By Surprise

She had it all.
Money, looks, and everything else she ever wanted. She was spoiled beyond compare.
But, she was missing something from her life.
The one who was going to take her breathe away one day.
Except, how could someone if she was the shy one around the guys and the total bitch around everyone else?

;;

"Hey Lynn." said Andi as she stepped out of the fireplace after her belongings arrived.

"Oh, honey! You won't believe who'll be coming here for Christmas?" asked Lynn excited as she gave her a hug.

"Oh, I don't know...honey." mocked Andi. She smirked and backed away from her. "Who's coming mom?"

"The best friend you could ever ask for." she said smiling. Andi knew who it was, but wasn't too sure. She was then again a muggle and didn't understand their world and never would try to. How would she cope if she found out? What she would do was more like the question.

"B-But...how?" questioned Andi confused. Her mother shrugged and walked into the parlor room and sat upon her favorite chair.

"Easy. I sent her mail and asked her to come visit us and of course she accepted. Duh." she said matter-of-factly.

Alexandra sat uneasily in the chair across from the parlor room's entrance door and clenched her jaw thinking of what she should do about the sticky situation she was now placed in. Either it was Brittney or it was Draco, two of the best people in the world and she had to choose between one. Or...

"Er...mom?" asked Andi hesitantly.

"Yes?"

"My friend invited me to his house over the break and I don't think that I'll be around to be with Brittney." she said. "And I promised him that I would floo to his house after the Christmas "Dancing" was done." she added quickly.

Lynn looked at her with unconvinced eyes. "What's his name? Age? Year? Give me everything and anything." she said smiling. She loved her daughter's life, much more exciting than her's was. Andi shook her head and sighed.

"His name's Draco Malfoy, he's-"

"Wait. Lex did you just say Malfoy?"

"Mom! Don't call me Lex! I sound like a booooy." she whined.

"So, anyway Lex, a Malfoy invited you over to their manor for the break?" asked Lynn. Alexandra's face dropped and she stared at Lynn with monotone eyes. Her mother stared back at her, until her eyes hurt and she blinked.

"Hah. I win. And yes, a Malfoy invited me over. Why?"

"Just wondering. They aren't exactly the ones to invite people unless its official people to parties. For some odd reason, I was invited to one. I don't know why, but I told them that I couldn't come because of family related issues. Which in a way it was." said Lynn shrugging.

"Right. Well, I need to go. I have to go. I promised him that I would and you know very well that I don't break promises."

"Oh yes, indeed you dont. Well...maybe you could bring Britt along with you?"

"What'd you just say?" asked Andi astounded.

"Invite her. Draco wouldn't mind."

Standing up in a rut, she paced the room and looked out of the window. "You think he won't mind, Lynn? Bringing someone as filthy as her into the Malfoy household would make her and I, a defilement on God's green earth. You are out of your mind," she said looking at her mother. "to think that a Malfoy would let a muggle into their home. Must I repeat that?" she said smugly.

"Now you call her filthy, Alexandra? After all these years you've known her for so much more?" sneered Lynn.

"Yes, Lynn. She's a, God Rest My Soul," she said as she made the cross sign across her chest and continued. "mudblood. She would be killed as soon as she stepped foot into their home. Coming through the front door would create so many problems, firstly she can't floo, secondly she can't do anything that we can! You're such an idiot for thinking that I could invite her." she snarled.

Getting up from her chair, Lynn crossed the room over to her daughter. "You dare say that I don't know what I'm saying?"

Looking straight in her eyes, Andi spoke, "Are you deaf, dumb or blind? Or do you need a damn demonstration to filter out that fucking hellhole of a mind you call a brain?" she said pushing her face in front of hers. She had more dominance than her mother, even when she was the lower party of them both.

Taking out her wand, Andi thought and Lynn flew across the room and out into the living room hitting the fireplace. Her eyes blazed with such malevolence as she walked towards her.

