His Little Sunshine Chapter 29

Paislee found herself dozing off slightly as the sun warmed her in her cozy spot on the lounge. She was finding it extremely hard to concentrate on the page that she was currently reading in her Divinations text book so she lay it gently on her chest before closing her eyes for a few moments of peace. But just like that, she heard her mate's heavy footsteps clicking along the floor heading in her direction making her smile. Draco stopped next to where his mate lay sprawled out on the chaise lounge before leaning over and heading towards her lips. He stopped suddenly though when he spied the text book that she was currently reading. Damnit it was that bloody Divinations crap again. His face set into a scowl as flashes of their last Divinations class flew through his mind. He still was furious with their Professor for what he believed caused Paislee to start transforming.

Taking the book carefully away from his mate, he laid it on the coffee table next to the lounge and leaned down planting a soft alluring kiss on her lips making her sigh contentedly. Opening her eyes, the first thing Paislee saw was two stormy grey eyes that looked down at her with a wistful expression. "Almost ready to go, babe? It's still early. I bet we could make it to breakfast if we speed walked through the dungeons." She suggested with an airy tone to her voice. Draco's eyes widened as he looked at her like it was the first time he had ever seen her. "Love, you just got done transforming. Your powers are going to be off the charts right now. Do you really want to risk something happening and drawing more attention to you than you have already? Perhaps we should just summon a house elf before we head out on the town. I'm sure we'd be able to get even better food than what they're serving in the dining hall right this minute." Now it was Paislee's turn to scowl as she looked up at him. "Draco I can't hide away forever. And I'll be damned if you keep me locked up in this apartment for a week straight. I need to get out and see the world. I can feel it Draco I'm ready." Draco took in her determined expression before sighing and running a hand through his slicked back platinum blonde hair. "I know you're ready love, the question is, is the world ready for you?" He mumbled before turning back to her. Paislee stuck out her bottom lip and gave him the best big doe eyes expression that she could muster making him roll his eyes and groan in despair. "Sweetheart, must you tug on my heartstrings this early in the morning? I don't think I can bear to see that look without a fire whiskey…."

Paislee giggled and knew that she had won him over. No man could ever resist it when she gave them that look. Especially not her mate who doted on her. He offered her his hand and she gracefully lifted herself off of the lounge before looping her arm through his and leaning up giving him a swift peck on the cheek before they made their way out of the apartment and down the corridors of the dungeons. She took a moment to take in his silver and white striped crisp cotton dress shirt and his black dress trousers that fit him to a tee along with his dragon scale black dress shoes. The Rolex on his wrist was a nice touch as well. Her mate just screamed power and aristocracy as they strutted proudly through the halls. Everyone stopped and stared at them as they walked by and both of them ignored the curious and even jealous looks as they turned the corner and into the Great Hall. Upon entering the hall fell silent except for the click clack of Paislee's heels as she held her head high and tightened her grip on Draco's arm. Draco had behaved for so long everyone was shocked and drew in a deep breath when he sneered and glared around the room positioning himself closer to his mate. Harry and Ron looked to each other before shrugging and going back to their food. Hermione looked over Paislee's outfit with a look that hinted at jealousy. Luna Lovegood was sitting right next to Harry when she sighed dreamily and turned to Harry shocking the life out of him. "Aren't her wings beautiful? They look silky soft. I wonder if she'd let me pet them?" Harry and Hermione exchanged a knowing look before Harry turned back and nodded non committedly at Luna. Looking over next to Luna he noticed that Bodi the boy twin of the transfer student pair that had recently started at Hogwarts looked like he was in a silent conversation at his sister who sat at the Slytherin table. He found it strange that they both wore such heavy expressions and wondered what it was that had upset them.

When Draco and Paislee reached the head of the Slytherin table, Draco was pushed away from Paislee as Astoria, Pansy, Theo and Blaise engulfed her in a gigantic Slytherin sandwich making her choke on air that had seemed to escape her lungs. Draco laughed as Paislee squirmed in their grasp, trying to get them to free her but to no avail. "Lee Lee, we were so worried about you! Are you alright? How did the transformation go? Did it hurt like a bitch like Professor Snape said it would?" The questions went on and on as Paislee started turning blue which Draco immediately noticed and tapped their friends on the back signaling for them to loosen their grips. "Now now everyone. I think we ought to let my mate breath alright? I don't' fancy taking her to the hospital wing for a second time in a row. How about we all sit down and catch up while we eat? I'm sure Paislee's starving with not having eaten anything since a day ago."

Stepping back, the girls looped their arms through Paislee's and pulled her down to sit at the table and helped her fill her plate while the guys swaggered over to where Draco sat and took a seat on either side of him giving him pats on the back and small smiles. Throughout their meal, Paislee and Draco recounted everything that happened minus a few intimate details and told them to be on their guard if Paislee's magic got out of control somehow. By the end of the meal, everyone was full and happy to have their favorite couple back on their feet. Right when everyone was about to get up and leave the table, they all froze as they turned to see Kinga Kazimir standing next to the table right where Paislee sat. Everyone's eyes narrowed as they saw the mysterious girl smile at Paislee and reached out to lay a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Hello Paislee. I heard you weren't feeling that well these past few days. I came to see if you were feeling any better. My brother and I were going to come see you in the hospital wing but had to floo home for a family emergency." Draco sneered and made to stand up but was pushed back down by Theo and Blaise who were watching the exchange carefully. "Why do you care so much? It's not like you've been around lately as a friend to any of us." Kinga turned her violet eyes on Draco and quirked an eyebrow at him before turning back to Paislee. "If you ever need anything, please let my brother and I know. We do value your friendship, Paislee. No matter what your boyfriend might think." She said as she shot a look over Paislee's shoulder at Draco. Paislee looked like a deer caught in headlights but soon steeled her expression and frowned at the girl. "He's my fiancée, not my boyfriend. And I don't take kindly to people who upset him or my other friends. I doubt I'll be needing any help from the two of you. Now if you excuse us, we have to take our leave now." Kinga's eyes widened momentarily before a darkness shrouded over her violet orbs. "Be careful with your words, Paislee dear. You never know what trouble you'll cause with them…" She said before she turned and strutted out of the hall with her brother chasing after her. Paislee turned to Draco and their friends and smiled humorlessly. "Looks like we just made an enemy. Time up the stakes." Draco nodded and walked towards her wrapping an arm around her waist before placing a gentle kiss on her temple. "Bloody seems like it, eh? Time to gather our wits about us and keep a look out for any signs of a threat. Theo and Blaise, I expect you to keep an eye out for any strange goings on with the likes of those two. If they're going to make a move, they should've already done it by now. Something just seems not right about all of this. I expect an update every night, understood?" Blaise and Theo bowed low as did Pansy and Astoria before Draco turned and tucked Paislee's arm around his and walked with a purpose out of the Great Hall. Times were going to get tough. The question now was when.
