When I woke up the next day, Narcissa was just coming in with jeans and a t-shirt for me. I saw that they were my favourite pair as well when I quickly got changed. I slipped on my shoes and laced them up before following her out of the hospital. She took me down the muggel high street and down an alley before Mr. Malfoy apperated me to the citadel. I went straight down to the potions lab and stood in the open door way watching Snape work quickly to get the potion finished before he started working on the next one. I eventually walked in and stood next to him as I started making a potion of my own.
"How are you?" he asked without looking up at me.
"It was an accident you know" I said as I carefully chopped up some leaves.
"I know. You just really scared me and made me worry, I hate feeling like that about someone" he said pulling me into a hug.
I hugged him back and buried my head down in his chest. We stood like that for a while until Temperance slithered in and wound herself around my left wrist like she always did. We carried on with the potions in silence and when I had finished making my potion, I went up to see Voldemort. I found him pacing his study before a small group of Death Eaters. I walked straight in and the Death Eaters bowed to me.
"Lady Andrea" they said with relieved sighs.
Voldemort gave me a one armed hug before carrying on with what he had been saying. I stayed in the room but stood to one side at to not disturb them.
"If anything goes wrong, then I will take action against you" he told them.
They all bowed and left. Voldemort turned to me and indicated a seat. I sat down and waited for him to start talking.
"Was it an attempt to hurt yourself?" he asked.
"No grandfather, it was an accident. I lost control of my powers" I shook my head.
He nodded and sat down in his seat facing me.
"It's Christmas eve tomorrow. Have you got everything ready for Yule?" he asked.
"Yes I have" I nodded.
"Good girl. We are having a ball on Yule day. I expect you to dress properly for it" he told me.
"Properly?" I asked.
"A dress and a robe" he told me.
"Yes grandfather" I said.
"I got you a dress and a robe for it as well" he said pulling a new dress and robe out of a box.
It was a beautiful dark purple belted knee length dress and the robe was a deep blue. I stared at it.
"You can wear it if you want or you can wear the one that your mother got you" he said.
"I like this one" I nodded.
He smiled and sent me to my room with it. When I got to my room, I saw all my friends sitting on my bed waiting for me. I put the dress away before they all jumped on me. Temperance slithered away angrily because she lost her place on my wrist.
"The Dark Lord is letting us stay for Yule with you to keep you company at the ball" Blasé smiled when we all sat down again.
"Thank Merlin for that. I thought I was going to have to actually talk to the adults there" I joked.
They all laughed. We all sat there chatting for most of the day until it was dinner time. We all went to the dinning hall and went in. Everyone was standing waiting for us. They all sat down my right hand side with Snape while everyone else sat down my left hand side. We all sat down and plates were given to us. Everyone started going over plans for the attack at the end of the school year.
"What you are forgetting is the fact that one of us has to go after Potter when he has the prophecy and actually take it from him" I spoke up.
"That's true. Severus won't be able to do it because he will be at the school trying to alert the Order as planned" McNair said.
"There is a huge possibility that Potter will have his friends with him when he goes to the Minestry, when we get there, several of us will have to hold back his friends so we can get the prophecy" I told them.
My friends all looked impressed with what I had worked out.
"If Potter's friends are there, then won't they alert the Order that you are one of us?" Bellatrix asked.
"It'll get them off my back in school" I shrugged.
They all saw reason in that.
"Lucius" Voldemort said.
"Yes my Lord" he answered.
"You shall be the one to retrieve the prophecy from Potter and when you have got it off him, you shall be the one to bring Andrea back here before Severus comes and takes her back to school before anyone but the Slytherin house notices that she has gone" he said.
They all agreed and with that, me and my friends were sent to entertain ourselves. We all sat on my bed chatting and making different coloured sparks with our wands. As it got later and later, single beds appeared around the room one for each of them. We all eventually went to bed and lay talking until we all eventually fell asleep one by one.