"How dare you, mother. I can't believe that you don't understand that she cannot be there. Bring her there, she's minced fucking meat. If that doesn't get across to you, I don't know what can." she said as she passed her into the hallway where the stairway led to the second floor of the manor to her bedroom.

Draco,

My mother invited my best friend over for Christmas this year. She's coming all the way from New Zealand and I have to stay, mom is such a whore.

Andi

--

Andi,

Well, ditch her. I mean you are coming over here to meet the family and all, right?

Draco.

--

Draco...

If I were to tell you such information you would kill her. But I can't just ditch her, I haven't seen her in years. Plus, it's expensive for muggles to travel, with airplanes and whatnots. I don't want her to be here without me actually here. But I really want to stay with you over the week for Christmas and all that good hostess stuff.

Andi

--

Andi,

Airplanes? Matter of fact, I don't even want to know. But, love you are still going to do your dancing this year, too?

Draco.

--

Draco,

Oh of course! She's supposed to come with, if she comes early enough. I haven't done any shopping at all, its kind of bad. Um...if she does come, will you be okay with her around?

Andi

--

Andi,

I guess I wouldn't mind. I mean I would have to be around thousands of muggles, right? Exactly, so she'll just be like one in a thousand. Like a star. I do have one question for you about her though. Is she as hyperactive as you? Because if she bounces off the walls and has your attitude, I'll think she'll be just "fine".

Draco.

--

Draco,

Funny you should ask. Yeah, she's as hyper and jumpy as I am. She doesn't have an attitude...at all. She's very low key. Although when she gets angry she kicks at random things and breaks things. Anger Management Alert. So, word to the wise, don't get her mad or else you won't be producing any semen for the rest of your life. :)

Andi

Draco's eyes widened as he read this last letter than had just flown in through his window that same night. Putting his pillow over himself he wrote back to her. He couldn't imagine losing that to Alexandra's best muggle friend.

Andi,

If she gets me angry, she'll be dead. Sorry, but I can't even stand Know-It-All Granger. I'm coming over right now. Don't write back when you get this. My eagle'll just fly back when you get it. I love you. See you in a few.

Draco.

Staring back at the received letter, she gave a treat to Draco's eagle and it flew out of her window back to his manor. She sighed and laid down on her bed awaiting his arrival. Five minutes later she heard a scream come from downstairs and she rushed out of her room downstairs where her mother was now breathing hard.

"Mom?" asked Andi. She looked at her mother whose eyes were panic-stricken and was trying to catch her breath. Looking around she spotted Draco leaning against her door frame, smirking. Smiling slightly, she walked over to him and hit him in his arm.

"Draco! You scared the living daylights out of my mother!"

"Ow!" he said now clutching at his upper arm. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Rainey, I didn't mean to. It sort of amuses me at times."

Pinching him, Draco gave her mother another apology...a real one at that.

"Yeah, well...Draco, my mom." she said pointing at Lynn. "Mom, Draco." she said pointing back at him. Both shook hands and Andi grabbed Draco's hand as she wanted the introduction to end.

Dragging him upstairs, she passed her room on purpose and walked towards the library which was on the third floor of her home. Pushing the door open, she walked to the back of the room and pulled down a book from a high shelf.

"Here. If you look inside, you'll find pictures of Britt and I." she said handing him the book.

"So, that's her name? Britt?"

"Brittney, I'm the only one who can call her Britt."

"Good thing you told me that or else I would've been extracted of my own manhood."

She laughed and pointed at one picture that he was now looking at. "This one was on the beach, near Sydney, Australia. The board that she's holding is mine, I'm holding her's. Surfing and snowboarding was all we did most of the time. We just liked the sun and the sand the most, though. But, since we lived in New Zealand it was mostly snowboarding down the mountains and surfing whenever we flew over to Australia, which was almost every weekend. I miss it now that I think of it." she said softly.

Looking at her as she looked at the picture with sad eyes, he gently lifted her head and kissed her lips lightly.

"You'll see her soon and you'll remember it all. When's she coming anyway?"

"Tonight. Francis is going to pick her up."

