Previously in Chapter 7:
Draco Malfoy was most certainly not caring, considerate, or loving. What had she done? She was finally getting somewhere with Draco and now she had turned him into the bastard Malfoy he was in Hogwarts.
Not to mention her shock to learn that the blond bitch, that she had preformed a hair removing spell on, was Mr. Draco Malfoy's fiancée.
Opening the Door, To Your Heart
Chapter 8: With My Will
Things were not supposed to turn out this way. But the imagination paints the best possible picture right? Virginia quietly came home that night…but her thoughts were jumbled and in an indescribable state of torment. Fiancée? It ran though her head like a broken record player. How? When? Unanswered questions to her thoughts.
~ next day ~
Thank god it was the weekend! Lord, how Virginia needed it. With all the commotion during the week she was finally looking forward to a quite weekend…
"Mummy…Cecilia is bored," the cute blonde told her mother who was leaning against the wall in their apartment. 'So much for the quite part…' Virginia thought. Just as she was going to answer her daughter the phone rang, thankful slightly for the interruption Virginia picked up the phone,
"Hello?"
"Hello Virginia."
'Oh~my~god! How did he get my number?!' Virginia's thoughts ran wild at the sound of his voice as she found the will to speak,
"How have you been?" Virginia said as she tried to get the lump out of her throat.
"Great, great. You?"
"Oh peachy, where'd you get this number anyway?" Virgina questioned.
"Oh Hoshiko gave it to me."
'Damn it Hoshi you better run, 'cuz when I'm through with you, you are going to doubt our friendship,' Virginia mentally berated her best friend, "Oh…"
"So anyway I called to ask if you're free tonight."
"Me? Free…?" Virginia suddenly remembered that this might be an opportunity to get out in the world again; she really needed to get going. It was just a pity that it had to start with him. 'Oh well,' she thought, 'beggars can't
be choosers.' With another quick thought she answered him, "Yes I am free."
"Oh that's great, do you want to go with me to Quelque Fois? It's a French restaurant."
"That sounds great."
"Good, I'll pick you up at 7:30. Bye Virginia."
"Bye Chase."
After she hung up she was confused at what she felt, relief or extreme confusion. What prompted her to think she needed to get back out again? Her thoughts were this time interrupted by the doorbell, "Coming!" She walked over and opened the door, and who stood there? Hoshi.
"Hey Hoshi," Virginia answered neutrally as she let her best friend into her apartment, closing the door behind her. She led Hoshi to the kitchen where she started to make coffee for herself and ice tea for Hoshi. "Hey V, so how was your evening? I noticed you were late coming back, what
happened?"
Temporarily forgetting the whole 'phone call incident' just minutes ago she told her friend what she had found out yesterday, "Damn Hoshi you won't believe this, but Draco is ENGAGED." Humorously watching Hoshi's face change from shock to confusion she handed Hoshi her ice tea. After about seven point five seconds, she immediately asked,
"Engaged huh, who's the lucky girl?" Hoshi asked.
Deciding to hold out a bit Virginia responded, "You take a shot. Who was the one I was complaining about after my first day?"
Realization dawned on Hoshi's face as she put two and two together and her face twisted in disgust, "Her!? That damn blond bitch?"
Musing at the physic bond between them as Hoshi said 'blond bitch' Virginia slowly nodded, "Yeah."
"How'd you find out?" Hoshi's question started a quick flashback of what happened the night before,
'Maybe Hoshi can help me figure out why his attitude changed with out even a blink.' Ginny thought.
"That's the part I don't get Hoshi. I wanted to talk to him about Cecilia. So I told him that he should act all nice and caring around her and not like his normal 'not bothered' self. After that I saw him change his attitude so fast and he immediately lashed out at me, and told me not to call Anastasia 'blond bitch' anymore because she's his fiancée. Then he just left," After Virginia finished she looked carefully to see Hoshi's reaction.
"Oh~my~god! Damn Virginia! You really don't know why he changed his attitude?!" Hoshi softly yelled at her friend, shocked at her naivety.
"No…" Virginia softly trailed off hoping that Hoshi would explain to her.
Hoshi smiled softly and approached Virginia putting her hands on both of Virginia's shoulders, "He was angry. You called him cold hearted straight to his face."
"Is that all? I've done that so many times when we were in school; he didn't care then, why would he now?" Virginia was utterly confused at the turn of tables.
