Chapter 4: I'll be an angel
"Ginny! Ginny! Wake up! It's already 10am! You have to get ready! We only have like 2 hours and we have to go! Your first impression always counts and today that's what you're going to make! GET UP ALREADY!" Sera shouted at her soon to be sister-in-law who was currently faking sleep. They were both supposed to go to the Malfoy Manor for lunch with Narcissa and Draco Malfoy who some of Sera's dearest and oldest friends. She had to properly introduce Ginny to them, after all, her and Narcissa had made some plans for the two teens.
"I'm up, don't shout, what time is it?" Ginny mumbled to Sera
"It's a little past ten and we have to be at the Mafloy's in less then 2 hours and you have to get ready and eat something so I suggest you hurry up." Sera answered sharply. When Sera was finished Ginny jumped out of bed and rushed to the washroom mumbling about lack of sleep. Although Ginny wasn't even close to ready, Sera had already gotten ready. She was wearing a very pretty red sleeveless sundress that went down to a little below her knees. Over her dress, she was going to wear a thin black traveling cloak and hold a nice jean purse with it. Also, she was going to wear flat flip- flops and she was wearing a little bit of mascara, light lip gloss and a bit of gold eye shadow.
After waking Ginny up, she went down to the room she shared with Bill to wake him up. After being unable to wake him up, she went over to the living room to write a short letter to Narcissa.
Dear Cissa, It was very sweet of you to invite us over for lunch and very thoughtful. I spoke with Ginny about becoming friends with Draco and as you've spoken with Draco, I reckon we should send them to the rose gardens or something like that to "hang out." Please reply soon, Yours truly, Seraphina
Sera tied the letter to her owl and sent it out into the sky. While Draco and Ginny were off shopping, Sera and Narcissa had made up a plan.
Flashback
"Draco has grown up so much from the last time I saw him! I'm sure so many people have made marriage offers? After all, he does have to be engaged before he's 18 or he won't be given the family fortune. If he isn't engaged by then, the fortune will be given to the next male Malfoy in line. Am I correct?" Sera questioned
"Almost correct dear, Lucius' great-great grandfather made a few more requirements, they two people going to be engaged had to be good friends, the family of the girl and the girl herself could not be Voldemort supporters, the girl could not be older then draco, even if it was by a second, also, there would be no way for the marriage to break and finally, the girl had to be in the opposing house of draco's. They're very hard things to meet, that's why there is so much money lying in the Malfoy account. Lucius was very lucky as I was in Gryffindor and he was in Slytherin, but we were still good friends and somewhat in love. Had he not married me, he wouldn't have been given the fortune either and all the money that was set out for him would have doubled and accumulated for the next heir. So many Malfoy's have been unable to gain the fortune and thus the money has been going up and up and up. I do hope Draco can find someone. Do you have any ideas?" Narcissa explained
"Well, you know Ginny, my soon to be sister-in-law, she fits into almost all the criteria. Her entire family including her hate Voldemort, she is a year younger then draco and she is in Gryffindor. The only problem is, Draco and Ginny aren't good friends. If we can make them good friends, then this thing may just work. What do you say?" Sera said with a sinister smile.
"Oh that would be absolutely lovely, we have about a year to make them good friends. Do you think it would be a good idea to explain the circumstances to draco and ginny?" Narcissa asked
"No way, that would make them hate each other even more. After all, it could work. Draco is a good boy and so if Ginny. They both share the love of music, art, sports and they both want to be known for themselves, not in the shadow of someone else. We just need to set them up, that's all." Sera reassured her friend.
"Sera darling you are an angel! You might just make this happen, but before I must let you in on one more detail. If Draco and Ginny were actually to get married, they would share all the Malfoy Properties together. Now then, we have it settled right? We are actually going to try to make this work." Narcissa confirmed the plan.
"Yes, we have it figured out, we need them to open up to each other. But when will they see each other?" Sera asked
"Why don't you join us for lunch tomorrow?" Narcissa invited
"We'd love too." Sera answered and then changed the subject.
End of Flashback
It was a perfect plan, except for the fact that Ginny and Draco hated each other's guts, but all could be changed.. right? That's what she hoped. She was also worried about how Bill would react, if she told him. She still wasn't sure. Thinking about how the Ginny and Draco could become friends, Sera went into the kitchen to grab her wand, make some tea and transfigure something into a small vase to put some roses into, because Narcissa loved roses. While she was fixing up the roses, Bill walked in,
"Good morning sweetie." He said as he wrapped his arms around her waist for a hug. She simple replied with a peck on the cheek and continued fixing the roses. When she was done with the roses she decided she should tell Bill about the plan.
