The look on Draco's face as Mia ascended the stairs was enough to stop her mid step. He looked.. Mesmerised. And also appeared to have stopped breathing and looked slightly blue in the face. Luckily he soon recovered, giving a quick cough to try and cover up and looked down at the floor.
Originally she'd gone to his room after putting the red dress on and running a brush through her hair before tying it up into a messy but perfectly executed bun, only the older boy hadn't been in there. After checking his whole room atleast twice, Mia had given up and tried to find her way to the dinning room once more. Luckily Draco had just been standing at the bottom of the second staircase waiting.
"Hi" She smiled reaching the last step before moving beside him. There were now several doorways infront of them, and honestly she couldn't remember which way to the dinning room anymore. Taking her gaze from the house, she finally looked at the older boy properly, he seemed fine now. Ok, so he didn't look happy, but he rarely looked anything other than smug or bored. He also wasn't wearing a suit, which was a slight shame, it would've been nice to see him in a suit. Instead the blonde was wearing jeans and a T-shirt, making Mia feel rather over dressed.
"Maybe I should change" She said playing with the hem of the black lace. Why had she thought they would all be wearing smart clothes?
"No" Draco said quickly brushing his hand over hers before turning and walking towards one of the doors. "We don't have enough time.. And you look nice" He added at the end, as if an after thought. Atleast it wasn't an insult she thought running slightly to catch up with him.
She felt even further over dressed as they entered the dinning room. Lucius was sat at the head of the table, obviously, in black slacks and jacket, with a fowl look on his. Where as the woman that was sat beside him- who Mia guessed was Draco's mother looked happy. Well, content atleast. She looked rather pretty too, how on earth had Lucius managed to get her? She wasn't able to even look in the older mans direction as she took a seat next to Draco, so far all her experiences with him hadn't gone.. Well. No one said a word whilst starters were put out, and she got the impression this was how every meal went. Not exactly comfortable silence, but not an awkward conversation. But as soon as the main course was finished and house elves were taking it away, Draco's mother spoke up,
"You're the lovely girl we've been hearing so much about then?" She questioned, and Mia couldn't help but think 'we' actually meant just herself. Draco's relationship with his father didn't seem one where he talked about his friends. Never the less she gave a polite nod, just because his father was an arrogant ass, his mother seemed nice. But just what had her son said to her about Mia?
"What has Draco said about me Mrs Malfoy?" The younger girl questioned, a smile playing on her lips as she looked over at him. The look on his face however made both females in the room laugh,
"Smile darling," She said, commenting on the scowl covering her son's features, before looking to Mia, "And call me Narcissa" That made Lucius make a grunting sound, sort of like disapprovement, which in tern turned Draco's previous scowl to a look of hatred. Well wasn't this a loving family.. By the time desert was about to come, the atmosphere at become so tense everyone either wore a mask of hatred or unease.
"I- uhm. I'm not hungry, I think I'll pass on desert if that's ok?" She questioned looking over at Narcissa, still not being able to glance in the older mans general direction. The blonde woman gave a small nod, keeping her own eyes on the half-eaten desert. "Draco, could you show me back to my room please?" Ok, so honestly, she wouldn't have minded to eat that.. But It was obvious to anyone her friend was getting angrier by the second. Luckily he didn't need asking twice as he immediately stood and exited the room. "Thankyou for the dinner" Mia said quickly as she followed suit, closing the door behind herself.
Letting out a sigh of relief once it was over, she looked over at Draco. He still wore a look of anger, but it was definitely subsiding now he was out of the room.
"Your mother seems nice" She said quietly, linking her fingers within his. He made no reaction, like earlier, though turned to the right and headed up the stairs, back to where Mia presumed the rooms were. "Is that how it always is?" It probably wasn't polite to pry about his personal life with his family, but she couldn't help being curious. Talking seemed to calm him though, as there was no anger in the blondes' voice as he replied,
"Pretty much. Father's usually away on business though" Hopefully he'd go away on business for the rest of the time Mia was here..