"Well he obviously cared this time, which tells you that he probably is not the 'cold-hearted' self you labeled him as last night. He was angry at being called that when he was clearly a changed man," Hoshi had spelt it out in clear words and Virginia began to realize the weight of her words the previous night.
"Oh god. I have to apologize don't I?" Virginia was horrified at the thought. She had never apologized to Malfoy in all their conversations.
"Yes. Yes, you do," Hoshi shook her head up and down as she sat down at a stool at the breakfast bar in the kitchen. Virginia thought it was as good of a time as any to ask about the whole 'phone incident.'
"Hey Hoshi. You won't guess who I was on the phone with before you came in," When Virginia said this, Hoshi actually looked somewhat curious, "Who?"
"Oh just Chase," After this, Virginia sort of glared at Hoshi as she nervously cleaned up the ice tea that had squirted out of her mouth at the mention of Chase, "Heheh. Chase huh? Wh-wha-what did he want?"
"Oh just to ask me out. That wasn't the real shock though. I was more shocked as to how he got my number, could you imagine my shock when he said you gave it to him?" Now Hoshi ran, grabbed her wand out of her jacket pocket as she faced, an already armed, Virginia.
"Now V, please don't be melodramatic," Hoshi and Virginia circled around each other only to be interrupted by the phone. They both looked at the phone suspiciously as it rang. With one hand still pointing her wand at Hoshi, Virginia picked up the phone,
"Hello?"
"Hey Virginia. Sorry to call again but do you think we could double? You can bring your friend Hoshiko and I'll bring my friend Kyou," Chase's voice could be heard on the other line.
" Um sure…I'll tell Hoshi. Bye Chase," Virginia hung up again and thought about Kyou, 'Nah, no way it could be Kyou from the other night.'
Facing Hoshi again she spoke hauntingly, "Guess what I just did?"
Hoshi looked apprehensive as she slowly spoke, "What?"
Virginia broke out in a small smirk, "You're doubling with me. Chase is bringing a friend."
"Nooooo! Damn you V…who's the guy?" It was beyond understandable how Hoshi's attitude could change and Virginia actually breaking out into a smile responded, "Chase's friend, Kyou."
Hoshi had a small goofy grin on before she swapped it for a 'serious' look, "WELL you happen to be very lucky that I am free tonight. We only have one problem…Cecilia." Now Cecilia, who had been claiming she was bored, had left the room when the phone rang the first time.
Virginia registered her thoughtless plans concerning her daughter, "Shoot. Hoshi you're coming with me tonight, but you're my babysitter. Who would be able to baby-sit? Scratch that, who is Cecilia going to be comfortable with? She only likes certain people." Virginia silently continued her sentence, 'like her father.'
"Well there is one person you could ask, and you would be killing two birds with one stone if you apologize at the same time," Hoshi knew just what would get Virginia flustered as she figured out the 'certain someone' she was referring to.
"No way Hoshi. Why would he want to do it!?"
"Hey you don't know that he can't!" After yelling this, Hoshi grabbed the phone and started calling him; how she knew the number, Virginia wasn't
ready to know.
"Hoshi, NO!!" Virginia and Hoshi wrestled for control of the phone as Virginia's fingers kept reaching for the END button. It rang precisely three times before a rough voice picked up, "Hullo?"
Virginia froze as she finally got the phone and heard his voice. She panicked and just stood there dumbly. It wasn't until she almost clicked END that she heard him speak again, "Damn it Weasley I know it's you."
"What?! How!?"
"Caller-id Weasely, honestly I would have thought that a muggle-lover would know this. Me, I hate these stupid inventions. Now, why the hell-"
"Can you take care of Cecilia tonight?" Cutting to the bush, Virginia was shocked at her forwardness.
"What? Why would I want to do that?!"
"Gee Malfoy, I don't know…maybe because YOU WANT TO SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR DAUGHTER?!" Virginia's temper just burst and she lashed out at him, which really was the last thing she wanted to do.
"What?! I don't want to do that tonight!"
"TOUGH MALFOY! I'm bringing Cecilia over tonight 6:45," Virginia cut the phone off and stared at Hoshi, who was glaring at her; telling her silently that she shouldn't have been so brash.
"I don't want to hear it Hoshi," Virginia walked out of the room and went to her daughter's room, and spent the afternoon with her; mostly at the park.
