The next few months went by very quickly. I had almost forgotten about the Malfoy's, until I saw Lucius at the Ministry of Magic. I felt like throwing up as he started to walk towards me.
" Dana, come home. Stop this foolishness. You are making your family look bad.," said Lucius in his snake like tone.
" I am with my family. If it makes you look bad, that is your own fault. I am staying where I am so you can just build a bridge and get over it.," I replied breathlessly. The glare in his eyes was enough to make anyone scream. I quietly walked away. Well, at least I tried to. Lucius grabbed my arm quickly as I was turning.
" You are coming home with me. This nonsense stops right now. How could you be staying with half-bloods and traitors? Have I taught you nothing? You are a pure blood, one of the few. You need to start acting like it.," Lucius answered outraged. I could not believe my ears. This man who had made my existence a living hell, was now trying to once again control it. This time I made a clean getaway. Walking as fast as I could, I ran into Fred Weasley.
" Hey what's wrong sweetheart?," asked Fred concerned.
" Nothing. I just ran into Lucius. He was making this all about him.," I answered unsure of myself.
" It is not. It is about you. You need to be with your real family. With me.," said Fred as he was leaning down to kiss me. What happened next, was very bizarre.
" Mackenzie Black! What are you doing?," said Sirius, quickly yet seriously. I could not believe my ears. The one person I thought who would understand, had a problem with our relationship?
" What are you talking about? I am saying hello to my boyfriend.," I answered frustrated.
"Your what?! Mackenzie you are too young to even think about a serious relationship.," Sirius said in rage. I could not believe this. I did not care though. This was my life my life and for once I was going to be in control.
