They would nod to the other in a silent greeting before returning to the book they were reading at the time. The only sound between them is the sound of pages being turned), Quidditch matches were going better than ever, classes were going as normal, Salazar was the same as always, and Grace would often go to the ROR in the 3rd-floor corridor.

Right now she was sitting in the Slytherin common room silently reading a book about advanced potions making. She was interrupted by an annoying blonde boy resting his head on her lap and taking her book from her.

She glared at him and he gave her an innocent smile in return.

"Stop reading for a while Grace. Let's talk or do something fun" he whined.

"Hush Draco. Stop whining and let me read in peace"

"Graaacceeee" he whined.

"Oh for Salazar's sake Draco what do you want?" She said pushing him off of her and onto the ground.

He sat up and said."I- well I know how much you hate those muggles and how you'll probably stay at Hogwarts for Yule so I wanted to invite you to my manor for Yule"

She raised an eyebrow." And do your parents know you're inviting me to their manor for Yule?"

Draco paled." Well um, they don't... but I'm sure they won't mind. They'll probably love it. Grace we've been looking for you for years!"

"Alright fine." she huffed. "I'll come to your manor for Yule"

Draco jumped up from the couch, squealing in excitement, Grace looked at him with amusement in her eyes along with fondness.

It had been three days since she had arrived at the Malfoy manor and their reactions to seeing her were... emotional to say the least. Narcissa had cried and hugged the girl so tight that she couldn't breathe. Lucius Malfoy the man who was known for his steel cold Pureblood mask, let his mask slip and shed a few tears before hugging the small girl.

They had treated her like she was family and for the first time since Grace had left the founder's, she felt like someone wanted her and cared for her.

She didn't feel awkward with the Malfoy, actually, she fit in right away it was as if they had been living together like this for years and Grace found that she absolutely loved it.

Tomorrow was the Yule ball and though Grace absolutely did not want to go to the ball, one glare from Narcissa Malfoy and puppy dog eyes from Draco were enough for her to change her decision.

Right now she was on her way to a Wizarding market in Paris to go buy a dress with Narcissa. When they arrived at l'allée du paradis Narcissa led her to a shop named la boutique de selene. On the way, she bumped into a girl. The girl looked to be fourteen years old and was quite beautiful (Grace believed that she might be part human). She had silvery-blonde hair and eyes a dark blue color. She apologized to Grace in rapid French before she ran off.

Narcissa helped Grace stand and started doting on her asking if she was alright. Grace assured her that she was alright. The two started making their way to the shop but not before Grace snuck a look down the path the girl had disappeared. Grace had a feeling that they would meet again.
