Chapter 2
Chloe sighed and flopped down backwards on her bed. Dinner had been bad. Draco had mentioned how she hadn't wanted to play Quidditch with him and she'd got another lecture off her father. She hadn't really paid attention to it though and had escaped back to her room as soon as she could. She was looking forward to going to Hogwarts, but she didn't want to be sorted into Slytherin. She wanted to be in Ravenclaw. She felt that that House would suit her better.
She also wanted to know what it was that her father had spoken to Draco about when he had called them in from the Quidditch pitch. It was obvious that something was going on and Chloe was eager to know what. She also wanted to know what had happened to the House-elf Dobby, he had always been nice to her but he's suddenly disappeared and she didn't dare ask her Father were he was. None of the other house-elves were as nice as Dobby and she missed him. He had been her friend. That was another good thing about going to Hogwarts, Chloe thought with a smile, she would be able to make friends and not be forced to hang around with children who had deatheaters for parents. If she wasn't in Slytherin then she could choose her own friends, not the people who Lucius Malfoy thought were suitable for her to know. They were mainly all boys anyway, apart from that Pansy Parkinson who was in Draco's year. She couldn't stand the girl but Draco seemed to like her. He seemed to like her a lot and Chloe had a suspicion that this was a good thing because she thought that they were intended for each other and would be forced into an arranged marriage as soon as they left Hogwarts. Chloe shuddered to think of the thought of her father forcing her into an arranged marriage, she knew that if he did it would be someone completely inappropriate who she would hate. Hopefully, if she wasn't sorted into Slytherin, Lucius would denounce her and she would be free to do as she pleased.
Standing up she walked to her bookshelf and randomly pulled out a book. It turned out to be a muggle book, one from Lucy Daniels' 'Animal Ark' series. She loved the series and couldn't decided which books to take to Hogwarts. She also couldn't wait to see the library at Hogwarts. It promised to be good. She had already decided that she was going to be the cleverest witch in her year, but she was going to stay quiet in class and not volunteer answers unless called upon.
She heard someone walk past her door and once again Draco walked in. Chloe put down her book and sat up on her bed. Draco joined her. "Not reading that muggle trash still, are you?" he asked. "You wont be doing that in Hogwarts, I can assure you. I wont let you."
"And what makes you think I'll do as you say?" she asked, when what she really wanted to ask was, 'How do you know that I'll be sorted into Slytherin and you'll be able to keep an eye on me?'
"Because if you don't I'll tell Father and he will be most displeased with you," Draco answered. "Honestly Chloe, you need to get your act together, you're breaking Father's heart by the way you're acting. This summer, I'm going to teach you how to be a proper Slytherin, so you'll know how to act when you're sorted. You'll be immediately accepted because you're a Malfoy and I'm your older brother," Draco draped an arm around her shoulders and if someone who hadn't known then could see them through Chloe's bedroom window they would think that they were a happy brother and sister enjoying time together. In reality, however, all Chloe wanted to do was to scream at Draco to get out of her room and to leave her alone. "We'll start by you stopping reading this trash," Draco instructed her as he placed the 'Animal Ark' book in her hand. Chloe stood and put it back on its place on the shelf.
Draco smiled at her. "Now for your clothes." Chloe looked down at her mostly white tartan skirt, her white top that, had black lace sleeves, white knee length socks and buckle over black shoes. She looked back up at Draco. "That outfit is actually very nice and suitable," Draco informed her, "but it clashes with mine." Draco was wearing black combat trousers and a Slytherin green shirt which was unbuttoned at the collar.
Draco walked over to her wardrobe and Chloe followed, knowing that she would have to go along with his plans for now. Draco studied the inside of her wardrobe carefully, trying to find something that would go well with his outfit. Chloe decided to help him out as much as she loathed the idea. If she could get through this summer then she could be free at Hogwarts. She pulled out a Slytherin green pleated skirt from one of the drawers, a black blouse with silver stitching and black ankle socks. She could wear her buckle over shoes that she was wearing with the outfit. "Perfect!" Draco told her. "Go and get changed."
Chloe obeyed him and studied her appearance in the mirror critically. She looked very Slytherin and she didn't like it at all. Nonetheless she went back into her room to show Draco how she looked. "Much better," he told her, "Father will be pleased. Now for your hair."
Chloe stifled a sigh and took her hair out of its two customary plaits. She brushed it with a little bit of water and it returned to its usual straightness and fell to her mid-back. "Wow, Chloe!" Draco exclaimed. "I didn't know that you're hair was so long." Chloe couldn't help but offer her brother a shy smile, it actually felt nice to have his approval and to be acting like a sister with him. She quickly caught that thought, she did not want to be like Draco. She did not respect him as a person. Draco smiled back at her and went to look at her hair accessories. He picked out a sliver hair-band and handed it to her. She obediently put it in and then gave him a look as if to say, 'what next?' "A necklace I think, and then we're done with your appearance," and Chloe resisted the urge to roll her eyes as she though, there's more?! She put on the black and silver chocker necklace Draco handed her and went and stood in front of the mirror. Draco joined her and she could see that he was right, their outfits not complemented each other perfectly and they looked how the children of Lucius Malfoy should. Chloe knew that her Father would be very impressed and she had a sinking feeling in her stomach that if she played along with Draco for the summer she was either going to be sorted into Slytherin or her father and Draco would be even more disappointed in she wasn't.
She didn't have time to think long because Draco had grabbed her by the hand and had dragged her out of the room. Chloe didn't even ask where to, she just went along with him. The next thing Chloe knew she and Draco were in her Father's study, somewhere she had never been allowed before and Draco was asking if they could go clothes shopping tomorrow because not many of their clothes matched. This got Lucius attention and he looked up. When he saw Draco and Chloe he smiled and Chloe decided that she did not like that smile.
