Frankie's POV
As Ron and I were making out on the couch in my room, we heard the front door open. I pulled apart when it clicked into my head who was here. I grabbed Ron's hand and pulled him off the couch.
"Where are we going?" he said as I was dragging him out the door.
"My parents! They're back!" I said excitedly as I ran down the stairs.
"Mom!" I screamed running into her arms. I missed her hugs.
"Hey honey. Who's this?" she asked pointing to Ron
"Oh sorry! Mom, this is Ron, my boyfriend. Ron, this is my mom." I said smiling.
"It's nice to meet you Miss Patricks." Ron said holding out his hand.
"It's very nice to meet you as well. I didn't even know Frankie had a boyfriend! But all the same, I'm glad she's with a polite boy like you." She said.
"Mom..." I said gritting my teeth
"Ron and I are going out for a bit." I said.
"Alright, be home for dinner, there is something your father and I have to discuss with you and your brother." She said. I nodded and pulled Ron out the door.
"She seems nice. But I can't go anywhere, I have to be home soon." he said looking at me with a grin on his face.
"Oh you're such a square! Fine go home! Leave me here to die!" I said smiling at him so he would know I was kidding.
"Frankie. You know I would stay with you if I could. But I would rather eat." He said jokingly. We walked back into the house and over to the fireplace. He grabbed some floo powder and was about to throw it when I grabbed him.
"Ron I forgot something." I said
"What?" he asked. I pushed my lips against his. He quickly responded and ran his tongue across my lips for entry. I pulled away.
"Sorry, but you'd rather go eat." I said smirking.
"You're killing me!" he said. And then hopped into the fireplace and was gone. I asked my mom when dinner would be and she told me it would be ready in 2 hours. What to do for two hours? Then I remembered what Ron told me earlier. Draco told him he drugged me. It was time to go and kill him for doing thatI went back over to the fireplace, grabbed some floo powder and said
"Malfoy Manor!" my head started spinning. But as quick as it started, it stopped. I looked around and saw no one. But I did see the front door. So I ran to it, opened it, then went outside and closed the door. I knocked on it. I know I should have just gone up to Draco's room to find him, but I didn't want to walk in on him shagging another girl. The door opened and there stood a tall man with long white hair.
"Is Draco here?" I asked trying to sound sweet.
"Yes. Why do you want to see him?" he asked glaring at me."I need to yell at him." I said matter-of-factly.
"Well that's a first." He said smirking.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Frankie. What's with the questions? I'm not even dating Draco." I said.
"Do you know who I am?" he asked as though he were someone of importance.
"I'm going to take a wild guess here. But I would have to say Lucius Malfoy?" I said smirking.
"Why do you think you can talk to me in such a manner?" he said getting a tad angry.
"I just figured this would be a good time." I said. But he did something I didn't expect him to do. He... he smirked at me.
"I like you. You defiantly would be good for my son. He's upstairs, go on up." He said letting me inside. I went upstairs and saw Draco's room. The last time I had been here he was with Kate on his bed. I guess I should knock this time.knock, knock, knock
"Who is it?" he asked.
"The exotic dancer you ordered sir." I said laughing to myself.I heard foot steps coming to the door.
"What?!" he said sounding shocked before he opened the door.
"Ello Draco." I said. He just stood there looking at me. Why does he do that so often?
"F...Frankie? What are you doing here?" he said
"Well I would tell you, but I had a talk with your father outside for like ten minutes and I would really like to sit down now." I said. He led me into the room and I sat on his bed.
"You... you were talking to my father? What... what did he say to you?" he asked looking shocked that his father even looked at me.
"Oh you know this and that. He did tell me he liked me... but I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not." I said laughing a little.
"He did? Wow I don't think my father has ever said he likes me." He said shocked.
"Sucks to be you!" I said jokingly.
"But anyhow, the reason I'm here is... Why did you talk to Ron? You hate him. So why?" I asked this time being serious.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He said obviously lying.
"Why did you lie to Ron?" I asked completely ignoring his last answer.
"I didn't lie to him." He said.
"So than you really did drug me?" I said knowing the answer. He shook his head saying no.
"Well then why did you go over there to talk to him? And why did you lie?" I asked. He just sat there looking at me.
"Draco, answer me!" I yelled.
"BECAUSE I WANTED YOU TO BE HAPPY." he yelled back.
