Louise woke early. Rolling over, she saw that it was 5:45am. Prince, who had been sleeping on the floor beside her bed, sat up, wagging his tail happily.

She chuckled and ruffled his ears before swinging her legs out of bed and heading over to her wardrobe to pick out some clothes.

After washing, dressing and pulling on some trainers, she headed out of her room, Prince at her heels. She silently slipped downstairs and headed outside. After walking through the woods in the sunrise, she headed back to Malfoy Manor for her breakfast.

Lucius Malfoy was crossing the hallway as she came through the front door.

He spotted Prince and scowled. "I told your mother that…creature was not to be allowed in the house!" he snapped.

Louise shrugged. "Good morning to you too uncle" she replied.

Lucius opened his mouth to make a sharp comment, but was cut off by Narcissa, who was heading down the grand staircase.

"Is there a problem darling?" she asked her husband sweetly.

Lucius turned to his wife, fixing a sickly sweet smile onto his face. "No dear" he answered.

As they headed into the dining room, Narcissa turned and winked at her niece, knowing full well what was wrong with her husband.

A/N: I'm sorry it's so short, I haven't had a lot of free time recently, I'll post a longer chapter ASAP!