~~6:40pm~~
"Cecilia! Honey, let's go!" Virginia ushered her daughter out of the apartment. As she entered the lobby of the hotel that Draco was staying at, she smiled at the same gentleman that had smiled at her when she came in with Draco. She didn't see his confusion at the little bundle of joy that was tagging along.
She knocked twice on Draco's room and waited for an answer. She jumped slightly when Draco opened the door quickly, almost knocking the wind out of her. His face was clearly irritated but he silently ushered them in and closed the door promptly behind her.
"Hi daddy!" Cecilia went forward, daring what none other could, to hug Draco Malfoy. Amazingly Draco showed no hesitation as he brought his daughter up to his chest, and holding her with one arm under her butt he brought her to another room. This room was covered in toys and Cecilia squealed with joy and almost jumped out of her father's arms going to play with the toys.
He left the room and went to talk to Virginia, who was nervously still standing near the door. She hadn't gotten dressed yet, hell knows what Draco would do when he found out that Virginia was going out for a date; and needed him to baby-sit because of that.
"I don't bite you know?" Draco said as he went to sit on a couch and slowly Virginia followed suit.
"I have something to say. I-I'm sorry," Virginia faltered slightly before remembering her resolve to apologize and, in simple words, 'get the hell out of there.' Things were never that easy, she knew she had to explain why she was sorry. Sure enough that was what Draco said next, "Sorry? Well this is surely in the records for the first time; a Weasely apologized to a Malfoy, and I sure want to know why it's in the records. What are you sorry for?"
"For the other night," As soon as she had said this Draco looked coldly at her and with great strength she continued, "I shouldn't have demanded you to be nice to Cecilia. If you are the man I think you are right now, you probably would have been nice anyway. So I'm sorry."
"And what type of man am I, Virginia?" Draco had said that but Virginia knew that when he called her by her given name that she had done her good. Rising to stand, she walked towards the door, "You are a father for the first time. Now, I have to be going now. Good-bye Draco."
She actually managed to get out the door and let the wind past her locks as she sped towards her apartment; hell bent on having herself a good time tonight. Knocking on Hoshi's apartment, Virginia grabbed Hoshi and brought her to her apartment. For the next half an hour or so they got ready.
At 7:30 a swift knock was heard on Virginia's door. Hoshi exchanged glances with Virginia as they both went to the door. Virginia let the door open and simply stood rather stunned. Indeed, the Kyou from the party was the same Kyou that was in front of her. He seemed to notice her also and he spoke evenly, "Good evening Virginia, Hoshiko. Nice to see you again Virginia."
"You two know each other?" Chase was actually surprised at the two.
"Yeah, met at a party. Well let's get going…come on Chase," Virginia hooked her arm around his and steered him towards the elevator, only briefly glancing back to see Kyou kiss Hoshi on her hand before offering his arm.
'Always the charmer,' Virginia thought as she stood beside Chase.
~~Quelque Fois~~
The four of them sat around a circle table. The waiter approached them and asked, "Vous avez choisi?" [Have you decided/chosen?]
French was actually only known by Virginia and expertly she said, "Oui, je voudrais quatre l'eau minérales, s'il vous plait." [Yes, I would like four waters, please] The waiter promptly replied, "Un moment, s'il vous plait." [One moment, please]
With this quick exchange of words, Virginia told her table that she had ordered waters for everyone. They nodded appreciatively and the night was off. The night went by at a normal speed, which met the date wasn't boring, but it wasn't exciting either.
Come nine, all of them had the traditional seven course French meal. The waiter came to gather the plates from their dessert and asked, "Comment tu troves ca?" [How do you like it?]
"C'est bon. Merci monsieur," [It's good. Thank you sir] Virginia smiled at the waiter and told Hoshi what to say also, but unfortunately Hoshi was already way ahead of herself, "C'est dégoûtant." [It's gross]
Virginia looked shocked and immediately corrected the waiter's thoughts, "Désole monsieur. Mon amie ne parle pas français. Elle est stupide quelque fois." [Sorry, sir. My friend does not speak French. She is stupid sometimes] Now Hoshi didn't understand French but she was sure that 'stupide' was the same as stupid. She glared at Virginia who glared right back.
Before the waiter left, Virginia requested the check, "Excusez-moi, l'addition s'il vous plait." [Excuse me, check please]
"Oui, tout suite," [Yes, right away] Despite being miffed slightly about the insult on the food, the waiter brought the check to them and they walked out into the cool evening.
