The Untouchables

Year 1 Chapter 8

As Erin arrived home, her mother has informed her about the activities she had signed her up for. She had ballet, piano, and painting lessons throughout the whole summer. Erin didn't mind doing those, but there's a small part in her who just wanted to do nothing the whole summer.

She had only been home for a day and she was already bored. Someone suddenly appeared in the floo network, it was Blaise with Mrs. Zabini. "Oh my look how gorgeous!" Mrs. Zabini greeted Erin with a kiss on the cheek. Her mother then walked into the drawing-room immediately greeting Mrs. Zabini.

Erin looked at Blasie confused about why they're here. "The four of us are going shopping," Blaise said. Like his mother, he too is interested in fashion. "Let's go children, there are many shops to visit!" Mrs. Zabini said and the four of them went into the floo network. They arrived in wizarding Paris, the best shops and boutiques were in Paris.

But Erin was more interested in the food more, she couldn't wait to eat macarons but first, they shop! They entered a boutique Blaise and Erin's mothers already saw something to buy. Erin was browsing the clothes with Blaise. "Will this look good on me?" she asked Blaise. She was holding up a plum-colored dress, Blaise looked at it "Yes, but you should get the green one."

"Why?" the girl asked, "Draco's favorite color is green," Blaise said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Yeah so?" Erin was genuinely confused. "I just think Draco will like the dress better on you if it was green" Blaise shrugged

"But, I don't care about what Draco thinks about the dress. He's not the one who's going to wear it." She said but Blaise wasn't paying attention. They spent 20 more minutes in the boutique, Erin ended up buying the plum dress and two sweaters. They were on their way out to go to another boutique when a bunch of cameras flooded them.

Blaise swung his arm around her shoulder to help guide her, their mothers were skilfully avoiding the camera. The two children went to another shop to avoid the cameras, Erin guessed that their faces will be in the daily prophet tomorrow, with her family's status and Blaise's mother being a celebrity in both the wizarding and muggle world it was no longer a surprise when the media follows them.

The following day Erin did saw the article about them in the Daily Prophet, but what was weirded out by it, they wrote that she and Blaise were betrothed to each other which made her laugh. They were only 12! How could they be betrothed already?

It was absolutely ridiculous. Later that day she got an owl from Draco. He wrote how absurd the daily prophet was, he promised that his father will surely see to the situation on hand. Erin wrote back saying that it wasn't necessary, it was just gossip and everyone knew that she was too young to be betrothed to anyone. The week flew by quickly and Erin found herself now engrossed with her summer activities.

She had a ballet class, she was wearing a black leotard, a skirt, pink tights, and pointe shoes. Her ballet master was running late today so she did her stretches in advance. A room in their mansion was turned into a ballet studio for her, the walls were now mostly mirrors, and a bar was placed on the side.

While her ballet master still hadn't arrived yet she wanted to try to do a grand jeté. She stood on one side of the room and did one horizontal jump with a split midair, she landed gracefully on her feet she smiled and twirled proud of herself. "Woah.." she heard someone say. She looked at the door and saw Draco standing there, she now felt conscious of his presence.

"I didn't know you were coming today." she told Draco "I came here to personally give you an invitation for my birthday." Draco smiled and handed her an envelope, the two started to chat about how their summer was so far but it was cut short when Erin's. ballet instructor came
