It was morning, I was awake still in bed starring to the side of me. It was empty. Dead empty. I ran my hand down the sheets and back up again, and sighed. How empty could a person feel inside? I never knew, not when I saw the Dark Lord stare straight into my eyes, no. This was worse. The worse part, I never cried. I never let any of my emotions out so it just bottled up inside me.
"Sidney!" Kimber called to me.
I sighed once more and got up, feeling grouchy and arrogant.
"Hold on!" I almost screamed.
"Okay, gezz," I heard her say under her breath.
I went to my closet and put on some random outfit and ran downstairs to find Kimber and Draco each with two envelope's in their hands.
"Yours is on the table," Draco told me.
I nodded and picked it up, ripping it open.
Dear Mrs. Black,
You have been accepted to the Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.
"and blah blah blah," I mumbled.
Draco nodded in agreement, throwing it on the table.
"Well, great!" Kimber said, sounding excited.
"Hogwarts, what a pathetic excuse for a school," Draco replied.
"Well, you know what? Shut up Draco," Kimber said.
"I cant wait for Herbology," I said, rolling my eyes.
Kimber's P.O.V.
"Draco, Sidney. This year is going to be better than the last ones. We now we have a purpose for going back to the pathetic excuse for a school as you call it." I said eyeing Draco.
"And now that you two are married, everything will be just easy and perfect for you wont it?" Sidney spat.
" Sidney, whatever Regulus was doing must of been important, maybe we can find a way to talk to Kreacher and find out what he was doing. But all I know is that he didn't die just to die. He had a reason to go." Draco told her.
" Its true Sidney, whatever he was doing must of been important, or he wouldn't have even tried to do that task." I told her. She just sat there not answering. "Okay enough of this depressing talk. " Draco said, " Kimber me and you have lessons with Bellatrix, Sidney if you want i'll see if you can come with us?" Draco asked her.
"Um, sure. That would be good, my Cruciatus curse isnt that great anymore." She muttered.
"Okay well go and talk to Bellatrix." Draco said. He grabbed my hand and we walked out of the kitchen, and into the parlor where Draco's mother Narcissa and His auntie Bellatrix were talking.
" Um, Auntie Bellatrix?" Draco asked.
" Yes Draco?" She said in he high pitched husky voice.
" We just wanted to know if Sidney could train with us today. She wants you to help her with her Cruciatus curse?" Draco asked.
Bellatrix looked in Sidney's direction and smirked.
"I suppose," she giggled, skipping toward us.
Sidney's P.O.V.
Bellatrix skipped away toward us, away from Narcissa. I looked at Narcissa and she looked at me apologetically. I nodded in her direction, in a sort of respect way. Narcissa nodded back and looked at Draco.
"Actually Draco has plans today with me and Lucius," Narcissa said to Bellatrix.
"Common mom," Draco whined. I laughed. And shoved him towards her playfully.
"Now, Draco," Narcissa said sternly.
Draco hugged Kimber goodbye and went with his mom.
"Hmmmm, shall we start?" Bellatrix said, a huge smile coming across her face.
We both faced two dummies.
"Explariamus!" I yelled. Flicking my wand in the dummy's direction. I smiled, pleased with myself.
"Again," Bellatrix's said.
"But, I just -" I started.
"Again!" she interrupted.
I gritted my teeth and did the spell again.
"Again," she said.
"What?" I said in dis-belief.
"Its no good." she said simply.
I sighed loudly and did the spell again, and again, and again...
Kimber had done the spell just as many times as me but wasn't getting frustrated. So finally I said. " Can you at least tell me what im doing wrong." I screeched.
" Everything. Your posture, your speed and your movements are all wrong, your not even aiming properly. " She cackled.
"WELL THEN TELL ME WHAT TO DO EXACTLY!" I yelled.
" Do it again! That's what you need to do, practice. How do you think I became this good. By sitting there snogging my fiancé all day?" sneered Bellatrix.
" Bellatrix! That's enough!" Narcissa ordered, as she walked into the dueling room. "Sidney you may go, I need to speak to Bella and Kimber alone." I walked out of the room and sighed. 'Finally' I thought.
Kimbers P.O.V
I sat down with Narcissa and Bellatrix and Narcissa started talking " Okay Kimber, me and Draco were just discussing, wedding details. And Draco, wanted to go back to Hogwarts married."
"He, did? I thought that. . . never mind." I said.
" Well, I was wondering if we could go out tomorrow and look at wedding dresses." Narcissa said.
" Yeah, that's fine." I said. I was so excited. Draco, really wanted to marry me, and as soon as possible.
