The Greengrass family was a rich and well-bred pureblood family. Gregoria Greengrass and her husband Mathonius were strong supporters of Voldemort and pureblood mania. They had two daughters, Daphne (the eldest by one year) and Astoria. Astoria was adventurous and compassionate. Daphne was quiet and reserved. The two girls were inseparable, having no other playmates in the big manor.
Daphne! No one will see us! pleaded Astoria. I'm not going to act crazy, what if one of the servants catches us? replied Daphne. Daph, you know that no one could catch us. I'm a very fast runner and you can talk your way out of anything. coaxed Astoria. Oh fine. groaned Daphne as her younger sister pulled her towards the great hall. Now the Greegrasses had a large entrance hall and a big staircase that showed how rich they were (Astoria always scoffed at that). Catch me? said Daphne with a tremble of fear in her voice. Coward. replied Astoria and slid down giggling. Come on Daph! she yelled from the bottom. Daphne slid down as well and remembered how fun it was. They ran up and slid down again and again. Alright lets make things interesting. said Astoria a mischievous look in her eye. Oh no. said Daphne. Astoria took her shoes off and stood on the banister. They didn't notice the great doors opening. She started to slide and landed in a heap at the bottom of the stairs, right in front of her parents and the Malfoys. Then she realized and stood up. Daphne quickly joined her. Their father glared at them fiercely. We are so going to pay. muttered Astoria. It's all your fault. Daphne hissed back. Girls these are the Malfoys. Astoria, meet Draco. drawled her father. Charmed. said Draco with a forced smile. Astoria scowled at the carpet. Daphne nudged her. Say something. she muttered. Draco. said Astoria coldly. She looked up and caught his smirk. Creep. she muttered. Unfortunately her father caught that. Astoria, control your tongue. he hissed at her. Would you control your tongue if you had to marry some pyscho you've never met before. spat Astoria. Astoria! gasped her mother. I've had enough of this. snarled her father. Actually sir it's quite interesting to see my future wife lose herself, her complexion looks quite good all red like that. sneered Draco. Astoria slapped him across the face. Your complexion doesn't look quite that bad anymore. she retorted before running off down the hall. Narcissa took her son into her arms and examined him carefully. Get off mum. said Draco quietly, aware of the smirk he was receiving from Daphne. Can I show you to your rooms Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy? said Mrs. Greengrass smoothly. Daphne made to run after her sister but her father clamped her to his side in what appeared to be a affectionate manner. I'll deal with you later. he snarled under his breath before releasing her. Astoria meanwhile was in the garden ranting. It's not fair. she grumbled. And that Malfoy boy. she sneered. He can't control himself. Future wife indeed. She started to pace. He thinks he's so smart with his hair slicked down like that. He looks like a salamander. she said fiercely. Do I really? said Draco walking up to her. Finally got away from mummy did we? said Astoria glaring at him. He looked surprised. Oh please like I didn't see that? she scoffed. Quite the temper. Are you stubborn too? said Draco. To a fault. answered Astoria glaring at him. Little lion will be hard to tame. he smirked. Please like you can tame me, Malfoy. She gave him an equal smirk. Come now you're 15, I'm 16, we're old enough to be civilized. he said stepping closer. Get away from me. said Astoria with clenched teeth. Your not moving. he replied. She stepped away from him. Better? Not really. he said smiling and taking her hand. She tried to pull it away but he only held on tighter. Lion likes to fight. he said quietly. Then he pulled her into a kiss. When they broke apart she spit on the ground and wiped her mouth. You bloody Malfoy! she cursed spitting even more. Please like you didn't enjoy that. scoffed Malfoy. I didn't enjoy it at all! said Astoria angrily before stalking off. He grinned. She's one heck of a girl. he said to himself.