"Who?"

"The butler. We can't send a house elf or else she'll vanquish it on sight."

"So, she doesn't know anything about you being a witch?" questioned Draco.

Shaking her head, she took the book from him and placed it back on the shelf. "I was thinking on telling her while she was here. Although, I don't know what she'll do, if she goes all beserk on me, I'll just erase her memory." she said shrugging.

"I have some advice for you. Don't tell her. Muggles don't understand."

"If Hermione Granger," her eyes narrowed and she continued on, "could, what would make you think that no other muggle wouldn't?"

"She's different. She's a witch and Brittney isn't. She'll think that you need help and in some strange sort of a way, I would too if I wasn't a wizard myself." he said with an apologetic, but yet an angered face.

Running her hands through her hair, she walked to the library door and opened it. "Maybe she will understand. I know she will." she said quietly and then exited the room closing the door behind her.

;;

"Francis, you should leave to go pick Brittney up. She's rather impatient you know. Take the stretch limo, the black one. You remember what she looks like right?"

"Do I look that dumb to you, Lynn?" asked Francis smirking. "I'll go and get her as soon as she comes off the plane. Hopefully, I'll find her quickly."

"Good. Oh and this is her cell phone number. Just in case anything happens and you do remember how everything goes with the flights, departure and arrivals and all that stupid stuff. Am I right? Please say yes." she said smiling as she handed him the piece of paper.

"...Nope."

"Ah! Francis, go and pick her up now. I'm going to hurt you." She laughed as he walked towards the black stretch limo, now in front of the manor and drove away from the circular gravel driveway to pick up the guest of the week.

Lynn walked around the premises of her home and checked for every itty bitty thing.

"Elodie. Put those red roses with the dark green hedges. I think it would look better. Just stick them in, but make them look beautiful. Now, s'il vous plait!" Elodie got to work instantaneously, working hard without using magic. Lynn disapproved of such things when it came to decorating, unless of course it were an emergency.

Lynn came across the front of the house and ordered two other maids to her. "Lace the staircase leading up to the house door with greenery. Put anything red in its depths, I don't care if its roses, lilies, do whatever you want. Just make it look good and agree, I don't want my house looking shabby. Thank you very much. When you are done, please come to me."

Strutting over to her stairs going down to her courtyard in front, she saw many of her maids, butlers and gardeners working hard in the cold weather, to make Christmas spectacular this year. She breathed out slowly and walked quickly back up to the house and called for Alexandra.

"Yessum-" said Andi as she was cut off by her mother's cry for her. "Oi. We'll discuss this later. C'mon."

Walking out of her room and down to her mother in the den she asked her what was wrong.

"Nothing. Francis has gone out to get Brittney, but I need help getting the tree up."

Conjuring up an evergreen tree, Alexandra looked at her mother and rolled her eyes. "Now was that so hard? Let me answer that for you. No."

"Yes, well. I wanted to actually do it traditionally."

"Wow woman. You are out of your mind lately. No wonder you've been soft. Why?"

"Brittney." she said as she fixed some pines on the tree to hold the decorations that would be placed upon it.

"Um. Okay. So, what are you going to do now?" she asked pointing at the tree.

"Wait until BB is here and have her decorate it with me."

"Can I help?" asked Draco as he walked over to them both. Andi pursed her lips and heaved slightly.

"Of course, Draco. But, we'll have to wait until Brittney gets here. Should be another hour or so, 'till she arrives. So while we wait, I'm off to make sure that everything is going good outside. You, Andi, decorate in here." she said as she walked out of the den.

"Ew. I'm too lazy. You do it." said Andi.

"Can I think about that for a second? How 'bout no?" he answered smirking down at her.

Pouting, Andi walked out of the den, passed many rooms and walked into the largely lit kitchen, where chefs were cooking up a storm. Sitting down by the island, she watched as Draco walked towards her.

"Hey, we'll do it together. We'll just conjure up some deco and she won't even know." he said as he sat down next to her. He wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her hair. "What do you say?"