" I see no problem." Bellatrix giggled.
" Okay well then we will plan on that." Narcissa told us.
"Um, what about Sidney? Can she come?" I asked.
"I would think that it would be best without her. Especially if her and Regulus were planning on getting married. I think that it would just be hard on her." Narcissa said " And also I don't really want her and Bella in the same, vicinity for a large amount of time."
"Okay, I understand." I told them. Draco then walked into the room and said, " Okay, mother, that's enough, you guys can have your fun tomorrow." Draco pulled me out of the room.
The next day I woke up, hearing Sidney shouting different spells.
I walked down into the duel room and saw her, dark rings under her eyes, but perfect posture.
"Averte Statura!" she shouted at the dummy, which went flying backwards.
"That was brill-"
"Stupefy!" she yelled, her wand pointed at me.
I blinked halfway and was sent flying in the air.
"Oh, crap," she said, running to me. "Sorry, so sorry. I was just practicing. I thought you might be Draco or Lucius," she explained.
I glared and got up, "Draco?"
"I mean, Lucius," she tried covering.
"mhmm, brilliant shot though," I complimented.
"I've been up all night, practicing Explariums, Stupefy, Averte Statura, and Sectumsempra. I knew I could only work on a few spells to fit into one night to practice with," she said, smiling.
"Well, lets see them," I said, following her back to the dummy.
She used all four spells perfectly, probably as good as Bellatrix would use.
"Nice," I said.
"Thanks, I've always been better off teaching myself."
"Seriously. Well today Im going to go out with Narcissa and Bellatrix, dress shopping."
Sidney nodded slowly. "That's fine. I'll keep Draco company," she laughed.
"Don't you dare use any curses on him! Especially Sectumsempra," I said.
"I wont. I wont. I was only joking. But uh, Kimber?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you, I mean when we go to Hogwarts. Just say me and Regulus were already married. I knew it was never official but I just want people to know."
"Sure. Well seeyah later."
Then, I left.
I met up with Narcissa and Bellatrix in Borgin and Burkes. But while I was waiting for them looking around, I thought about what Sidney had said, she wants me and Draco to tell everyone that she and Regulus had been married. She really did love him and he really loved her, I could tell. It was like me and Draco, only there relationship was harder. But they were able to get through it together, until now. And now he is dead. I new that they would have married this summer but they had never got around to it. Sadly, I didn't happen though. So I could understand her request, and I new that I would have felt the same way.
**A few weeks later**
Sidney's P.O.V.
It was two days before the wedding, everyone was bursting with excitement.
And Im not even kidding.
I spent my days locked up, away from everyone else, in the duel room. Before, someone interrupted me.
"Sidney, I want you try on this dress! It's a perfect Made of Honor dress!" she exclaimed.
I looked at her in disbelief. "Really?" I whined. "But I was just-"
"Common," she said, putting on her puppy dog eyes. "Pwease."
"Fine," I said, following her into all of the madness.
She showed me my dress, which was absolutely beautiful.
A/N: See the dresses and stuff on our profiles (:
"It's awesome," I smiled, cheering up.
Kimber nodded brightly, putting away her wand.
"Cheer charm? Really?"
"Yupp."
Kimber's P.O.V.
I had to put a cheer charm on just to perk up her mood. And at least it worked. I didnt want a grouchy maid of honor.
"Has Draco seen the dress yet?" she asked me.
"No, of course not. I wanted him to but Narcissa wont allow him near it. " I told her. "Well I have my last fitting today, so i need you to try on your dress also." She just nodded and grabbed her dress and walked up to her room, to put it on. Narcissa helped me into my dress and Sidney came down a few minutes later. The dress on her was beautiful, it was knee length and white, it had little black designs one it and it fit her perfectly. My dress was about a foot past my feet, and it had a very small train. It was strapless and had a long bow tied around the waist, above the bow, it had black lace all over it, and on the bottom, was a little bit of black lace. It was absolutely beautiful. And I new Draco would love it!
It was one hour before the wedding, I was standing inside a white tent starring at my dress in the mirror, which fit perfectly.
It took a while for everyone to get ready and to be seated. We picked a place for the wedding, it was like an Enchanted forest.
"Good Luck." Sidney told me then went to her place. Lucius grabbed my arm, smiled at me and walked me down the aisle. Draco's back was turned, my eyes glanced around at everyone's familiar faces- my eyes raked over. Narcissa who was happily crying. Bellatrix, Fenrir Greyback, Grabbe, Goyle, Dolohov, and Snape, along with my fellow Death Eaters- but my real focus was on Draco. He turned around, and we both broke into breath taking smiles. He stood there in a black tuxedo with a red tie, and it was perfect for him, it fit his style and personality perfectly.
