Chapter Two:
Narcissa climbed the stairs walking down the long hall nodding to some of the portraits. She came to a stop outside Juliet's door, knocking lightly she slowly opened the door to see Juliet's trunk open at the end of her queen size bed, half full.
"Juliet why are you packing now?" Narcissa asked as Juliet walked out of her wardrobe. Having just turned seventeen a couple of weeks ago Juliet now attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, this year was her sixth year as a Ravenclaw.
"Mother, school starts next week. There's a lot to do."
"Very well. Dinners almost ready, make sure you look nice." Narcissa said as Juliet dropped some books into her trunk.
"Why? Is father having someone over?" Juliet asked.
"Yes, Louise Flint is coming over she's also bring Marcus." Narcissa replied and Juliet groaned laying on her bed.
"But mother, Marcus is cruel, vulgar and just plain old mean to me."
"Louise tells me Marcus has changed, he's spent this past summer in military school, the same one his father went to at his age." Narcissa replied and Juliet rolled her eyes.
"Tish, tosh." She muttered.
"Just behave yourself, for your father's sake." Narcissa replied walking out leaving Juliet to mutter to herself.
Juliet walked down the stairs wearing a long black dress, her best black heels. Her caramel coloured hair was out reaching just below her shoulders. She walked into the living to see her parents by the bar with them was a short, slim woman with chocolate brown hair which was pulled into a bun. Lucius looked up,
"Ah here's my angel now." Juliet turned on the smile as she walked over.
"Good evening Mrs Flint." Juliet said.
"Yes good evening Juliet." Louise replied with a smile.
"Mrs Malfoy where would you like this?" A deep voice asked entering the room. Juliet turned round to see Marcus Flint, the Slytherin Quidditch captain. His normally scruffy black hair was now cut short, he was also wearing a suit and tie. Juliet noticed he was also broader the shoulders and his teeth no longer made him look like a troll.
"Just put those on the table dear." Narcissa said as Marcus put the plate of crackers and cheese down.
"Hello Juliet, looking beautiful as always." Marcus said and Juliet felt her face heat up.
"Marcus, you look.... Ah different." She managed.
"So Juliet." Louise started. "Your father's been telling me your prefect again this year."
"Yes, it's just another step closer in the running for head girl. Also a chance to set good examples for other houses." Juliet replied glancing at Marcus who raised an eyebrow. The maid however walked in announcing dinner, Lucius led Narcissa and Louise into the dining room. Marcus walked over to Juliet.
"Were you implying that Slytherin's don't set good examples?" He asked trying to look offended.
"Who me? No of course not, I was just implying that Ravenclaw is the better house." She replied walking into the dining room before he had a chance to reply.
"Lucius, where is your son Draco?" Louise asked.
"He's staying with a friend." Lucius replied. Juliet looked at her wine glass as her parents started to discuss the going's on at the ministry of magic where her father worked very closer with Cornelius Fudge the minister of magic. Marcus watched Juliet trying to catch her eye, finally she looked up shocked to find him staring.
"Father may I be excused?" She asked and he nodded, Juliet put her napkin down as she stood up glancing at Marcus before she left. She walked out into the entrance making her way up the stairs when she name was called by that same voice she wished not to hear.
"Marcus, I'm rather tired so goodnight." Juliet said continuing up the stairs reaching the hall when he grabbed her arm stopping her. She turned coming face to face with Marcus, his dark brown eyes locked on her stormy blues.
"I missed you." He said quietly and Juliet frowned.
"Missed me? You can barely stand me."
"Things change, people change. I saw the way you looked at me tonight." Marcus said as Juliet pulled her arm out of his grip.
"It was a look of shock, maybe disgust. You haven't changed, you still as deluded as you were last year." Juliet replied knowing he would snap any moment now.
"Oh Juliet, say what you like I won't snap." Marcus said as she walked into her bedroom slamming the door in his face.
'How dare he think, I would like him' she thought picking up a book throwing it across the room as the door opened. Marcus shook his head.
"You should really learn to control your anger."
"Get out of my room Flint." She spat as he closed the door walking over to her.
"Juliet the only reason I was mean to you for years and years was because I liked you. The very thought of you makes me happy." Marcus admitted and Juliet just stared at him.
'Did he just say that? Or am I dreaming?' She asked herself.
"This would be the art where you reply." He said and Juliet opened her mouth but no words came out so she shrugged.
"Maybe this might help." Marcus added stepping closer cupping her face in his hands leaning in when her door opened again. Marcus jumped back putting his hands in his pockets, lucius walked in giving them puzzling looks.
"Marcus your mother is ready to leave." Lucius said and Marcus looked at Juliet giving her a small smile before almost running from the room.
"Angel, I do not want you to get involve with Marcus flint."
"But father...." She started but he looked at her, a look Juliet knew meant she better shut up and listen.
"I don't care for buts. I'd sooner see you with a mud blood than Marcus flint." Lucius replied saying his name as if Marcus was dirt on his shoe. Juliet nodded as he left closing the door.
Later that night Narcissa was combing her hair when Lucius walked in sitting on the bed. "I think Marcus has feelings for Juliet." He said and Narcissa gasped turning round.
"No can't." She cried.
"But he does, I walked in and he was almost about to kiss her." And Narcissa cringed.
"That's disgusting, she leaves for school in a few days. We can't watch them there." Lucius nodded in agreement.
"Maybe Snape could watch over them for us." But Narcissa shook her head.
"Maybe you should tell her." Lucius stood up.
"Then I would have to tell her everything. She's too young." Lucius replied.
"She's not a little girl, she's seventeen years old and has the right to know about her past, the truth." Narcissa said.
"Hush, she will be told when the time comes and not before. I'll owl Snape in the morning." Lucius replied then walked into the bathroom.
