Authors note: reviewing would be nice guys! I know people are reading the story! I can't know what I am doing wrong or right if you dont tell me so leave it in a review!
Alanna had awoken early and went shopping with her Aunt Cissa, as the women had insisted she called her. Alanna had had her doubts about shopping with her because of her sons attitude towards her 'blood'. But Narcissa was a kind women who loved to shop and design clothes. She even owned a small clothing store in Paris for the upper classes. She was now armed with her aunts finest clothes and many other high class designers also. She was adapting to her new life quickly easily, it was almost as if she had been there her whole life. After they had arrived back at Azul manor they sat in one of the many sitting rooms discussing the Black family history and its many secrets.
"You know Alanna darling you should start coming out into society and dating. Would you like me to set you up on a cupple of blind dates with some of my friends sons?" Alanna smiled, she knew her aunt would ask it eventually. "Of course Aunt Cissa that would be marvelous." It wasn't a lie either. Since she felt a connection to her aunt and wanted to gain her trust by doing what she wanted her to do. Alanna could feel herself changing from that of a 'mudblood' who did not care what anyone thought, to a pureblood who thrived on bieng in the 'in' crowd. Her aunt departed shortly after 3 to go design some more clothes forher newest line which had a runway show in a cupple of months. Alanna had several hours before her uncle was to come back from Hogwarts. She wondered if her friends even missed her, 'of course they do' she thought to herself 'why wouldn't they miss me, maybe I should go write to them' she continued down the hall that led to her room. She entered her room to already find an owl sitting on her window ledge.
"Well hello there Hedwig" she said while opening her window to let the owl in. She took the letter from the owl giving it several owl treats in exchange.
Dear Hermoine or Alanna, whichever you go by now,
We know you have a lot on your mind right now. We just wanted to write this letter to let you know that we are here for you and we miss you terribly! Snape explained everything to us and we're happy that you get to take your tests early and be with your relatives. Snape said we may even be able to visit you on some weekends. He also told us that you will be at Hogwarts sometimes apprenticing with him so we will still be able to see you just not as much! All the members of Gryffindor and the D.A. send thier love.
yours truely,
Ron, Harry, and Ginny
Alanna smiled at least they still thought the same of her. She quickly wrote a reply and sent it with Hedwig. She sighed and called for her house elf Mitsy, her uncle had given her the house elf that morning to help her find things and be sort of like a companion to her so she did not get lonely. Mitsy was a more out spoken elf and reminded her of Lavender Brown her old dormmate. "Mitsy can you take these books back to the library and get me some more potions books. Try and find the older ones. Thank-you Mitsy" The elf grabbed the stack and was back in several seconds with a new stack of books whch Alanna imedietly started to read getting lost in the old world potions. Mitsy came back an hour later saying dinner would be in 10 minutes. Hermoine sighed and put a book mark in her book. She straighted her clothes to look more presentable and made her way down to the dining room where her uncle already sat grading papers.
"How was school today uncle?" she said cheerfully as the food apeared infront of her. "It went well I was bombarded by your friends of course. But other than that my day went well. How did shopping with your cousin Narcissa go"
"Oh it was wonderful uncle, Aunt Cissa took me to her shop in Paris and to all the finest stores. We talked for hours afterwards to, about everything. It helped a lot to connect to the family by hearing the history of it. She said she is going to set me up on some blind dates also like you said she would. I of course accpeted because I do need to start getting in on the dating scene pureblood or not. Now that I am preparing to leave Hogwarts I do need to start thinking about the future, besides bieng a potions master that is"
"Of course Allana thats a wonderful idea. I am sure it will be an experiance you can look back on and laugh. Most pureblood boys these days are numbskulls you may loose some brain cells just listening to them talk about themselves or quidditch"
"I'm sure it wont be that bad Uncle, I have faith in Aunt Cissa to find a boy for me for the season"
"She is very good at match making, she has set up many successful cupples. I am sure you will be no exception." Alanna smiled and finshed eating her meal before speaking up again.
"Do you want my help grading some papers?" her uncle looked up and smiled, "Of course Alanna you can check my 1st through 4th years D.A.D.A." he said handing her a quill and red ink " and "I can finish my advanced classes and 5th year D.A.D.A." The two finished several hours later. "You may go to the Navy room and watch some tv. I had it installed for you today while you were out. I want you in bed at 11 though. I will be leaving you some study materials for tomarrow so you can study for your NEWTS. Your lessons with me will not start until after NEWTS, possibly longer so you can get settled in with the elementals. Good night Alanna"
"Goodnight Uncle!" Alanna went to the room and found a home theater system, she sat on one of the many plush couches and turned the screen on with a romote she found on the couch. She watched several movies that were on before heading to bed.
