Chapter 2: Your Embrace

"Draco?" Chris said, she grabbed her packages and ran after Draco saying goodbye to them. Walking down the alley looking everywhere for Draco she found him in a small stationary shop looking at some notebooks.

"Draco what's wrong?" Chris asked quietly.

"Nothing. Chris nothing's wrong." Draco said not even looking at her.

"Draco Malfoy, you can't lie to me. Don't try now." Chris said firmly.

"What do you want me to say Chris? That it didn't bother me to see you hug the Boy Wonder? Especially for something I gave to you? You act like you don't even remember." Draco ground out.

"You think I don't remember! I never take it off Draco; like I told you the day you gave it to me. Why do you think I was so happy to now that somebody found it? I feel vulnerable without it." Chris said her eyes downcast. Looking up she saw Draco was finally looking at her. "Please Draco, don't get mad. I can't stand you being mad at me."

"I could never stay mad at you Chris." Draco said and cupped her face. "Never." He then started lowering his head.

"What are you doing?" Chris whispered breathlessly.

"I'm going to kiss you." Draco said just before their lips touched. It was a nice, sweet kiss, and Draco couldn't take it, he put more pressure on Chris' lips. One arm was wrapped around her waist the other weaving through her hair. Chris had her arms wrapped around her neck trying to get closer to him. Draco's tongue pushed against Chris' lips begging for entrance, which she granted. After a few moments of kissing Draco and Chris came up for air. Both slightly panting, Draco pressed his forehead to hers.

"I've been wanting to do that all day." Draco said, taking in her thoroughly snogged look, her lips were slightly swollen and her hair was very messy.

"Well I'm glad you did." Chris smiled up at him. Chris started untangling herself from Draco and took a good look around the shop. "What were you doing here Draco?"

"Well I was planning on getting something for you." Draco said bouncing on the balls of his feet.

"You didn't have to do that. What were you going to buy me?" Chris asked eagerly.

"I'm not saying it's supposed to be a surprise." Draco said shaking his head at Chris' eagerness. "Go to the pet shop and I'll meet you there. You'll get your present later." Draco said, kissed her on the cheek and pushed her in the direction of the door.

"I better get my present." Chris said just before she left the shop. She headed down the street to the Magical Megenarie. Once inside she went to the cats. There was a beautiful one that was smaller than usual and had disproportionate ears and had a small tuff at the end of its tail, like lion. It was kneazle that had white fur with black spots.

Chris bent over to pick it up and gathered it up in her arms; it gave a small meow and gave her a lick.

"She seems to like you miss. A very rare find with kneazles, especially that one, never really liked anybody that so much of came near her." Said the clerk. "Would you like to buy her?"

"I dunno if I should." Chris answered hesitantly. "I already have a horse and owl to take care of."

"Miss you should, she's been here an awfully long time." The clerk told her.

"Okay, I'll take her." Chris relented.

"Great choice Miss. May I ask what are you going to name her?" The clerk asked ringing her up.

"I dunno, Athena I think." Chris said, and looked at the small animal in her hands and said, "Athena, what do you think?" It just meowed in replied.

"Athena it is." Chris said pocketing her change. "Thank you." Just as she was turning the door opened and in came Harry Potter.

"Hey, Christine what are you doing here?" Harry asked walking up to her.

"Waiting for Draco." Chris replied nonchalantly.

Harry just ignored what she said and reached out to pet Athena, which he ended up pulling his hand back so he wouldn't have it bit.

"Seems like she doesn't like you." Chris commented.

"It is an excellent judge of character then." Draco drawled walking up to them. "What are you doing here Potter?"

"I was just talking to Christine, seeing as you had ditched her."

"Wrong Potter, but I thank you for keeping my girlfriend company while I bought her something." Draco smirked at Harry's look of rage at knowing Chris was with Draco.

"You're- you're with him?" Harry asked in shock and filled rage.

"I thought it was obvious." Draco commented, wrapping an arm around Chris' waist.

