Oliver
stood next to Stacie and watched as his soon to be bride waved.
You
lost your chance I said to myself and turned to look at Stacie, who
seemed to be really confused.
"Come on, lets go eat.
Harry should be here in a few days, 3 to be exact." I reminded
her and looked at Oliver.
He turned and walked away without saying
a word. And I know I was the one that told him not to talk to me but
damn it hurt to see him walk away from me.
"Yeah, I cant wait, Im going to tell him Im sorry for being such a snob"
"Good, because you really are" I said and swung my arm around her shoulder.
"So, what now?" Stacie asked and turned to look in the direction that Oliver was walking.
"Now its time for me to spend some time with my soon to be husband" I said and smiled.
"Really? Well it cant be that hard since Draco isnt bad looking at all, you know"
"True"
It wont be hard. Im going to try my best, I promise, Tracy, I promise.
"Alexia, can I talk to you for a second?" I nodded. What do you want now?
"I guess" I said and looked up at my father.
"I got a letter from Lucious Malfoy, he wants to meet you, which is why he requested we have dinner at his place tomorrow" I nodded again. I would finally get to meet Mr. Malfoy, not very exciting.
"Be ready to leave tomorrow morning, and bring a nice dress, Lucious is a very strict man" I can tell, look at the way hes raised his son.
"Ok, Snape" I said and turned to leave but he grabbed my elbow.
"Yes?" I said snatching my arm back from my fathers grip.
"Dont mention your grandfather" He said through gritted teeth.
"Ok "I said loudly and turned to leave.
"Good be ready tomorrow morning"He repeated as I walked away.
"Guess what? Im meeting Lucious Malfoy tomorrow" I said as I packed some clothes and the dress that my father had asked for. It was black with a lot of cleavage in the back.
"No way, that man sounds scary, that sucks for you"
"Can you imagine having to sit with two snobby men? I dont even want to think about how the conversations going to go like".
"I feel for you, Im glad I have to stay here, trust me Id rather stay here than go with you with those two" Stacie said and sighed
"Me too. I wanted to invite you but I dont want you to suffer" I said jokingly and picked up my stuff.
"I cant wait for Harry to come back" Stacie said and laid down on her bed.
"Yeah, I just want to sleep, thats all, maybe this whole meeting Lucious thing will turn out be a nightmare" I said and closed my eyes. I was really getting sleepy.
"Its not a nightmare, it's a livemare" Stacie said and we both fell asleep.
"My
father is going to kill me" I said as I brushed my teeth as
quick as possible.
"Well, if he did than you wouldnt have to
meet Lucious Malfoy" Stacie said as she stood watching
me.
"True, hey can you pass me those jeans?" She threw the jeans on my face making the toothbrush hit the roof of my mouth.
"Ow, watch it" I said and put on the jeans as I rinsed my mouth.
"I thought you said you were supposed to wear a dress?"
"Ill change there, I am not
wearing a dress while I use floo powder my dress will be ruined, I
dont think my father would be too happy about that"
"Do
you realize you spent your life thinking about others instead of
yourself?" She had a point. Now that I thought about it, it did
sound like thats all I ever did.
"Yeah, I wish I could be selfish like you." She frowned.
"I am not selfish" I pushed her out of the way and grabbed my suitcase.
"I gotta go, ok? See you tomorrow". I said and kissed her cheek and hugged her.
"Its about time, Alexia" My father snapped as I stepped inside the fireplace.
"I was sleeping "I said quickly and took a bunch of floo powder in my hands.
"Next time you should wake up early" I
rolled my eyes and said Malfoy Mansion Before I could hear my father
complain some more. Sometimes I wondered what my mom ever saw in him,
or how they even ended up together.
I stepped out of the fanciest
fireplace I had ever seen to look up at a man with long blonde/white
hair and eyes as cold as Dracos.
"Mr. Malfoy" I said a bit surprised. He looked just like Draco, it was easy to see where Draco got his looks from. A beautiful woman standing next to him with brown hair and green eyes smiled.
"You must be Alexia" I nodded and shook hands with her and then with Mr. Malfoy. He held my hand for longer than usual and studied me.
"Yes, you do look just like your mother" He said quietly to himself.
"Lucious" My father stepped and looked up at his "Friend".
"Mr. Malfoy, if you dont mind me asking, where is Draco?"
"He'll be down in a minute, hes getting ready" Narcissa said.
"Oh, ok "I replied stupidly. These people acted like robots not a family, even their smiles looked fake.
"Dinner will be ready in half
an hour" Lucius said looked my way.
"You may change
upstairs, if youd like "He said looked at my clothes.
"Thank
you" I said and smiled shyly.
Mr. Malfoy snapped his fingers
and in an instant a house elf appeared.
"This way my lady "I
nodded feeling odd that someone was doing what I usually did. How
could anyone just have an elf do everything for them? How boring is
that?
I changed into the dress and smiled. I didnt look so bad, I
almost felt pretty. I mean I hear it all the time but I dont really
like to think Im pretty, it just isnt me, Theres beauty beyond
looks.
I made my way down the beautiful wooden stairs to find
everyone lined up waiting for me. Draco, was smiling, he looked
pretty good. I smiled feeling like a princess, lucky for me I didnt
trip.
"You look beautiful" Draco whispered as we
walked arm in arm to the dining room.
I chuckled and shook my
head "You always say that, Draco"
"Thats because you do" He said and grinned. I walked along with him. I decided that sticking to him was a good idea, he seemed to be the only one I trusted.