After being left at her apartment, Virginia went inside and changed out of her outfit, which was a black skirt and navy blue sleeveless top, and into the one she was wearing earlier, low rise blue jeans, and a loose black shirt.
Locking her apartment behind her, Virginia walked towards Draco's hotel. Going up the elevator and walking on to Draco's floor she had a weird feel of dread. Knocking softly on the door she was wondering if she could even be heard. She glanced at Draco as he opened the door. Only one thing registered…nice chest.
Draco was wearing a pair of black slacks and no shirt; his six pack was all too visible. He opened the door wider to let her in, and she mutely acknowledged the sleeping Cecilia on one of the three couches. She smiled at the sight of her daughter and softly stroked her hair before turning to Draco, "Hope she wasn't too overwhelming."
"No, she was actually very good, reminded me of myself when I was a kid," Draco said also remembering his own rough childhood, 'Ok, maybe not exactly like me.'
"Really? Well, I'm glad. She really needed a fatherly figure in her life," Virginia sat down next to Draco, careful to keep the standard distance. He seemed to relax and lean back closing his eyes, "I'm sure you don't want to wake Cecilia. So it would be wise to just stay the night."
Virginia's thoughts ran at the offer and realizing the truth behind the sentence she hung her head and silently mumbled, "Yeah, I guess so." Draco raised his eyebrow at the sudden agreement and got up and told Virginia to follow him. She shadowed behind him and followed him to the same room she had dumped him when he was drunk. She raised an eyebrow at him and catching her questioning look Draco stated,
"Only one bed, we're sharing." How that one sentence had oh so many things wrong with it. Virginia immediately protested, "No, that's ok, I'll sleep on the couch." Draco grumbled and grasped Virginia's wrist and yanked her towards him, and she landed softly on the bed. "Very well Weasely, hold on," leaving the room abruptly he returned with his wand.
Muttering a spell, or at least he had pretended to mutter a spell, he walked towards the bed and sat down, making the bed go up and down; spurring Virginia back to reality as she rose to leave, "It's fine; I'm going to go with Cecilia. Thanks for babysitting Draco."
Leaving the room when a Malfoy was in it was not easy; too bad she didn't know that. Draco rose and grasped her wrist as she reached for the door, "Now, now. I blew off a dinner with Anastasia. Least you could do is tell me where you went?"
At the mention of Draco's fiancée, Draco could have sworn that he felt Virginia shudder.
"Why?" Draco had to lean in to hear the rest of her sentence, "Why didn't you tell me?" He was a smart lad; he figured out that she was talking about the engagement, "What? Why would I?"
Virginia did shudder visibly this time and she quietly spoke, "Yeah why would you?" Yanking her wrist back she tried to get to the door, but to be stopped by Draco's body as he positioned himself in front of the door. "Move Draco"
"No"
"Why? Why the hell won't you just move?!" Virginia actually began lightly punching Draco and he let it go for a while before stopping her movements by grasping both her wrists and shoving her against the wall. Outraged by the restraining of her wrists she lashed out, "Let go Malfoy, you are an engaged man, what the hell are you pulling?!"
"I am not engaged by my wish damn it. It's my father's doing," Draco said surprisingly softly.
"Whatever Malfoy. That is none of my concern now please-"
Brain functions ceased as she felt the spark at her lips as his made contact with hers. She didn't respond but after he started begging for entrance, she could not resist Draco Malfoy any more. She opened her mouth allowing him entrance. Their tongues mingled as they began a struggle for dominance.
Draco's hands released her wrists as he brought his arms around her waist, bringing her closer to him; intensifying the kiss. Her hands draped around his neck and slowly started going through his silky hair. One of Draco's arms released her, and slowly went to her shirt, edging up underneath the fabric. He felt her intake of breath as his hand brushed her stomach and started going higher. Reaching where her bra was supposed to be he was surprised to find nothing.
She had removed her bra when she changed outfits, never thinking the impact of its absence. With this knowledge, Draco went to cup her breast and brush his finger against her nipple. Her intake of breath was even greater as she broke off the kiss for air; her hands roaming around his back freely as he planted butterfly kisses on her neck.