After what seemed like hours but was really only minutes, Me and Lucius reached Draco and the Priest. Lucius let go of my hand and smiled at me again. Then he went and took his place next to Narcissa. I stepped up next to Draco, and he took my hands in his. The priest said the usual vows that had been said thousands of times. But not to two new Death Eaters. The Dark Lord stood behind the priest and once the Priest was finished with the vows the Dark Lord said " You two have my blessing, im proud that two of my followers have had the chance to marry, and produce children of there own." Then the priest finished by saying " You may now kiss the bride."
Sidneys P.O.V
I looked at Lord Voldemort while he said those, words, I rolled my eyes and left quickly when the ceremony was over. The party was started after that.
I told Kimber that I just needed some air, she argued at first but then let me go. I evaporated to the wand shop in Diagon Alley and got my wand replaced after it broke the other night, I got one similar but more longer. It was a 14' inch wand with Ranespoor Fang and the wood was Yew.
I also stopped by the pet shop and was tempted to buy an owl but decided not to. It would have probably made a big problem.
"Funny that ring of yours," a boy said to me, a sort of rare plant in his hands.
"Is it a charm?" he asked, pointing to my tiger death eater ring.
"Sort of," I laughed nervously.
"You go to Hogwarts?" he asked.
I nodded. "Sixth year."
"Seventh for me."
I looked at him and smiled, sticking out my hand. "Sidney...ermm...Black." He hesitated but shook my hand. "Neville Longbottom."
That's when I pulled back.
Longbottom.
The words struck through me, like knives.
I couldn't help but pull out my new wand and point it at the Longbottom, striking my pose.
"What, what's wrong?" He asked, confused.
"You're a Longbottom!" I screamed with rage.
"What's so wrong with that?" he asked, terrified.
"What's your parents names?" I asked with the same volume and tone.
"Alice and Frank Longbottom," he said, a hint of sadness showing in his eyes.
"Your parents...they...they killed my parents," I yelled, tears dropping from my eyes.
"But...they...they would never!" he defended. "They were part of the Order of Phoenix you know, they would only kill Death Ea-" he trailed off, finally realizing something.
"Your parents were Death Eaters?" he snarled.
"Hardly," I said, glaring now, but put down my wand while people started to stare, then started walking away.
Neville ran after me though, pulling me into an alley. "What do you mean "hardly"?" he asked.
"They were more than just Death Eaters. They were, kind, and non-selfish. The only reason that they were Death Eaters is because it was family tradition. You.. .you wouldn't really understand," I explained.
"My parents are gone too. Tortured with the Cruciautus Curse."
I looked at Neville and suddenly realizing something, the difference between good and bad really didn't make a difference, we both were feeling the same way. I didn't feel envy anymore. Just, just... friendship. I cared, for once.
Kimber's P.O.V.
I couldn't stop smiling as me and Draco stood there as everyone congratulated us. It was amazing, I was finally married to Draco Malfoy, I was finally a Malfoy. And right now everything was perfect for me. We dance, laughed and smiled the night away, and I couldn't take my eyes off of Draco, and I knew that he couldn't keep his off of me. We were finally a family.
(Something a little special)
Dracos P.O.V
I am finally married to the girl of my dreams. It is amazing. I knew from the way she kept smiling that she was also happy to finally be married. Most people would think that I wouldn't be the type of guy to get tied down, but their wrong. All I can say is that i am happy. And that right now life is perfect.
Sidney's P.O.V.
Me and Neville sat in the alleyway for a long time, just talking mostly about life. He just got done talking about his grandmother and everything, his friends, it seemed like he had a pretty good life in my point of view.
"How did you become a Death...Eater?"
"Well, obviously because of my parents. I didn't have much of a choice really. Of course Bellatrix and Narcissa adored me when they found out my mother had a child. They always kept a close eye on me and made sure I became a Death Eater. The thing is, my parents never did want me to be a Death Eater, they wanted my life to be better, full of friends at Hogwarts. They planned to send me off with someone else, they considered a lot of people but, then. They died. After that I never had a choice. Then I fell in love, and I didn't care anymore. Now. I don't know what to live for," I explained.
"Oh."
I nodded.
"Well, you can hang out with me and my friends when we go back to Hogwarts," he offered.
"Im a Slytherin. I don't think they'll approve," I laughed.
"No. Their not like that. Just if you wanna."
