His Dark Princess

Chapter 31

We got to the manors and I was scared to go in and see his parents. "You will be fine." He said looking at me, I smiled at him as we entered the house. It was very cold but beautiful, I looked around and I noticed a picture of Draco and his mum. I was pretty sure he noticed I spotted the picture because he grabbed my hand and took me into the dining room, "we're here!" he yelled as we entered the dining room. As he yelled I saw Narcissa and Lucius entered the room, "You must me Athena! Draco has talked a lot about you." Narcissa said while hugging me, She was a lovely woman and I could tell she liked me by the way she talked to me and hugged me. "Yes. Hello, nice to meet you, Mrs. Malfoy." I said, returning the hug, "Call me Narcissa, dear. this is Lucius, you probably have met him already." As she said that Lucius gave me a dirty look as he extended his hand out to give me a handshake. I decided to smile at him and return the handshake, Draco noticed the tension because he grabbed my waist and pulled me away to take a seat. Dinner was lovely, Narcissa had done an amazing job. "Narcissa the dinner was lovely!" I said while picking my glass up and taking a sip of my drink, "thank you, dear. Well tell me, how's school?" She asked, "It's actually good. I've been having such an amazing time with my friends." I said looking at Draco and smiling at him, she was about to say something but Lucius beat her to it and decided to talk about my family. "How's your family?" As he asked me that Draco hit the table with his hand, "Don't father" he said sternly. "It's okay Draco," I say, taking his hand and responding to Lucius' question, "they are wonderful!" I smiled at Lucius and looked down at my lap, I knew he was going to bring them up and say rude things, but I think it best not to entertain his questions for long. "Well, it's a shame they don't know about you and Draco and how you're working with us." As he said that I looked at Draco who was already looking at his dad and giving him a dirty look. "Yes they would be very disappointed in me but I love your son a lot and this was my decision, not Draco's." I said being proud of what I just said, Draco squeezed my hand and I could tell he was surprised I just said that. I looked at Narcissa who was giving me a big and lovely smile, I looked back at Lucius who was looking at me and he got up from his seat and walked to mine. "Well if that's the case then I'll expect you to come over next week. I'll tell Draco the details and he will send you a letter." He said and then walked out the room, Narcissa got up and started to pick up the plates, I looked at Draco and he was smiling at me. I smiled back and decided to help Narcissa pick up the plates, she took the plates out of my hand and put them back on the table. "Dear, he never does this to anyone! I know he can be harsh but he just has to get to know you. He loved you, I know it! I can't wait to see you next week and we for sure have to sit down and talk one day!" She said while picking up the dishes and putting them on the sink. I turned around and noticed that Draco wasn't there anymore, so I decided to go look for him. I was going up the stairs and I saw so many baby pictures of Draco, he was such a cute baby. "Awww!" I said while looking at a picture of Draco helping his mum with dinner. "Athena! there you are!" I turned around and saw him standing at the top of the stairs. "Sorry Love, I came to get something for you." He said while coming down the stairs to where I was. "Draco no, I can't let you send all your money on me." I said as I noticed the bag he had in his hand, "Yes I can. You're my girlfriend and you deserved to receive gifts from me." He said while walking next to me, as we got down the stairs, he took me to the library and it was huge! We sat down on the sofa that was there and he handed me the bag, I opened it and saw books, a picture of us and a beautiful emerald dress. "Draco! No no, I can't accept this." I said handing him the bag, but he wouldn't take it! "Athena, take it. It's yours, you have to get used to me giving you gifts all the time." he said, while I placed the bag on the floor, "What's the dress for?" I asked. "When you were talking to mum, I went to go talk to my dad and he loves you! He will be hosting a party here at the manors and he wanted me to give you this dress and invite you. Will you do me the honor of being my date to the party?" I smiled at him and I was very happy that Lucius liked me. I knew he didn't really like anyone in the Weasley family but I was different from the rest of my family. "He really loves me? And yes, I would love to be your date!" I responded. 

Sounds like everything went well with Lucius! Let's hope it continues!🤞
