After Lucius finished talking, he sat back with his arms behind his head and smirked in triumph.
"What are you smirking about?" Lilac's voice cut through his thoughts.
"I'm just thinking of the way the Mudblood could die at the hands of Potter and her friends." his smirk broadened.
Lilac rolled her eyes and snapped, "All of this still doesn't have anything to do with me!"
"What?" He frowned at her in confusion. Realization dawned on him. "Oh! Okay. The reason we are having this discussion is quite simple. All I request of you is that you enroll into Hogwarts, tell the Sorting Hat..."
"Sorting Hat?"
"The Sorting Hat, wizards' hat owned by the four founders. It sorts wizards and witches into the four houses: Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and .Gryffindor." The last word was spat. "Now, don't interrup-"
She interrupted again. "What's wrong with Gryffindor?"
He pursed his lips in a thin line and said between gritted teeth, "Gryffindor is the worst house in the school. Gryffindors are all goody-two- shoes and are teacher pets to the headmaster and the rest of the Hogwarts staff, well, besides Severus."
Lilac nodded and listened while he finished..tried to finish.
"Now, as I was saying, I want you to tell the Sorting Hat to put you in Gryffindor, then."
"You want me to what?! Ask the Sorting Hat to put me in Gryffindor?!" she huffed in outrage while crossing her arms and glaring at him.
"Didn't I just say that?" Lucius asked in mock-confusion.
Lilac was so mad, she didn't hear him. "You wait until my father hears about this!"
"I have already talked to him about this plan. He agreed after a bit, so that will do you no good. I want you in Gryffindor because Potter and his friend Weasley is in that house. Now be quiet or I will act out the threat I gave you a while ago."
She uncrossed her arms but continued to narrow her eyes.
"Get yourself put into Gryffindor. Make sure you are on Potter's good side and when Serpentisa is there, secretly befriend her and help her out."
'When Serpentisa is there.' His words echoed around Lilac's head. 'What does he mean? She can't be in her original form, she'll get caught! People knows what she looks like! Oh, but Lucius said that she is going to take the form of that Muggle."
Outloud she asked, "How would I be able to help her out?"
"Since Serpentisa isn't used to being 'good', someone has to help her so she doesn't blow her cover."
Lilac gasped. "Is THIS why you want me to be part of this plan?! Because you think I'm good?! Now, you see here Mr. Ma..."
He waved his hand dismissively. "Stop assuming things Ms. Parkinson. You are going to get trained to act like a Gryffindor."
"Trained?! You are going to have my first summer after school back home wasted just because of some stupid training?"
"Your training isn't going to take that long, a week at most or two at most. You just need to have a better attitude and better manners before you take one step into that school. Then you will be able to help out Ms. Riddle."
Lilac fumed for a moment then stood up quickly.
"Simple? Simple?! You think going into a school and making friends with enemies, pretending to be a goody-two-shoes and helping out with one of the most powerful dark witches in the wizarding world is simple?!" she exclaimed almost going into hysteria.
"Actually, yes I do." Lucius stated calmly.
After gaping at him with her mouth open for almost five minutes, she dropped her head in her hands in slight anguish.
Lucius left her with her thoughts and looked upstairs and called, "Draco? Are you done getting ready? Tom, where are you?"
A voice from behind him answered, "I am right here."
"What took you so long?"
Tom's face was red and he looked quite angry.
"As soon as I told them why I wanted such a big dinner, the house-elves shouted out things they should make at the same time. I told them I would let the Dark Lord eat them for dinner if they didn't calm down...it obviously worked."
"Voldie isn't staying for dinner, is he?" Lilac asked without thinking.
Her father advanced towards her slowly. "What did you-"
She was saved by the opening and closing of a door from upstairs. Coming down the stairs was a blushing Pansy and following her was a traumatized Draco. Lilac burst out laughing at his hair, which was currently standing on end.
"So, did you find the gel?" Lilac asked him innocently.
Draco scowled at her but looked at Pansy like she was going to attack him any second.
Lucius walked quietly behind Draco and whispered, "What's wrong Draco? Is anything the matter?"
He had a faraway look on his face and he suddenly shivered, as if he just recalled a scary memory.
Lucius tried very hard not to laugh at his son.
Draco snapped out of it when Lilac said sarcastically, "It doesn't matter how you have your hair Draco, you would look good no matter what!"
He missed the sarcasm and said pompously, "You are right for once Parkinson, I WOULD look good no matter what, wouldn't I?"
Lilac ignored him and walked over next to her sister. Whispering, she asked, "Pansy, what did you do to him?!
Pansy turned to her, winked and started giggling. Lilac stared at her in amusement, but if you looked closely, you could also detect a bit of jealousy.
Draco was standing near them and heard Pansy's gobble...I mean.giggle! He crossed his arms and listened to them.
"Well, what happened?" Lilac asked persistently.
"Well, it is something that will be in his memory for a long time." She replied smugly.
Apparently Pansy missed Draco mutter 'Unfortunately,' but Lilac heard it and laughed again.
A pop was heard from the entrance of the Parkinson Mansion and everybody became silent.
Lucius looked at Draco's hair and quickly fixed it the way it was before with a simple spell.
Draco complained that somebody else touched his hair besides himself. Tom, Pansy, Lucius and Lilac all turned to him and yelled, "Not now Draco!!"
He looked at them in shock, but his shock turned to slight horror when he looked over their shoulders.
