I
chuckled and shook my head
"You always say that, Draco"
"Thats because you do" He said and grinned. He, being a gentleman and all, pulled the chair out and sat next to me. I felt odd, here were no more than 6 people in the table yet there were at lest 40 chairs. It felt odd having such a big house for two people. I could tell why Draco sometimes got this sad look when he talked about his family, at least to me. We were served in small portions foods I had never even heard of. But I still ate it and acted like I really liked it when I didnt.
"Would you like some dessert, Alexia?"
"No thank you, Mr. Malfoy"
"Please call me , Lucious "His cold
smirk made me feel a rush of bad shivers.
Now I know where Draco
got the smirk from.
"Very well then lets move on to the
living room, there is much we need to talk about" Narcissa said.
I stayed with Draco, I preferred Draco than my father. I sat down
on the fancy white couch with Draco, across from us was Narcissa and
my father and on the leather sofa was Mr. Malfoy with a glass of wine
in hand.
"Alexia, your father just gave us the good news
a week ago, about you wanting to marry Draco.."
I wanted to
say I agreed with it not I wanted to but I bit my lip and nodded my
head. I didnt want to upset him only god knows what the man can do,
he is after all a death eater as we all know.
"And I just
have to say youre perfect for my son, he really likes you, he has
told us that he wants to marry you as soon as possible"
I
covered my mouth to stop from choking and spoke. "If I may say"
"You may"
"I think I would like to get married when I turn 21 if thats ok?" I gave Draco a look. I wondered if he was going to be selfish or do something good.
"I agree" He replied and grabbed my hand, I squeezed it to thank him.
"Very well then. Its agreed, once we make a toast on this there is no going back He" looked at me straight in the eye when he said this and raised his glass. I took mine and clinked glasses with him among with everyone else.
"Agreed"
My father said and gave me a small smile.
I tried my best to smile
but somehow the image of Oliver appeared in my head. I have to stop
thinking about you
"Looks like its all planned, huh?" I
nodded and opened the door to the room I would be staying in. It was
probably as big as a quidditch field.
"Yeah" I replied.
"I got you something, to make it official and
all, you dont have to wear it if you dont want to I just thought youd
like it"
I smiled as he took out a small box, I knew what it
was: a ring. He opened it the ring was beautiful with a lion and a
snake over each other, a ruby at the center and the letters D.M and
A.S on the band of the ring. It truly was beautiful and very, trust
me when I say very, expensive.
"Its beautiful" He put it on and it fit perfectly.
"I dont know what to say" I said quietly, I really didnt know what to say part of me wanted him to take it back but I couldnt do that to him, not when he was smiling happily.
"You dont have to say anything" He replied and kissed my cheek Good night
"Good night" I shut the door and leaned against the wall then in an instant I was falling to my knees, with my hands on my face and crying silently.
"What are they like?" Stacie asked and waited patiently for Harry, Hermione and Ron to appear. We were waiting for them to step inside the common room. We were excited to see them.
"Well, theyre nice" I said and looked at the ring.
"That ring is beautiful, I bet is worth more than my whole house and car and everything else I own"
"Draco gave it to me, were getting married when I turn 21" I said informing her.
Well, at least youll be a good age, who knows maybe by then youll be in love with him"
"Maybe" I replied and stood up when I saw Hermione's head.
"Hermione" I said and hugged her, then Ron and finally Harry.
"Its
so good to have you back" I said and smiled, I really was happy
to see them, especially Hermione she knows how to make sense of
things and gives good advice, unlike Stacie.
After telling us
about their break, Rons was as I expected funny, we had dinner and
then headed back to the common room, I didnt see Oliver during
dinner.
"You know what really sucks?"
"What?" I said in a sleepy tone, I was really sleepy.
"Yeah" I replied and turned then I closed my eyes and didnt open them until the next morning.
"I was wondering if you would come to the game you know, cheer for me" Draco asked during dinner.
"Sure" I replied and smiled, I was really aware of Pansy glaring draggers at me.
"That be great, Im hoping we'll win" He replied coolly. He was treating me like a good friend. I liked it, I felt like I was getting to know him in a different level. He was down to earth and cool now, which was odd since just last night we had set up the date to our wedding.
"Hey, you wanna come with me, theres something Id like to show you" I nodded again and waved at Harry and Stacie who were acting like a new married couple.
"So, what did you want to show me?" I asked hugging myself since it was pretty cold out. We were walking through the forest with only Dracos wand as a light. He looked really good in the dark of the night if I might add.
"Well, you cant tell anyone but I have this secret place that I come to every time and I thought youd like it" I was beginning to realize that I had never been here before. The trees seemed wider and older.
"I found this
place one night during my first year" I smiled at him as he took
my hand
" Watch your step" I nodded while stepping over
a thick branch that had fallen.
"Oh, wow" I said
with my eyes wide open. The place I was standing on was in fact the
most beautiful place ever. Here we were in the dark of the night in a
garden like place with a unicorn not far away from us.
"He's
beautiful" I said and walked next to Malfoy who smiled.
"He is, isnt he? Shh... dont disturb him" I couldnt help but think how weird it was that a guy like Draco would be standing before me acting like the sweetest guy instead of the Slytherin jerk he is known as.
"That was awesome, Im really glad you decided to share it with me" I said as Draco and I sat down in front of the quidditch pitch with our knees close to our chests.
"I knew youd like it, I always wanted to share it with someone, and I just knew youd be the perfect person" I smiled uncomfortably as Draco took my hand.
"Ally?" I looked at him his eyes shining at me.
"Yeah?"
"Can I kiss
you?" I didnt even think about it because the fact that he had
asked was enough for me to get soft on him.
"Ok" I
replied quietly and he started leaning in. His soft lips pressed
against mine.
"Sorry if Im interrupting anything but I
think you two should be up in your dormitories sleeping?" I
looked up and broke away from Dracos soft lips to see Oliver standing
there. For the first time in a long time I couldnt read his
expression. He didnt look jealous, or mad, or anything. It was like
he wasnt really feeling or seeing anything.
"Yeah, sorry
professor" I said standing up with my heart in my hand. He knew
it so well, he knew he was crushing my heart right there and then
just by standing there without showing any love for me.
"Come on, Ally, Ill walk you to your dormitory "Draco said. I nodded and looked one last time at Oliver. He didnt do anything he just stood there looking at me while I walked away holding Dracos hand.
