AN: Do not hesitate to review!
ComplicatedDarknesS0103: I totally agree with you. A fighter always means trouble. Especially in Elena's case.
The woman came in and immediately fixed her gaze on Elena and rushed to her. She took Elena's hands and started talking very fast.
"I am finally meeting you! I'm so glad. I mean I always wanted to have a daughter and now I will have one. I'm just so happy that I won't be the only woman here anymore. Oh! By the way I'm Narcissa but you can call me mom or mother if you want. After all I'm your soon-to-be mother-in-law and I …"
"Narcissa!" coldly cut Lucius. "Calm down. You're probably scaring her. Just look at her. She looks scared of you. Don't worry she isn't always like that. She is usually more composed and calmer." With that Narcissa went to her husband and kissed his cheek. "That's more like it." added Lucius after she calmed down.
"Why are you still up? Lucius I can't believe that you didn't propose them to sit down. What kind of host are you!" reprimanded Narcissa ignoring her husband's death glare. "Why don't you two sit down? I promise that those couches are conformable."
After that Lucius Malfoy escorted his wife to an armchair. Draco offered his arm to Elena but she deliberately refused to take it and went to sit on the couch alone. The men sat down at their turn. Voldemort in an armchair, Lucius close to his wife and Draco as close as possible to Elena while the blond girl tried to put as much distance between them as possible.
"That won't do. You, Elena, are supposed to take Draco's arm and let him escort you. That's the proper thing to do. Now get up and go back to where you were and let Draco escort you." she said with a haughty air just the Dark Lord opened his mouth to manifest his dissatisfaction. "Go on. NOW!" she added glaring at her future daughter-in-law.
Sighing Elena got up and did as she was told as the men smirked at her. The girl then understood that when Narcissa say something you have to do it if you ever wanted to have her off your back.
"So" started Narcissa when Elena sat down. "When is the wedding?"
"In a week dear Narcissa" answered Lord Voldemort.
"A week! I have to plan a wedding in a week! That's impossible! There are so many things that need to be done, need to be planned." she complained. "Well I guest I must started right now then. So" she said turning to Elena "who do you want for you maid in honor?"
"Uh! My best friend of course. Anna Rimatova. Oh and I want her family to be invited the wedding also." answered the blond girl remembering her promise to her friend.
"Tylla would like to say something to master about that. If master allows Tylla to talk of course." suddenly said the small house elf.
"You are allowed to talk Tylla. What do you have to say about my niece's choice of maid in honor?" questioned Voldemort with all of his attention on the elf.
"Tylla does not think that it is a good idea master Tom because whenever mistress Elena and miss Anna are together they always get in trouble or they do not act as proper ladies should master Tom." explained the skinny house elf to everyone.
"Really" said Voldemort while looking at his niece with insistence.
"That's not true." Replied Elena aggressively.
"What about the time you both when to a muggle shop just to go and have a look at a guy? What about the many letters that the school sent about your misbehavior? Oh and master Tom I brought the letters with me so you could have a look at them if you want. And what about yesterday when you both told me that you were going shopping and didn't come home with anything. I know that you didn't go shopping but I don't have any proof. And what about…" continued the elf before being told to shut up by her master.
"I think we got the idea Tylla. Go back in your corner now." ordered Voldemort. "So Elena. What do you have to say about that?" he questioned while giving her a look that dare her to lie. When she said nothing and looked down he continued. "Well I believe that a punishment is in order. Lucius, Narcissa you are both used to punish a disobeying child so what do you suggest? Draco you can also give your opinion for she is after all your mate."
"Well first of all I want her to resign from her duel team. I won't have a wife working or dueling." immediately said Draco Malfoy while looking at his future wife with a pleased look.
"Don't even bother to argue with that Elena. You are getting off that team. That's final. You know as well as I do that you shouldn't have enrolled yourself in it." said her uncle.
"Tom I think that forcing her to spend at least three hours a day with Draco would force her to get to know him and to know exactly what he wants from his wife." Smirked Lucius knowing that it was the last thing that she wanted to do. "I am sure that Draco wouldn't mind spending time with her." He added when he saw the pissed off look that Elena was giving him.
"That's a good start. But it is not enough. She deserves something bigger." told Voldemort to everyone.
"Well since she seems to have forgotten how a proper lady should act maybe I could made her remember everything while teaching her everything again. That will also give us the time to plan the wedding and get to know each other." proposed Narcissa with a huge smile. "That way when she marries Draco she will already be acting like she should."
The men grinned. They all though that this was good enough. "Perfect" they replied.
"We can even start today. I mean I have always wanted to teach everything to someone and now I get to do it…" started Narcissa.
"Mother I do not think that it is the best thing to do for now. I will prefer to show my mate our manor. She will after all live here so it is best if she knows her way around." said Draco obviously wanting to be alone for a while with his fiancée.
Elena looked at the people in the room in horror. The last thing she wanted was to get the talk about etiquette and how proper ladies should act again. She had heard it enough time at school to last her for a life time. She sighed knowing that life was taking her somewhere she didn't want to go.
