"Mr. Malfoy, I think it's best if I go now!" Gwyneth croaked, trying to forget what just happened right now. Lucius thought that she would kiss him, but he now knew that she was going to play a game. He confessed his feelings towards the young Weasley girl. "Miss Weasley, when is your birthday?" Lucius asked, also pretending that nothing just happened. He loved this. He loved her. Gwyneth took a deep breath and grabbed all of her strength to look at him. Eye to eye.

"August 23, Mr. Malfoy..." She answered, her face was all red like a tomato. Lucius clicked his tongue and remembered something. "Are you and Mr. Percy Weasley one day apart?" He asked, hoping that she would speak so that he could hear her voice once again. She nodded and she rushed out of his office with a flustered expression on her face. Lucius smiled, she would be 18 soon... Just 3 more months. She would be starting her internship during June too, oh, he wanted to spend so much time with her.

Gwyneth arrived back to Hogwarts and she saw Ophelia and William waiting for her by the gate. "Guess what? Sirius Black has been caught! But, then he disappeared! Someone helped him escape once again. The Ministry was planning to talk to you because you weren't in the castle..." William told the Weasley girl, and all Gwyneth could do was smack her hand on her forehead and this day wouldn't have gotten worse.

"Miss Weasley, where were you today?" Minister Fudge asked, eyeing her with his arms crossed. Gwyneth wanted to cry, if she told them that she was with Lucius Malfoy. They will grow suspicious... But, she wondered if she could tell them her Auror Internship. "I was in the Malfoy Manor, discussing with Mr. Malfoy about my Auror Internship role!" She said in a jolly-laced tone. 'Way to look innocent.'

The door suddenly opened to reveal Lucius Malfoy with his cane. Her breath started to become heavy, "Miss Weasley was with me, Minister Fudge." He told the old man. He looked at Lucius until he cowered away and left her be. She sighed and wondered what she did to deserve this kind of day, she didn't realize that Lucius was walking right beside her. "Did they hurt you in any way, Miss Weasley?" Lucius tried his best not to show worrisome in his voice.

"No, they didn't. Just made me a little nervous, that's all... Mr. Malfoy."

"You can call me Lucius, Miss Weasley." He told her, she looked at him and finally... He never saw her genuinely smiling towards him. His heart finally skipped a beat. "Oh! Mr. Malfoy, you're back here!" A masculine voice shouted to the other side of the hallway. Gwyneth shifted her gaze to a brown haired boy, who seemed to be older than her, but not that old. "Ah. Mr. Hall, how is your internship going on?"

The boy put a thumbs up and Gwyneth swore to herself that she saw the boy biting his lip. She narrowed her eyes and finally, she got the gist. "Mr. Hall, this would be your new mate this summer. Her name is Gwyneth Weasley."

"Hi, I'm Gwyneth." The girl took her hands out.

"My name is James! Nice to meet you!" He shook her hand and smiled.

Lucius coughed, not liking when his property was being touched by another person. James left, waving his hand to both of them. But, Gwyneth could tell the boy was in love with Lucius. There was something stuck in her chest when she realized that, she didn't like the feeling at all. Her jaw was clenching, her hands were forming a fist, but why was she feeling like this when she knew that she wasn't in love with Lucius? Was she denying her feelings towards Draco's father? She sighed to herself.

"Are you alright, Miss Weasley?"

"You can call me Gwyneth, sir. I think it's best if I go back to Hogwarts. Goodbye, Lucius."

Once again, his heart fluttered when Gwyneth said his name.
