Chapter 11

Draco pulled the key out of his pocket and unlocked the door. As it swung open, they found a house elf standing there. She bowed, beckoning them in.

Abbey picked up her skirts and knelt down, smiling at the elf.

"What's your name?" she asked.

"Jingles, ma'am," the elf squeaked, "I am Wrinkles' cousin."

"Well hello, Jingles," Abbey said, patting the elf's back, "Would you mind showing us around?"

"Absolutely, ma'am!" Jingles replied, getting excited. She was glad that her new mistress was kind. But she knew better than to expect that from Master Draco.

As Abbey and Draco toured the mansion, Abbey was grateful that it was more colorful than Malfoy Mansion. Everything was already bought and unpacked for them…the furniture, the curtains, everything. The only thing Abbey was severely disappointed about was the discovery that some of the portraits of Draco's relatives were brought there. Some of Abbey's relatives' portraits were brought too, so that was a slight perk.

Jingles left their bedroom for last, and that's where she left them for the night. It was a cavernous bedroom, with a huge king-sized four-poster bed in the middle of the room. On the right wall was the fireplace, and on the left side of the room was the bathroom, along with the dressers, and the walk-in closet. All of their things were unpacked and ready for them.

The first thing Abbey did was get out of her wedding gown and take a long, hot bubble bath.

When she was done, she changed into her pajamas in the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She brushed her teeth for a long time, remembering her and Draco's kiss. It kept popping into her mind, and she brushed her teeth so long and hard that she finally stopped when her gums began to bleed.

After splashing cool water on her face and drying it off with a towel, she finally emerged from the bathroom, and found Draco already asleep in bed. The covers went up to his navel, and Abbey learned that he only slept in boxers.

I can't believe I have to sleep in the same bed as him, Abbey thought bitterly as she crawled into bed, pulling the dark gray covers up to her chin. I hope he doesn't snore, she added to herself as she grabbed her wand and gave it a little flick, making thecandlesfloating around the ceilinggo out.

Turning back over, she gazed at Draco sleeping soundly on his back in the moonlight, one arm behind his head, the other across his stomach. Abbey realized that he had quite a handsome face when it wasn't twisted in a sneer or a smirk. Her eyes involuntarily moved over his body, and she noted how toned it was. The moonlight only emphasized the milky paleness of his skin.

Listen to me! Abbey exclaimed to herself. That tranquility charm must still be lurking. Well, at least he doesn't snore. And with that she turned over away from Draco angrily, shutting her eyes tightly.


Draco's eyes popped open…he had been having a bad dream. For a moment he forgot where he was, but it quickly dawned on him.

Turning over, only wanting to go back to sleep, his eyes moved to Abbey lying next to him, on her stomach. Her arms were crossed underneath the pillow, and her hair was tied back in a loose ponytail. She was wearing a spaghetti-strap black tank top, and dark purple shorts. The covers only came to her upper-thighs, and Draco saw thatshehad a pleasantly curvy figure.As Draco lay there, watching her sleep, he realized how pretty she actually was, when she wasn't frowning. The moonlight shone on her silky hair and made her skin glow.

What the hell am I thinking! Draco thought. It's too late at night to be thinking like that. Well, at least she doesn't snore. He then rolled over, giving an angry sigh and closing his eyes.


Well, at least there is some good news...neither of them snore. lol! Hope you liked it!
