Yeah, whatever."
"Look Draco, I really wouldn't say things I didn't mean, and any way, I didn't think you'd take it so hard." she leaned forward and gave him a hug, and then kissed him very gently on the head. He looked a bit surprised at this and was about to say something when Kalian cane crawling over.
"Me want play!" he said, tugging at their arms. Summer laughed and tickled him, making him squeal and wriggle. Draco didn't look to happy.
"Do we have to look after him? I can get a house elf to look after him, then we can just stay here b y ourselves." he said crossly. Summer raised an eyebrow at him and then let go of Kalian.
"You've never looked after him have you?" she asked, ignoring the lat comment he had made.
"Um, no I haven't." he admitted, wondering why she had given him a strange look.
"So, are you gonna...go out with me?" he asked hopefully, wanting to get the conversation away from his cousin.
"well, I guess." Summer laughed. He smiled and then gave her another hug, feeling like he was on top of the world.

The 1st of September grew steadily nearer as the weeks flew by. Eventually it was the 31st of August. The Malfoy household was surprisingly hectic, house elves busied themselves cleaning and packing, death eaters apparated in, last minute school things were collected, and eventually Voldemort himself arrived in order to hold the last meeting for summer and Draco. They were both ordered to stay out of the way as it was sorted however, which suited them fine.
They had decided to walk around the grounds of the mansion, which were of course gigantic. The courtyard held vegetable patch inbetween large greenhouses, a seating area amongst plants, and surrounded by pointed, pruned trees was a rectangle swimming pool full of aqua blue water. Behind all this was the rest of the grounds: stables and a paddock, a small lake. This was all surrounded, as the whole place, a forest of pine trees.
Draco took Summers hand as they walked down the grey stone path, under the trellis grown over by black roses and on to the rest of the ground. It was about two o clock, and the sun made every thing scorching hot and hazy around the edges.
"Where we going?" Summer asked "It's so hot out here!"
"Go down to the lake if you like. Its cooler down there." Draco replied. They walked down to the lakes side and sat down in the shade of a weeping willow.
"At least this one doesn't hit." Summer grinned, flicking a shiny green beetle off of her midnight blue robes.
"Wouldn't be so sure." Draco replied.. he picked up a handful and started attacking her with them.
"Hey, no fair!"She exclaimed, grabbing some too. When he realized he was loosing, however, Draco grabbed her around the waist and picked her up, taking her towards the lake.
"Hey! What you…no, not in there!" she shrieked, trying to escape. Draco did a mock evil laugh and threw her in. the water was cool and refreshing as it closed over her head, and she came up spluttering and laughing.
"You just wait!" she yelled, wading toward him. Draco laughed and tried to dodge, but was too late. He tumbled head first after her, and came back up spitting out the water.
"Yuk, that tastes disgusting." He told her, smoothing his hair down. Summer laughed and shoved him over again, giving him a small kiss as he went back under.
"You evil little…!" he began, but was cut short by a voice from behind them.
"What are you two doing?" Lucius asked, smiling. "You'd better hurry up and come inside, the meetings going to start any minute, and I think you two, err need to dry off." He said. "come on, in you come."
An hour and a half later, they sat in the dark dining room again, the meeting nearly finished.
"So you will be keeping us informed, and of course, when will be the best time to carry out our little plan." Voldemort concluded, a very evil smile on his face. Summer nodded. "Well, we must now await our moment of glory, of which I hope to be mot satisfying."

I'm very much hoping this will work, if you have noticed, there are a lot of pages for just 1 chapter. This would be due to the fact I have been doing it on Publisher, as word was not working, and for some reason even if you did 3 pages, only the 1st would be displayed. Word is now working and hopefully I can put my story on that thanks very much my reviewers!!
