Cassie sighed and shook her head as she glanced towards the couch. "Out like lights, both of them. I don't even know why I bother anymore." she murmured standing up and slowly walking out of the den.

Making her way up the stairs, an eerily silence fell over the manor. "It's just your imagination, Cassie. Calm down." she told herself under her breath as she reached the landing atop the staircase.

As she walked down the corridor towards Narcissa's bedroom, Cassie felt her breath quicken and her heart race as she neared the door.

Reaching out to knock lightly on the door, she froze and quickly spun around intending to escape back downstairs. Just then a wave of uncharacteristic courage washed over her, causing her to turn to the door again.

"Cissy?" she asked softly as she rapped lightly on the cedar door three times.

The muffled sound of fabric rustling and muted footfalls quickly met Cassie's ears before the door slowly creaked open to reveal a woman in her fourties with waist-length white blonde hair and gentle sky blue eyes.

"Cassie? Whatever is wrong, my dear girl?" Narcissa asked ushering Cassie into her bedroom.

Cassie shook her head and smiled slightly. "Nothing's the matter, Cissy. I just needed to talk to you about something." she answered averting her eyes to the floor.

Narcissa raised an elegant eyebrow, a curious expression crossing her features. "I thought you said nothing was the matter-"

"I know, and nothing is. I just needed to make sure that you would be alright with a plan that Blaise and I have put into motion." Cassie interrupted looking apologetic.

Narcissa nodded slightly and motioned for her to continue. "Go on." she said simply.

Cassie inclined her head slightly and sighed. "It involves Draco and Ginevra Weasley." she paused studying the older woman's face for her reaction.

"We only want what's best for both of them as their best friends, of course." Cassie went on as she looked at portrait behind Narcissa.

"What exactly is this plan of yours and Blaise's, Cassie?" Narcissa asked resting her chin on atop her folded hands.

Cassie sighed heavily and finally looked into the Malfoy Matriarch's eyes. "Put simply… to make them fall in love with one another." she finally said softly, slightly apprehensive of her response.

Charlie gaped as he read the sign above the door to the club Ginny had dragged him to. "Parlour of Pleasure and Torment?!" he yelped looking at his sister disbelievingly.

"Yeah, what's wrong with it?" Ginny asked him smiling brightly as she pulled him up to the entrance.

Charlie shook his head and sighed. "Isn't this an over eighteen club, Gin?" he then asked in reply, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Ginny nodded slightly. "Yes, but I've been here with Ron and Harry. It's not that bad." she answered reluctantly as she shrugged nonchalantly.

"Alright, alright. But they're not over eighteen, either." Charlie muttered as the bouncer waved them both through the door, where their ears were met with pounding hard rock and their eyes met with the sight of young adult's dancing riotously.

"Now this is much better!" Ginny exclaimed smiling brightly up at her brother before pulling him onto the crowded dance floor.

Charlie sighed heavily as he watched his baby sister start dancing rather provocatively. "Um, Gin-Bug… do you really think you should be dancing like that?" he asked her going into the protective brother mind-set.

Ginny looked up at her brother and pouted. "Oh c'mon, Prince Char…" she teased him, using Cassie's nickname for him. "It's not all that bad… besides no one's even noticed me."

"Ginny…" Charlie said warningly cringing slightly upon hearing the nickname. "No one's noticed you yet, you mean…"

"Oh, you've gone and put quite a blot on my fun, you know that, Charlie?" Ginny asked pouting slightly as she stopped dancing.

Charlie chuckled softly. "No, but thanks for telling me." he replied flippantly as he waved a hand nonchalantly.

Ginny rolled her eyes and scoffed. "You guys never change. You act like you understand then go and pull something like this…" she complained crossing her arms over her chest.

"Oi, lighten up, Ginny. I'm just trying to have a little fun meself." Charlie said holding his hands up in defense in fear of bring forth his sister's temper.

"Oi, lighten up, Charlie." Ginny retorted mockingly, rolling her eyes. "I wish Cass was here, she'd liven things up. Like she did at that Slytherin-Gryffindor party last year…"

Charlie's eyebrows rose slowly. "What Slytherin-Gryffindor party last year?" he asked trying to seem blasé about the subject.

Ginny's face flushed slightly as she cringed slightly. "Well, it was more like Draco, Zabini, Cassie and I… and a few others." she explained vaguely, not realizing that she had said 'Draco', instead of 'Malfoy'.

"I see, I see. Is this the party where you started falling for Draco?" Charlie questioned, still trying to play nonchalant as he noticed his sister's slip up.

"What? What did you just say?" Ginny asked her brother slightly bewildered, her chocolate eyes wide.

Narcissa stared at the girl sitting in front of her for a few moments. "Are you sure you want to do this?" she finally asked softly, her lips pursed.

Cassie sighed softly and nodded slightly. "Yes, Cissy. We're sure we want to do this." she replied, sighing again.

"We think it's the best thing for both of them at this point and in the future." Cassie then added, sitting up a little straighter.

Narcissa sighed a little and closed her eyes. "In the future?" she asked, opening her eyes again to gaze at Cassie.

"Of course, when Blaise and I plan, we plan big." Cassie responded as she slowly stood up. "I do hate to be rude, but I must excuse myself back downstairs."

"No, no, not at all. But do keep me updated, won't you?" Narcissa asked as she too, stood up and walked Cassie to the door.

A slight smile tugged at Cassie's lips as she listened to Narcissa. "Naturally, Cissy. Naturally." she answered opening the door and quickly slipping out of the room.

"Hmm, I do hope they don't get caught." Narcissa said softly, shaking her head slightly as she made her way back to bed.

Sorry for the wait! Okay, how was it? I'll love ya forever if ya let me know! Hopefully I'll update again in the next few days!
