As the holidays enter the world, it was time to visit the Malfoy Manor with my family. I could barely even imagine having to see Malfoy... outside of school. Of course, my parents had to take me with them, even though I told them I was fine with staying home for Christmas. As I put on my dress for the Christmas dinner I hear my mother walk in.
"Oh.. you look so gorgeous my love!"
I gave her a quick smile as it brighten up my mood, and made me forget that I had to encounter Draco this evening.
"Are u sure you want to take me with you? I won't mind staying home this evening.."
"No dear, it's Christmas eve. No child should be alone on Christmas eve! Especially not my little girl.."
I turn to look at the mirror, I looked stunning with this dress. Maybe this evening wouldn't be as horrible as I thought it would. Mother starts to fix my makeup and started pep-talking at me.
"I know you don't want to meet Mr. Malfoy outside of your school days, but it shouldn't be that bad..", she said as she fixes my long gorgeous curls.
"Maybe you're right..."
She hugs me tights as she gave a big happy smile.
"You can let go now, don't want to ruin my hair and makeup would you?", I said while giggling.
"I'll meet you downstairs when you're ready, alright?"
"I will, thanks, mom."
I grab the most comfortable heels that fit the most with my beautiful forest-colored silk dress. As I head out of my room, I grab my black purse to put in a book I've received for my birthday. I walked down the stairs to see my parents waiting for me at the front door.
━━━━━━♡♥♡━━━━━━
I step out of the luxurious car and head to the front of the Malfoy Manor, my parents knock on the front door as an middle-aged woman opens the door.
"Welcome Mr. and Ms. Aphelion! Make yourself at home."
My mother gives the woman a quick hug as we head inside.
"And you must be.. Roselinda right?" the woman asked me nicely.
"Yes, I am. Pleasure to meet you." I said as I reach out my hand to shake hers.
"Don't mind if I ask, can you maybe point me the way to the closest bathroom.. it has been quite a ride." I giggle akwardly.
"Ofcourse! If you head up the stairs it should be on the left."
"Thank you so much, Ms. Malfoy."
"Call me Narcissa darling!"
I gave her a smile as I walk to the bathroom. As I reached the top of the stairs I notice the wonderful hallway, black walls with a powerful green looking rug. I notice there are multiple doors on the left side of the hallway, but decide to just take the first one on the left. When I entered the room I walked into a bedroom that looked so clean as if no one has been living in here. I nosed a bit around the room, when I hear a younger male voice that sounded just like Draco's.
"Already stalking me, Aphelion?"
I swiftly turned around as I notice that I took a step into Draco's room.
"Very funny but I'm not, I was looking for the bathroom but I definitely walked into the wrong room."
He laughs as he looks at me. In my mind this was a miracle, Malfoy that showed me a laugh?
"Don't worry... what are you even doing at my house?"
"Our parents met and decided to have a Christmas dinner together, and I was forced to come with them."
"Makes sense. If you're looking for the bathroom, you could use mine."
He points to a door leading to his own personal bathroom attachted to his room.
"Oh, I didn't know Malfoy could be such a gentle man" I giggled.
"Not by any chance." he scoffs.
His face turns back into an emotionless facial expression, I decided to just go to the bathroom as he left his room to head downstairs. Why did Malfoy actually seem to be nice to me?
As I left the bathroom, I headed downstairs to sit at the table filled with amazing looking food. Of course they didn't make it themselfs, they made their elfs do it for them. I took a seat across from Draco as he stared at me. Why was Malfoy staring at me? Did I do something wrong again? I just decided to ignore it the whole dinner long and thought nothing of it.
It was almost 9:00 PM, and my father decided it was time for us to head home. I hugged Narcissa goodbye as she was one of the sweetest woman I have ever met. I thanked all of them for the food and left the manor.
