By late afternoon Charlotte fell asleep with her head on Malfoy's lap.

"Mr. Malfoy" said the conductor over the intercom " We'll be at Malfoy Manor in 5 min."

"Char,baby, wake up," Malfoy said gently " We're almost there."

She slowly sat up and fixed her hair " how do I look?"

"Beautiful, as usual, of course" he replied smugly

In 3 min. they could see Malfoy Manor. It was HUGE!! It was ,made of white marble, with hints of green. Of course you could barely see it in the blurry of snow outside.

"Wow!" Charlotte exclaimed

"You like it, really?" he asked

"It's better than what I've been living in for the past 10 years lets put it that way." she said

The train stopped 5 yards away from the front door. Where ,Charlotte guessed, Mr. And Mrs. Malfoy were waiting

"Come on." Malfoy said taking her hand and leading her to them

"Hello Mother, Hello Father." he said respectfully

"Draco." his father replied coolly

His mother however hugged him. " Draco! How've you been dear?"

"Fine Mother, since Charlotte came into my life" he said pulling Charlotte forward.

Mrs. Malfoy hugged her as well. "Thank you for making my boy so happy." she exclaimed

Mr. Malfoy stepped forward and shook her hand "Pleased to meet you Ms Potter." he said in his cold voice then he saw the scar. "Ah, That's what the Dark Lord gave you"

"Voldemort killed my parents he was a blood thirsty murderer" she said

Mrs. Malfoy interrupted " Charlotte turn around please."

Charlotte did as she was told.

"Well, she needs a few lady lessons before the big Christmas Eve party. Plus I've arranged a press conference with The Daily Prophet to formally announce your relationship, the day after Christmas. Now come Charlotte I want to show you Draco's baby pictures!" she led Charlotte inside the manor.

"Mother!" Malfoy squealed following them.

The inside of the manor was even more extravagant than the outside. Silk, leather and satin furniture was in every room.

Charlotte sat on the parlor leather sofa, and Malfoy sat across from her, blushing madly.

"Here we are" said Mrs. Malfoy sat next to Charlotte and opened a large photo album. "Now this was the day Draco was born." she handed Charlotte a picture

"Oh, he was so cute!" Charlotte exclaimed " and so tiny!"

"Yes 21 in. 8 lb. And 1 oz."

Malfoy blushed deeper.

"What's the matter Draco?" teased Charlotte " Embarrassed?"

He scowled.

After dinner Mrs. Malfoy told Malfoy to show Charlotte to her room

"Here it is." he said opening the door.

The room was beautiful. A queen sized bed covered in a hot pink comforter. Her clothes in a large closet. But the best part was she didn't have to share it!

"It's perfect!" she said laying on the bed.

"I'll be right back" Malfoy said going into his room right next to hers.

She took the opportunity to get her nightgown and go behind the dressing screen.

He came back in a pair of Royal Blue pajama pants. "May I kiss you?" he asked

"YES!!" she exclaimed running to him.

He held her to him and pressed his lips to hers.

She snaked her fingers into his soft hair.

He began to talk in between kisses. " I..love..you..so much..nothing will..tear us apart."

Later that night Charlotte woke with a start. She was panting, and in a cold sweat.

Warm arms encased her, and she began to cry.

"Char..Please..Don't cry. What happened?" Malfoy murmured

"I ..I dreamt about my mothers death!" she sobbed.

" It's OK...I'm here..Shh." he cooed " Want me to stay with you?"

She nodded.

He got in, laid down, and laid her head on his chest. " sleep I'm here to protect you"

The next morning She woke up,. Her head was still on his chest and her arms were around him.
"Good Morning my beautiful dancing girl." he said kissing her.

That afternoon was her first lady lesson.
"Sit up Charlotte. A Malfoy never slouches!"

She sat up

" Do you like wine?" asked Mrs. Malfoy

"I've never had it." Charlotte said. "in the Muggle world the legal drinking age is 21."

"Really in our world children are brought up with a goblet or two on occasions."

Finally it was Christmas Eve night. The whole family showed up.

Charlotte dressed in a plain black dress.

"I look stupid!" she muttered

"You do not!" said a familiar voice. It was Malfoy.

He held her hand and they joined the party.

Charlotte won everyone's affections with her natural charm and beauty.

The next morning Malfoy woke her up. "Char it's Christmas!"

They raced down stairs to open presents.

Charlotte got a poodle skirt and a sweater with a "C" from Mrs. Weasley, and a lot of clothes and a lot of accessories from the Malfoys.

"Thank you!" she said

then she opened a chocolate frog from Ron, a book of difficult potions from Hermione, and a necklace fro Harry. And an Invisibility Cloak.

"Wait!" exclaimed Malfoy he got on one knee and showed his class ring " Will you be my girlfriend..officially?"

"YES! YES! YES!" she cried while she sobbed

He put the ring on her finger and kissed her lovingly.

The press conference was at 2:00 the next day.

"Draco when did this relationship start?" asked a reporter

"The day we met."

"Charlotte what is it like being his girlfriend?" asked another as the cameras clicked.

"It's the best!"

After New Years they went back to school.
