It was New Years Eve morning. The furious snow that had tumbled onto the Manor grounds was now simply moist pavement. The sky was as cloudy as a old dogs eye but the sun somehow peeked through and shone a bit of light out of the window of my guest bedroom.
I stretched, yawned, and finally sat up. There was only a couple more days of winter break. Today was going to be the most interesting by far. The Malfoy's planned a ball and we were all permitted to attend.
Narcissa gathered a variety of dresses and suits for us to rummage through and wear to the ball. I should've expected there was a ballroom in the enormous house, but I still hadn't got a full house tour yet.
I chose a extravagant ball gown from the pile.
Draco and Blaise both chose black suits and Pansy an elegant emerald dress, as usual.
It took a couple hours to get ready and help prepare for the ball downstairs. But eventually, afternoon creeped up and the job was done. People were arriving in an hour which gave us time to have lunch.
We all sat around the table in our usual spots and the house elves served us with salad followed by a fresh omelette each.
After carefully chowing down our full plates, we touched up our outfits and hair, then made our way back down to the ballroom where a variety of purebloods were arriving.
"Hi," someone said from behind me.
"Hi, Malfoy."
I turned around to face him.
"I didn't know my father was going to set up a ball over break," he half-apologized all while while glancing at my dress.
"That's alright, now you have company," I replied as I smiled and scoped out his suit.
He nodded and we made our way over to the drink station. We requested drinks and the hired bartender quickly poured them and moved on to the next people in line.
"Draco, go say hello to Daphne and Astoria," Lucious said while walking over.
"I'll come," I said.
"No, stay," Lucious demanded.
I froze in my spot and sent a slightly scared glance to Draco who hesitantly walked away.
"Enjoying yourself?" Lucious questioned.
"Yes, sir."
"I hope you do enjoy the ball, there may be times you could come in the near future?"
"If you plan more balls I'd be happy to attend."
"Great. I'm off to greet people."
And with that, Lucious scurried off into the crowd, lightly patting people on the back and saying how lovely it wass for them to make it while I was left alone. I stood still, frozen in place, wondering why Lucious was so interested in me coming to his gatherings.
I shook the thought from my head and attempted to enjoy the rest of my night.
"Afternoon," Blaise greeted while grabbing a drink from the table behind me.
