Chapter 6

Lucius lifted the gold knocker of the Parkinson's heavy door then let it go. Lucius and Draco waited a minute until Lucius knocked once more. Impatient, Draco all but threw himself on the door.

"Now Draco, be patient! I've already knocked twice."

After about five more minutes, Draco started forward, but was stopped by Lucius' snake cane. "Draco!" he said warningly with a hint of exasperation.

"Don't worry father! I'm only going to knock a couple more times!"

After that was said, Draco turned to the door, and started pummeling it. "Open the bloody door!?" he yelled, his arms flailing around.

Suddenly, an amused laugh stopped his 'tantrum.' Breathing hard and very irritated, he turned around. He lost all train of thought when he saw a girl with dark brown hair that went to the middle of her back. She had thoughtful blue eyes and a smile was on her face.

"Who are you? You look ridiculous!" she giggled.

Draco felt embarrassed but he kept his composure. He was a Malfoy after all! "I," he began proudly "am Draco Malfoy!"

The girl snorted, "Oh, yes? Do all Malfoy's act like idiots or is this just a one time thing?" So far, Draco did NOT like this arrogant girl.

Lucius looked furious. He advanced towards her. "Nobody talks to a Malfoy like that! You apologize to him at once, and Draco? Apologize to me, too."

Draco glared, "Why?"

Lucius looked down at his son, "Because unfortunately... you DID look ridiculous."

Draco scowled and stepped in front of the girl, then folded his arms. "Who are you?"

The girl opened her mouth to answer him, but before she could, a shrill and annoying voice beat her to it.

"Lilac! How did you get up here so fast?"

'Lilac?' Draco thought in amazement.

The girl in front of him sighed and said, "As you can tell, I am Lilac Parkinson."

"Lilac?! Why are you ignoring me?" The whiney voice belonged to none other than Pansy Parkinson. As soon as she saw him, her eyes widened and she grinned happily. "Draaacoo!!" She ran up to him and threw her arms around his neck.

Draco whimpered slightly as Lilac started laughing uncontrollably. "Pansy! Come on now! Get off me!" He looked up at his father pleadingly.

Lucius chuckled then eased Pansy off of his son with a bit of force. She was stronger than she looked!! Draco breathed a sigh of relief then looked at his father gratefully.

Lucius shook his head and ignored him. He turned to Pansy. "Ms. Parkinson, where is your father? Is he with you?"

Pansy nodded and pointed behind her distractedly. She was still staring dreamily at Draco. (Who wouldn't?!)

Draco was staring at Lilac with irritation but interest at the same time. She still had laughter shining in her eyes. He narrowed his eyes at her and whispered. "Not funny."

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

They were interrupted by someone clearing their throat. Both of the looked up to see two cold dark blue eyes. "Lilac?" he whispered coldly. "What are you doing talking to Draco? Come over here, NOW! Let Pansy talk to him!"

Lilac glanced up at Draco sadly and walked over to stand by her father's side. Tom smacked her on the back of the head. "Fool!" Lilac flinched and looked down. Draco glared at him and tried to step forward, but yet again, Lucius's cane was on his arm, stopping him from going any further.

"Draco, go talk to your girlfriend!" He said mockingly, pushing him towards Pansy.

"She is NOT my girlfriend." Draco muttered. Lucius ignored that comment and stared at Tom. Tom clapped his hands, "Draco, Lucius, Pansy and Lilac followed Tom inside the manor.

Draco looked over at Lilac fast enough to see a tear fall from her cheek. "Lilac?" he whispered. Lilac sneered at him, "What do you want, Malfoy?!"

Draco almost stepped back from shock, and then he also sneered at her. "Fine! I'm not usually nice to people, I don't know why it's any different for you!"

"Ya, and you usually don't say anything smart, but I'm not complaining, am I?" she muttered. He scowled at her then walked closer to Pansy, muttering about 'moody girls.'

As soon as Draco walked away, Lilac's face softened and she looked down, letting a few more tears escape her usually happy eyes.