"Thanks," I smiled.
He smiled back. And then I realized the time by a clock by some shop.
"I should get back," I said, standing up.
"Right," he agreed, standing up also.
"Seeyah Neville," I said, and left. Returning to the party.
Kimber's P.O.V.
I was dancing with Draco, when all of a sudden I noticed Sidney walk in. She went over to the dessert bar and got a chocolate frog and then went and sat down. I then noticed that Crabbe was walking over to Sidney, and he was talking to her, then she pulled out her wand and he started backing away, then turned and ran towards the benches.
Sidneys P.O.V
I returned back to the wedding reception and came in, I got a chocolate frog and then walked over to the tables and sat down, pondering over what me and Neville had talked about. I was defiantly going to hang out with them a lot of the time at Hogwarts, but I still wanted to keep my friendship with Kimber, Blaise. . . yes and even Draco.
Then all of a sudden Crabbe walked up to me and said " Um, Sidney, now that Regulus died, i noticed your kind of lonely, do you want to dance?"
" A simple would you like to dance would have done, you didn't have to remind me of Regulus. You little git!" I hissed. Then I started to pull out my wand. Just to scare him.
He started backing away, and then turned and ran.
*5 days before we go to Hogwarts.*
We were in Diagon Alley getting the rest of the things we needed for school. Me, Kimber and Draco, were the only ones that went today. Yesterday Narcissa had come with us. We were going into Gringotts to get the money that we needed, I had the black family key. Regulus had given it to me to carry whenever we went somewhere so i was the last one to have it. And now it was mine. I walked with Kimber and Draco into Gringotts and we were welcomed by a goblin. "We would like to make a withdrawal." Draco told him.
" Do you have you key?" the goblin asked
"Yes, we do."
"How about you." The goblin looked at me.
"Oh, um yeah I do." I answered. The goblin then jumped up off of his tall chair and lead us to our vaults. He brought us to one of the cars and we then got on it, with him. The wind rushed in our hair and our speed increased. Then after a minute of a steep decline the cart started slowing, we then stopped abruptly in front of mine and Regulus vault. I gave the goblin the key and he opened our vault and then gave me back the key. I walked in and looked around. It was filled with gallons and treasures. I didn't really want to take much advantage of his family's fortune so I grabbed maybe two or three bags full of gallons, then saved the rest in its rightful place.
Next was the Malfoy's, which as you could imagine a bunch and bunches of gallons. The vault was the size bigger like two or three vaults put together. Kimber and Draco didn't seem surprised though, they were expecting it. To them it was just one of the many perks of being a Malfoy.
We then went back to the entrance and Neville walked in, looking at Draco a little frightened and then at me and smiled.
"Who's this?" Kimber asked Draco.
"Longbottom," Draco smirked.
"Hey, Neville!" I said all excited.
Draco and Kimber looked at me like I was crazy.
"Me and Neville met the other day," I told him.
"But..but...he hangs out with mudbloods," Draco said, whispering 'Mudbloods'
" And doesn't he hang out with Potter?" Kimber asked me.
"Um, yeah he does. So what?" I sneered
"Well what's going on, this isn't like you?" Kimber asked.
"Uh, nothing. I'll seeyah at Hogwarts Neville," I said and left.
Kimber's P.O.V.
Sidney, dissapparated, back to the Malfoy Manor. I then turned to Draco and said, " What was that all about?" He just shrugged.
"Well, I don't like it. What if she lets something slip to Longbottom, or that Weasley girl? It could ruin us." I said in a little panic.
"Kimber, calm down. Nothing is going to happen. " Draco murmured.
" But Draco, if something does. I know the Dark Lord will have us deal with it, just to punish it, for not keeping her out of 'mischief' " I told him.
" Well, then if it comes to that. We will have to deal with it. And it will be easy." Draco, said.
Me and Draco finished gathering our things at Diagon alley. We went to Ollivander's to have our wands checked. They were in perfect condition. Then we went and got our books, and new quils and robes. I then told Draco that I wanted to walk over to Borgin and Burkes, and he told me that he would meet me there in a minute. So I walked over to Borgin and Burkes to look around. " Oh isn't it the new Mrs. Malfoy? What a pleasant surprise." Borgin said to me.
" Hello, Borgin."
"Is there anything I can help you with Mrs. Malfoy?" he asked me
" No thanks, I was just looking around." I told him
"Okay, if you need anything then just tell me." He said and then walked away.
