Chapter 16
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me
Tegan fussed with her dress robe trying to make a wrinkle go away while looking in the mirror. She was nervous about having dinner with Draco's father tonight. She knew that Draco and Narcissa would be there but still she felt nervous. Lucius would be focused on her and he would be serious. If she said or did anything wrong it would be a fault in his eyes. She jumped when Draco's arms wrapped around her waist and Draco looked at her concerned.
" You're not worried about tonight are you?" Draco asked as he kissed her shoulder lightly.
" Of course not. You just scared me" Tegan said trying to sound as convincing as she could. She was never good as lying especially to Draco.
" Tegan, don't be worried. I'll be there with you" Draco said as Tegan sighed.
" I just feel like something's going to happen. If anything does then there will be pressure on you" Tegan said but Draco put a finger to her lips.
" Just be positive hun" Draco said as he pulled back from her and turned her around.
" You look beautiful" Draco said looking her up and down as Tegan blushed.
" We should get going to dinner" Tegan said as Draco only nodded.
" Yeah, don't want to make dad think any less of us together" Draco said as he took Tegan's hand in his and they walked out of his bedroom.
" See even you're worried" Tegan said as Draco closed the door and shook his head.
" I'm not worried it's just...nothing" Draco said as he continued walking with her.
" Don't start hiding things from me now Draco, tell me" Tegan said as Draco looked at her.
" Don't worry about it. It's nothing" Draco said as they walked into the dining room where Lucius and Narcissa were already sitting.
" Father this is Tegan, my fiancé" Draco said as Lucius didn't even acknowledge Tegan was in the room. Draco led her over to a chair and pulled it out for her. Tegan smiled at him as she sat down and he pushed her in. Draco sat down next to her and Lucius stared at Tegan from across the table.
" So, Tegan, you're a Weasley right?" Lucius asked as he waved his hand for more wine. Tegan rolled her eyes, she should have known the whole conversation would be about her being a Weasley.
" Yes, I'm a Weasley" Tegan said as a house elf poured her some water.
" Really? What are your parents names?" Lucius asked as Draco looked at Tegan and she smiled.
" Samuel and Elisabeth Weasley" Tegan said as bowls of soup suddenly appeared in front of them.
" Is your father the Samuel Weasley, that was highly known at the ministry?" Lucius asked as Tegan nodded.
" Yes, that's him" Tegan said as they began eating there soup.
" So, Tegan why didnt you visit your mother this holiday?" Lucius asked as Tegan felt Draco's hand squeeze hers.
" I didn't think my mother would appreciated my presence as much as you do" Tegan said sarcastically and Lucius face reddened a little. He took a deep breath and his face returned back to the pale color it always was.
" I see you have a sarcastic one here Draco" Lucius said turning his gaze on Draco and Tegan sighed with relief. She could finally breath for a second.
" Problem with that father?" Draco asked raising his eyebrow and he smirked.
" No. I'm sarcastic myself son. Tegan, exactly how long are you planning to stay here? Your weasley name is contaminating everything I own" Lucius said trying to sound sarcastic but Tegan knew he meant it. Draco stood up quickly and Tegan saw anger flash in his eyes.
" Why do you have to be so difficult Father? I want you to show some respect to my fiancé!" Draco yelled a little louder then he expected and Lucius stood up.
" Respect to a Weasley, Draco? You never expected me to get that low now did you?" Lucius said and Draco glared at him.
" You're going to hate Tegan because of her last name? That's a little childish don't you think dad?" Draco asked.
" Her last names only part of it. That day when I saw you two together in Hogsmeade, I knew this girl was no good" Lucius said and Tegan looked at him shocked.
" You were watching us?" Draco asked but Lucius ignored his comment and turned his attention back to Tegan.
" See what you did, you Weasley, you contaminated my home. You brainwashed my son and now your wrecking my family!" Lucius yelled as Tegan felt tears come to her eyes. Draco took Tegan's hand as he helped her up and he hugged her.
" You're a liar! You're the one who brainwashed me Father with all of your death eater shit! I hope you rot in hell with Voldermort!" Draco yelled.
" You take that back Draco. You know it's not true, see this girl is brainwashing you" Lucius said as Draco glared at him and Tegan and him were about to walk out of the dining room.
" If you don't call off the wedding to that little witch right this instant Draco, I'll disown you. You two will have no money to live off of then! How do you expect to make a life without money?" Lucius asked as Draco stopped in his tracks and turned around looking his father dead in his eyes.
" Take your precious money and shove it" Draco said as he took Tegan in his arms and they walked out of Malfoy Manor together. They were both quiet until they boarded the train back to Hogwarts. Tegan looked over at Draco who was sitting next to her looking up at the train ceiling.
" I'm sorry about what happened Draco. I never wanted you to choose between your family and I" Tegan said but Draco kept his gaze on the ceiling.
" I don't want to talk about it right now ok?" Draco said as Tegan nodded and looked out the window. He was putting a wall up when he needed her the most.
