Flashback Parisian Realm – Fee bleue ville
A young girl, approximately aged sixteen stretched out the length of her long arms and yawned fully, she then flumped back beneath the fluffy blankets of her stately sized bed. In four achingly long weeks, she would be returning to Hogwarts, the place that she dearly loved and felt safe and secure behind its rough yet enchanting walls. The girl despised her majestic but snobbish mansion; indeed it was luxurious but the greed for power and darkness intoxicated every corridor and every doorway. Sometime in the near future the girl will leave this shadowy decadence behind, and enter a life and reality that will be her very own... or so she hoped at least.
"Roseanna!" a sickly sweet voice entered her chambers; "You are expected in the lounge within half an hour" a head full of raven tendrils peered at the door, her green eyes pierced disapprovingly "Don't be late this time my dear, for this will decide the ultimate moment in your life!"
Roseanna groaned outwardly, she was relieved that infuriating mother of hers was out of sight. "What does she want this time?" she asked herself
.................................................................................................................. Half an hour later Main Lounge Roseanna waited by the door, she was shivering out of coldness and anticipation. She toyed with her dark locks nervously, at the same time actually concerned about the meeting, her parents NEVER wanted to see her, unless they wanted to punish her and patronise about her sorting ceremony six years ago. All of her family ancestors were categorised into Slytherin, Roseanna was the only family member that was assorted into Ravenclaw. Inside, the young girl heard the brusque tone of her father beckoning her into the room. Roseanna observed the raven-haired women and the stern-face man in front of her; as usual they perused their daughter with utter displeasure. "You wished to see me Father" commenced Rose, whom winced at both of her parents with equal displeasure.
"That is correct" Vito stated, "Roseanna Catalina Graywood you have discontented your mother and myself, many times too often"
Rose was innately fuming, how dare could he say that? As normal she said nothing and again suffered in silence. "However we can indeed forget everything and start anew, as long as you obey and proceed with this particular.. erm... shall we say.. Pronouncement that both I and Ariel have arranged"
Rose stared at her father in both curiosity and uncertainty; part of her wanted to make her parents proud, yet another bawled in rebellion and tore away that emotion. "What pronouncement would this be father?" answered the young girl, in a gritted smile. "It has been arranged that after your two final academic years at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, (Rose mentally rolled her eyes, exactly when was her father getting to the point) that you will be betrothed to the very wealthy and extremely influential Pierre de' luc" For once in his bitter life, Vito actually beamed at his daughter, it was if he purposely made this decision in order to get rid of her.
Roseanna's eyes literally popped out of her head with rage "Did I HEAR you correctly father?" "Yes it's rather wonderful isn't it?" Vito said in the most pompous fashion, "And the fact that Pierre actually chose YOU was really startling, I mean you haven't got the most credential reputation have you my dear?"
Roseanna was practically full to brim with 16 years of pent up hatred and anger, "How dare you!" she growled, "I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR ARROGANT WASTE OF SPACE, GOOD NOTHING GARBAGE THAT SPEWS OUT OF YOUR MOUTH EVERYTIME YOU OPEN IT! YOU ARE FUCKING SCUM VITO! YOU'RE THE FUCKING BASTARD THAT HIDE BEHINDS A SUPPOSED GOOD NAME AND THEN COMES HOME AND BEATS THE SHIT OF HIS WIFE!" Both Ariel and Vito were infuriated with their daughter's truthful outburst. "GET OUT OF MY SIGHT FILTH!" bellowed Vito "DON'T WORRY, I'M FUCKING GOING! I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN COME BACK TO THIS HELL HOLE!", with that Rose slammed the door closed, that was the last time she ever saw the entrance of Graywood Hall.
End of Flashback ...................................................................................................... 8.00pm Roseanna opened her eyes, and found that she had been dozing over the research collected earlier that day, her thoughts returned to that very memorable year when she was 16, she could actually feel the exhilarated of freedom running through her veins. It was the getaway that truly introduced to who she really was. Roseanna remembered the blissful, summer holiday that took place after, she stayed in a little haven called Crystal valley located somewhere in North of England, where she worked an as entertainer aka 'The feral felines', she found friends who truly loved and cared for her yet; most of all she reminisced about the warm, sizzling nights that she spent on the beach with Speed. Roseanna winced and her heart ached by the sound of that name, her mind forced her to move onto more important matters more specifically: her research.
The cobalt elixir has proved to be very interesting, but the same time extremely tempting, she thought it was very useful indeed to both her and Lucius Malfoy.
Lucius Malfoy made her work to the best of her ability, and she was doing this. Roseanna was still undecided of this man; he was certainly honourable and could always have a healthy debate with him, yet his hot temper was vile and intolerable. Still, she unconsciously blushed when thinking about him this was because; he was undeniably gorgeous and always seemed to credit her work when needed. Roseanna felt the desire to get closer to him but that would be impossibility, for the reason that Malfoy only conceded her as his employer, and wouldn't be all interested in her romantically. 'Hell man woman! He is married, to a beautiful blonde goddess no less! It is disgusting that you have taking a fancy to your employer – not to mention ex-death eater!' Outwardly, Roseanna was appalled with herself, yet inwardly she couldn't contain her curiosity. .................................................................................................................. 8.00pm at Malfoy Manor
Let me go
You come in my dreams
You pulsate my veins
Am I going insane?
I want you
But you're not real!
Why! Leave me be!
You know I want you
Need you
Feel you
But I cant
. I'm stuck
In my safe xistance, securely miserable
Nights are the only time I venture and escape
To you
You grip and ache
Do you want me!
Do you want me!
Do you want me!
I star and glow in golden silence
Where it's cold and unfeeling
Numb
Numb
Numb
I don't feel your noise
But your touch
Kiss me again
Own me with your bruises
Make them deep and permanent
They are a memoir Of when I go back to morning
I can't and I won't
Take me away
I cannot wait
To get away from here.
Lucius relentlessly felt that he was constantly waiting for HER, blast! He couldn't remove her from his head! 'She will be here in three hours! Calm yourself down man!' He felt his temper rising which fueled his aggravation, in which he thrown the goblet he was presently holding, and it smashed against the wall. "ELF!" he barked, in a matter of seconds the little scrawny house elf emerged into the study.
"Yous called me master" it said in its shrill little voice
"CLEAN UP NOW!", Elf immediately set to work, leaving the wall clean and untarnished like it was before the goblet and its contents collided.
'Lucius Malfoy apologise to Elf this instant!" called a dulcet voice. Lucius turned round and observed his personal assistant with disclosure.
'Miss Graywood, I wasn't expecting the pleasure of your company till ten o clock"
"Well I'm here now Mr Malfoy, so I'll give you an account of my research but firstly, I insist you apologise to ELF" Roseanna smiled and looked down at the minute creature that stood beside her, sobbing.
"Fine! ELF I apologise, have five minutes off!" "Thank you Master!" she squeaked and exited the room.
Lucius stared unwaveringly at Roseanna "Happy?"
"Yes thank you!", "Lets begin shall we?" she questioned him cheerfully
