Chapter 2: Little Girl


The evening went smoothly. Lenora stayed over at Ron's house without any problems. She couldn't get over the size of the house. It was 3 stories high with three bedrooms on each floor. It was a lot for a bachelor, even if he was the Minister of Magic. She learned that it was shared with his younger sister, Virginia. She was also a part of the Order and asked Lenora many questions about why she wanted to be involved in taking down Voldermort. Again her response was the same, Lucius and Voldermort deserved it.


Returning home was more of an adventure. At first when she arrived, she decided to take the back entrance into the gray stoned mansion. She would take the west staircase up to her room and not encounter a soul. Her father, was most likely at the Ministry, her mother somewhere socializing. Of course, her observations of her parents whereabouts were correct. Her brother, on the other hand decided to stay and wait for Lenora to come home before he left for the day. She didn't realize he was home until she heard his cold voice drift down from a balcony above where she was standing.


"Where were you?" He said, his voice was demanding and forceful. He had spoken to her like that before in front of their father. He received a healthy kick in the shins for it. At this moment, Daddy wasn't there for her protection.


"I was out. Since when did you care where I was?" She was being questioned, and of all people, her brother. If she ever met the devil himself, she would trade him for her brother. He would be the reason she would be inquired or even killed by Voldermort. The Dark Lord knew of her knowledge of the Death Eaters and, was yet to actually trust her himself. The wrong message could cost her.


"Mother and Father were rather upset when you didn't turn up at dinner last night. I figured you ran off with some git so, they told me to wait for you before leaving."


"That's exactly what I did, ran off with some git. I'm quite the whore you know" Draco laughed a cruel laugh and then turned to go inside. Before he touched the doorknob, Lenora called up to him.


"Draco, if your 21, why are still living in your father's house? The git, I slept with last night at least had his own place." She said with a smile. He turned a bright shade a maroon and went inside.


Lenora made it up to her room with no interruptions. The family house elf was busy following Draco around, he was setting orders for what had to be done before his parents returned in the afternoon. Her room was just as she left it, beautifully kept, like a lady's room should be. She sat down at her vanity and studied her face. Her had long hair returned to it's natural color but, her eyes still seemed to be darker then usual. She closed them for a long time then opened them hoping they were back to normal. Only a slight change had occurred but enough for them to look a little normal. She was still a little tired and hadn't not taken a shower so she spent the most of her morning, grooming in the bathroom.

Hours had passed since she had first come home. Her whole appearance changed, she no longer looked tired but looked as herself and happier. She picked out the prettiest sun dress she had and threw it on for dinner. Her parents believed that young woman should always look presentable especially at the dinner table.


She was sitting in front of her mirror again when her father walked into her room. He was holding a beautiful white dress as he entered.


"My dear." He said. She turned around and smiled. Then lowered her head respectfully.


"Father."


"I want Draco to escort you to a ball tonight. It's for the Ministry and I might you would enjoy it. You'll be leaving in 2 hours." Although she didn't seem tired she was and a night of dancing and practicing her manners would completely drain the small amount of energy she had left.


"Father must I? I was out last night and I don't know if I'm up to it-"


Lucius raised his hand signaling silence and immediately, Lenora was quiet. She sighed heavily and turned back to her mirror. She started fixing her hair in some new way to wear her dress when she felt a tight grab around the back of her neck slowly the grasp reached her hair and pulled it back hard. Lucius pulled her face back toward his.

"I never asked you if you wanted to, I told you to get ready. Lenora, I don't know where you were last night but, believe me I will find out. You're a Malfoy, don't you ever trash that name. And remember you're place, you are still a little girl." And with that he threw her head forward and left the room.


Lenora straighten herself up and continued applying her make-up and doing her hair. Her owl flew up to her window carrying a letter.


Spider,

If attending this evening's ball please let me know. Is your father going?

MoM


Lenora grabbed another sheet of parchment a scribbled back quickly



I will be there. So will my father and brother.

Spider

And attached it to her owl. As soon as the owl left, she threw the other note into the fireplace and sighed.


"Surprise me, Weasley."
