CHAPTER-7

The Greengrass manor was, unsurprisingly, as dim-lit and elegant looking as possible. From the Serpent Green Roses to the Lavish stone-work on the Green marble floor. Everything was exquisite. But, of course, this was a really 'normal' looking manor for us 'Purebloods'.

As I walked up to the door and started to twist the emerald diamond door knob, Keres stopped me by harshly grabbing my shoulder. She scowled at me.

"oh belle! you're so silly! people like us do not just do that filthy muggle actions, we never do that. Instead we do this." she said haughtily and pointed her Ivory black wand at the wooden door while whispering a spell that made the the door knob break in pieces. Okay. She's definitely a maniac.

I heard a little girly shriek coming from inside the manor as a old, pale-looking woman scurried towards us with a scowl on her face that turned into a pale shocked face after she saw Keres. I recognized her as the woman who came to our Manor yesterday. It's hilarious how her personality went from poised to completely terrified.

"O-oh Keres! What a lovely surprise! We were all waiting for y-you only-ah is this Miss Malfoy? You can go join Gwen and Diadora Dear"- "No, absolutely not. She will stay with me and Lucifer." As the old woman, that was probably Mrs Greengrass stammered, she was cut off by Keres monotonously, who was now staring at her dead in the eye. I would have laughed if I wasn't terrified of her at that moment too.

"o-oh? well that's o-okay with me. Lucifer and Rodolphus are with Lucius I will get them" she stuttered as she scurried away like a puppy, to get Lucifer. Oh I really don't wanna meet that brat. 

"Oh let's go find your love, Lucifer!" she maniacally yelled, which made me gag in my mind, obviously it would very unlike to gag when you're a 'Pureblood'. I just monotonously followed her inside.

The manor was in-fact, really beautiful and enchanting, it had green rose marble floor which was be-witched to have snakes come and go every then and now. the walls were a cream white texture with photos of their pure-blood Ancestors. The kitchens were decorated with green fairy lights and the walls we adored with Greek wizarding inscriptions. Greengrasses were one of a kind really.

As I was observing, I didn't notice Lucifer and Rodolphus coming from the black coloured Portal door. as I noticed both of them, I saw Lucifer winking at me from the corner of my eye, and for a ridiculous reason , I felt my cheeks getting red. 

"ah! Lucifer! where have you been? Isabelle was wanting to meet you!" Keres whined from behind, which earned her a disgruntled 'no I wasn't' from me.

But obviously, Lucifer pretended not to hear me and smirked in the same fashion her mother would. As he was about to say something, my 'lovely' brother started to whine.

"hey mate, c'mon , you don't wanna spend time with my brat of a sister." he grumbled, staring at me dead in the eye, which he thought was scary but to me, it looked foolish. But anyways, to Keres it wasn't, because she sharply turned to my brother. Oh I'm gonna surely enjoy this.

"Watch your mouth , foolish boy, Isabelle is powerful more than you can ever imagine. And you? you are a coward little boy. Get out of my sight." She spat venomously and scoffed afterwards. As much as I wanted to burst out laughing at the terrified face of my brother, I was thoroughly shocked at how Keres knows about my powers. Yes, she was my god-mother but even my own mother doesn't know about my secret magical abilities. Like how I could non-verbally cast spells at a very young age , or that I can speak Parseltongue, or even that I'm a Metamorphmagus. Something was fishy.

As my Brother turned pale and scurried away, I thought lucifer was gonna follow him, but clearly he chose to stay. I turned to Keres , which I thought would still be mad , but she actually was, grinning

"Oh this is perfect! now I would leave both of you , I know you are dying to talk to him belle!" she cooed , which made me scoff.

"You know I'm never Keres" I said to her , staring at her dead , in her ivory black eyes which made me shiver as I broke the eye-contact.

"Oh don't be shy now! I have to go now have fun!" she winked and laughed maniacally which made me gag out loud and to Lucifer to snort while looking at me.

As she was gone outside , probably to torture another innocent little creature , I felt a need to turn to Lucifer because merlin knows why. I turned to him with prominent cold glare, which he returned with a flirtatious wink.

"Y'know Persephone , we should start hanging out,  we would marry each other anyways when we get older, that's all my mother wants" he said , casually leaning to the black coloured chair beside him.

"Never , I would rather eat the Venomous Tentacula than marry you and stop calling my by my middle name" I spite out , rather harshly , but I didn't care. he raised his eyebrows.

"Or rather marry that traitor black? you fancy him don't you?" He said suggestively which made my cheeks hot.

"I don't fancy him, we're just friends." I muttered clear enough for him to hear. He chuckled at me.

"Oh? then why do you look like you want to snog him every time you see him?" He said , which surely made me blush so much because I saw him smirking at me.

"Never. we're cousins I'm not a disgusting person like you and your mother." I spit out , confidently.

"Awfully confident aren't you?" he said , sauntering up towards me.

"I can kill you before you have a chance to get to your feet. skills like that do wonders for a persons self-confidence." I said now taking a step toward him. He smirked.

"You will never have the confidence to kill me" He said, now being just inches away from me.

"oh I have you will never know if I have a knife in my cloak's pocket that is ready to be aimed at you" I whispered , as I took out the small red coloured knife from my cloak's pocket. As he saw it. he chuckled and backed away. as he started to walk towards the door-way , he suddenly stopped and turned to me , with a grin on his face.

"Now I know why my mother thinks you're so powerful and so much like her. You really are like your middle name , have a terrible day Persephone" as he left , I found myself in a alone , confusing state which I have always got me into because of him.

"was I really evil?"