"I thought you were hanging out with Malfoy because you were made to, but apparently I was wrong and you're just his little toy." Harry said his voice filled with malice. Chris' jaw fell open and was about to hit Harry but was beat by Draco who punched him directly in the nose. Draco heard a satisfying crunch and hissed at Harry's hunched form "NEVER say that about Chris ever again or you will be in worse pain than you have ever imagined." Draco hissed then steered Chris out of the store.

A few paces away from the shop they ran into Ron and Hermione who were undoubtedly searching for Harry.

"If you're looking Potter you better check in the pet shop, he found something very smashing." Chris laughed at Ron and Hermione's puzzled expressions.

Draco just kept walking, slightly smirking. Chris looked over at him and asked "What's with the smirk?"

"Nothing." He replied but then continued seeing her eyebrow raised. "It's just seeing you, its good to have you here."

"Awww, Draco that's so sweet." Chris said, Draco just looked away his cheeks slightly pink. "Are we leaving soon?" Chris asked after awhile.

"Yeah, if you want." Draco said. Chris nodded. In a few moments they had reached the Leaky Cauldron and flooed back to Chris' house into an empty foyer.

"Hello?" Chris called out. A maid came rushing to greet them.

"Miss, your mother says you are to get dressed for tonight's dinner party. Mr. Malfoy, Mrs. Malfoy has already left and expects you at the mannor as you soon as you arrived. Miss do you want me to take those packages." Said the maid.

"Yes, please take them to my room." Chris said handing the maid the packages. The maid took them and left the room.

"So I'll see you tonight?" Chris asked.

"Yeah most probably." Draco said.

"So I'll see you later." Chris said turning around and heading for the stairs. Draco reached out and grabbed her arm and spun her around.

"Not so fast. I forgot one thing." Draco smirked then bent down and kissed her. "I'll see you tonight." Draco said then he strode out the door leaving Chris in the middle of the room.

Draco had just entered his house when a house-elf scurried up to him and told him Master Malfoy was waiting for him in his study. Draco headed up to his room dropped his stuff and headed down stairs towards his father study. He reached the door and knocked. He only had to wait a few seconds until he heard his father's voice say come in.

The room had dark brown walls and wood floors. The walls were hard to see since almost all wall space was occupied by bookcases. The wall to Draco's left was basically made of a huge roaring fireplace. In front of him was his father's desk with two red high backed chairs in front of it, Lucius sitting on a black one. Lucius was bent over the desk looking at some parchments scattered across the desk.

"You wanted to see me father?" Draco asked, standing behind a chair facing his father's desk where Lucius was sitting.

"Sit Draco." Lucius said waiving to the chair he was standing behind. Draco sat. "What is this I've heard of your and Christine Livingston's outing today in Diagon Alley?"

"I took her shopping for her school supplies." Draco shrugged.

"Was snogging her in the middle of a store filled with customers on the booklist, Draco?" Lucius asked.

"No father."

"Do not forget Draco that at end of this year you will marry the Parkinson girl." Lucius said.

"I haven't forgotten father."

"Very well, Draco, now go and get dressed. We shall be leaving shortly." Lucius said turning back to the parchments on his desk. Draco turned around and left the room. Draco then headed back up the stairs and to his room, when he go there he just flopped onto the bed looking up at his ceiling. After a few minutes, he stood up, sighed, and walked over to his wardrobe. He pulled out a black button up shirt and a pair of black slacks.

He quickly got dressed and went over to his desk and started sorting through his packages. Until he found what he had bought for Christine, it was a dark red journal. He knew Chris was a very good songwriter and singer, though she would never sing in front of him, and he also knew that she would need a new notebook to write in pretty soon. Draco put on his coat and head down the stairs, putting the notebook into one of the inside pockets.

Chris just walked out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around her body. She walked to her bed were she had lain out the dress she was going to wear. It was a black strapless dress with silver embroidery on the bodice and had a flowy skirt that ended at her knees.

She started putting on the dress and was trying to do up the back when someone knocked at her door.