"I knew that if he didn't forgive you, that you would be depressed the rest of the summer. And I didn't want to see you curled up in a ball crying yourself to sleep." He said.
"How... how did you..."
"I came to see you a couple times. But every time I did you were in the same position, and all I could hear was crying. It was killing me. I knew you wouldn't be happy with me because of what I did to you, so I thought of the only other way of doing it." He said.
"Draco, I... I..." I was speechless. He cared about me that much, to talk to a guy he hates, just to make me happy. I feel like I've been such a bitch to him.
"Frankie, its fine. Just forget about it okay?" he said angrily and looking away. I jumped into his arms and hugged him. I could tell he was shocked at first, but then he held me.
"I'm so sorry Draco. I shouldn't have expected the worse. Thank you." I said quietly in his ear.
"It's fine Frankie." He said.
"Draco?"
"yeah?"
"I forgive you." I said.
>> > Fast Foward to your house
"We aren't going home when the summer is done. We are staying here!" my mother said excitedly.
"What?! What do you mean we are staying?" I yelled, dropping my fork.
"Well technically you and your brother aren't. You two are going to a school called 'Hogwarts'. You stay there year round, coming home for holidays of course! I know this will make you happy, Frankie. It turns out your boyfriend goes there as well!" she said.
"Mom, are you nuts? We don't want to be stuck in school with all those snotty English kids!" Tommy yelled.
"Don't be so rude Thomas! How dare you call your mother such a name! You have no choice, you are both going and that's that!" my father said.
"Don't yell at him! He's just saying what I was about to. I can't believe this. You tell us this now? Not even letting us say goodbye to everything we've ever known? You guys are unbelievable. "I said pushing my chair out and getting up to leave.
"Francis! Get back here now! We aren't done talking yet!" my father yelled.
"What's left for me to say? Other than I hate you more than you will ever know right now!" I screamed and stormed upstairs.
"Francis, you're grounded!" I heard my father yell as I was going upstairs. But right now I really didn't care. I slammed my door shut and turned on my music. I turn up the volume max and played 'Love Rhymes with Hideous Car Wreck' by the blood brothers. I walked over to my bed and lay there on my stomach. I cried. I never knew this would affect me so much. As the songs were switching, I heard a tapping at my window. I looked and it was an owl I've never seen before. I opened the window and I saw it was holding a piece of parchment. I opened it. It read:
Dear Frankie, I was thinking about tomorrow. Maybe you could just come here? I figured it would be easier than going out. This way we could eat whatever we want and put our feet up without getting yelled at. But if you would rather go out than that's fine too. Anyhow, let me know. My owl won't leave until he gets a response. So get writing!
Love, Draco
As I read this I smiled. I grabbed some parchment and a quill. I petted Draco's owl on the head and began writing:
Dear Draco, I like that idea. Sounds like a blast. It would make me forget all about what my mother told me at dinner. I was also wondering, do you want to do something tonight? I'm actually grounded, but I'm willing to sneak out. If you're busy then I'll find something else to do. Now you better start writing!
Love, Frankie.
I gave the owl the letter I just wrote and I told her to get there quickly. Instead of sitting waiting for the letter, I got up and walked over to my brother's room. I knocked and I heard no answer so I came in anyways. I saw him sitting on his bed writing a letter.
"Oh sorry, Frankie, I would have answered if I had known it was you." He said sadly.
"It's fine. I'm just letting you know that I'm going out. So if you could possibly cover for me? Who are you wr... oh Jennifer. I forgot. Tommy I'm really sorry. But I bet she will come and visit!" I said hopefully.
"Thanks for trying Frankie, but you know how long distance things work out. And yeah I'll cover for you. Thanks for semi-standing up for me back there by the way. I think I just want to be alone right now though." He said still very sad. I nodded and walked back into my room seeing Draco's owl at my window. I opened it and took the letter.
Dear Frankie, Are you kidding? Of course I want to hang out tonight. Especially since you'll be sneaking out. It makes it even more fun! Come on over and I'll be waiting by the fireplace for you to come out. See you soon.
Love, Draco
I smiled to myself and went to the bathroom to brush my hair and teeth. I put on a bit of makeup. I went to the fireplace I have in my room (why I didn't use this before I'll never know) and grabbed some floo powder, then said
"Malfoy Manor"
