You never know

shopping with father (p 1.)

I opened my eyes and slightly sat up in my bed still adjusting to the small amount of light that was let in through my green curtains . I scanned my room my eyes bouncing form the pictures on my wall, to the big mirror on the far side of the room. I laid back down and stared at my ceiling. Looking at the texture of my ceiling always seemed to fascinate me.

As I was laying down I got this feeling, a gut feeling. I didn't know what it was , but I knew it was bad. I rolled over pushing through my covers to see the alarm clock on my nightstand. I picked it up and looked at the red led numbers on the face of it. 6:05. I was about to put clock back down when something caught my eye, a neon pink sticky note stuck to the right of where the clock was . Pink?I hate pink. I thought to myself. I put the clock down and reached over to picked it up, "remember you have school shopping with father at 6:30. DONT BE LATE ELORAH! "

Oh no, I had completely forgotten. I got out of bed and rushed over to my closet. What should I wear.... something nice to go out in, but not to revealing, I dont want to get embarrassed by father or punished. Going out with father was different then with mum, mum didn't really care what I wore and always told me I looked beautiful in whatever clothes I had on . But father was judgemental and would say "I dont want any daughter of mine walking around like that. You'll make me look like a bloody fool". Along with other things that a father should never say to their daughter. I pulled out a white long sleeve shirt and threw it on my unmade bed. "Where is it" I said to myself as I pushed through clothes. " got it " I took out the black V neck dress that mother got me for my fifteenth birthday that summer. The dress went down just above my knees. Perfect for going out with father.

I slipped on the outfit and put on some black socks. I was just about to go into my bathroom to do my hair and makeup when draco barged into my room. He was going on and on about how now he didn't have enough time to get ready. " And how is any of this my fault?" I asked in a snarky tone. "You were supposed to wake me up!"
"I never agreed to that!" I snapped back.
" yes you did! remember when we were sitting by the pond and I told you my alarm clock was broken and you said you would wake me up!" Oh shit I do remember that
"I have no idea what your on about draco, now get out of my room and put some bloody paints on!" He glared at me and stormed off.

I turned to check the time 6:25. Only five minutes until I have to spend the whole day with father. I walked into my bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I started thinking about how I wished I had different features or how I wished I had a better body. Snap out of it Elorah,its not the time for this. I sat on the counter and started putting on mascara, after that some eye liner and blush. I grabbed my hair brush and started brushing out my hair. My hair was always something I liked about myself, straight at the top with bouncy curls at the bottom that fell just over my shoulders perfectly. Not to mention the color, jet black something I had definitely gotten from my mother. I put on my slytherin ring that me and draco got to match our first year and a small silver heart necklace that Hera and Gabriel got me for my birthday.

I ran out of my room knocking on dracos door before running downstairs to let him know I was ready. I got down stairs and ran up to my mother. I tapped her on the back,she was facing away talking to someone but I didn't see who. "what is it deer" she said as she turned around to face me "have you seen my black boots,I've looked everywhere and I just cant find them?"
"Oh um yes I believe that they are but the door where the shoes always are El"
"Oh yeah thanks mum" I turned away and started to speed walk away but she stopped me
"Elorah Rain Malfoy, come back her and meet our guest"
I looked at her and frowned not wanting to greet another one of my parents friends. "Now" she said in that mother like tone that means she not playing around. I walked next to her and looked to the person I was supposed to greet.

A tall boy my age stood in front of me. He was gorgeous, curly brown hair and his eyes were a light brown with gold specks throughout them. I studied his face looking at his features. I was so distracted I didn't realize that he had gotten closer. He took my hand in his and we made eye contact
"its very nice to meet you, I'm mattheo Riddle."
"Elorah" my mother poked me in the ribs waiting for me to answer.
"Oh um..I'm Elorah, it's nice to meet you to."
He smiled slightly and his eyes left mine to look at the grand staircase behind me. My father stood in the center looking down at us
"Hello father" I said with and smile on my face
"Elorah"
"Yes father"
"Where is your brother?"
"Oh um hes uh brushing his teeth"
"Is that so?"
Father walked down the stairs and pushed me aside with his Caine to greet out guest.

Draco came running down the stairs dressed in a white button up, black dress pants and a slytherin tie. As he approached us I scoffed "didn't know we were going to meet the ministry" I whispered to him as he walked past me. "Oh shut up,at least I dont look like a bloody baboon"
"Excuse me? Did you just say I look like a baboon?"
He gave me a dirty look and I swatted him in the arm. Not long after we were headed to diagonally. This should be interesting.
