Yes, yes. this is a very short chapter. Lately, I've been feeling a little run down, and I'm having a hard time working on this story. Every time I get something done, I start hearing French music. O.O I just don't know how this story will turn out. Every coupling I've tried out makes the story WAY different. So I have decided to put it to vote later in the story. Just review and put your favorite V/? couple. Also, story ideas are welcome. Now if you'll excuse me, on with the story!
Draco's P.O.V
Draco was eating breakfast with his parents and waiting for Victoria when Estelle entered the dining room.
"Estelle, you know you're not allowed in here." Lucius said, sipping his orange juice. She flinched and bowed her head.
"Forgive me, Master Malfoy, but Victoria's sick. She has a temperature and i don't think she can come down to breakfa-" Draco bolted from his seat and ran up the stairs to Victoria's room. She was lying in bed, her eyes closed. He could hear her soft, gasping breath as he moved her hair out of her face. Her face was ashy and her skin felt clammy.
"VIctoria?" he whispered to her. her eyes fluttered open and stared at him feverishly.
"Hi, Draco." She rasped, smiling weakly at him. "Aren't you supposed to be in bed?"
"It's morning, Tori. You missed breakfast again."
"Really? Oh, good. i don't feel very hungry." She closed her eyes and sighed. "I'm tired Draco. Can i just sleep today?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, good." A soft tune escaped her. "'So follow your frown'...."
"'Tori'? Don't go to sleep just yet. i have something for you" her eyes half opened to see what Draco had put in her hand. it was a small silver locket with an emerald snake hanging by a delicate silver chain. She cracked it open with her fingernail, to see the pictures of her mother and father. "I got it from the vault. Apparently, it was Salzar Slytherin's wife's. i thought you might like it." Her smile glowed brighter.
"Draco you didn't have to do this."
"I did. Your very special to me, Tori." She reached up and touched his cheek.
"I know."
