Okay so I am back... and its only a month or so since the last chapter. Someone said something about I should add more detail... I dunno. See my thing is unless its an important event, detail is a waste of time. Get to the point, you know? I have read so many books that drag on because the detail is pointless and I know people talk about symbolism but w/e this is only a fic. OK quick review, last chapter the prank pulled on Fred went horribly wrong and he ended up kissing Sydney. Lacey also is found by Draco and she decides to become who she should be, which is a Slytherin and a Malfoy. But the question is, will she? READ ON!
Breakfast in the Great Hall was awkward to say the least. Lacey was surronded by Draco and the rest of the Slytherin Quidditch team with the exception of Sydney. No matter how much Sydney tried, Lacey refused to talk. She even threatened to curse Sydney if she came near her. Sydney picked at her food, full of guilt. But why? She didn't do anything. It wasn't her fault that the prank went wrong and Fred kissed her! He didn't mean to! So why was Lacey giving her the cold shoulder? Lacey and Draco started to act civil towards each other which only meant that Draco had won the battle and Lacey was giving up.
Lacey only glanced once toward the Gryffindor table but quickly looked away. She was trying to listen to the conversation going on between the other Slytherins, but found it hard to concentrate. Was this really her fate? Was she just not meant to be with Fred and was it her fate to embrace the fact she was a Malfoy? She wondered if maybe she should just leave before worse things could happen. She could just go back to Beauxbatons and act like none of this had happened.
"Miss. Ravenclaw, Professor Dumbledore wants to see you in his office." Lacey looked up, a little startled, to see Snape.
"Oh, all right then, I'll be going." Lacey stood up from the table and proceeded to walk out of the Great Hall. Not without bumping into a certain red-headed Weasley.
Without looking up Lacey quickly apologized. That was until she saw who it was she bumped into. "Oh its you," Lacey said, with an angry look on her face.
"I'm sorry, Lacey. About everything, it wasn't supposed to happen like that according to George. I mean I had no control over what was going on. I swear to you that I never liked Sydney. I never even really knew who she was, honest. I would take it back if I could but..."
"I don't want your meaningless apologies. Now if you'll excuse me, I have something I must do." Lacey walked away quickly, half angry half sad. She walked to the statue sitting outside the entrance to Dumbledore's office.
"Raspberry Yogurt," Lacey muttered and the statue started to spiral toward the top of the tower. Lacey quickly stepped onto the stone steps and waited till the moving stopped. She knocked lightly on Dumbledore's door. It opened softly. She walked in, not sure if anyone was in there.
"Ah, Miss. Ravenclaw please sit. I am sure you are wondering why I have called you here. You have a very unexpected visitor." Lacey sat down thinking that maybe her visitor was her own mother.
"Lacey, it is nice to finally meet you at last. Draco has told me so much about you." Lacey turned, and stared, with her mouth wide open. It was him, her father standing there in front of her. It was Lucius Malfoy.
"You're...you're Lucius Malfoy...my...my..."
"Yes, your father. It was quite a surprise when Draco told me about you and I thought it necessary to see if it was true. By looking at you I can see the resemblence between you and Draco. I must say it wasn't believable at first. If only I had known I would have seen you sooner." There was a strange smirk on Lucius' face. There was a look in his eye that slightly frightened Lacey. If her mother ever found out, she would throw a giant fit and send Lacey to a different continent to get away from Lucius.
"When...when did Draco tell you?" If she found out that Draco told Lucius as soon as he found out she was going to kill him by using her bare hands.
"Just a week ago. I was busy with business but I am here now. I would like to get to know my daughter better, but for now I must be leaving. I will be back, Lacey." Lucius looked at Dumbledore and with that familar smirk, "Good-bye Dumbledore." With that, Lucius left the room.
"Professor, my mother is going to kill me if she ever finds out." Lacey put her face in her hands. What on earth was she going to do now?
"I must say it was quite a surprise to find Lucius Malfoy was coming. It would have been better if he hadn't found out for a little while longer. However, that was the risk you took with telling Draco and now let us hope it will a little while longer before your mother finds out. For now, you may proceed to Potions." Lacey nodded and stood up. She was about to walk out when Dumbledore stopped her. "Oh and Miss. Ravenclaw? Do not let mistakes ruin a perfectly good match. Accidents happen especially when the ingredients come from Zonkos."
Lacey was surprised. How did Dumbledore know about that? But of course he knew everything. She nodded and left. She quietly walked into Snape's classroom and took the nearest empty seat. This seat, of course, was right next to George. He looked up when she sat down.
"This is a surprise. You actually sitting next to me." George whispered without looking up.
"I didn't really have a choice. It was the only empty seat in the room."
George nodded. "You know, I saw Lucius leaving not too long ago. Did he find out about...well... you know?"
Lacey hesitated. "Yes. He knows thanks to Draco." She paused. "George? Do you think that others will find out? About who I really am?"
George shrugged. "Only if you let them. But Lacey, please forgive Fred. It really wasn't his fault. I guess I didn't follow all the directions or something. I'm really sorry I know I caused a mess."
"Its okay, George. I know it was an accident. Its just... I don't know if I want to stay now. Maybe I could just go to Beauxbatons and pretend this never happened. What do you think?"
George didn't respond right away. He thought about it, and then shook his head. "Running away from Hogwarts won't keep Malfoy away and besides you can't just leave. Fred would be absolutely heart-broken. There's a dance coming up and I have a feeling that if you aren't around to ask it won't be any fun."
"Okay then. I'll stay for a little while longer I suppose. And I guess I should talk to Fred."
George smiled, "That's the best thing I've heard all day."
The rest of Potions class went by slowly and with Snape doing the usual Slytherin praising and taking points from Gryffindor. Lacey anxiously waited for class to be over. She really had to talk to Fred before it was much too late and before the Slytherins swarmed around her like they always do. Finally when it seemed an eternity had passed, it was time to leave. Lacey quickly got up and searched for Fred. She waited outside before he had finally walked out.
"Fred? Uh... I was wondering if I could talk to you for a moment?" Fred, a little surprised, nodded. "Good, good. Well, see I just wanted to say that I know it's not your fault about what happened with Sydney. Neither of you had planned it and I know it was just George didn't fully read the directions and it made everything go a little odd. I know you feel simply awful and its been miserable not having my friends around. I mean, being with the Slytherins all the time is really starting to make me one and I'd rather that not happen. So there, I said it."
Fred didn't say anything right away. Finally, when he found the words he start to talk. "Lacey, I'm glad you don't hate me anymore. It's quite a relief actually. But I need to ask you something really important. I've been meaning to ask you for a while I just haven't had the courage. Lacey will you...."
AND its over! Or at least just the chapter. Kinda short I know. So sorry! Well anyway not too many chapters left. Hope u all liked and revieww!!!
