Not much to explain here. Just that, if you're reading this, you can review if you want something added. I usually use your suggestions. I can also answer questions too. And flamers are welcome, but I probably won't pay much attention to them.

silentC: Daisy's in the next chapter, which I will have posted probably on Wednesday. And that's going to be the last chapter before I take a three week break, so be prepared for a bunch of new chapters when I get back.

We drove out of the city and into the countryside. I had never seen the countryside at this slow a pace. It was kelly green hills rolling to and fro, it was small forests that dotted the fields. Stone castles would appear almost out of nowhere.

It took nearly an hour to get out to the Manor. "We don't usually drive into town," Draco explained. "It won't take this long to get to town when we do it the real way." He punched me lightly in the arm when he said that. I just glared at him.

The car turned up a small dirt path that looked just like a field road. Almost a mile down the road, surrounded by thick trees, of course, was an iron gate with a huge "M" in the middle. We stopped for a while but then the gate opened and we passed without harm.

Draco reached down in front of him and pushed the button to lower the black glass. "I want you to see your new home," he whispered excitedly. He had good reason to be excited, the house was beautiful. The grounds were well manicured. The house was a dark blue color that curled around in an open square. The dirt path curved around to the front of the house.

The car came around and stopped at the arc of the circle. The driver got out and opened the door for Draco, who got out. Then the driver opened the truck to get out my bags, while Draco came around and opened my door. He offered his hand, which I gladly took, and gracefully hoisted myself up from the car seat. His arm snaked around my waist as he pushed me up the stairs.

"Put those in my chambers, please," he drawled to the driver.

"Yes, Master Draco. Please enjoy your stay, Mistress Jen," the driver bowed low and walked around the right side of the manor.

Inside was grander than the out. A great staircase of sparkling white marble circled slightly up and to the left. A blue carpet was laid out to either side. Off the right of the marble stairs was a slightly smaller wooden staircase that lead down; I guess leading to the servants' quarters and the kitchen.

"My mother's in here," Draco whispers, pushing open the door to the right so it opened all the way. Inside was a wonderful drawing room. Or what I thought was a wonderful drawing room, if I could see through the smoke. Just vaguely, I saw the figure of a woman, sitting in a chair, a cigarette in one hand, and a glass of vodka in the other. She was sitting and staring, just staring. It was quite creepy. Draco pulled the door closed. "She's really upset about father. I don't think she's come out of that room since they took him away."

I stood staring at the door. "Sorry I did that to her," I croaked, trying to push away tears.

Draco chuckled, "It isn't your fault. It's his for joining with the bastard anyway." Then, he pushed me onward, up the gigantic stairs.

"Right now, I live in the rear wing, but once they put my father in jail, I get the whole house," he remarked.

"What about your mother?" I inquired, looking around, as best I could, at the pictures of his family. He looked so much like his father.

"She's requested to have a small cabin built on the rear edge of our property."

"Hmm," I answered, still looking at all the beautiful things passing by. "So, I'm going to be living here? Glad I said yes then."

Draco laughed out loud as we came to a stop in front of a wooden door with a gold plague reading, "Master Draco."

"Welcome to your new home, dearest," he smiled before opening the door.

Beyond the door, the rooms suddenly lightened up. It seems that he had all the rooms on the inside extended while having the rooms on the outside ripped out and inserted large windows. It was stunningly light. He led me to the first door on the right. Inside, was the largest room I had ever seen. It was probably bigger than my house.

"And this is our room," he uttered. On the opposite wall was a large bay window, over looking a garden that was surrounded by the manor. A couch and two armchairs, along with a cherry coffee table, framed a fireplace. Placed to the right was another door, perhaps the bathroom, and on the left were sliding doors that lead to the bedroom.

The bed was king size canopy, with blue bed dressings. I walked into the bedroom and collapsed on the bed. I was dead tired. As I kicked off my shoes, Draco came in and laid down next to me, wrapping his arms around me totally as I fell asleep right there with him.
