Get Off My Cloud

When Micayla arrived at Jagger Home she was practically tackled by Narcissa. "Are you alright, my dear? I told your mother that Floo is such a risk, especially when you are pregnant. Are you sure that you are alright? You aren't dizzy?" Micayla was bombarded with questions from Narcissa. But she wasn't listening. Jezebel saw Micayla staring at something. Or rather, someone, standing in the corner. "I'm fine, 'Cissa." Micayla answered absent-mindedly, while smiling hopefully at Draco, who looked a bit daunted, but he smiled back, and walked over to where the two women were standing. " Jez, why don't you show my mother the kitchen?" he suggested to the woman he considered as a second mother.
"But she's already seen the-oh" Jezebel said as she saw the pointed look Draco gave her.
"Come, 'Cissa, I have some champagne in the refrigerator, we can celebrate a successful moving in. Mike, you too." She said as her husband came flying in through the fireplace.
"ok." Said Michael simply, stopping only to see in his daughter was alright.
" I love champagne." Said Narcissa, as she started telling the Jagger's about her holiday in France, walking through the door , leaving the two teenagers alone finally.
"I'm sorry for not telling you in person, Draco." Micayla said after a moment of silence.
"Its ok, Mick. I would have done the same thing… I understand." Draco said.
"Um, Drake? If you want to have nothing to do with me, I understand that. If you want to keep being normal. I won't tell anyone that the baby is yours… and you can see other people. I'll leave you alone." Micayla burst.
Draco, however, looked appalled.
"Why would I ever want to leave you? I want everyone to know that the baby is mine. Angelus, you are mine, and as you know I am very possessive." Draco finished, using the name he had given her when they had first started dating.
Micayla looked at him and smiled, a real smile this time, and one that she saved for Draco. He smiled back and pulled her lips to his. "Marry me?" he whispered as she broke of the kiss for air. "If you insist." She teased.
"I insist." He said as he pulled a small box from his pocket. He opened the lid and inside was a white gold ring, decorated with emeralds, sapphires and diamonds. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. Micayla's eyes filled with tears as he slid the ring onto her finger.
"you know that I'm going to Hogwarts to finish the year, right? She asked.
"Yeah, why?" Draco answered, holding her hand.
"Just checking. What house do you thing I'm gonna be in?" Micayla asked.
Draco thought before answering "I'd like to say Slytherin, but you'll probably be in Gryffindor. What you are doing is the bravest thing I ever saw anyone do." Draco looked into her eyes. "The first thing I thought when I read your letter was 'she is carrying our child.' And I can't wait for it to be born. Have you thought of any names yet?"
"Not really. I was still stressing about whether or not it would have a father." Micayla admitted.
"Well, my boy-"
"Or girl."
"Or girl, will most definitely have a father." Draco said.
"We should go tell mom and dad the arrangement." Micayla said.
"Yeah, we should. The kitchen is this way." Draco led her to the kitchen, where Jezebel, Michael, Lucius and Narcissa stood, drinking from flutes of champagne.
"Father, you're here. Good. Uh, MickandIareengagedtobemarried."
"What?" all four parents asked.
Micayla rolled her eyes. "Draco and I are getting married." she said clearly and confidently.
The kitchen was crazy after that. Jezebel and Narcissa were all squeals and promptly burst into tears, while Michael and Lucius grinned at each other like it was their doing. " We have to have a party!" Narcissa exclaimed. "A huge ball, and all our friends are invited. Yes, and the theme will be fantasy and mythology. Maybe we can have it at Hogwarts in the great hall. That means ALL the students and ALL the teachers, but that's alright- the more the merrier!" Jezebel reached over and took Micayla by the arm, and pulled her between herself and Narcissa. We can have the party before you start to show, and the wedding after you've had the baby. Oh, tomorrow we'll go shopping for outfits. 'Cissa and I will do the invitations tonight. Oh, I'm so exited!"
"Mom? What do I do at school when I start to show?" Micayla asked.
"I've talked it over with Dumbledore. You have your own room near Madame Pomfrey's room, in case. At teacher will come in every evening to make sure that you don't fall behind in your studies."
"Oh."
"Oh! Show me the ring, darling!" Narcissa squealed.
Micayla proudly displayed the ring. Jezebel and Narcissa oohed and ahhed over the ring. "Draco, darling, this is lovely!" said Jezebel. Draco looked up at Micayla from his conversation with Michael and Lucius about how to be a good husband, and the importance of putting the toilet seat back down.
"Well, I had it specially made." Draco commented.
"But Draco, when? You haven't left the house since you got the letter." Narcissa said, confused.
"I had it before the letter, mother. I'd actually been planning to propose for a while now." Draco amended.
"Really?" Micayla asked.
"Yep." Draco grinned at her "but during the entire holiday you kept interrupting me."
"Oh. Well, I feel stupid." Micayla grinned right back at him.
"Well, Jezzie, its been a lovely night, but its very late and Draco and Micayla have their first day back tomorrow." Narcissa yawned.
"Oh, I'd quite forgotten about that. I'll write to Dumbledore tonight and arrange for him to announce the engagement at dinner, is that alright?" Jezebel asked Draco and Micayla.
"Yeah, I'm alright with it, what about you Draco?" Micayla asked.
"It's fine." Draco answered.
The six of them walked to the front door, Narcissa and Jezebel hugged and kissed, with many promises to 'do coffee' and Michael and Lucius shook hands.
Draco and Micayla kissed and Draco laughed out loud.
"What?" Micayla asked, confused.
"I was just thinking what Pansy will do when she finds out that I'm engaged to someone who isn't her."
Draco had told Micayla about Pansy. Micayla had found it hilarious. That night she had found it more that hilarious.
"Draco? Lets go, our carriage is here." Lucius called from around the corner.
"coming." Draco called back. He kissed Micayla back and smirked at her.
"see you tomorrow." He said.
"I love you." She said.
"I love you too." Draco whispered. He walked out to the carriage and waved from the window.
The carriage disappeared into the night, and Micayla sighed contentedly.
The day had finished infinitely better than it had started.