Anything that was going to happen was interrupted with a small voice, "Daddy? Mummy?" Draco's hands flew away from Virginia as she straightened her shirt which had ridden quite far up. Luckily since Cecilia had just woken up she couldn't see in the dark well and the light was blinding, so she hadn't seen the exchange between her parents.
"Wh-what is it honey?" Virginia approached her daughter who was rubbing her eyes, irritatingly. "Cecilia can't sleep. Can I sleep with you and daddy?" Never being one to refuse her daughter, Virginia complied and said, "Okay honey, come here." She lifted Cecilia up and brought her to the bed and lay her down in the middle. She turned to Draco and with a blush painted across her face she said neutrally, "Come on…Malfoy."
Whether she was calling him Malfoy because she was angry with her self for giving in; or because she was angry at him for teasing her, she was angry as she slowly watched Draco get into bed on the opposite side. Sighing in compliance she got in on the other side of Cecilia and she drifted off to sleep.
Some time in the night Draco's arm had draped across both Cecilia and Virginia, bringing them closer to him. Those who looked saw a family.

She actually managed to get out the door and let the wind past her locks as she sped towards her apartment; hell bent on having herself a good time tonight. Knocking on Hoshi's apartment, Virginia grabbed Hoshi and brought her to her apartment. For the next half an hour or so they got ready.
At 7:30 a swift knock was heard on Virginia's door. Hoshi exchanged glances with Virginia as they both went to the door. Virginia let the door open and simply stood rather stunned. Indeed, the Kyou from the party was the same Kyou that was in front of her. He seemed to notice her also and he spoke evenly, "Good evening Virginia, Hoshiko. Nice to see you again Virginia."
"You two know each other?" Chase was actually surprised at the two.
"Yeah, met at a party. Well let's get going…come on Chase," Virginia hooked her arm around his and steered him towards the elevator, only briefly glancing back to see Kyou kiss Hoshi on her hand before offering his arm.
'Always the charmer,' Virginia thought as she stood beside Chase.
~~Quelque Fois~~
The four of them sat around a circle table. The waiter approached them and asked, "Vous avez choisi?" [Have you decided/chosen?]
French was actually only known by Virginia and expertly she said, "Oui, je voudrais quatre l'eau minérales, s'il vous plait." [Yes, I would like four waters, please] The waiter promptly replied, "Un moment, s'il vous plait." [One moment, please]
With this quick exchange of words, Virginia told her table that she had ordered waters for everyone. They nodded appreciatively and the night was off. The night went by at a normal speed, which met the date wasn't boring, but it wasn't exciting either.
Come nine, all of them had the traditional seven course French meal. The waiter came to gather the plates from their dessert and asked, "Comment tu troves ca?" [How do you like it?]
"C'est bon. Merci monsieur," [It's good. Thank you sir] Virginia smiled at the waiter and told Hoshi what to say also, but unfortunately Hoshi was already way ahead of herself, "C'est dégoûtant." [It's gross]
Virginia looked shocked and immediately corrected the waiter's thoughts, "Désole monsieur. Mon amie ne parle pas français. Elle est stupide quelque fois." [Sorry, sir. My friend does not speak French. She is stupid sometimes] Now Hoshi didn't understand French but she was sure that 'stupide' was the same as stupid. She glared at Virginia who glared right back.
Before the waiter left, Virginia requested the check, "Excusez-moi, l'addition s'il vous plait." [Excuse me, check please]
"Oui, tout suite," [Yes, right away] Despite being miffed slightly about the insult on the food, the waiter brought the check to them and they walked out into the cool evening.
After being left at her apartment, Virginia went inside and changed out of her outfit, which was a black skirt and navy blue sleeveless top, and into the one she was wearing earlier, low rise blue jeans, and a loose black shirt.
Locking her apartment behind her, Virginia walked towards Draco's hotel. Going up the elevator and walking on to Draco's floor she had a weird feel of dread. Knocking softly on the door she was wondering if she could even be heard. She glanced at Draco as he opened the door. Only one thing registered…nice chest.
Draco was wearing a pair of black slacks and no shirt; his six pack was all too visible. He opened the door wider to let her in, and she mutely acknowledged the sleeping Cecilia on one of the three couches. She smiled at the sight of her daughter and softly stroked her hair before turning to Draco, "Hope she wasn't too overwhelming."
"No, she was actually very good, reminded me of myself when I was a kid," Draco said also remembering his own rough childhood, 'Ok, maybe not exactly like me.'
