Istepped out of the fireplace and dusted myself off. "My goodness Elizabeth you are stunning!" I hear a high pitched voice say. I look over and see Mrs. Malfoy coming over with a glass of wine in her hand clearly tipsy. "Thank you Mrs. Malfoy you look beautiful also" I say being polite. "Please call me Sissy, I used to change your diapers" she says giggling. I feel a blush start to creep up on my cheeks as Jazz I steps out of the fireplace to save me. "Jessibelle look at you! Both of you such beautiful young ladies. You two are going to make these boys very lucky one day!" She says once again getting excited. "Draco!" She starts shouting looking around. "Yes mother?" He says walking up. "Look Elizabeth and Jessibelle are here!" She says happily. As he approached he seemed to be taken aback which only made his mother more excited. "Sweetie why don't you show these lovely ladies to their seats?" She suggested pushing him towards us. He held out his arms and we each took hold like proper ladies and he guided us towards the dining room. "Almost didn't recognize you Wright, you actually look like a pureblood" he says smugly. "Oooooooo was that supposed to hurt my feelings Malfoy? Still having mommy dearest set you up I see?" I reply. "Don't worry Malfoy one of these days someone will feel bad enough and pity fuck you" Jazzi adds. "Shut it Green" he says gritting his teeth. We both start laughing as we walk into the dinning hall. "Your seats" he says tensely letting go of our arms. "Guess you found the perfect job Malfoy, keep up the good work you make a wonderful servant" I say giggling at the look of disgust on his face. "Aw did we upset you?" Jazzi says in a baby voice. We sit down laughing as he storms off. Jazzi and I started talking about the up coming year and all the things we needed to do. "OK opening party? Who's coming? Where's it gonna be?" Jazzi asks. My smile widens as I get an evil glint in my eye. "Oh jeez Lizzy please don't get anyone killed" she begs. Laughing I shake my head lightly. "Don't worry Jazzi it will be amazing" I say with an evil smirk. Dinner was served and we ate while deciding what other kinds of parties and fun we were gonna have this year. "Why does he keep staring?" I whine to Jazzi nodding towards the end of the table. She looks up and smirks turning her head towards me. "What?" I ask looking confused. She opens her mouth to answer me but gets cut off. "Elizabeth Marie let's go dinner is almost over everyone will be moving to the lounge!" My mother hisses. Jazzi squeezes my hand as I get up rolling my eyes. I follow her into the lounge and notice they had a stage set up with a piano and a mic stand. I sigh looking at it, I love singing but I hate how my mother uses it to exploit me. I walk up onto the stage as all the guests move into the room. Jazzi is off to the side talking with Blaise, I smirk thinking that little slut, and have to stop myself from giggling. That really wasn't a problem as He glided to the front of the crowd everyone shut up. "My dearest followers tonight we our in for a treat. Our little Elizabeth Wright shall be singing a song for us." He turned towards me and I can only assume it was supposed to be a smile that was on his face. "My how you've grown just think soon you'll be one of us. You truly are your mother's child eager to please" he says then he walks to the front of the group and gestures me to start. I wave my hand and the piano starts to play a sad soft melody. Taking a deep breathe I step up to the mic. " On the first page of our story The future seemed so bright Then this thing turned out so evil I don't know why I'm still surprised Even angels have their wicked schemes And you take that to new extremes But you'll always be my hero Even though you've lost your mind. Just gonna stand there and watch me burn Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry Well that's alright because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie I love the way you lie." I paused taking a breathe and glancing around the room. Everyone seemed to be entranced by the song, they hung to every word. I took another breathe and continued. " Now there's gravel in our voices Glasses shattered from the fight In this tug of war you always win Even when I'm right Cos you feed me fables from your head With violent words and empty threats And it's sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied. Just gonna stand there and watch me burn Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry Well that's alright because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie I love the way you lie." My lord seemed pleased as far as I could tell. I look over to Jazzi and see a tear run down her cheek but a smile plastered to her face. Then I notice Draco has joined her and Blaise, watching intently with a look I can't quite place. I repress the shudder I feel coming and finish the song. " So maybe I'm a masochist I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave Til the walls are going up In smoke with all our memories. Just gonna stand there and watch me burn Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry Well that's alright because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie I love the way you lie I love the way you lie." The piano sounds off the last note and I curtsy showing my respect to my lord and my elders. My lord starts clapping and everyone else joins in enthusiastically. I look up and I don't think I've ever seen my mother so happy. He comes over and puts his hand on my shoulder. "Keep up the good work my dear there are great things in your future. Now I must go speak with your parents." With that he walks away and I let out the breathe I was holding. Jazzi came running up to me and hugged me. "You were amazing my dear!" I look at her and smile weakly. "I need air" I say simply. She nods and I walk out of the lounge and out the nearest door. I lean against the stone railing and pull out a cigarette while looking for a lighter. I hear one flick to life and quickly spin around to see Draco there, lighter lit and a cigarette hanging from his lips. He lights mine for me and says nothing as I take a slow shaky breathe. We stand there in silence for what seems like forever. "You were amazing" he finally says breaking the silence. "Thank you" I say quietly. I look at him and can't help but think back to when we were kids and I used to spend my days here running around, laughing and just being a care free child. "What happened to us?" He asks suddenly. I smile at his question and turn to face him. "You became an arrogant prat" I answer simply. "I'm not that bad" he says. I look at his face and for the first time in a long time I actually take in his features. Strong and stern, cold yet something hidden just below the surface. "You're right you're not all bad but your still an arrogant prat" I say with a smile. He grabs me and kisses me. Frozen in shock I don't know what to do for a moment. Then all at once my senses coming rushing back to me, I shove him away and slap him as hard as I can. Not waiting for him to respond I run back into the manner to find Jazzi. "Were leaving now!" I say frantically grabbing her arm and pull her to the fireplace we came through. I grab the floo powder as Draco storms into the room. Jazzi looks back confused as I throw the powder shouting, "Wright Manner!" The last thing i see is Draco looking hurt? No I imagined that.
