Chapter 2: Home for the holidays and interesting news
'Home! Thank Merlin!' Draco muttered, trying to levitate 8 trunks up the stairs. 'Why is-
'Draco! Oh Draco, my baby! You're all grown up!' A beautiful blonde-haired woman gushed.
Draco turned around plastering a fake smile on aristocratic face. 'Mother. What a pleasant surprise.'
His mother, not detecting the formality in his tone, threw her arms around Draco, and squeezed him tightly. 'I missed you so much! Look at you! You're so handsome now! And you're even taller than me! I bet you have all the girls chasing you! Right, Draco?'
'I doubt the boy could even get the Weasley girl to like him, let alone another girl, Narcissa.' A man's voice interrupted coldly.
How ironic. Draco thought. The Weasley girl is the one girl who doesn't like me.
'Sorry Father.' Draco said, lowering his head. He was so used to apologising to his father, that he did not even know what he was apologizing for.
'And you should be!' Lucius bellowed. 'I'm ashamed to call you my son! You're a failure and a fool! Did you even pass any subjects this year?'
'I believe so, Father.' Draco replied loudly, venom dripping from his words.
'Lucius, didn't you need to speak to the Dark Lord?' Narcissa said hurriedly.
'Yes, Yes, I shall go. I shall be back in two months. By then I expect you,' He pointed rudely at Draco, 'to bring pride to the Malfoy name.'
With that, Lucius turned and swept out of the room, his black robes gliding behind him.
There was a few moments of silence before Narcissa turned to Draco, and said, somewhat nervously, 'Er, Draco, sweetie, one of my close friends is going on a holiday with her husband, and I offered to let her daughter stay here. She should be here in time for dinner.'
'No!' Draco moaned, continually banging his forehead of a wall. 'Not only Pansy, but another girl as well! What did I do to deserve this?'
Narcissa eyed her son in alarm. 'Well, you could always invite one of your other friends. How about Blaise Zabini? He's your best friend, right? He seems to be a sweet young man.'
Sweet Merlin. Draco thought. Blaise is anything but sweet. However, I could do with the company. And.Pansy hates Blaise. So, if I hang out with Blaise, then she won't bother me! Draco, you evil genius!
'Mother, that sounds fine. I shall be in my room until dinner then.' Draco declared, and then quickly ran up the stairs, leaving his mother smiling to herself.
'I'm home, I'm home, I'm home, and I'll be staying here for two months!' Ginny sang.
'Ginny, honey, could you come here for a minute?' Her mother shouted.
'Sure, Mom.' Ginny called back, walking into the kitchen. 'What's up?'
Mrs Weasley sat on a low wooden chair at the dining table. She was tightly wringing a serviette. When the kitchen door opened, she twisted the serviette so hard that it ripped. She flushed when Ginny raised an eyebrow.
'Er, Ginny, I'm sorry we didn't tell you before, but.
'What is it, Mom? Come on, you can tell me anything.'
'Ginny, I'm really sorry, but your father and I have to go to a conference in Paris for the holidays.' Her mother said slowly and quietly.
Ginny squealed. 'I'm home alone for the ENTIRE holidays? No way! This is soooooooo good!'
Ron had decided to stay in a nearby flat to Harry's house during the holidays. He felt a need to protect his best friend after Harry was nearly killed because of Ron. Ron had failed to stay awake during his turn to watch Harry one night, and Voldemort had sent a 'death wish' to Harry during the night. A 'death wish' was a spell sent in an envelope. Usually the spell was one of the unforgivable curses. In Harry's case, it was the crutacious curse.
Mrs Weasley's voice was sad, and nervous. 'Actually no, I thought it would be safer if you stayed at one of my friend's houses.'
Ginny sank into a chair, feeling defeated and low. 'Who is it, then?'
'Narcissa Malfoy.'