I walked over to the vanishing cabinet and remembered Draco, having to use it last year. Then i walked over to the counter and started looking at the potions and poisons. There was one called, Felix Feleces and I remembered Slughorn teaching us about it. I decided that it would come in handy, so I asked " Um, Borgin. How much is the Felix Feleces? "
" It is, 5 galleons."
"Okay, I'll take one of those." I handed him 5 galleons and then he gave me the vile of it. There was probably enough for 4 uses. Then all of a sudden Draco came walking in, holding a cage, in it was a Black owl, with bright green eyes. It was gorgeous. He then walked over to me and said, " For you." And he handed me the cage.
" Thank you so much! It is beautiful! " I then sat him down on the counter and gave Draco a big hug and a kiss. " Hmmm, what should I name it." I asked him.
" Um, how about Dutch?" he suggested.
"Hmm, I like it," I said and we disapperated back to the mansion.
*Two Days Later*
Sidney's P.O.V.
We got all of our trunks packed and headed off to the train station. Arriving exactly at 11 o' clock and went through 9 and 3 quarters. We then got onto the train and sat down at the tables.
"Draco, Kimber, Sidney!" Blaise exclaimed. "It's been to long." Blaise shook Draco's hand and hugged me and Kimber.
"Hey Blaise," we all said in unison.
"Well, I heard the news," he said eyeing Kimber and Draco. "You guys got married. How was it? And also sorry about not being there." "It was awesome, way beautiful. Lots of fun," Kimber said.
"Well congrats! Let me see the ring." Kimber held up her hand and his jaw dropped.
"Merlin! That's huge!" he exclaimed.
Kimber smiled and nodded.
"Hey, Ill meet up with you guys later," I said and left the room, finding Neville and chatting with him and Luna and Ginny which I just met.
Kimber's P.O.V.
Sidney had just left and Blaise asked "What's going on with her?"
"She's became friends with Longbottom," Draco sneered.
"Potter's friend?"
"Yeah, she met him in Diagon Alley and decided that they were going to be friends and hang out with them most of the time instead," Draco said.
" And she thinks that we are still going to hang out with her?" Blaise asked incredulously
" Yeah, she does." Draco murmured.
" Well, we just have to be careful when we talk about things around her. You never know if she will tell them, what we are saying." I said. "I say we spy on them before they spy on us."
"See how awesome she is?" Draco laughed. For that, I smiled.
We walked through the train and found Longbottom, Weasly, and Lovegood sitting with Sidney talking and laughing. Suddenly, I felt a pang of loneliness. It was always us and Draco and a lot of the time surrounded by Death Eaters. Just being ourselves. And then I felt like killing all the woopdi - do Gryffindors.
Draco edged the door open a bit so we could hear the conversation without being noticed.
"I never liked Herbology," Sidney said.
"It's really interesting! It's my best class," Longbottom said, Draco rolling his eyes. But everyone managed a quick giggle, except for Weasly.
"Is something wrong?" Lovegood asked."
Weasly looked up at everyone, "Oh, yeah. Just a bit home sick."
"I heard Harry isn't coming this year," Longbottom spilled.
I looked at Draco then, cutting off from the conversation. Draco responded as much as I did.
Sidney's P.O.V.
When we arrived at Hogwarts I felt more happier than I've been in a long time. Renewed.
After I got done packing I plopped down on my bed (which was by Kimber's) and ate some Pumpkin Passies I got from the Trolley. Kimber got done as well and slammed her trunk on the ground.
"Whoa, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing," she answered stubbornly.
"Doesn't seem like it," I mumbled.
Then there was silence. It sounded exactly like it was when we were in the great hall. The only good part was getting to see Snape in charge.
Headmaster.
After that, Kimber finally just stood up and left without saying a word. Obviously something was on her mind.
I glanced at her bed and saw a white envelope that hadn't been sealed yet. So, I picked it up and decided to read it.
Dear Lucius Malfoy,
Today we were just informed that Harry Potter is not returning back to Hogwarts. And it was definatly the truth, he was nowhere to be seen in the Great Hall.
Be sure to mention it before someone goes out and does something stupid.
Oh, and thanks for the new broomsticks.
Draco & Kimber Malfoy.
I couldn't believe it. How could they! How could they listen in on my conversations just for their own benefit? Well, I wasn't having it.
That night, I lay awake till Kimber fell asleep, then retrieved the letter and ripped it up, burning it in the fire downstairs in the Common Room. Then, walking back up I whispered "Oblivate." So, she would forget the more important things such as this today.
Then, sneaking up to Draco's room, I did the same thing. I thought about smacking him, but then I would get into some serious trouble.
After my work was done. I fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