Nodding she looked at him. "Sure. I'm up for it." She brushed lips with his and jumped off the chair and walked into the blank dining room. Sighing, she took out her wand and looked around for a moment. Thinking of what to do, Draco walked in and stood by her.

"I think I want rose bushes around. Mom likes roses, too much. I'm more of a lily person if you ask me." So conjuring up four rose bushes she pushed them over to the two doors in the vicinity. Two on each side.

"Hm. Maybe...maybe you should put rose centerpieces to fit along with the bushes?" asked Draco as two dozen rose centerpieces littered the center of the long rectangular table.

Smiling, she hugged Draco and kissed him firmly. "It's beautiful already." He kissed her back and she said, "I love you."

"I love you, too. You don't know how much I do." he said beaming. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he pulled her closer to him and kissed down her neck. Moaning slightly she backed away from him before they could get any further.

"We have more work to do, hon." she said hurriedly. Draco looked down hurt and helped with the rest of the dining hall's decorations.

Forty-five minutes had passed as Draco and Andi worked hard on getting the house into a beautiful state. Now, all they had to do was relax and wait. Resting her head on Draco's chest, he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer to him. Their breathing in perfect rhythmn, they waited quietly for the arrival of Brittney.

Thirty minutes later, car lights drove up in front of the gates of the manor. With Draco and Andi now sleeping they were fully unaware, until Lynn placed her hand on Andi's face gently. Andi's eyes opened slowly and looked up at her mother blurry eyed.

"She's here." whispered Lynn excitedly. Jumping up quickly and startling Draco, she pulled a sleepy Draco from off the couch and towards the door. Looking in the mirror, she quickly applied lipgloss and eyeliner and looked at Draco.

"Your hair, love. Your hair."

Running his hands through it, his face hoped for a look of approval. She nodded and smiled.

"I'm deathly excited. I think I might jump out of my clothes with all of the energy I have."

"Please, do." teased Draco from behind her. She looked up at him and opened the front door and rushed down the stairs towards the now pulled up black limo. Bouncing in place, she waited for Francis to open the door.

"Hurry up, France! I'm dying here." she said as she started to bite down on her knuckles. Francis opened the door to reveal a beautiful caucasian girl who was now hugging Andi tightly and crying.

"I missed you so much, Lexii." cried Brittney.

Sniffling in her shoulder she repeated the same. Letting go and wiping away tears, Andi spoke. "Good thing I'm wearing waterproof eyeliner or else I'd look like Frankenstein." Laughing, Brittney gave her another hug.

"C'mon. I want you to meet someone."

"Who is it?" asked Brittney wiping away her own tears.

Looking up the staircase, she looked at a young man who was sitting upon the stairs looking down.

"Is that who I should be meeting?" she questioned smiling.

"Wouldn't you believe it. Francis take her stuff up to her room, please. Thank you." Linking arms with Britt, she walked up the stairs towards Draco who was now looking at them both. Standing up as they reached him, Brittney extended her hand out to him smiling.

"Hello, I'm Brittney."

Draco nodded at her with darkened eyes. Britt, put her hand down by her side and looked up at the door. Andi took notice and poked him hard.

"Um. Well, this is quite awkward. Britt can you leave Draco and I alone for a moment, please?" asked Andi and Britt walked inside of the manor.

"Draco. Please don't do this to me right now." she pleaded as she took hold of his hands in hers. "Please?"

"Sweetheart, I'm not used to this. I don't know if I can do this." he said looking down worried. Gently lifting his head up, she pushed away a stray hair away from his face.

"Don't worry. Take small steps and I know you can. You're Draco Malfoy and I believe you. Good things happen when you just believe, y'know. Try...for me?"

Looking at the door and back at her, he breathed out heavily and nodded. "I'll try." Smiling at him, she kissed him.

"Thank you. This means so much to me."

"I know. Alright, shall we then?" he asked pointing at the now open door. Nodding they strolled inside the manor and met back up with Britt.

