Chapter Two: Letters and Pretty Eyes
I knew he hated me, I knew he wished I was a boy, but no matter how strong his hate toward me was he had never beaten me, he insulted me and made me feels less than a muggleborn and at times even less than a house elf. I touched the purple yellow bruise that was forming in the corner of my right eye and wince, how the hell was I suppose to hide the hideous thing that now adorned my face.
He didn't beat me in the station. Oh no, I could already hear the words coming out of his mouth '' what would the people say, a Malfoy acting like a savage ''. He waited until we where home until no one could hear my pleas of help, not like anyone would have helped me in the station, well maybe the redhead boy would have.
I could still remember the look of total shock he gave as I ran out of the station without explaining my self to him, how I wished I had given him m real name. He might have sent an owl, in the manor I was not aloud to send owls, in fact I had no owl I had a cat called Athena. I looked in the mirror, the purple and yellow bruise was still visible even after all the makeup I had applied on it.
Father, Mother and Draco had gone out, a family evening, I like always stayed home behind to drown in my own misery, um that would not be such a bad idea. Before they left, Draco left some sweats he knew I loved them yet father never permitted me to have, apparently he didn't want to waste food on me.
A loud crash made me jump, and made Athena jump out of my bed and hiss at the mess of a bird that had attacked us. It flew and slammed it self into the window again, as if not guessing there was a window, I walked slowly toward it and opened the window the bird flew open and laded in my bed, Athena was still hissing at the owl. It was holding a letter in its beak and it looked worn out, I smiled.
'' Puki '' I called a loud snap was heard and a tiny looking elf appeared by my side holding the hem of my dress.
'' Did Miss. Meli call Puki '' Puki said bowing her head to the ground, I smiled down at her, Puki had been born in the manor, and her mother died at birth, I made it my personal mission to care for her since she was the smallest of the elf's.
'' Yes, can you bring some owl food, and don't tell the other elf's, or my parents or Draco '' I said and Puki looked as if the only idea of betraying me horrified her, she bowed again.
'' Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, Puki is a good elf, she would never do something like that, no, no, no, Puki is a good elf and does what her mistress tells her too do, yes, yes, yes '' with a loud pop Puki was gone, and in her place some owl treats.
I made my way to the owl, I took the letter from it, yet the owl didn't leave. I had no idea how he found me no idea at all, besides to deliver mail to a fake person that must have difficult, I gave the owl a treat and sat in the bed I looked at the envelope again to see if it was right.