"Really? Well, I'm glad. She really needed a fatherly figure in her life," Virginia sat down next to Draco, careful to keep the standard distance. He seemed to relax and lean back closing his eyes, "I'm sure you don't want to wake Cecilia. So it would be wise to just stay the night."
Virginia's thoughts ran at the offer and realizing the truth behind the sentence she hung her head and silently mumbled, "Yeah, I guess so." Draco raised his eyebrow at the sudden agreement and got up and told Virginia to follow him. She shadowed behind him and followed him to the same room she had dumped him when he was drunk. She raised an eyebrow at him and catching her questioning look Draco stated,
"Only one bed, we're sharing." How that one sentence had oh so many things wrong with it. Virginia immediately protested, "No, that's ok, I'll sleep on the couch." Draco grumbled and grasped Virginia's wrist and yanked her towards him, and she landed softly on the bed. "Very well Weasely, hold on," leaving the room abruptly he returned with his wand.
Muttering a spell, or at least he had pretended to mutter a spell, he walked towards the bed and sat down, making the bed go up and down; spurring Virginia back to reality as she rose to leave, "It's fine; I'm going to go with Cecilia. Thanks for babysitting Draco."
Leaving the room when a Malfoy was in it was not easy; too bad she didn't know that. Draco rose and grasped her wrist as she reached for the door, "Now, now. I blew off a dinner with Anastasia. Least you could do is tell me where you went?"
At the mention of Draco's fiancée, Draco could have sworn that he felt Virginia shudder.
"Why?" Draco had to lean in to hear the rest of her sentence, "Why didn't you tell me?" He was a smart lad; he figured out that she was talking about the engagement, "What? Why would I?"
Virginia did shudder visibly this time and she quietly spoke, "Yeah why would you?" Yanking her wrist back she tried to get to the door, but to be stopped by Draco's body as he positioned himself in front of the door. "Move Draco"
"No"
"Why? Why the hell won't you just move?!" Virginia actually began lightly punching Draco and he let it go for a while before stopping her movements by grasping both her wrists and shoving her against the wall. Outraged by the restraining of her wrists she lashed out, "Let go Malfoy, you are an engaged man, what the hell are you pulling?!"
"I am not engaged by my wish damn it. It's my father's doing," Draco said surprisingly softly.
"Whatever Malfoy. That is none of my concern now please-"
Brain functions ceased as she felt the spark at her lips as his made contact with hers. She didn't respond but after he started begging for entrance, she could not resist Draco Malfoy any more. She opened her mouth allowing him entrance. Their tongues mingled as they began a struggle for dominance.
Draco's hands released her wrists as he brought his arms around her waist, bringing her closer to him; intensifying the kiss. Her hands draped around his neck and slowly started going through his silky hair. One of Draco's arms released her, and slowly went to her shirt, edging up underneath the fabric. He felt her intake of breath as his hand brushed her stomach and started going higher. Reaching where her bra was supposed to be he was surprised to find nothing.
She had removed her bra when she changed outfits, never thinking the impact of its absence. With this knowledge, Draco went to cup her breast and brush his finger against her nipple. Her intake of breath was even greater as she broke off the kiss for air; her hands roaming around his back freely as he planted butterfly kisses on her neck.
Anything that was going to happen was interrupted with a small voice, "Daddy? Mummy?" Draco's hands flew away from Virginia as she straightened her shirt which had ridden quite far up. Luckily since Cecilia had just woken up she couldn't see in the dark well and the light was blinding, so she hadn't seen the exchange between her parents.
"Wh-what is it honey?" Virginia approached her daughter who was rubbing her eyes, irritatingly. "Cecilia can't sleep. Can I sleep with you and daddy?" Never being one to refuse her daughter, Virginia complied and said, "Okay honey, come here." She lifted Cecilia up and brought her to the bed and lay her down in the middle. She turned to Draco and with a blush painted across her face she said neutrally, "Come on…Malfoy."
Whether she was calling him Malfoy because she was angry with her self for giving in; or because she was angry at him for teasing her, she was angry as she slowly watched Draco get into bed on the opposite side. Sighing in compliance she got in on the other side of Cecilia and she drifted off to sleep.
Some time in the night Draco's arm had draped across both Cecilia and Virginia, bringing them closer to him. Those who looked saw a family.
