THE MALFOYS didn't stay for too long after the oh so great news we received and I'm not really in the mood to talk to my mother that's why I locked myself into my room, flipping through the pages of my potions book in my pajamas already. It's really hard to distract myself, the earlier events repeating themselves in my head. My mother and Lucius Malfoy? Also it was weird having an actual conversation with Draco Malfoy even if it was only short. He seems like he went through a lot and is distancing himself from others to protect himself. Not gonna lie, I've been watching him sometimes, I mean how could I not? He's this mysterious and popular guy, the whole School knows who he is, always walking around with his fellow slytherins. And not like it matters, he's a looker too.
I also know he's talented in every class, getting the best grades without doing shit for it. At least that's what I think since he spends his free time on either quidditch, parties or shagging girls. This boy is going to be my family now?
"Goodnight, Gwen." My mother's voice snaps me out of my thoughts. "Goodnight." I respond through the door and push my book off my bed before closing my eyes.

Days have now passed and I've been spending my time on reading and gardening a lot. I have my own spot in our garden which I take care of whenever I can, it's really calming and I've got nothing better to do anyways. Mother thinks I'm slowly getting used to the thought of my new step-father, not like I could do anything about it. She told me we'll be going over to the Malfoy Manor to live there at least until we return back to hogwarts so we can bond or something like that. I owled Luna the other night just to tell her everything and at first she thought I was joking. I wish.
"Gwendolyn, are you ready to go? Don't get yourself all dirty now, we can't be late. What will they think of us?" The woman calls out for me as I tilt my head to look at her from the bench Malfoy and I were sitting on a few days ago. "Coming..." I mutter.
"Wonderful. Our stuff is already on it's way to the Manor. I'm not gonna comment on what you're wearing right now." I can tell she's actually excited, she's half smiling even though I know she hates the short skirt that I'm wearing with my baby blue button up. Grabbing her arm, she apparates us to the huge front door of the intimidating house. After knocking on it, a tiny elf opens the door for us and politely greets us before letting us inside.
"Master Malfoy is still in his study, but please, Libby prepared some tea." The little elf says as she leads us into a beautiful room. I don't really know what to say so I just look around and take a seat while Libby serves us some mint tea, my favorite.
"Lovely here, isn't it?" Mother asks me and I just nod, taking a sip.
"Looks like you're making yourselves at home already." A deep voice joins us, Lucius Malfoy. He walks up to us and kisses my mother's cheek from behind her chair. "Libby! Lead Gwendolyn up to her room, I'm sure she's curious about it already." He calls out. The elf nervously nods and looks up at me before she starts walking out of the room in hopes I would follow her, which I do.
After walking up the stairs, she leads me into a beautifully decorated room. Huge windows, a little fireplace, not too many different colors but soft blue and pink tones on the walls and carpet. A balcony with a breathtaking view. "Thank you, Libby."
"Oh please, Miss Johnson doesn't have to thank Libby." "Call me Gwen, please Libby." I respond, smiling brightly at her. Maybe I could get used to this. Libby gladly nods her head and with a quick snap to her fingers, she's gone. As soon as I'm alone, I decide on opening up the doors to the balcony so I can have a look outside. Gosh, the garden is beautiful. Maybe Mr.Malfoy would let me have a spot for my own too?
"Like the view? I sure do." A voice suddenly makes me turn around. Of course it was Malfoy, already eyeing me up and down just like the last time he saw me.
