Lilly sat in her enormous room looking at her poster of Viktor Krum.

"Sure he's nothing to look at." She thought, "But he's amazing at Quidditch!! I can't wait to go see him!"

Just then a large, and the most beautiful white barn owl swooped into her room.

"Hello Mek! Been out hunting have you?" Lilly said laughing noticing the large and clearly dead rat in his talons.

Mek replied happily with a booming "WHOOT!"

"Ha ha you silly bird! Guess what? Father has decided to let me go to the World Cup!! Isn't that wonderful! I can't wait! I mean of course I've seen lots of matches before but to be watching it with other normal people! The only down side is that I have to cover up! YUCK! But at least I can go right?" Lilly flopped backwards onto her king sized bed and sighed heavily.

In only a day she would be leaving for the World Cup and a few short days after that she would be going to Hogwarts. The first time she would come in contact with normal people her own age since her birth.

Lilly's mother had died when she was only a baby at the hands of Lord Voldemort. He had come after Venus Star, Lilly's mother, when she refused to marry him and told him she was happily married with a child. He was obviously furious and so he killed her vowing that he would come after her beloved child. Ever since then her father, Dalon, has kept an extremely close watch on her.

Lilly repeatedly told her father that Lord Voldemort was dead and wouldn't becoming back so there was no need to worry so much. After several years of pleading with her father to let her go to school like normal kids he finally agreed to let her go so long as it was Hogwarts.

Lilly, although very loved by her father, felt empty and alone. It was very difficult to be a teenage girl without a mother. She knew who was to blame for the loneliness and once she was old enough to understand what had happened to her mother she vowed revenge on Lord Voldemort.

Lilly sighed deeply again and lying on her bed in the warm summer afternoon sun she drifted off to sleep.

King Dalon was pacing back and forth in his private chambers awaiting an important but expected guest. For the past month his uneasiness had become over whelming. At first Lilly had just wanted to go to school like normal kids her age. And he knew that it was time she had some interaction with other teenagers besides the servants' children. But he was still very worried about Voldemort coming back and with the constant pushing from Lilly and the reassurance from Dumbledore he had agreed to let her go. But now the two secrets that he had hidden from her for so long were ready to expose themselves. He knew he had to tell Lilly at least one of them for now, the other he decided could wait, so long as Voldemort never returned to power.

There was a soft knock on the door that made King Dalon rush to it with the most exasperated manor. With a swift movement he thrust open the two large wooden doors.

"She has arrived your highness." said one of the many servants that worked in the palace.

"Good. Show her in." King Dalon replied with a heavy and relieved sigh.

From behind the servant stepped a tall skinny blonde woman who was quite attractive.

"Ah, Narcissa Malfoy! A pleasure to see you again." King Dalon said bowing and kissing her hand.

"Your highness." Narcissa said curtsying, "I am here once again to discuss the matter that Severus Snape brought up."

"So I assumed." he said to her the turning to the servant he said, "That will be all you are excused."

"Yes your highness." the servant said bowing out of the room and closing the doors as he left.

"Well then." Dalon began.

"I have decided that Severus's plan is the only way to save him. I am willing to go along with it. Are you?"

"Yes, of course I am Narcissa. Your son is a fine young man and is very suitable for my daughter. If we can save him from becoming like his father I do believe everything will work out."

"Good. But we must not tell Draco or Lucius. Lilly will have to know I guess. Also Lucius can not assume that you are making him a Lord for the sake of it being proper for my son and your daughter to marry and nothing else."

"I agree. I will say that he is a fine example of what a pure blood wizard should be and how much he has done for our world and that his work should be honored. That way he will think it's about him and not about Draco becoming a Lord in order to be eligible to marry my daughter."

"Good. Then it is an arranged marriage."

"So it seems."

"Here," Narcissa said handing him a small wooden box with a snake engraved on the lid, "Its my engagement ring. I wish Lilly to see it and if she pleases she may have it as hers once everything is arranged. But I will need it back once she has seen it so Lucius does not become suspicious."

"Of course Narcissa."

"Good. I must take my leave before it is noticed that I am missing."

"Good bye Narcissa and ... do be careful." Dalon said as he watched her leave him alone in the large empty room.
