Hey thanks for all the reviews, heres the new chp.
Chapter 18
I woke up the next morning, but I wasn't feeling much better. I found myself running to the bathroom at 4:00 in the morning, practically throwing myself at the toilet. I made it just in time.
Draco must have heard me puking my pregnant guts out, because he opened his bed room door and came in to hold my hair back. It was so sweet of him... but I think I was to busy barfing to notice.
"Baby, I don't really like you pregnant." he told me, leaning against the sink. "I mean, you're always vomiting now, and you've been kind of moody lately-"
"I have not!" I yelled, then ducked back into the toilet. I heard him sigh. "Of course you have been! I know it's only the hormones, but you have been."
"Whatever, now can you please leave so that I can take a quick shower." he nodded and left the room.
We walked in silence to our Advanced Transfiguration class, with the Ravenclaws. 'At least Harry and Ron aren't in here.' I thought.
'Draco'
"What? Who's there?" he said out loud.
"Mr. Malfoy, what are you talking about?" Professor Mcgonagall asked.
"Nothing, ma'am."
'Draco?' I looked at him.
He mouthed 'you', I nodded.
'What?' he thought.
'Nothing, I just wanted to talk to somebody'
'Well you just freaking made me look like an idiot'
'Sorry Sweety. I figured you would have known it was me'
'Yeah, I guess I should have. So what do you want to talk about'
'Well you know this morning.' he nodded. 'Well I'm sorry about that, it's just my hormones are way out of control, my dreams are starting to scare me, and I'm tired of always throwing up every morning.' he smiled and nodded.
'Don't worry about it, I understand, just try to stop and breathe before you blow a fuse'
I nodded, 'Thanks, well I'm going to let you go before we get caught. Love you'
'Love you, too.' We sat there listening to Mcgonagall for about 5 or 10 minutes, when there was a peck at the windo. It was a golden owl. Mcgonagall let it in and it flew over to me.
"Miss Lee, you know you are not supposed to have owls during class."
"Yes ma'am, but I didn't know that I was getting an owl." I took the letter, it was addressed to me.
"Now you can give me that letter until the end of class." she walked over to me. She reached out to take the letter but the owl snapped at her, right as another owl flew in the window. "It seems that I cannot take the letters so you may keep them." She stormed over to her desk, with many students snickering behind her back.
"Are you going to read them right now?" Draco asked. I shock my head no. "Why not?"
"Because I'm just not." I looked back down at the two letters. 'I wonder who they're from?'
Later on during lunch, I went to the common room so that I could read in peace, only to find Draco, Shane, and Blaise there waiting for me.
"What are you four doing here?" I said, giving each an evil glare.
"Well we are very nosy, and we want to know what the letters say." Blaise said.
"It is none of your business what they say; they are not addressed to you." I walked over to the desk and sat down.
"Just let us read them, once you're done." Shane said.
"Ok, but only if they are not to personal." They nodded.
I opened the first one, it read:
Marie,
(Fred) Finally, I can talk to you again. It's been so long. I know that this is really hard for you but I am here for you. (George) Yes and so am I. I know you didn't expect this from us, but do you remember during your 5th year, when we left. Well we got lost. (Fred) Draco found us and got us on his side and we've been on this side ever since then. I can't wait to see you in a couple of days (George) and neither can I. Well we must be going. (Fred) Bye.
Love, Fred & George I laughed even though I was crying. I turned around and gave the letter to Draco. I took the other letter but decided not to read it until later on.
"I will read it later." the nodded and we walked down to our next class, which was Potions with the Griffindors. We walked in to find Harry and Ron on the ground with Crabbe and Goyle standing over them. "Crabbe, Goyle back off." I said, and all the Slyterins looked at me. I walked over to them. "What's this all about?"
"Well they started it." Crabbe said.
"So what? What if I started something with you would you do me the same way?" They both shook their heads. "Why not?"
"Cause we saw what you did to them and we don't want the same to happen to us."
