Chapter six
My Princess,
Can you really insinuate that your dear old loving innocent uncle would do such a thing? Look at it this way you get to see Draco in completely new light. You might even like what you find.
How bad could Draco have been? After all, weren't you both about ten when you first met? Natasha people change and seven years is a long time. Promise me you will give Draco a chance, as I am sure he is giving you a chance.
Have fun on your holiday and give Draco a chance he might very well surprise you.
Love Uncle Severus
Natasha read the letter on the train and thought 'Maybe Uncle Sevie is right. Maybe all I need to do is give Draco a chance, not like I have not already but that is not the point. Well I have changed a lot in seven years, hmm Draco's reaction to the new me should be interesting enough. Maybe this Christmas won't be so bad.'
My dear sweet Uncle Sevie,
Well people may change but I think I liked Draco better when he pushed me into a lake! Yes, I said I liked the old Draco Better. This new Draco is more arrogant and there is just something about him that I do not like.
Saturday, arrived all too quickly if you ask me. He is horrible. At this rate, the break will last forever. Save me please, I beg you. I will clean the dungeon floors if I have to, just please get me out of Paris. Well now that I am sure to have your full and undivided, attention let me tell you about the past three days.
Saturday, came by and I had to await the arrival of the Malfoys at the train station. Which is not a very clean place, it is rather disgusting actually. They arrived and looked like what some would call 'rich and snobby.' I am beginning to think that those people are right. Narcissa looked right at me and walked past me. She did not know who I was. Honestly, I could not have been that unrecognizable. I called out to them as Lucius and Draco began to follow her, she turned and looked very embarrassed that she did not realize who I was. Lucius than went on to tell me how I looked exactly like my mother as we got into the carriage, Narcissa nodded in agreement. Draco however, well he has a perverse mind I will tell you. He ogled me, I feel so used. How dare he use me like I am some piece of meat! The nerve of the boy. I brought them back to the villa where Father went with Lucius into the study and Narcissa left me to talk with Father's new girlfriend. Therefore, I was left alone with Draco.
It was like this for three days. Draco kept smirking at me and looking at me like I was his. So I did something that is probably going to get me in trouble one of these days, I slapped right across the face. Oh, it was priceless; his icy eyes went from no emotion to shock. I honestly had every right to slap him, after all, I am not his to smirk at and besides it is rude to ogle your host. Than he made me so angry when he asked why I slapped him, I just had to scream and storm off to my room. I just hate him so much.
The today was the worst though. Father asked me to show Draco around. I had to be out in Paris with him, it was almost mortifying. I say that because as I was showing my future husband around Paris, some girl came up to him and tried to flirt with him. She was saying things like 'you are the hottest thing that I have seen in Paris' and 'you look so good I could eat you up,' I believe the girl was blind though. Draco is not that good looking. With his icy blue-grey eyes, shaggy blond hair, muscular body and six-foot frame he is not that good looking. I did however, have the sudden urge to drag him a way from this girl, maybe to save her from one of his arrogant remarks. Draco just chuckled at the girl and walked away putting his arm around my waist leading me away.
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I have to get Draco something. I already have a gift for Lucius and Narcissa but I need one for Draco. What to buy him? Hmm maybe something deadly, like a poisonous snake or maybe a deadly toad. I wonder what Draco will buy me, maybe a pretty four-karat tear cut diamond ring to go on my pretty little finger.
Well have a Happy Christmas, Uncle Sevie. I love you, Natasha
Professor Snape placed the letter on his desk and thought 'well that is one half of the story, where is Draco's half?' Like magic, another owl appeared in the window with a letter from Draco to Professor Snape. Professor Snape picked up the letter and began to read.
Dear Professor Snape,
You might be surprised to hear from me, but I need someone to talk to and I have no other option. I hope you will be able to help me, and not have too much of a bias opinion because ….well… sir the girl that I am having problems with happens to be your niece.
As I am sure, you know sir, my family and I are spending the holidays with Natasha and her father. I have not seen Natasha in seven years and well she has changed. When I first saw her at the train station, I thought that she was just this beautiful muggle. Well she obviously was not; she was Natasha Seige, stunning. I could not take my eyes off her thus, making her very mad. Although, I do not understand why. After all I am of course me, Draco Malfoy, Slytherin Prince she should be grateful to have someone of my status look at her like there could never be another girl in the world! Of course, she was not grateful. In fact she did something that was so… so… ugh there are no words to describe what she did. She slapped me sir, she slapped me because I thought she was beautiful and because I cannot take my eyes off her. Natasha the girl who loathes me and I loath back very well slapped me because I had a nice thought about her. Tell me Professor, does that make any sense? No, it does not! Why do women have to be so moody? Three days later and Tasha still will not say why she slapped me, although I know it is because I had a, gasp, nice thought about her.
Than today, she took me out and showed me around Paris. It was actually very nice until this muggle girl decided to flirt with me. I did not flirt back or anything, I just listened to the girl talk and did the occasional chuckle and thank you. I believe that Tasha got a little bit jealous. Such an adorable girl, that Tasha, especially when she gets jealous. Her blue eyes get all large and shinny, her pink lips begin to twitch, and her shoulders roll in frustration. Ah, she is just so cute, all green with envy. Wait what am I saying? I, Draco Malfoy, think some girl is adorable. No, oh Merlin, no, I will stop thinking such thoughts. Life is much simpler when Tasha and I hate each other.
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I am supposed to buy Tasha a gift. I have no idea what she would like. Maybe I should get her something to remind her of our summer by the lake. Maybe I should get her a book. Any ideas professor?
Well have a happy Christmas, Draco Malfoy
Professor Snape read the letter and thought 'how feeble young love is. I do hope neither of them buys something that they will regret. I should write to them and maybe stop them from doing something they cannot take back. Why did I never notice how inflated Draco's ego was? Well it will not stay that way for long, princess will make sure of that.'