;;

"Lexon."

"Yes?"

"Um...Draco...right?"

"Yeah, that's his name. What about him?" asked Andi as she rummaged through her closet.

"Is he afraid of me or something? I mean we just met." asked Britt confused.

"No, he's wasn't sure what he should've done." she said lying partially. "But, he'll loosen up. Don't worry."

"Hm. Will he be staying here all week?" asked Britt hopefully.

"Maybe, if he can get his parents to let him stay. I was actually supposed to stay over at his home for the break after Christmas "dancing", but mom told me that you were coming today. She's such a tard."

"Well have him ask! I want him to stay and get to know him. He's gorgeous." said Britt dreamily.

Looking away from the closet, with a short white dress studded with silver gems now on the floor, her eyes darkened and narrowed slightly. "I know he is." she said stiffly picking up her dress. "But you can't get to know him, he's hard to get through to."

"I can try."

"No...you can't." said Andi deeply.

"And why not?"

"I'd hurt you and I hate doing that."

"Woah. Lexii, I won't kill him. I swear." said Britt a bit wide-eyed.

"You'll kill me."

"How?"

"Draco's my boyfriend. That's how."

Putting her hand over her mouth trying not to look rude, she gasped loudly and jumped off the bed and ran downstairs to where Draco was now helping taste test some food.

"Erm...Draco? Lexon wants you upstairs."

Looking at her utterly confused and a bit disgusted he asked, "Who?"

"Alexandra. That's who. Pronto kid." she said as she ran back upstairs. Draco looked at one of the chefs and shook his head in agreement to whatever he was thinking as well. Sighing he trudged upstairs to her room.

Knocking on her door, he let himself in as Andi was taking off a shirt in front of her mirror. Raising an eyebrow, he smirked as she covered herself quickly.

"Babe, I would've seen them soon enough." he said as he shut the door and approached her. Turning her around towards him, he kissed her firmly and took her shirt away from her and pulled her body towards him. Moaning in the kiss, his hands roamed her body and she pulled at his belt buckle. Pulling away slightly, Andi whispered, "Draco. I'm scared."

Fear was in her eyes and Draco swooped down on her lips and pressed his against hers. "Don't be. I'd never hurt you. I love you more than anything. I will never pressure you to do anything that you don't want to do." he said quietly. She pulled his shirt and kissed him back hard, crying in the kiss. Confused, Draco pulled gently away from her and wiped her tears.

"What's wrong?" he said rubbing her arm.

"You don't know how much I want to be with you. It just hurts too much, that I can't do it. I don't know when I can. I'm sorry."

"No." he said as he hugged her. "Don't you ever be sorry. Ever."

"Lexon, where's your-" asked Britt abruptly as she walked out of Andi's bathroom. Draco reached over for Andi's shirt quickly and handed it back to her and looked back at Britt calmly. Standing in front of her, he waited for her to put her shirt on, as Britt's jaw was now down to the floor.

"You might want to close your mouth before a spider crawls in there."

It was if Draco said the worst word in the whole world as Andi and Britt both became rigid with fear.

"What?" said both Andi and Britt.

"Spider crawl in mouth?" Both girls screamed and ran into each others' arms.

"Draco!"

He was confused and took a step forward and they took a step back in unison.

"Don't you take another step, mister...or...or else I'll throw this towel at you!" exclaimed Britt as she put the towel in front of her scared.

"Andi, what's going on?"

"You said sp-sp-sp..." Her eyes widened and darkened and she jumped on her bed and skidded under the covers. Britt was smart enough to do the same.

"I said spider!" asked Draco. Both girls screamed louder and he knew what was wrong.

"Girls, are you both arachnaphobic?"

Both girls heads' popped up from under the covers and nodded at the same time and ducked back under out of sight. Smirking, Draco walked over to Andi's side and made an impersonation of a spider crawling up her thigh. Her body became rigid and was shaking with fear. He could hear whispers of 'There's one on me!' and 'Oh. My. God. I'm going to pass out.' and lots of whimpering. Laughing inwardly, he jumped on Andi and she screamed from under the covers and Britt did the same.

