Chapter Twelve
After a long peaceful sleep, I was awoken by a loud knock on my bedroom door, with a groan I rolled over and said, "come in," my Aunt Cissa walked in looking lovely in a light green summer robe.
"Good morning honey, I came to inform you that we have a lunch date with Mrs Zabini, in a hour, we will be flooing over to her Manor at 1pm, so you had best be up and organised soon," Aunt Cissa told me as she walked across my room and threw the heavy curtains open, and I had to shield my eyes from the sunlight.
"Morning, I'll be ready for quarter to one, don't worry," I replied as she walked back across my bedroom towards the door and with a quick nod and small smile, she was gone.
With a groan I heaved myself out of bed and prepared myself for the day ahead, today was the day I was to officially meet Marcus Flint, my betrothed, and I was dreading it. I entered the bathroom and had a quick shower and then dried my hair and tied it up so that it wouldn't be in my way. I then changed into an electric blue summer dress with matching flip flops. Once ready I headed downstairs and to the sitting room where I knew Aunt Cissa would be.
"Hi honey, you look lovely," she called as I entered the beautifully decorated room.
"Thank you, you look very nice too, so will it just be Mrs Zabini and us?" I asked.
"Yes, I didn't want to bombard you with too many people yet, especially seeing as we are to have a busy evening, come now we must be going," she replied and I followed her to the fireplace where we proceeded to floo to Zabini Manor.
The afternoon went by quickly, I enjoyed the company of Blaise's mum, and she was really nice. We talked about all sorts of things ranging from fashion, to Draco, Blaise and their friends, to holidays; I truly had a good time. Soon enough though it was time to head back to the Manor, and prepare for our dinner with the Flints. I don't think I have dreaded anything more, I'm just glad that the Malfoys will be there with me and I don't have to meet them all on my own.
