Chapter Ten
When I arrived at Malfoy Manor with my luggage just after 2pm the following day, Narcissa was waiting for me in the family room, when she saw me she hugged me and then asked me to follow her up to the room I would be staying in.
We finally reached a long corridor on the second floor, and I followed Narcissa over to the last door on the left, she pulled it open and walked inside and beckoned me in, I couldn't stop the gasp that escaped my lips, it was beautiful.
It was twice the size of my normal bedroom, and decorated in a rich purple and silver, with oak flooring and a large wool rug at the foot of the lavish four poster bed, which had bedding to match the decoration of the room. My bed sat at the centre of the room, with a bed side table on either side of the bed. To the left of my bed was a set of doors which opened up to a balcony which overlooked the lake, there were a couple of other doors which I soon found to be the bathroom and a very large closet.
"Wow, Aunt Cissa, this is amazing!" I exclaimed and gave her a quick hug.
"I'm glad you like it, honey," she told me with a genuine smile. " I will leave you to settle in, feel free to wander around and help yourself to anything, I will be in my study if you need me, Mrs Parkinson is coming round for tea," Narcissa told me before kissing my cheek and leaving me to put my things away.
It didn't take me long to put my things away. Seeing as it was a lovely day, I changed into a pair of white denim shorts and a bright blue vest top and my flip flops, and decided to take a look around outside. And so I set off looking for a way outside.
It was ten minutes later, and I still hadn't made my way outside, that I bumped into Draco, I guessed that he had just been flying as he looked a bit windswept and he was carrying his broom.
"Hey, erm could you tell me the easiest way to get outside? This place is a bit of a maze," I asked quietly and he laughed.
"Come on I'll show you, its far easier that trying to direct you," Draco said and turned around and led me in the opposite direction, it was only two minutes later when he opened the front door for me. I turned and thanked him, telling him that I would see him later, he just nodded and I walked around the Manor until I reached a large lake, it looked so peaceful so I decided to go and sit by it for a while.
Once I sat down, time just seemed to fly by, I tried to clear my head of everything that had happened over the last few days, but it was tough. I knew I had to accept everything, but it was hard, there were so many changes to my life, I hope that Harry and Ron would accept the new me, but I truly couldn't see that happening anytime soon. I knew that I would have Ginny support and for that I was thankful. Soon enough I decided it was time to go in as it was almost dinner time, where the time had gone I do not know. And so I slowly wandered back to the Manor.