"Ok then don't beat them up unless I or Draco tell you to. Got it." They nodded and I sat down, with everyone still looking at me. "Stop looking at me dangit, I'm not some movie star." They all flinched. Snape walked in just as Harry and Ron got up.
"Now today we will be making a Disembodying potion." Everyone moaned, even me. The rest of the class went by slowly; just like the rest of our classes. I walked into the common room and threw my stuff onto the desk and took out the letter. Draco and them weren't here yet so I went to the bathroom. I locked the door and opened the letter. Marie,
Hey sis, I'm so glad that I get to talk to you. You may say that you don't know me, but actually you do. Do you remember your muggle friend Carter, well that was me your big brother. I had to keep and eye on my baby sister, but Carter is not my real name; Thomas is but you can call me Tom. I think I will be seeing you not next week but the week after that. Oh yeah and you've met Jess right? You do know who she is to you besides your wedding planner, well probably not, since Mum and Dad don't tell you everything. She is our sister, she's older than me but I'm cool with that. So how are you and Draco doing? Good I hope. I so can't wait to see you again after so many years, I want to see how beautiful you've turned out to be. I must be going, I have to go before my boss comes in here. Maybe after the honeymoon and after you and Draco get settled into Lee Manor, then you two or just you can come visit me in America. Love you bye.
Love,
Thomas Lee I walked out of the bathroom to find Draco standing right there. I just walked right past him and sat down on the couch.
"Who was the second letter from?"
"My brother. Why does it matter?"
"I was just wondering. So can I read it." I thought for a second.
"Maybe later." he nodded and sat down beside me.
"So where are the other two?"
"Who?" I looked at him. "OH... you mean Shane and Blaise." I nodded, "They're coming. They had some business to take care of."
I gave him a stern look. "What kind of business?"
"Just business."
"Draco Malfoy! What business did they have that I do not need to know about?"
"You will find out shortly." I gave him a confused look. "Don't worry about it. Ok?"
"Ok." I got up and went to the desk.
"Don't tell me you're about to do homework." I turned around with a peice of paper, quil and ink in my hands.
"Of course not." He just looked at me. "What? I'm serious, I'm writing my brother back."
"Oh ok, well can I read the letter he sent you." I nodded and threw him the letter as I sat down on the floor in front of the coffee table.
"Why don't you just talk to him?"
"I don't want to. Now just read the letter before Shane and Blaise get here."
I started writing the letter to my brother. When I had finished it read:
Tom,
Hey. So do you look like Mum or Dad? I have a lot of questions that I want to ask you, but I'm not sure how to ask them. For one, how come Mum and Dad didn't tell me about you and Jess when I first found out about them? So you live in America, where? Is it nice there? Of course, I would love to come and visit you, I don't know about Draco, but if he doesn't I still will. Right now he's reading the letter that you wrote me. I hope he gets done before Shane and Blaise get here. I get so tired of them being around sometimes and always in my business. Right now they're out doing something for Draco, which he wont tell me about, he said that I'll find out later. So how long have Mum and Dad been divorsed? And what did you mean by 'settling into Lee Manor'? I didn't know there was a Lee Manor, is it here or in France? Did you grow up there? Well I''m going to let you go, I figure I asked enough questions. You do know you don't have to write me back you can come see me or talk to me telepathicly.
Love your little sister,
Marie Ann I folded the letter and put it in an envelope addressed to Tom Lee. "Draco, do you think you can take this to the Owlery for me." he had been done reading the letter for sometime now, and had been reading a book. "Yeah, sure." He took the letter and started towards the door. "Oh yeah, if Shane and Blaise get back before I do, and they want you to go somewhere with them, don't argue. Ok? Just go." I nodded, giving him a questioning look, but he just walked out the door. When he left I went into the library and found a book on dragons and started reading. I had only been reading for about 5 minutes, when I heard a knock on the portrait door.
I walked over to the door. "Who is it?"
"Its Shane and Blaise. Can we come in?"