"Who is it?" Chris asked, holding the back of the dress together.

"Draco, can I come in?" Draco's muffled voice replied.

"Sure you can help me with something." Chris said and walked to the door and opened it.

"Than- wow." Draco said his jaw dropping. Chris put her hand underneath his chin and closed his jaw.

"Once you stop gawking could you please help me do up the back?" Chris said turning around still holding the back together. Draco grabbed the back and started lacing it up, his knuckles grazing her bare back. When Draco was done he still kept his hands on her shoulders, slightly massaging them. Suddenly they jumped apart when someone cleared their throat.

There was a man leaning against the doorframe, he had olive skin and wavy brown hair, his brandy eyes filled with mirth. "Am I interrupting something?" he asked.

"No Antonio, you're not interrupting anything. When did you get here?" Chris asked rushing over to him and hugging him.

"Just got in. Mom told to get up here and see why you were taking so long. The guest are arriving. Nice to see you Draco."

"Like wise Antonio." Draco nodded.

"Tell mom I'll be downstairs in a few." Chris said kissing Antonio on the cheek and turned around and walked over to her desk and started putting on her jewelry. Draco was standing back looking at Chris then felt something furry walking around his legs. He looked down to see Athena purring around his legs. He bent over and started petting her.

"Seems like she likes you Draco." Chris said putting on her heels.

"Of course she does. Who doesn't?" Draco smirked.

"I could name a few." Chris smiled at him through the mirror while pilling all her hair on her head a couple tendrils falling and framing her face.

"Don't you start." Draco said putting Athena on the bed and pulling out the journal from his pocket. "Here Chris." He said handing her the journal. Chris took it then looked up at Draco.

"Thank you Draco." She said placing the journal on the desk and stood up to hug him.

"Your welcome Chris. Now come on before your mother gets angry." Draco said, untangling himself from her and looped his arm with hers lead her from the room.

Once they got downstairs they were greeted with a semi-ful foyer. Once they reached the floor Chris was swept up by her mother to greet all the guest and do some rounds. Her mother showed her off to almost all the guests, telling them that she was starting Hogwarts this year and would either be a Slytherin or a Ravenclaw. Six shrimp puffs and two champagne glasses later, Chris was finally released.

Nodding politely at the guest Chris made her way to the dinning room to see if she could find Draco. No such luck. Then walked through the foyer again, only to be detained by Narcissa Malfoy who was talking to Violet Parkinson.

"Christine have you seen Draco anywhere?" Narcissa asked.

"I was looking for him, I can't find him either. When I do I'll tell him you're looking for him." Chris nodded. Narcissa nodded and turned back to talking to Mrs. Parkinson. Chris looked around the room and saw a platinum head of hair enter the library. Chris started walking towards the library doors, edging around all the guest 'till she reached the double doors.

The library was floor to wall mahogany bookcases filled with books. To the left side of the room was a fireplace. There were big, comfy leather couches all through out the room. The library also had a second floor with even more books.

"Christine." Someone said from the second floor. She looked up to see Draco and a guy almost his same height maybe only half an inch shorter than him. He had black hair and light green eyes. He was wearing a blue button up shirt and black trousers. He rushed down the spiralling stairs and engulfed Chris in a hug.

"Blaise!" Chris squeaked. Blaise put her down and spun her around. Once Blaise was done making her dizzy Chris heard a snort behind her, Chris spun around to come face to face with Pansy Parkinson. She had bottle bleach blonde hair, brown eyes and a plastic nose. She was wearing a shocking pink dress with a plunging neckline that almost reached her belly button.

"Well if it isn't Christine Livingston nice dress, it is so last season." Pansy said with a completely serious face.

Christine's lips were twitching trying to contain her laughter, she looked around and saw Blaise covering his mouth and Draco bent over, shoulders shaking. Chris couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing, Draco and Blaise following the same. Pansy was looking around trying to find some back up. Millicent Bulstrode decided to step up and said "And your shoes are hideous."

