Calla, Crabbe, Goyle and Draco landed on their feet. Calla wobbled a
little, and Draco put his arm around her to steady her. She smiled at him.
They had been transported to the front gate of the Malfoy estate. And estate it was. Calla had never seen a house with so much land around it. She looked through the gates and saw that the house, well, mansion, was huge. It had trees and neatly cut grass...Lots of space around it...Even the fields and stuff around the walls belonged to the Malfoys. She was in awe and wasnt hiding it very well.
"Wow." she breathed, looking around.
The gates were immense, as were the white walls that expanded from them. Draco walked over to the gate, muttered something, and the gates dissolved. Callas eyes widened and Draco beckoned them to walk with him. As they walked, Calla taking her time in purpose so she could look at all the creatures and different plants that were around, she noted that, although her house was huge, you could fit it easily in Dracos about 5 times. (I gotta marry into this family, she thought).
"Mother says that you can stay in the Guest Wing if you like. Or in my wing of the house."
"You have wings?" Calla asked, looking at the huge mansion that expanded before them.
"Yes. My friends usually stay in my wing of the house. And as I consider you my friend, Id like you to stay with me." he said with a wink.
"Id like that too." Calla said, smiling. "Are there any..Rules I should know about?"
"Nobody goes in my parents wings of the house. Not even me." he told her, with an arched eyebrow. "Thats it really."
"Good. Im glad they dont get offended by the term Mudblood. Or we really would have a problem." she laughed.
"Oh, and you should probably know that sometimes the rooms move."
"Really? Like at Hogwarts?" Calla asked, impressed.
"Its one of many security measures on the house."
"What could you possibly be doing that is so bad?" Calla taunted him.
"Wouldnt you like to know."
"Yep." Calla said, stopping as they came to the doors of the house.
Draco waited for a few seconds before 2 house elves pulled open the great doors.
"Youll have to show me around. I could get lost." Calla stepped inside the great entrance hall that had many staircases and doors leading off from it. "You know...Rooms..Bedrooms..." she said, regaining her cool. All her life, she had been brought up to act icily but politely, never show your emotions, hate Mudbloods and Saint Potter. Calla knew why both sets of parents had agreed for her to stay here. She hadnt been told, but she could guess.
"The doors on the right lead off to the House Elves quaters. Kitchens, etc." Draco said, pointing his hand. "The stairs behind you all go upto my parents quaters. The rest of the house youre free to roam."
"Draco." said Crabbe, "We have to go."
"Well you know where the Floo Powder is dont you?" Draco said, giving him an odd look.
"Thanks for carrying my stuff." Calla said, waving as they stepped into the fireplace.
Draco frowned, pushing his ice-blonde hair from his face. "Where are those goddam house-elves?" he said, obviously annoyed.
Calla looked around.
"Sheer! Glory! GET IN HERE!" Draco shouted, and Calla thought they were odd names for House elves.
Two house elves scuttled in. Glory, the female one, at once rushed over to Calla. "Mistress Calla! What can I do for you! Anything, anything at all! Glory is only happy when serving someone!" and Glory grabbed Callas hand and started swinging it.
Calla looked taken aback, and tried to shake Glory off but the creature wouldnt let go. Draco walked over and grabbed Glory, pulling her away from Calla. "BAD HOUSE ELF! GO PUNISH YOURSELF!"
"No, no, Draco its alright..." Calla began, but Draco was angry and Glory had already ran off crying.
"Im sorry about that, she gets so over-excited..Shes really quite annoying."
Draco turned to Sheer, the male house elf. He cringed, and Calla, despite her upbringing, felt a little...Strange.
"Call my mother to me." he said, moving to stand next to Calla.
"Master Draco, Mistress Narcissa sends her apologises." - Draco rolled his eyes - "Mistress couldnt be here because of a buisness meeting. Mistress says welcome to our house Mistress Calla, and that Mistress Narcissa will be home late tonight, so youre welcome to dine without her. Master Lucius says he will be back in time for Dinner tonight."
"Fine." Draco said, waving his hand to dismiss the house elf. Dammit, he thought. He wanted to tell his mother that, so far, he liked what he saw in Calla. This would please his mother. Draco hadnt liked any of the other girls his mother had in mind for him. Not that his mother had actually said it, but he could just tell. This time, he thought his mother had good taste.
"Wait." Draco said. "Take Callas luggage upto my wing of the house. Put it in the bedroom opposite mine. I hope the room is perfect." he said menacingly.
"Yes Master Draco." Sheer said, and scuttled off into the kitchen.
"Would you like a tour?" Draco said, smiling.
"Sure." Calla said, dropping the oh-so-polite pretense that exhausted her when all she wanted to do was get on that body.
Draco walked over to the right hand corner of the room, and stopped in front of one of the bigger staircases. He made a gesture for Calla to walk up the stairs first, which she did, but not before brushing past Draco, touching his body.
As she walked up the stairs, she made sure she put a little wiggle in her step. Draco noticed and could almost see all the way up her dress..He had to gain control of Mr Happy as he walked up the stairs.
They reached the top and Calla was again, impressed. It was like a house inside a house. Stepping through a door, they walked across a runway ( AN : here, it would be a good idea to imagine Ushers house. I just watched it and he has the most amazin house) and Calla saw that they were walking over the most amazing lounge she'd ever seen. Cushions, sofas...Even a hot tub!!
As she reached about halfway, she saw there was some stairs going down to it. To her left was a little more walkway and a door, the same to her left, and the same in front of her.
"Pretty impressive." Calla said, as Draco caught up with her. He put his hands on her waist.
"The room on the right is yours. The one on the left is mine. The bathrooms ahead of you." Draco said, feeling her shudder slightly as he traced his hands up and down her sides, settling them on her waist.
"Im going to go and take a shower." she said, stepping forward and removing his hands from her waist. She was pleased that he liked her in that way, she wasnt sure if he did, but at the same a little annoyed. Mostly pleased. She smiled to herself as she walked across the walkway and through the bathroom door.
