The Malfoys

The malfoys ball (y5)

I made my way to narcissas room as tradition goes and to get ready for the ball.

"Are you ready?" She smiled holding out two glasses of Prosecco.

"Yeah I guess" I replied putting on a fake smile.

She handed me a glass and I swallowed the whole thing. I would take anything at the moment to calm my nerves.

"You might want to slow down" she laughed as she gently handed me my dress.

I got changed and folded my clothes.

I caught a glance of myself in the mirror.

I looked different. It could be the dress, but it could also be the lack of sunlight and being confined to a single room for over a month.

I opened the door to a gleaming narcissa.

"You truly do look incredible y/n"

"Thanks" I blushed looking down.

I moved to the chair in-front of her and sat down.

" you've grown up so much y/n sometimes I forget your still a kid"

"But I guess you didn't have much of a choice"
Her face soften into a melancholy stare.

"This year has been a lot" I smiled slightly.

"But dracos been trying to help" my comment brought back her soft smile.

" speaking of -we should probably hurry up he'll probably be waiting"

She waved her wand and my hair elegantly folded into a pretty pattern.

I closed my eyes as she flicked her wand once again and opened them to see myself fully done up.

"Perfect" she projected her infectious smile in addition to a mischievous wink.

She guided me to the door.
" I'll see you soon"

"Thank you narcissa for everything"

I walked alone to my room where I found the door was sightly ajar.

"Draco I am your aunt and you will do well to remember that"

"Maybe if you just showed her some decency-" he argued back in anger.

"She doesn't deserve it...You know deep down that if she had a choice right now she would choose to run"

"Fair enough with the way you've treated her"

" don't let her distract you Draco!"

"Get out!" He growled.

"Excuse you"

"Get out. Y/n's coming and I don't want you near her anymore"

"She's already here, aren't you my dear?" I could feel her smirk.

I stepped into the room. What else could I do ?

"I was just about to knock" I mumbled.

" of course - I'll see you at the party Draco"

She walked straight passed me with her trademark smirk.

"I really was going to knock"

"It's ok" he's said holding back a smile.

"What?" I couldn't help the small subtle smile that creeped on my face.

" nothing - did you pick the dress?"

" no your mum did ? She thought it looked nice"

" and you disagree?" He asked in response to the face I made.