That sent Chris and Blaise into another fit, Draco this time maintaining his composure. Chris calmed down enough to say, "You are kidding me right? How the hell did you get into Slytherin. That has to be feeblest insult I have ever heard in my life and believe me I've heard quite a few."

"Draco did you hear what she said to me!" Pansy cried out indignantly.

"I didn't hear anything Pansy. You must've imagined it." Draco smirked.

Pansy just huffed and left the room followed by Millicent. Chris just waved bye at their retreating forms and then plopped onto one of th leather couches in the room.

"So Chris I hear your joining us at Hogwarts this term." Blaise said, sitting on the opposite couch. Chris just grinned.

"This should prove to be an interesting year indeed." Draco commented and sat next to Chris. "Chris has already proved that she will be a valuable asset to Slytherin, it seemed like the famous Harry Potter fell for our Ms Livingston." Draco smirked and Blaise's jaw fell.

"Yeah well it all went to hell when you punched him in the nose. The boy already had scars you just had give him more." Chris commented.

"Wait, you what? Good going mate, but why did you punch him?" Blaise asked.

"He insulted Chris." Draco said simply, shrugging. Chris shook her head and Blaise gave him a look. Draco was saved from replying when the doors opened and in came Cassandra Livingston, Christine's older sister. She was 5'7", had tan skin, stunning green eyes and dark brown hair. She was wearing a blue halter floor length dress.

"Mom wants to see you Christine. What did you do now?" Cassandra sneered. Chris ignored her comment and asked her why.

"Most probably because you insulted on of the guests. Really do you have any manners at all?"

"More than you." Chris said nonchalantly.

"Why you little-" Cassandra started but was cut off when Antonio stepped into the room.

"Ah Cassandra I have been looking for you everywhere. There's someone I want you to meet." Antonio said, wrapping his arm around Cassandra and leading her out of the room. He looked over his shoulder and winked at Chris.

"Thank god for Antonio. I'm sure my mom doesn't want to see me. She dislikes Pansy Parkinson as much as I do. And if she is going to reprimand me for 'insulting' Parkinson she is not going to do it while the house is filled with guests." Chris said. "This was only a ploy for my sister to get a rise from me."

"I have a feeling this is going to be a long party." Draco said, standing up and leaving the room.

"Where is he going?" Chris asked Blaise.

"I dunno." Blaise shrugged. "So when did you and Draco hook up?"

"We did not hook up!" Chris cried out indignantly.

"Riiiight and Parkinson doesn't look like a pug." Blaise said. "Don't lie to me Chris."

"Okay I dunno. He's up, he's down, he could like me today and gets tired of me tomorrow. I dunno what to tell you Blaise. Sure we kissed but nothing was made official. So he told Harry I'm his girlfriend, that means nothing when he's trying to provoke the one guy he hates, he knew Harry had an... attraction to me and used it to his benefit." Chris ranted pacing in front of the couch. Blaise grabbed her wrist so she would stop pacing.

"Chris calm down you're getting yourself all worked up." Blaise said, pulling her to sit down next to him. "Also I had to stop you before you wore a whole in the rug." Blaise smiled. After a few minutes of them both sitting on the couch Draco walked back in with a bottle of vodka and a shot glass.

"Okay so seeing as this is going to be a most boring night indeed, I brought something to make it better." Draco said. "I come bearing gifts." He smirked and raised the bottle

Chris stood up from the couch and walked over to the fire place and pushed the paneling above it. It opened up and inside held several bottles filled with alcohol.

"If you were looking for something to drink, you should've told me." She said shuffling the bottles around. "My dad doesn't think I know this is here, but I clearly do. Here they are." She closed the panel and came back with two more shot glasses in hand. Chris took the bottle and the other shot glass from Draco's fingers and set them on the coffee table. She knelt in front of the table, took of the top from the bottle and poured into the shot glasses. She gave one to Blaise and the other to Draco.

"Cheers." Chris said raising the glass, Draco and Blaise mimicking her actions.
