AN: Hey everyone sorry I haven't updated in a long time i've been busy with trying to get stuff done to graduate and also I've had some new story Idea's to get down so here is your long awaited wait for Life as a Zabini.

Chapter 7

Mia quickly got dressed into a gold and silver bathing suit before grabbing a towel from her bathroom and her flip flops. She took a deep breath before leaving the room and walking down the stairs. The boys were still standing at the end of the stairs and she smiled.

"Thanks for waiting," she said as she reached them.

Blaise smiled at his sister and took her hand. "Not a problem," he said. Mia smiled at him. "Come on let's go." He started walking towards the french doors leading into the pool. Draco followed Blaise and Mia. He couldn't help but look at Mia's figure in her suit. Even if that spell hadn't changed her body shape except for her height, he had to admit she looked good.

They all stepped outside onto the back patio towards the pool. It was warmer here than it was in London yet there was a relaxing breeze. Mia smiled and put her towel down on a lawn chair and walked over to the edge of the pool and felt the water with her foot. It was at a moderate temperature, not too cold yet not too warm. She smiled and was getting ready to dive in when...

"CANNON BALL!" yelled the boys. Mia squealed when both boys ran and jumped into the pool from either side of her. The two boys hit the water and splashed Mia who squeaked again. The boys came up laughing. Mia glared at them playfully. Who knew that two Slytherin prince's could be fun.

Blaise laughed. "Come on Sis," he said and waved a hand to her.

"Or are you afraid we might bite Mia?" teased Draco.

Mia raised a delicate eyebrow. "I'll show you how scared I am," she said. She smirked and jumped into the pool right between the boys who laughed. When Mia came up she splashed the boys in the face.

Ana looked out the window from the library on the first floor and smiled at the kids. She was happy that Mia was not longer afraid of the boys though her father... well she hasn't seen Mia interact with her dad but she hoped that everything would be okay. She laughed as she saw when Mia had climbed out of the pool only to have Draco jump out, grab her by the waist, then fall backwards back into the pool. She loved to see the smile that spread across Mia's face as she splashed the blonde boy and ducked him under the water and swimming away quickly.

"Tea Madam?" asked a little brown eyed house elf that appeared beside Ana.

Ana turned to her and smiled. "Yes please, thank you." The house elf nodded and put the tray of tea down before disappearing with a pop.

Mia panted and got out of the pool and sat down on the lawn chair. She giggled when she saw Draco and Blaise wrestle around in the shallow end. As she watched the boys she began to think. What would the Gryffindor's think when they found out? Would she stay in Gryffindor house or would she have to switch to Slytherin? What would her friends say? As that question accord to her, her eye's went wide and she jumped up. She wrapped her towel around her and ran into the house and up the stairs.

Draco blinked. "What's with her?" he asked as he pointed to Mia.

Blaise shrugged and got out of the pool. "Let's find out." Draco followed Blaise out of the pool and dried off before going into the house. They headed up the stairs to Mia's room and looked into the room. Mia was sitting on her bed with a letter in her hand. Crookshanks was curled up beside her. They watched as Mia read the letter then flopped back on her bed with a depressed kind of smile.

"Mia? You okay?" asked Draco as he walked into the room. Mia didn't say anything but just held up the letter in her hand. Draco took it and started to read:

Dear Her... Mia,

Hey its Ginny. Harry and Ron aren't home right now. They went to Diagon Alley for somethings. Don't worry I haven't told them yet and I'll tell you now they won't be happy about the news. I don't think they'd want to talk to you again but we'll see. Mum knows and she doesn't seem to have a problem with it. She said "Hermione is Hermione no matter what family she belongs to." So don't worry. Dad was a little shocked at first. Him and Mum got into an argument but as always Mum won in the end. Dad accepts you still even though he was still a little flabbergasted. And don't worry, I still be here for you. I always will. You're my best friend and that won't change anything. Anyway how are things? You getting along with your new family?

OH! I almost forgot to mention. You and the Grangers are all over the muggle news and in the papers. The police are looking for you. You might want to get your parents to do something or contact Professor Dumbledore or the Ministry. Oh I got to go, Harry and Ron just walked into the door. I'll show them your letter after dinner and owl you the results. By the way pretty owl.

Lots of Love,

Ginny

Draco handed the letter to Blaise so he could read it and walked over to Mia. "You okay?" he asked.

Mia sat up and smiled at him. "Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm glad Ginny accepts me still but I don't think Harry and Ron will. I mean... they still don't like you two even though you did help us in the war."

Draco hugged her and smiled. "Don't worry, even if they don't you still have us."

Blaise put the letter on the bed and crossed his arms. "Yeah, you've got us. Who needs Potter and Weasley King anyway."

Mia rolled her eyes. "Guys, please be nice. They're my best friends... my first friends and I don't want to lose them. You being mean to them is only going to make things worse. So please don't make this hard for everyone.

Draco and Blaise looked at each other and nodded. "Alright Sis, we promise to be on our best behavior and pretend we like your friends," said Blaise as he sat on the bed and patter Crookshanks' head.

Mia giggled and smiled at them. "That's all I ask for." She smirked then kicked her brother in the butt. "Now get your wet arse off my bed."

Blaise laughed and jumped off the bed. A knock came from the door and they all turned to see Ana.

"Dinner will be ready soon so why don't all of you get changed for dinner," she said and smiled at them.

The boys nodded and left the room. Ana walked over to Mia and sat on the bed. "You seem to be doing pretty well," she said.

Mia smiled and nodded. "Yes, I am." She looked down at her hands. "Mother?"

Ana stroked Mia's hair. "What is it dear?"

"Do you... Do you think father likes me?"

Ana blinks and then starts laughing. "Of course he likes you. He loves you sweetie. You should have heard him after the war. He was so looking forward to getting you back from the Granger we just didn't know when we were gonna come. He was so excited when he heard that you were home but once we heard how you came here he was so upset. He was worried sick. Don't worry dear, your father would never hurt you."

Mia smiles and nods. "Alright mother."

Ana kissed Mia's forehead and smiled. "Now get dressed and meet us in the dinning room." She stood up and headed to the door and stopped. "Why don't you sit by your father. I'm sure he'd like that." And with that she left the room.

Mia smiled at her retreating back before getting up and closing the door. She thought about what her mother said as she went into her closet to look for something to wear. Her father isn't anything like John. He cares for her... yet John did too at one point. Mia shook her head. Her real father would never hurt her. He loved her too much. Yes, she would sit by her father.