Dying of laughter, Draco fell off of her bed and gasped for breath. He couldn't believe what had just happened and it was the most hilarious thing to ever happen all day long. Jumping from underneath the bedcovers, Andi and Britt jumped on top of him and tickled him like mad.

"Oh! Look who has the laugh now!" laughed Andi. Brittney got off him as to not upset her best friend and retrieved a pillow. Andi saw her and she nodded at her and got off him. Britt struck Draco with a blow of pillows and he yelped for Andi to help.

"May I think about that for a second? How 'bout a no!" she said and hit him with even more pillows. "Like your phrase used against you!" she said laughing. Grabbing her pillow, he pulled her down on top of him and growled softly.

"It fits."

"Oh come on. No kissing, please and thanks." Both looked at Britt and smirked devilishly and made out in front of her just for saying such a thing out loud. Shaking her head, she went into the bathroom and got a cup of water and dumped it on them.

"Heyyy!" screamed both Andi and Draco. Britt ran back to the bathroom and got a bigger cup and filled it with more water and ran back out and splashed more on them. Both Draco and Andi were now soaking wet from their waist up. Scowling at Britt, Andi got off Draco and helped him up.

"You know what? Leave my room so that Draco and I can get dried off. Alone." she said walking over to her door and opening it for her. "Plus, we needed to talk anyway. I'll see you in five." she added as she closed the door after Britt had left the room befuddled.

Sighing and taking out her wand from her dresser she spoke a drying spell and both Draco and her were drier than before.

"What's with her?" sneered Draco. "Now you know why I don't like muggles."

"Draco, you have to understand. She thinks you're like her, she isn't. Just get to used to her even if she is a muggle, she doesn't bite."

"Yeah, well she can throw water and that's bad enough." snarled Draco.

"I would throw water on you, if you were wearing a white shirt that is. Muscle would make it ever so interesting." she teased as she licked her lips seductively. Smirking he looked her up and down slowly and back up at her face.

"You shouldn't be so dirty," he said approaching her and pushing her against her dresser. "It makes me feel like a sex god." he said rubbing up against her. She gave a soft moan and looked at him and smiled.

"You are a sex god, Draco." she said softly. "But your hormones need to rear or else I might shag you." Raising an eyebrow he pulled her closer to him and rubbed harder against her.

"My hormones are out of control, Andi. What are we to do?" he said sarcastically and smirking down at her aroused face. Leaning down and kissing her he placed his hands on her sides, but she drove him gently away from her.

"We can't. I...can't." she said looking down sorrowfully. His quizzical face faded and told her that everything was okay.

"Let's go downstairs and decorate that Christmas tree of yours. Tomorrow we go Christmas Dancing." he said extending his hand. She looked at his hand and then back at him. He gave her a small smile and tilted his head to the side a bit confused. "What's wrong?"

Andi shook her head and grabbed his hand. "Nothing. I can't give you what you want and sometimes I feel like you deserve much more than me."

Holding her close to his side, he spoke. "Andi stop thinking that. You give me everything I want and everything that I've ever wanted. I don't want your body for you to show me that you love me and that I love you, I just want you and I have you. That's all I could ever want." Looking down at her she looked up at him and gave a small smile.

"I love you, Draco Malfoy." she said as she kissed him fervently. Kissing her back he pulled away and touched her face.

"You don't know how much I love you, Alexandra Rainey."

Both beaming they left the room and decorated the tree with Lynn and Britt. A mixture of smore making and throwing of marshmellows were enjoyed as the night went on. It was if nothing in the world was going to tear them apart and deep in their hearts they knew that their love for each other was much stronger than anyone would ever think.

AN: Wicked long, but I might have made some blues. Sorry. :(
R&R pretty please and thank you. Oh and yeah, I used Australian slang because I thought it would be better and cooler and I understand it. Thought you might want to know.
