Chapter 3 - Ill-mannered meeting
Immediately Rosanna was awakened by the deafening noise of the pub underneath her feet. Creeping around the maroon curtains slightly, it was revealed to be a beautiful day. The sun glowed furiously in all his glory, and the leaves were full, ripe and bursting in colour. Roseanna was in need of a temporary occupation, so today was the day she would be visiting the Ministry of Magic. She wanted to make a good impression so she dressed decently and elegantly; donned in a cerulean bodice dress, which flowed down the length of her long legs, her hair was curled in lose tendrils accenting her indigo tints. 'Right all set?' she asked herself, smiling at her enchanted reflection. 'Go get them girl' the reflection beamed back at her. Roseanna made her way to the exit of the Leaky Cauldron, fifty or so pairs of eyes watched her in awe and wonder, however her attention was completely nothing, as she only had one thing on her mind today. 'Tom could I leave my room keys with you? I'm going to the Ministry today in order that I could get a job, I wont be back until about early evening is that ok?" the young girl enquired. 'That's fine me lass! An don't let them brutes scare yer, they're all bark but no bite especially that....' Tom quickly trailed off, as he knew he was rambling and keeping the woman's time. 'Thanks again for all your help Tom!' 'Any time lass, any time'
Meanwhile at the ministry .... 'I need you to place this advertisement around the Ministry office, thank you very much!" commanded a very cool and pompous Lucius to a very intimidated and mousy receptionist. 'As you wish Lucius' she replied timidly 'Pardon me, but you will address me in a suitable and formal fashion as you are just a mere receptionist, so would you be so kind to refer to me as Mr Malfoy ' he replied sharply with his bitingly cold tone. 'Excuse me', began a soft voice, 'Hello my name is Roseanna Catilina Graywood' I have been directed here by the phone booth operator, could you tell me where I can find the Magical Earning and Working office?' The mousy receptionist beamed, 'Yes dear, the 3rd floor and it's the 4th door on your right' 'Thank you so much!" Roseanna commenced on her way, but stopped suddenly when a tall, stylishly fine-looking man blocked her way. 'Excuse me pleased I need to get past' Lucius Malfoy looked down at Rosanna in disgust, 'I believe Miss –who-ever you are, that you were the one who rudely interrupted my conversation that was taking place just now!" (a small disgraced sniff and tuh from mousy receptionist)
'Define rude? Because as I heard before you weren't exactly Mr Polite were you SIR?' Rose sneered back sharply
Malfoy felt a rupture of rage, the little bitch he thought she's supposed to be intimidated by me, if she wasn't so darn fuckable I would hex her into nothingness!
'Watch your tongue girl, you wouldn't want to upset the wrong person, especially one so superior and important as myself' he whispered dangerously
Rose scoffed 'Ha ! You?! Important?! I suggest you find a decent dictionary and look up the words pretentious and haughty' she began taking great, long strides away from Malfoy, in that moment she span round and said
'Oh and for the record SIR, My name is Roseanna Catilina Graywood, and I believe this mindless and BORING little conversation has finished! GOOD DAY!" with that she left Malfoy utterly gob smacked and speechless. Around about 20 or so witches and wizards has observed this little spectacle, they started to question 'Who was that young women who stood up to Malfoy?' as no-one in their right mind would even get on the wrong side of him, as they knew of what unspeakable dealings he was part of. Malfoy was furious with temper, his once smoothed, flaxen locks has been whipped and splayed over his face "IF ANYONE WANTS TO BE HEXED INTO OBLIVION, KEEP ON STARING AT ME!!" almost at once, everyone rapidly began to move away from the scene and carry on with whatever that were doing.
'She'll pay' Lucius thought bitterly,' no one debases me and gets away with it'. At that moment a sly smirk crawled on his attractive face 'Hmmm, she was looking for work wasn't she? And what is better than a pureblood showing her how to talk to people who are in high society, yes the lovely creature is perfect!'
Lucius broke-away from his thoughts and commanded to the receptionist 'Forget my advertisement, my dear' he leered, 'It has been filled quite sufficiently, you will send me the credentials and the application of Miss Roseanna Catilana Graywood correct?" 'Yes Sir' replied the receptionist, bowing her head 'Good day'
ROSEANNA POV Rose couldn't believe she would be talked to in such a disrespectful manner; her stubborn temper smouldered in thoughts of hatred and fury about that haughty, pretentious, pig- head of a man. She wondered how one could be so elegant and attractive and have the attitude of a common hog! 'Wait.. I don't believe it! I have considered HIM attractive?' argued her inner conscience 'Well he had the looks that most people would die for, tall, broad, lengthy platinum blonde hair, azure but steely eyes. All in all he was quite a dish!' Rose thought to herself
'Oh come on Rose. Wake up!! The man is worthless, you will never see him or that malodorous attitude again, and therefore he isn't worth bothering about! The subject of Lucius Malfoy was forgotten, without more ado Roseanna ventured into every shop she could find and her shopping spree commenced!
LUCIUS POV Malfoy surveyed Roseanna's application, supplied by the Ministry of Magic. He was somewhat impressed with her experiences and qualifications. She had currently graduated from Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizadry, excelled in ALL areas of magic in particular the specialised fields of Potions and Transfiguration.
'Hmmmm', Lucius thought 'she will be useful after all ... very useful in fact. Potions? I wonder why old Severeus never told me about this enchanting woman? Probably wanted to keep her to all to his ugly, old self', he snickered.
Reading on, he couldn't quite believe that she was an experienced dragon tamer from Sydney, Australia ('how very encouraging.. must have been where she adopted her fiery temper') And that she cared for hippogriffs ("Damn them creatures to hell!" Lucius spat mentally in revulsion) And a few months before she was a feral feline in the Muggle world (' Associating with Muggles? Blah!! Whatever the hell is feral feline? Hmmm I'll ask her to show me when we get shall we say... better acquainted? He motioned provocatively
Finally Lucius was relieved when it was revealed that Rose was indeed a pureblood and that her family, blood/birth line was located in the Parisian realm of the fee bleue ville. Malfoy took off his darkly rimmed spectacles he smirked wickedly 'my dear girl I have some plans for you, I think we'll both have some pleasure with you being my... personal servant so to speak!)