"Bill, I really need to talk to you. Grab your tea and meet me in the study alright?" She said as she wrote Ginny a little note. After writing Ginny the note, she walked down to the study with Bill right behind her.
"Whats wrong dear?" Bill asked in a very concerned voice as he sat down beside her on the couch.
"I know you might be very angry with me but I swear I was only thinking of the best. You know how I'm very close with the Mafloys? Well, I met Narcissa and Draco the other day when I was shopping with Ginny. Narcissa and I decided to send the two off to get robes together so we could talk. There was a spell placed on the Malfoy line that to inherit the fortune, the male heir would have to be engaged by his 18th birthday. The person that he was supposed to be married to would have to follow a certain criteria. First, the girl would have to be younger then the male. Second, her entire family including herself would have to be anti-Voldemort. Third, she would have to be in the opposite house as the male heir. And Lastly, she would have to be good friends with the male. If the male heir is unable to find a fiancée by his 18th birthday, he wouldn't get the fortune and it would be given to the next possible heir and the money that was set out for the heir would double and it would keep accumulating. Since the criteria is very difficult to meet, not many malfoy's have been able to gain the money. But Narcissa really wanted for Draco to gain the money, so I suggested that ginny could be a possibility. But that would only work out if they became friends, so Narcissa and I have been trying to make ginny and draco friends since the day we met. Now I feel very badly because she isn't even my sister although I treat her like one and I didn't know how you would react, but I'm telling you anyways. Oh, please don't be angry." Sera finished
"I think it's a good idea, I mean if gin marries Malfoy then she's entitled to the fortune too and they might actually be good for each other. I don't think that Charlie would mind much either. It's just that ron and dad might have problems with it. And don't worry I'm not angry with you, I know you were thinking for her best." Bill replied, pulling Sera into his lap and giving her a huge hug.
"Oh Bill you're the best! But are you willing to help?" Sera questioned
"Of course, after all Draco can't be that bad right? Especially not if you like him." Bill replied as he moved in to kiss her. Very slowly he placed his lips on hers, savoring the taste of the tea on her lips. Although it had started out slowly, the passion behind the kiss grew by every second. They started kissing with more hunger. A soft moan escaped from Sera's lips, before they knew it, the delicate kiss had turned into a passionate snog session. After about 20 minutes, they were interrupted by "HOLY SHIT SERA IT'S 11:40!"
"Oh no! I have to go!" Sera exclaimed, "and thanx for being so understanding."
"Don't worry about a thing and by the way, we're continuing this tonight," he added with a wink.
They both rushed out with goofy grins on their faces. It was obvious to tell that they were very much in love, but those smiles slowly faded away when they saw that Charlie was running around madly chasing an owl and ginny was attempting to put out a fire. Bill quickly put out the fire and Sera caught the owl and took the letter, which was from Narcissa.
Dear Sera, Good job, I'll make sure that they spend time outside together. Come soon, Cissa
As soon as she had read the letter she gave the bird water and let it go, stuffing the letter into the garbage. She then looked at the time, it was 11:50!!
"Ginny have you eaten something? Are you ready? Do you have your cell? Do you have everything you could need?" She asked ginny.
"Ya, I got everything I need, is what I'm wearing alright?" Ginny asked. She was wearing a green sundress with a silver cloak. She had some clear mascara on, a hint of silver and green eye shadow and a little bit of lip gloss. She was carrying a black purse with silver and green flowers on it.
"Gin, what happened? You're all Slytherin!" Sera said in shock.
"Well I have to make friends with Draco so why not try with some Slytherin- ness?" Ginny replied sweetly. Truth be told, she had always liked the Slytherin colors, they were so amazing and mesmerizing in comparison with Gryffindor colors, most of her clothing had some sort of green or silver in it.
"Well we're going to portkey to the entrance. Now be nice and don't be rude. Also be very very polite." Sera lectured
"Yes mother, I'll be a little angel." Ginny replied sarcastically
"Ginny, honestly be a good girl." Bill said strictly, "or else.."
"Alright alright, I'll be a good girl and I'll try to be nice to him ok?" Ginny answered
"Bye everyone!" Sera shouted as they grabbed on to their portkey, which was a wrinkled up old newspaper.
"3, 2, 1" counted down ginny, and then they both felt the pulling sensation at their naval as they were brought to the Malfoy Manor.
"Ginny! Ginny! Wake up! It's already 10am! You have to get ready! We only have like 2 hours and we have to go! Your first impression always counts and today that's what you're going to make! GET UP ALREADY!" Sera shouted at her soon to be sister-in-law who was currently faking sleep.
