A/N: Chapter 12!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We had met my mother exactly where my father said and she had gotten a carriage to take us to Hogsmeade. When we got there we walked to a restaurant that looked like it would cost a fortune to eat there, but we walked in nonetheless. It was beautiful inside nothing I had ever seen could compare.

Apparently my parents had eaten here many times before because a waiter came to us right as we walked in. "Same table, I presume?" he asked with a bow.

"Yes, thank you, John." my mother said.

We walked to a table in the far back away from everyone else.

"Bring us our usual appetizers, John." my father said.

"Yes sir." the boy named John left.

"Now Marie is there anything you would lie to ask us?"

I thought for a moment. "Yes, in fact, there is. How come I couldn't have grown up with you? At least I wouldn't have had to put up with the ridicule because it wouldn't have been true, well it wasn't true but I didn't know that."

The waiter came back with our appetizers. "May I bring you something to drink?"

"Yes four red wines. Thank you John." my father said. "Now where were we. Aw… yes, you wanted to know why you couldn't grow up with us. Well it's fairly simple really, we didn't want you to grow up around magic because we figured that your powers would come in to quickly. So we sent you to live with some of our servant's relative's which were Mr. and Mrs. Granger. But we admit we shouldn't have done that because we can see that you don't trust us. And we don't blame you. Aw yes. Thank you John." John had come back with our wine and I guess our food, apparently my parents had ordered before hand. So we started eating but then a question popped in my head.

"What are my powers and how come I glow when my emotions are out of control?" Both my parents looked up at each other and then to me.

"Well you know that you can be anywhere you want without a wand or without apparating. You should be able to read minds, but that may take a while for you to accomplish, you can do anything just by thinking which is wonderful because no one will be expecting anything, you can talk telepathically, and there are many things that you can do that we can't. But we don't know what they are and neither will you until they come. Which is why you will be staying with Mr. Malfoy and his family during Christmas. Don't worry we will be there too it's just our house is to far away." my father said.

"As for the glowing only the women in the Lee family do that, I guess because we are more in touch with our emotions. Don't worry you will only glow when your extremely emotional." my mother said. I nodded and continued eating; this time Draco asked my mother something.

"Why are we engaged anyways?"

Wait I thought he loved me, why is he asking this question. I thought.

"Simple because it was arranged before either of you were born. As for us staying in the Malfoy manor it was only planned recently since we live in France."

"So you mean during Christmas break I will still be practicing and learning but then what would be the point of having a break? Why don't I just stay at Hogwarts? I mean unless you have other stuff planned then I might as well not go." I looked down at my hand it was a purple color. I felt Draco's hand on my other hand I noticed the color slowly fade to blue and then back to normal.

"See you are already learning to control your emotions. And yes I knew you want a break from school and learning but don't worry you will still have plenty of fun." We went back to eating and when we had left the restaurant we went shopping.

"I understand that you have to plan a Halloween and Christmas Ball." my father said. Draco and I nodded.

"Well then how about a costume party for the Halloween ball and a rave for the Christmas ball." my mother put in.

"That sounds wonderful I was just thinking that." Then it dawned on me, my parents were always reading my mind when they were around. "I have another question. How come none of my old friends are my friends anymore?"

"Well I'm not sure, you would have to ask Dumbledore that. Now lets not worry about that right now we have some shopping to do." my mother said.

"What do you mean 'shopping', I don't need anything?" I said just as we walked into a costume shop.
