll be fine with us. Keep your money it looks like you'll need it for that wife of yours…" I waited to hear more.

"Don't talk about my wife like that," Fire lit up in his eyes, I thought he was going to hit Narcissa, "Iris is a pain you'll need it, she's a money waster, doesn't do good in school," I forced myself to walk away, what kind of dad talks about their daughter like that? I hoped he wasn't always this rude and he was just drunk. Once we got all of the bags and boxes down stairs and into the car we got Narcissa to help us with the dresser. "It was my grandma's," Iris said as we closed the trunk.

We went to the manor and dropped off the truck, Narcissa told us to stay were we where as she ran into the house, I figured that she was telling Spike and maybe even the other elves were to put Iris' things.

To the mall we took a different car. How many human cars can a wizarding family even own?! But instead of asking my question I just stay silent. "If you want anything, get it," Narcissa said to the two of us.

Iris looked worried, "Mrs. - Narcissa I don't have any money," she blushed.

"Don't worry; sweet you're -to some extent- apart of the family now," she looked at me, "You two will need some dresses, Draco comes home around June, we're having a party, because as you know Bella he graduates," Now it's my turn to blush, as my hand flies to my necklace, with his ring still on it. He graduates, while I still have my senior year.

Narcissa took as into the nearest dress store and started throwing dresses at us. From the dressing room I could no longer see the shinny floors with the lights reflecting off of them. Just me, alone with about 8 dresses and a very white curtain behind me. I looked pale not because I hate shopping because I miss Draco. I slid out of my jeans and shirt. The first dress I tried on was a blood red one, strapless, it fell just passed the middle of my thighs. I moved the curtain out of the way; Iris was waiting for me in her first dress too. We walked to the end of the hallway to a big mirror; Iris was in a brown long dress, also strapless.

We looked away from our reflections to each other and we scrunched up our noses and shook our heads.

We headed back to the dressing rooms. I switched into a black one which was mid-shin that bunched up at my stomach. Under my breast there was a light pink ribbon around the dress. The ribbon danced around the bottom of the dress as the thick straps fell off my shoulders.

We yet again walked to the end of the hallway, "Damn, Bell you have to get that,"

"Maybe, where's Narcissa?" I glanced around.

"Here girls," Narcissa appeared out of a dressing room throwing the curtain over her shoulder. Her thin figure was in a lime green knee length dress. "Oh, Isabella, you are getting that," she smiled. "Oh and Iris that too,"

The dress Iris had on was simply jaw dropping. It was purple, and half way through diagonally changed tint. It had spaghetti straps, it fell to her knees, it was painted in glitter, and it made her coco eyes pop art.

The next dresses we tried on were both white and floor length, too summery.

I skipped the pink flowered one that reminded me of Pretty in Pink.

"Bella what do you think of this one?"

"Iris, I like it," Said Narcissa.

I pulled up the strap of the next one and stepped out of the curtain. Iris was at the mirror, her hands at her stomach that quickly moved to the straps. The first thing I noticed was how bronze her skin was in that golden, floor length, also showered in glitter. Cissa was standing behind Iris looking over her shoulder, "It's perfect, don't you agree, Bella?"

"Wow, yes it is," I smiled at both of them.

"You too, Bella," Narcissa added. I hadn't even looked at myself yet. It was a green with a sliver see through mesh layered over it, the bottom started above my knee and stopped in the middle of my shin, he straps criss-crossed in the back. For some reason I thought of Draco, he would probably laugh at the sight of me, I look ridiculous.

By the end of the dreadful day we each ended up with three dresses and four pairs of jeans, new jackets and as many shoes as we needed for our dresses. We also picked up some things for our bedrooms. Needless to say, Narcissa enjoyed spoiling us rotten.

My other dress was a floor length, strapless, orange one. Iris got a light blue one that goes to the middle of her shins it was plain and so not like Iris but she liked it and it liked her.


Draco P.O.V.

I was in the Slytherin common room; it was almost 1 in the morning. I could hardly sleep anymore, I couldn't stay awake in class and I couldn't pay attention when I was awake. I would do anything to be at home with Bella. I pulled out a piece of parchment.

My Isabella,

I can't wait to see you. In a few months I'll come home to stay forever. Have you started school yet? Tell me how that's been for you. School is such a pain for me. I wait till June, and I'll be done for the rest of my life. Please convince my Mum to let you write back, I need to hear from you. I miss you. Got to go.

Be Safe,

Draco.

I'll send it tomorrow; I thought as I slid it into my pocket and dozed off into a light sleep on the black leather sofa.

I woke up to someone sighing. I jumped up not knowing where I was. While jumping I banged heads with that person. "Ow! Draco!" Pansy.

"What are you doing?" Not caring really, but wondering what time it was.

"I just saw you down here so I came to see what you were doi-- "

"Pansy, what's the time?"

Taken back she replied, "Oh, I don't know about 8:30," 8:30?!

"Shit, Pansy I'm late!" her bottom lip stuck out.

"Oh well Drakey-Poo, I was thinking we could skip today," she smiled flirty at me.

"Not today," I shook my head, "not any day, not ever."

She looked hurt, she'll just go off and snog someone else anyway. I grabbed my school bag off the foot of the sofa, and ran to double potions with Gryffindor, without Harry Potter, the weasel or the mud-blood.

I came to the closed door, I'm late. I pushed it open, "Mr. Malfoy, nice of you to finally join us,"


A/N: Hello, River here, so what'd you think? Tell us please review, many asked for Draco's point of view well there it was. I hope you enjoyed the dress part as much as I enjoyed writing it. :] Josey, the surprise was the DPOV but then I realized I already had you read it before I typed, how upsetting.

P.P.S. Thanks so much for the 15,000+ hits so far! It means so much, we just wish that those fav/alert people who don't normally review, WOULD review! We aren't complaining about what we have, because we have lots of faithful reviewers, but we really want to know what the other people think too! So if you just read this and then don't do anything, maybe review sometime! I'm not trying to be condescending (this is Josey, just by the way), but reviews mean A LOT! :)
