Happily Ever After Chapter One
(Disclaimer: I do not own any of the HP characters sadly I wish I did. Please review and I would love both good and bad criticism as it is only fair that all help me to better myself. So here is the first chapter to my story please enjoy.)
The sun shone out over England as a new day dawned on the inhabitants of the surrounding castle and villages. It had recently snowed and the palace stood with in glittering mountain of soft white snow. Not a single foot print marked the land as all were still asleep till the morning sun woke them from their dreams. The village was simple with its small snow covered dirt roads and wicker huts held with mud. The palace was what drew attention as it stood tall made of marble the color of the night and seemed to hold an unearthly glow.
Soon after the sun was pulled over the horizon a yell round through out the palace from the north wing, it seems life had started once more with in the dark marble walls. "Draconis Lucius Malfoy you get up this instant!" a gorgeous blonde woman yelled as she threw open to large black oak doors carved with dragons. "What is that I hear you cursed that Pansy girl with crabs and a leg lock curse." Empress Narssica spoke as she stood beside a king size four poster bed lined with emerald silk sheets. Her blond curls floated down her back in waves. Ice blue eyes seemed to chill the air as they locked on her son.
The young man in question pulled himself from under the silken sheets and down comforter as his mercury colored eyes darted open to catch his mothers. His slender fingers ran through his soft baby soft silver blond hair. "Well mother I wouldn't have cursed her if she hadn't been naked in my bed claiming she was my night cap last night" Draco spoke with a tone that seemed to freeze the already cold air. He sat up slowly pulling sheets with him as he stood to go to his changing curtain. He pulled on his favorite black silk pants and emerald poet's shirt. A black as night cape went around his shoulders and soon a long silver bastard sword was sashed to his waist. He quickly laced his knee high boots into a tight knot. " Now mother please allow me to escort you breakfast and we will continue this with father" Draco said softly as his hair fell in soft curls around his face and down his back as he took her arm and led her out.
Meanwhile in the kitchen a young woman was busy preparing the breakfast for the royal family. She had sparkling emerald eyes lined with a silver color. Her long knee length fiery hair was pulled back in a low pony tail. She wore a cotton dress that seemed to be patched together many times. Her name was Lilly Potter and she was the head of the court kitchens. She smiled as she placed a side three plates of food for her family. She was just placing the last of the many plates on trays when two strong arms wrapped around her waist and soft lips caressed her cheek. Emerald eyes met chocolate brown as she turned around. There stood her husband James Potter, as always he held a small pouch of needles, cloth, and thread and was dressed in patch work like his wife. He was the court tailor and would sometimes be called early in the morning to work. His soft midnight colored hair fell just below his shoulders in a small pony tail, those soft chocolate brown eyes locked into emerald green. "Hello beautiful and where is our young son this morning?" James spoke softly as he took a plate for himself and sat down watching the maids take the many trays away.
"He is most likely taking care of the Malfoy's horses. He has been out there more and more lately. Ever since the young prince turned the marriageable age 3 years ago they never seemed to be in the same place at the same time. Young Draco wishes to see him but every time Harry disappears almost like he is running. I just don't understand they were such good friends when they were young" Lilly spoke gently as she herself sat down to eat. Soon after a loud bang was heard as a slightly shorter then normal young boy fell through the door. He stood an unwavering height of 5'8", and held a soft childish appearance. He had long knee length ebony hair that was as straight the arrows on his back. Under those silken locks you could see two almost florescent emerald eyes with golden outlines. His clothing was that of baggy white cotton pants, crimson colon poet's shirt, brown length ankle boots and a patch work brown cotton cap.
"Hello mother... father how are you both is chilly morning. There is snow everywhere and the horses refused to go outside so it took longer to run them this morning the normal" Harry spoke as he took up his normal seat and began eating his breakfast. Harry was soon to turn 18 coming the following week and they had still yet to find if he was interested in a marriage or not. "Harry my boy I had hoped to make you a new clock with the scraps I get but that girl Pansy claimed she was given permission to ask for a new dress. I will not get another nice piece for a little while I hope you are warm enough" James said looking down hearted he couldn't give his family what they deserved. "Dad its ok this cloak will do fine for another week or so. Just make that bitch pay for it" Harry said coldly. Harry hated Pansy because she had used him to get into the court harem trying to get to draco's personal chambers, which to his delight she was thrown out of many times over.
Soon James and Harry stood to clean their dishes smiling to Lilly as they did knowing that she would kill them if she had to clean after them. "See you later this afternoon mother. The empress has bought a set of mares that need to be broken before she places them on a carriage line" he kissed her cheek softly as he walked past them both and out to the barn and James went towards the large wood doors leading to the main hallway, he had to fit the empress with new clothes for the pregnancy, soon she would be bigger then her dresses allowed.
