Voldermort's Grand-Daughter

Chapter 29: Returning to Hogwarts

Lilith and Draco are standing at Kings Cross Station with Severus, getting ready to board the Hogwarts Express. They had already said goodbye to Tom back at the manor and to Draco's parents a little earlier on the platform.

They hear someone from behind them, "Ahem".

The three of them turn around and see a woman with red hair, with an angry look on her face directed at Severus.

"I heard from my son that you have a daughter, Severus". She turns to Lilith, "And I'm guessing that must be you".

Severus pulls Lilith and Draco behind him, "You'll be wise to not take any tone or attitude with my daughter, Molly".

She huffs, "You don't think there is some bias here?".

Severus signs, "Do you object to Draco being allowed at Hogwarts?".

She looks at him confused, "Of course not, he's not your son".

"But he is my godson. Would there not be a bias there as well, according to you?". 

She leans back slightly and starts stuttering her words. Lilith and Draco start giggling to each other while Ron and Ginny, who are standing behind their mother, start glaring at the two.

Draco grabs Severus' arm, getting his attention, "This seems like it may take a while, Uncle Sev. Can Lia and I go wait on the train?".

He nods at Draco, "Of course. If I don't find you guys on the train, I'll see you at school". 

The two nod, grab their bags and start walking towards the train. They find an empty compartment, place their bags at the top storage and sit across from each other. Draco knew that Lilith would not want to wait around and be around the Weasleys more than she already has to. The door to the compartment opens and the two look to see Blaise.

Lilith smiles, "Hey Blaise. How was your break?".

He smiles back, "It was good. I actually ended up bumping into someone when my family and I went out to dinner".

Draco asks, "Oh yeah, who was it?". 

"Daphne. She was telling me that she overheard her parents, specifically her father, talking about officially arranging a marriage for her or her sister".

Lilith squints her eyes, "Really? But they're both so young. Plus Daphne told me that her sister was two years younger than us, and their father is already trying to marry them off?".

Blaise nods, "That's what she told me. Apparently you, Draco, are one of the people they are considering".

Draco chokes on air, "What? Why me?".

Blaise shrugs his shoulders, "She didn't say but if I had to guess, it would probably be because of your family's status amongst other pureblood families, not to mention his position in the ministry". 

Lilith turns to Draco, an angry look on her face, "That cannot be allowed. Dray, we need to talk to your father about this. Maybe he can knock some sense into Daphne's father. Plus, daddy told me that Uncle Luc promised you that he would not force you into an arranged marriage".

Draco nods, "He did and you know how my father is with keeping promises. We'll definitely need to write to him or maybe just tell Uncle Sev and he can pass the message".

Just as the three finish the conversation, they feel the train start to move, meaning it is now leaving Kings Cross Station. Lilith looks through the compartment window to see if Severus is still on the platform, talking to whoever this 'Molly' person was. She didn't see him anywhere, so she assumed that he made it onto the train.

She leans back onto her seat and turns to the two boys in front of her. The three continue to catch up on the events that occurred through the holidays, Draco and Lilith telling Blaise about the New Years Ball.