"Yeah." I opened the door and they walked in, Shane was holding a cloak and Blaise scarf. "Let me guess, you are taking me somewhere outside, which is why I need the cloak, and it's a surprise so I need the scarf." "Yes, so please just come with us. You will thank us later." I walked over to them and they put the cloak and scarf on me. I felt them leading me through the castle and down some stairs. Then, I felt a rush of cold air, which could only mean that we had walked outside. We walked for a while, but when we finally stopped and they had taken the scarf away from my eyes, I was amazed. We were standing in front of a beautiful house, but it was in the middle of the forest. "So this is it. Is Draco in there?"
"He should be, but we aren't sure." I looked back.
"What do you mean?"
"Exactly what I said." Shane said.
"Don't tell me I have to wait for him to get here." He nodded. "Please come in there with me and wait. I don't want to be alone." Shane looked towards Blaise, who shrugged his shoulders.
"Alright, we'll stay. Blaise, you stand out here and keep watch for Draco, and Marie and I will wait inside." Blaise nodded. We walked up the stairs to the door. He turned the knob and I walked in with Shane right behind me. We walked to the living room, and sat down on the couch.
"So Shane, how have you been lately. I mean we haven't talked much since that night."
"I've been good, I guess. How about you?"
"Good, besides all this pregnancy stuff and my parents." He leaned forward and kissed me, but I pulled away quickly, blushing. "So when is Draco supposed to be here?"
"Well you did send him to the Owlery, so he should be on his way here right now." We sat there in silence for 2 or 3 minutes when we heard a knock on the door. We both got up to see what was going on. "Yeah, what is it Blaise?" Shane asked as he got to the door. "Nothing, it's just that Draco's here." I opened the door, and looked past Blaise to see Draco standing outside with a dozen red roses. I ran past Blaise, and into Draco's arms. "You two can leave now." He said to Blaise and Shane, who walked past us back toward the castle.
"So you planned this whole thing." He nodded as he led me back into the house. "Why are you doing this?"
"Because I love you and nothing can stop us from being happy together." I felt myself blush. He led me into a room with candles everywhere, and a table right in the middle. It was the most romantic thing I've ever seen in my entire life. "So what do you think?"
"Oh, Draco. It's lovely. But why tonight? Is there something special about tonight."
"Because I need to ask you something, before we leave next week, and no there isn't anything special about it, except for what I'm going to ask you." "Ok?" He knelt down in front of me, took my hand in his, and took out a small black velvet box. He let go of my hand and opened the box and as he did he said. "Marie, you are my life, my happiness, my love, and you mean the world to me. If I wasn't so clumsy, I wouldn't have ever found out how truly wonderful you are. My love, will you marry me?"
"Yes, yes! Of course!" he slipped the ring on my finger and I fell into his arms. "So this is because you wanted to ask me yourself, isn't it."
"Sort of, but mainly because I wanted to express my feelings for you, and this is the only way I could think of."
"Oh well, it doesn't matter. As long as I'm with you, I'm happy." he led me over to the table and pulled out the chair for me to sit. "Thank you." he sat down, and rang a bell that had been on the table.
"You're welcome." A man came into the room carrying a tray with two wine glasses on it, and pulling a cart with ice and wine in it. He poured us a glass and then left.
"How long have you been planning this?" I took a sip of my wine.
"Oh, for about a month." The servant came back in and asked, "What will you have?"
"Two of my usual, Dre." he nodded and left.
"Your usual, you better hope I like it."
"Oh, you will, trust me." Dre came back carrying a tray with Pheasant and vegetable stew. We started eating every now and then we would say something, but most of the time we didn't speak. "So did you like it?"
"Yes. Of course, how could I not have, it was delicious." I leaned forward and gave him a small kiss.
"Good. Now we can go into the ballroom and dance for a little while." He pulled out my chair and took my hand, and led me down the hall to the ballroom. We danced for about an hour. When he said, "We should be heading back, it's getting early and we have classes tomorrow." I frowned, but nodded. He took my hand and took me to the front door, but I stopped him, and thought really hard about our common room. About 2 seconds later we were there.
"I don't want to be alone tonight. Can I sleep in your room?"
"Yes, of course you can, you don't have to ask me." I smiled and we walked up to his room.
