A/N – I think I'll put Fight for Love on hold because I really can't be bothered to continue it yet. Everybody don't forget to check out Excessively Complex and Dracos-little-dark-angel's stuff! Oh by the way this is what happened in Kent and babysitting Amber.
Disclaimer - I own only the plot. And stuff not recognisable. I don't own Thorpe Bay, Southend, Shopland Hall, Rolo, Whitehorse, etc from last chapter.
'We'll take good care of her!' Narcissa assures me. I leave the house in my search for Igor Karkaroff. He will so dearly pay! About half an hour later I find him in the White Horse pub. It's typical for him to go in a pub. I drag him outside and into the car park. I put a silencing spell on him mixed with the cruticus curse. 10 minutes later I use the Imperius curse to make him break each one of his fingers.
' Do you understand not to be disloyal to me now?' I snarl. He nods, whimpering. 'Good.' I smash his head in and leave him in the darkest, loneliest corner, to die. This Mr – Nice – Guy act is purely for family. I turn and go back home. Amber is asleep and I follow her lead.
Chapter 9 – Babysitting and Home alone
Amber wasn't as sweet as she looked. As soon as she knew her father was out of earshot she started the act.
'Uncle Lucius Daddy said I could have cookies!'
'We don't have any cookies sweetheart,' Lucius kept replying. That was when she would throw a tantrum. She would run about the house screaming her head off. Lucius felt kind of sorry for the neighbours. Narcissa wasn't too worried. She actually discretely encouraged the child, as she knew Amber would exhaust herself and want to sleep.
She stayed hopeful for about half an hour. She was really starting to get a headache so she just summoned some stupid cookies. That kept Amber quiet. And then: I want ice cream…
'So er, should we er, do something while the Dark Lords away?' Mcnair said awkwardly a few hours after Tom had left. Everyone shrugged like they didn't care. He sighed. He wanted to have like a proper party but he wasn't stupid enough to suggest it. He was hoping somebody else would. Or they would interpret his hints.
'I think it's sweet, him going away with his daughter for the weekend,' Antonin stated.
'You do know his just gone to kill Igor and he doesn't trust us with her,' Avery replied.
'He trusts me!' Bella said indignity.
'Well Duh!' Wormtail said sarcastically. Everyone glared at him and Bella kicked him. 'Ow!'
There was a boring silence (because an author just forgot what she was going to type and has no idea what she shall write) 'So er… what shall we do?' Lucius said.
'Erm…' everybody thought aloud bar Malfoy.
'Listen to the radio?' sang Mcnair happily. Everyone muttered and nodded. He tuned into a station:
That I'm back in my flat on the road where the cars never stop going in the night
To a life where I can watch the sunset and take my time take all our time
I've still got sand in my shoes and I can't shake the thought of you
I shook it off
I know we said goodbye anything else would be confusing I wanna see you again and I wanna see you again
We text as we eat as we listen to the beat as we wait for the right way.
We text as we talk we're running as we walk 'cos we suffer little souls away.
We smoke as we choke as we drink another coke and we make a little present mine.
We skate as we date as we slowly suffocate,
We're running we're running we're running out of time
My life got cold it happened many years ago
When summer slipped away so chill now woe
You've got many years to go so take it day by day.
And long ago I lost my soul to some forgotten dream
How was I supposed to know it wasn't what it seemed.
And even though the last although has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeo's, in heroes anymore
We spend as we lend 'cos we're happy to pretend everything's gonna be ok
We shake as we wake never give until we take and we hate when we have to pay
We flop as we look forget about the hook and the trash that we left behind
We sink as we spin the ice is running thin
We're running we're running we're running out of time
My life got cold it happened many years ago
When summer slipped away. So chill now woe
You've got many years to go so take it day by day.
And long ago I lost my soul to some forgotten dream
How was I supposed to know it wasn't what it seemed.
And even though the last although has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeo's in heroes anymore.

'Oh god turn that crap off!' moaned Bella.
Cos obviously I'm out of my lea –
There was silence, 'ahh that's better' everybody sighed.
'What's the chance that Dido, Girls Aloud and Mcfly all play one after the over!' cried a miffed Mcnair.
Now it doesn't seem like anybody's having fun does it? Well luckily Amber's little 4 year old lungs had screamed all they could and Narcissa and Lucius finally had some peace. Amber was playing quietly in the front room, watched by the Malfoys. They were whispering to each other.
'I don't believe Draco was like that at four. Was he, darling?'
Narcissa shook her head, 'I suppose he was a bit stubborn though.
'She probably just takes after her father,' he replied rolling his eyes. Amber stumbled over to them to announce that she wanted to sleep. Gratefully, they tucked her into bed and curled up on the sofa. The fire was burning and it was really comfortable. (I just found out how to do some odd symbols: D © ø º etc) They dozed off and awoke to the dark lord clearing his throat.
'Amber's in her room, asleep my lord,' Lucius reported. He got up and whispered: 'sort it out?' Tom nodded and smiled.
'You to can go now, thank you.' The Malfoys disapparated
Tom followed Amber's lead and slept.
It was about twelve 'o' clock at the Riddle household in Kent on Monday and still nobody had said for a party. Most had gone and done their business as usual but Bella, Rodolphus, Walden and Lucius were in the kitchen looking glum and bored. Mcnair spoke up, 'How 'bouts spin the bottle?' Everyone nodded or muttered in agreement. He got a half-pint bottle of beer and downed it. He let out a vile belch and Bella gave him a dirty look.
He cleared the table to put the bottle on there. 'You have to kiss whomever it lands on and if it lands on and if it lands on them twice you have to properly kiss. Who wants to go first?' Rodolphus roughly grabbed the bottle and spun it hard. It landed on Lucius who quickly ran from the room causing Bella to shriek with laughter like a fox. Lucius came back and spun, it landed on Walden and he quickly kissed him on the cheek and rubbed his lips hard trying to forget what just happened. Walden spun it and landed on Rodolphus. He brushed his lips onto his cheek and moved back. Rodolphus probably enjoyed it – it may have been the closest contact to a human he'd been in a long time.
He spun the bottle and it landed on Bella who grudgingly allowed him to peck on her cheek. She spun praying it wouldn't land on him but of course she was a murderer who God obviously wouldn't grant favours to and it landed on her ex-husband. Because of the rules she had to snog him and she did shuddering just as the dark lord himself came in. He looked shocked but acted natural and went up to him bedroom with Amber. Bella ran up to follow them. But how could she tell if he would believe her?
A/N Muhahaha you won't find out until… next year sometime :P. Joking. Hope you enjoyed. Thanx for reviews etc.
