Finding Cinderella

Risa Moon

Disclaimer: I own nothing! Nothing owns me, let's leave it at that.

Summary: WANTED: A real beauty, with long hair, pale skin with shoes size 6, aka Cinderella. He found her, they did it, and all that was left of her was her scent and a shoe. He wants her back, even if he doesn't know her, and that's what he'll get, because Malfoys always get what they want. Of course that's what he thinks.

Chapter 4 – Arrangements and Smug Smirks

"Narcissa, what a surprise to see you?" greeted a well dress man, who beer neither amusement nor surprise.

"I think we both know why we're here Richard," she snapped coldly.

"My dear, what seems to be the problem?" he said with fake warmness.

"The problem? The problem is that your daughter has embarrassed my family and lies like a frog whose tongue licks the presses arse!" she said in a calm demeanor.

"No need for harse words my dear. I don't see the problem. This engagement was bound to happen. It'd be a business decision. Like it always is," Mr. Wellington took a bottle of wine and poured it into two cups and handed Mrs. Malfoy one.

"Red wine Rome 185 B.C.," Mr. Wellington said with a mesmerized tone, "Good wine."

"Don't change the subject Richard," Narcissa said with an annoyed voice.

"No one is changing anything. This was meant to be and I see no reason to change it."

"Of course you wouldn't. But there is something to change now that my son has posted that ridiculous column," not that Narcissa really agreed with the so called 'engagement'. It really only benefited the Wellington family. But if she didn't make an excuse it would also be bad for 'businesses.

"We could make arrangements on that," Mr. Wellington said after a thoughtful sip of wine.

"Arrangements?" she raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. If your son doesn't find that silly girl of hers in two months, the engagement will be arranged and set again. And this time, no interruptions," he said taking another sip.

Narcissa considered the cons and pros. "You got yourself an 'arrangement," with a clever fake smile and stood up to leave."

"Then you should start on the wedding," Mr. Wellington said with a satisfied voice, though you could hear his smug smile a mile away.

"Oh, that I will Richard, that I'll will," she exited the room with a dignified presence and a smirk of her own.

Ring ring

"Why did I have to go out and buy the bloody thing," Ginny murmured as she grabbed the cell phone that was next to the alarm clock.

"'ello?" came a voice from the other end of the phone.

"Whoisthis?" she murmured back into the phone. She wasn't going to swear at the phone without knowing who it was.

"Its Harry, did I wake you up?" he said with a not so concern voice: the big tease.

"Harry, ifugetwokenupthisearlyinthemorningafteraterribletiringnightandwitha

Majorhangoverandgetfiredatthesameday, you'll be in a load of bloody shit by noon," she murmured into the phone.

"Alright Ginny," did I forget to put in that she doesn't want to swear at an innocent stranger?

"You arse," Ginny could've sworn there was a hint of relief in his voice but quickly pushed at away, thinking she imagined it, and hang up on him. A nice smile formed on her lips knowing that Harry wouldn't have to give what she said a second thought.

But that's where she thought wrong, so very, very wrong.

"Hang over much?" Jess asked with a wicked grin on her face. A groan came as an answer.

"Out clubbing again?" Jess asked putting down the hot cup of tea.

Ginny flashed the brunette a glare and suddenly realizes that Jess could easily see that Ginny had a hangover. Ginny hadn't point out about Jess's new blond streak. But sadly, it made her ever more speechless. What was she suppose to say? She had a hangover. Thinking just wasn't an option. But it seemed that Jess read her mind.

"A simple: You look great Jess!" she mocked grabbing an aspirin from a cabinet next to her book case.

"Here," handing the aspirin to Ginny.

"You're a real life saver," Ginny said before gulping down the aspirin.

"Close enough. Here are the profiles of the girls who came to get an interview. You can check them out and tell me which one you think you should have interviewed and I'll set up an appointment."

Ginny looked through the folders and the form that was to be filled. No piece of information was spare. "What would I do without you?"

"Trust me you can't," she teased as she headed to the door.

"Remind me to give you a raise," Ginny said focusing at the profile she was holding.

"You already did," Jess said with a wink.

"Oh! Weasley! Yes she's the one in charge of the column. Is there anything wrong? I would think that your son would've gotten you permission before requesting his name be in the article," said Ms. Skeeter, lying through her perfectly fake teeth with her also fake smile.

"But if there's a problem we will immediately fire Ms. Weasley and she will never work for another newspaper, magazine, or newsletter ever again," there was no way the Rita Skeeter was going to take any part of the blame. What can she say? It's a dog eat dog world out there.

"Where is Ms. Weasley? I demand you take me to her office right now," Narcissa spoke without force and was looking quite cold. She wasn't born yesterday. If there was a big story Rita would always be involve, one way or another.

"Of course, this way," Rita opened the door and filed out and walked in front of Mrs. Malfoy with a smirk like she won the award of the most social witch in the Wizarding realm.

"Weasley," Rita said in a rough voice when she opened the door to a redhead whose attention was focused on the file she was working on. The hair color was practically the only thing the two women saw with the piles of folders in the way.

"What is it Rita? You do know that you're the one who wanted me to take this project. Can't you at least let me do this in peace, unless you want to do take responsibilities?" Ginny replied without looking up.

But if she did, she would've seen Rita Skeeter cringe when she felt Narcissa's glare that practically burned thought her.

"I have no more need of your assistant Ms. Skeeter," with that Rita exited the room without another word. She wasn't about to make the situation any worse.

Mrs. Malfoy then turned her attention to Ginny who looked up in shock.

What had she got herself in?
