Sari and Nathan were in the ballroom, sitting at one of the marble tables. Sari was constantly fidgiting with her fingers and it was getting on Nathan's last nerve. "Calm down already damnit. You and your fingers are pissing me off" nathan said, "What are you nervous about?" Sari took a deep breath. "Well, dad said that one of his friends are coming with his son" she said.
Nathan shrugged "Yeah so." "So...Dad said that his friend's name is Tristin Treep." Nathen's face was screwed up in confusion, "I still don't get it." Sari rolled her eyes. "Tristin Treep is Alexander Treep's father. So that means that Alexander will be here!" Nathan laughed. Sari glared. She saw her mother coming down the stairs and to the main hall where the front door was.
Moments later, Hermione returned talking to a tall man with straight brown hair. And next to him was a shorter boy. Same handsome face structure and same straight brown hair. Alexander looked around the ballroom in awe. Sari touched her hair and looked at Nathan. "Do I look okay? Is my dress straight?" Nathan looked at her like she was out of her mind. "One: your hair is fine, two: your dress is puffier than a poodle's tail and three: Alexander Treep isn't much of a looker so what's the point."
Sari ignored him as she stood up and went over to her mother. "Mom. Where's dad" Sari asked. She didn't really want to look for Draco but she needed to say something. "Oh, uh...I'm not sure. But I'd like to greet our guests. Tristin Treep and his son Alexander." Sari said hello to Tristin and stared at Alexander. "Hey, I know you" Alexander said. "You do" Sari said, hiding her excitment. "Yeah, you're...Nathan's sister right." Sari frowned. Well, that was disappointing.
"Yeah. And My name is Sari." Alexander nodded. "Alex! Alex, wait up" yelled a voice. Sari looked down the hall and saw long black hair swaying. Katie Chang was running in high heeled shoes to catch up with Alexander. She was wearing a black,knee length dress with pink flowers designed on the side. "Hi katie" Alex said dreamily. The adults had already left the kids to talk so they were probably on the other side of the ballroom.
"Oh hi er..." Katie said to Sari. "Sari. My name is Sari. I'm Draco Malfoy and hermione Granger's daughter." The two second years nodded their heads. "Cool. So Katie, you wanna dance" Alexander asked nervously. "But it's a slow song" Katie pointed out. Alexander nodded. "I know." Katie smiled and took Alexander's hand. Alex took Katie to the dance floor and started dancing. All of this was painfull to watch for Sari. And he did it right in front of her face.
She didn't know that her mother, father and half brother was watching her every move from different parts of the ballroom. Tears trickled down Sari's face and she ran up the stairs. Draco and Hermione ran after her and Nathan made his way to Alexander and Katie.
Hermione knocked on Sari's door. "Baby? Sari, please open the door" she tried. Sari still didn't unlock the door. "Does she need time to calm down? She never liked a guy before, what do I do?" Draco took Hermione's hand. "Don't worry. Let her calm herself down. She'll be fi-" Draco cut himself off. He had just realised that he and Hermione left Nathan downstairs. Where his sister ran up to her room heart broken because of a Treep. "Oh boy" he said.
Hermione realised this too. She let go of Draco's hand and the two raced down the stairs. But they were too late. Nathan had already put Alexander into a headlock. Draco went over to his son and grabbed his waist. "Get off Nathan. I said off!" "How can you tell me to leave this asshole alone! Didn't you see what he did to Sar?" Draco rolled his eyes. "You immature first year, get off of me" yelled Alexander. Soon after, Nathen did get off of Alexander. "Nathen you know better than to lay your hands on anyone" Draco scolded. He bent down to his son's ear. "You should always use your wand."
Nathen smirked at that. "Father, you know why I had to hurt him. I was defending Sari!" "I don't need defending!" Nathen, Draco, Hermione and Alexander looked over to the ballroom entrance. Sari has a tear stained face and messy hair. She slowly walked to her half-brother. "I don't need your help. I never did. I handled myself before I knew you were my brother, before I hated you, before I KNEW YOU! If I took care of myself then, I could take care of myself now." Nathen looked at her feet. Hermione gripped onto Draco's arm.
Katie was looking at Alexander's neck as he spoke to his father. "Malfoy" said Tristin, "I believe that my son, his guest and I should leave. Next time, invite us over when either your son isn't here or when he has a stay jacket and a mussle." Draco grew angered. He was so angry he did exactly what Nathen did. He took hold of Tristin and put him in a headlock. Alexander looked at Sari. "Er..." Hermione, even though she was trying to separate Draco, she was also looking at her daughter with interest. "Alex, I'm so sorry" Sari said. "Sorry?" Katie cut in. "Your brother could've killed Alex and you're saying Sorry? I think not! Come on Alexander."
Alex looked apologetically at Sari as his crush pulled him away. Then, Tristin passed Sari with a very pink neck. Sari ran a hand through her hair and went back upstairs. "Sari, Im sorry" Nathen called from the foot of the stairs. Sari looked over her shoulder. "Yeah, so am I." She continued to go up the stairs and disappeared behind her door.
"Draco, you just proved to me that old habits never die. Even if the habits are around 5-7 years old!" Draco stretched his arms. "It's not my fault. If Treep kept his big ass mouth shut, that wouldn't have happened." Hermione sighed. "Draco, we have to do something about Sari. She's not gonna go back to Hogwarts after what happened." Draco knew Hermione was right. "You got any ideas?"
