Chapter 5
Unwanted Appointment
The Blonde Slytherin woke up from the sound of the blaring alarm clock. He turned it off and laid back down blinking sleepily.
"Mr. Malfoy wake up, your plane leaves in two hours and we have to go," a woman's voice called up the stairs.
He groaned and rolled off the bed and onto the floor where he sat on the ground cross-legged willing himself to move. Once he did, he walked to his dresser and packed his favorite shirts, pants, boxers and beaters. He put on a pair of loose black jeans and a sliver silk button up.
He grabbed his bag and headed downstairs into the foyer.
"Are you ready?"
"I guess. Do I really have to go live with some muggle family in America?"
"That's what Dumbledore said, and it's for your safety so none of the remaining death eaters come back to kill you."
Draco shrugged and walked into the car and sat in the back. He put on his headphones and blared his Metallica. He stretched out across the seat and folded his arms across his chest and closed his eyes.
Thirty minutes later they arrived at the London Airport and Draco got out of the car still listening to his CD player. His caretakers checked in his bags and led him to the waiting area.
"Well, we'll see you August 30th, and here," the woman said handing him a cell phone," This is a cell phone, you can call us whenever you need us," She said giving him a hug and walking away.
Draco had seen a cell phone before but he wasn't entirely sure on how to use it. He messed around with the buttons and jumped when it started vibrating. He looked at it and it vibrated again. He quickly looked around before pressing the green talk button and putting it to his ear.
"Hello?" He said uncertainly.
"Hello Mr. Malfoy," An aged voice said.
"Dumbledore? Why are you calling me?" Draco asked.
"I wanted to tell you about where and with whom you will be going to, and the rules. You will be staying with a muggle family in New York City and they are aware that you're a wizard. Their names are Jacob and Abby Rizzard, and you are to be on your best behavior. You will not use any magic at all. The death eaters are still looking for you because of what happened last year, and you are to keep a low profile. You will be coming back August 30th and you will be staying at a hotel near Kings Cross."
Draco had listened to what Dumbledore had said and kept a mental note of everything.
"Okay, got it," Draco said still a little unsure.
"Well, happy flight. Enjoy your vacation see you September 1st," and he hung up.
Draco pressed the red end button then he pressed the power button and the phone turned off. He stuck the phone in his cargo pocket and sighed closing his eyes.
Soon his plane started boarding and Draco stood and got onto the plane.
He'd never been on a plane before and he sat down by the window and looked out of it. Several minutes later Draco was clinging to the arms of the chair in fright.
"First time on a plane, dear?" An old woman said gently touching his hand.
Draco nodded," And I don't like it!" he said unclenching his eyes and looked at the kind woman.
She smiled at him calming him down.
The plane finally leveled off and Draco looked down and saw the city below him. The woman and Draco talked until she fell asleep.
Draco reached into his bag and took out a CD case and from within it he pulled out a purple mix CD. In magic marker the words Draco and Raquel Mix were written in fine writing. He put it into his CD player returning Metallica back to the case and he closed his eyes relaxing as the song "All I know of love" by Josh Groban started to play. He remembered what had happened two summers ago when he went to Florida and met an American girl while there and they spent the whole summer together on the beach, when one day she met a surfer and left Draco for him instead, breaking Draco's heart.
He soon fell asleep listening to his and Raquel's song, leaning against the window.
Finally the plane stated to descend and Draco woke up and looked out the window at the large city below.
The plane landed and pulled up to the loading docks and the passengers started to get off the plane.
Draco grabbed his carry-on and got off the plane also. There was a man and woman waiting for someone looking at the newly arrived travelers. They spotted Draco and excitedly waved him over. He walked towards them and a pretty blonde with chestnut brown eyes pulled him into a hug. The man was tall and skinny, tanned and had brown hair blue eyes, and he also hugged Draco.
"Hello Draco, my name is Abby and this is my husband Jacob. Welcome to New York," she said kindly.
"Nice to meet you," he said smiling.
"Lets go get your luggage," Jacob said as they walked downstairs to the carrousel and grabbed Draco's other bag. They walked outside and into the parking ramp and found a black BMW, which Draco assumed was theirs as they unlocked the door and got in. Draco sat down in the back smiling.
The summer passed by quickly until it was a couple days before Draco was to leave. Draco felt at home with Abby and Jacob and he didn't want to leave, but things weren't going so well as shouting could be heard from the living room.
"Why can't I just get them fixed with magic!?" Draco said in frustration.
"Because Dumbledore doesn't want you hurt! Look at your teeth Hun; you have huge gaps and an overbite. Don't you want perfect teeth?" Abby said.
"But, Abby. I don't want to go to the..the...orto..what ever you call that torture chamber."
"The orthodontist? It's not a torture chamber and you really don't have a choice, because I already set up an appointment for you."
Draco groaned as Abby half dragged half carried him to the car.
They arrived there about fifteen minutes later and stepped inside the building.
"We have an appointment for Draco Malfoy," "Alright, could you just fill out these papers and have a seat over there," the assistant said.
Abby and Draco sat down and Abby began to fill out the papers.
An hour later Draco stepped out of the orthodontist building, eyes watering in pain.
They got back into the car not talking both knowing Draco was in too much pain to talk.
That night Abby made Spaghetti O's for Draco so he wouldn't have to chew anything.
Draco went to bed early that night, having to wake up early the next morning because it was his Good-Bye Party because tomorrow was the 29th of August.
He woke up at nine the next morning and got out of his bed. He walked over to his closet and opened the doors. He found a pair of white khakis he liked, a skintight blue t-shirt and a black zip up hoodie with a red dragon on the back. He took a shower and got dressed, then walked down into the kitchen to find Abby and Jacob already awake.
"Good morning," Jacob said to Draco reading the paper.
"G'mornin' Jake," Draco said putting a couple pieces of French Toast onto his plate and drowning them in maple syrup and sprinkling powdered sugar over the ocean of syrup.
"Are you all packed up Draco?" Abby asked.
Draco nodded and swallowed, "Yeah, I packed last night."
Abby smiled, "You want to go shopping today before your party?"
Draco smiled and nodded again.
They were out all day shopping while Jacob and his friends set up the house for the party that would take place later that night. The friends that Draco had made in the two months that he had lived with the Rizzards were also invited.
Abby and Draco came back at 4:00 and Draco went upstairs to get changed and put on his new swimming trunks that Abby had bought him for the party tonight.
The bell rang and Draco walked downstairs.
