A/N: Thank you for the review! I'm glad you want more. Well, here it is!
"Perfect! The ground is nice and flat right here, and it's far away from the manor so no one will hear our music. We could sing at the top of our lungs and no one would hear us."
"We better get back inside. Dinner is in an hour and we have to dress up and all that jazz."
We broke out into singing "All that Jazz." We made the long journey back to our room and changed. We also did each other's hair and makeup.
I had on a blood red dress, matching shoes, half of my hair in a clip; diamond dangling earrings, dark eyes, and lips that matched my dress. Eponine had a different style dress, but it was the same color as mine. Our hair was the same, except she had straight black hair and I had straight blond hair, shoes that went perfectly with her dress, earrings that matched mine, dark eyes, and the same lips.
What can I say? We liked to match and color coordinate. We were the hottest girls in our year at Beauxbatons. However, we were always forbidden to date any of the boys there. Our fathers didn't approve of their social status.
We made our way downstairs and followed other guests into the dinning hall. There was a long table full of guests who were sitting and waiting for dinner to start. All of the adults were down at one end and their children at the other.
The heads at both ends of the table were reserved for Lucius and Draco. I figured it was to show that Lucius was the entertainer and ruler of the house and adult guests, and Draco the same for the younger guests. Anyone who was still in school was sitting at the end for the offspring, and anyone who was out of school sat at the end for the adults.
Since it was a formal dinner, if you were in a relationship then you were to sit across from your significant other. Unless your significant other was sitting at the head of the table. Then you would sit in the seat on the left side of the table that was closets to the seat at the head. I noticed Mary was sitting in that seat so I figured that Draco and Mary were dating.
"Eponine, will you do me the honor of being my date?" I asked.
"I thought you'd never ask." She said.
We linked arms and I walked her over to the chair next to Blaise. I pulled it out for her and she sat down. Then I walked around the table and sat down across from her and next to Pansy.
We struck up a conversation with them, but not shortly after that two big, fat, and not to mention, ugly guys walked over and sat down next to Eponine and me. Eponine and I exchanged grossed out looks, but Blaise, Pansy, and Mary smiled.
"Hey Crabbe! Hey Goyle! How's your summer going?" Blaise asked the two giants.
"Great." The one next to me that I later found out to be Crabbe said.
"How's yours?" The one next to Eponine, Goyle, asked.
"Pretty good. Have you met Eponine and Cosette?" Blaise asked.
"No."
Blaise introduced us, and they gave us perverted smiles as they shook our hands. Just as Eponine and I thought there would be no hope Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco entered. Everyone stood up. He smiled and motioned for us to sit down as they took their places at the table.
Lucius remained standing and cleared his throat.
"Welcome everyone to our home. I am certain that you will find your stay here enjoyable. As you know, this week is mainly aimed for socializing and arranging marriages. We do after all have to keep our blood and family names pure." Lucius said.
Eponine and I rolled our eyes and looked at each other with 'can you believe this guy?' looks on our faces. I swear all these people cared about were their reputation, social status, image, and family names.
"Now some of you younger ones may be disappointed at the final outcome of who you are marrying, but the decision is up to us, the parents. You should know by Sunday who your spouse will be. Now enough talking, let us eat!" Lucius said.
He sat down and everyone began serving themselves food and talking. Eponine and I talked to Blaise, Pansy, Mary, and Draco. They did talk to Crabbe and Goyle, and Eponine and I avoided talking to them as much as possible.
There was another set of two boys and two girls. James and Sarah McNair, and Josh and Julie Bradner. They were friends with the crowd too, and the James and Josh were just as friendly to us as the rest, but their sisters were rude.
Once dinner was over everyone went to bed. Except for Eponine and me. We changed into leotards, tights, too-too's, and point shoes. We grabbed my stereo and made our way to our secret spot.
We danced to the sound of The Nutcracker for half an hour. We were having so much fun, but the late hour of the night got the better of us. We went back inside and fell asleep.
The only meal that everyone was required to attend was dinner. Eponine and I found this as a blessing, because the less time we had to spend with our fathers' crowd the better. We also woke up very late and missed breakfast.
It was only 11:00 so we ate some toast and tea. Then we went back up to our room and changed into jazz pants, a leotard, and jazz sneakers. We put on t-shirts over our leotards in case we saw anyone. I shoved my stereo in my dance bag and we left the room.
We spent about half an hour finding the kitchen. We made the house elves give us each a bottle of water that never emptied, and two big sandwiches for lunch. It was a pretty day so we decided to eat outside once we were hungry.
We found our spot and danced to "Fosse" for a while. Then we danced to "The Lion King." When we were covered in sweat we ate our lunch. This was good, because Blaise, Pansy, Mary, Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle found us when we began eating.
"What have you been doing?" Mary asked.
"Uh, running." I lied.
"Yeah, we do it everyday." Eponine said.
"No wonder you're so sweaty." Pansy said.
"It's great exercise." I said.
"Do you mind if we join you while you eat?" Blaise asked.
"Well we hate for people to see us sweaty and smelly, but it's your call."
They all sat down and we began talking about the whole marriage thing.
"I suppose father will arrange for us to get married. What do you think Blaisey dear?" Pansy asked.
"I suppose." Blaise said.
"He'll probably have Draco and me married as well." Mary said.
"I hope so darling." Draco said.
Draco didn't seem like he wanted to marry Mary. He was believable to Mary and the others, but being actresses Eponine and I saw right through him.
"What about you two? Who do you think you'll marry?" Pansy asked Eponine and me.
Eponine and I just looked at each other. We knew what we were supposed to say, but our answer wasn't quite what they expected.
A/N: So what did you think? Please review! PLEASE!!!!!! ^_^
