Never Alone

44. Antidote (Year 5)

   I got to the Zabini manor with my brothers, Eris showed Thedore his room as I walked to mine. She was right I had a dress for tonight's meeting; it was a long sheath dress, satin material, and of course silver. It ruched up near the chest and had a long slit up the side. I walked through my walk in closet looking at my other dresses, I don't know if I should wear something like that dress or find a different one. I found a silver asymmetrical dress, with sleeves that went to my elbows. I can't help but think perfect and to pair it with my silver heels and accessorize it with my emerald snake necklace and earrings. I will be wearing my family crest ring for protection, on the opposite hand of where I get the mark. I decided to shower before hand, I showered quickly and got dressed. I did a charm to dry my hair before I styled it. I pulled the top part of my hair into two little ponytails and ran an emerald ribbon through the two tying them together with a bow. I curled the ends of my hair to make it look more elegant before doing a nude lipstick with silver eyeshadow, mascara, and a silver eyeliner. I put my accessories on except my bracelet and necklace, I'd need help with those, I also need someone to zip this dress up. I walk out of my bathroom into my room and see my brothers on my bed. "Hello brothers whose room this isn't."

"Hey Dei, need help with the zipper and your bracelet, you always struggled with those growing up." I blush that he brought that up and nod for him to help me. He zips up the dress and puts my necklace on for me, Blaise fastened the charm bracelet, which now when I look at it there is a new charm. "You look gorgeous Dei, are you ready for this?"

"Thank you and no, but I don't have a choice. I need to stay strong, I can't let him see weakness and I need to control my metamorphagus powers. Theo, I am sorry about father. I can't believe I killed either, and everyone at the Malfoy manor will know."

"The practical proctor is here, mum wanted me to inform you." Blaise spoke up before leaving.

"Should we go get these practicals done?" I ask Theodore walking out of my room.

"Yeah I think the other three are here as well for theirs."

Walking down the stairs we are greeted by the proctor, "I have five other proctors here as well you will all be doing your practicals simultaneously." We nod and follow our respective proctor to the rooms in which we are taking our exams. "First Transfiguration, you will complete three tasks for this practical, one is turn the animal into a goblet and back, task two is turn vinegar into wine, and third is human transfiguration. I look at the mouse on the table, point my wand at it and say 'Fera verto' The mouse turns into a goblet, no sign of it having ever been a mouse. The proctor examines my work, I point my wand at it and say 'Finite incantem' The goblet reverses to the mouse again. I look to the goblet of vinegar and sigh, this one is too easy. I point my wand at the goblet and say the charm to turn vinegar to wine, before looking at the proctor. "You know that is technically a charm not a transfiguration correct?" He looked dumbfounded and wrote it down, I thought to myself this has to be one of umbridges goons to be that dumb. The final one was a human tranfiguration, I stepped in front of the mirror and changed my entire appearance outfit wise to Emerald green, gave myself olive skin and then transfigured myself back. The rest of the practicals went easily enough, I just hated the herbology one.

"Very well, you will receive your results by owl in the next month." With that they were gone.

"Matt, what do you think of this dress for tonight?"

"Would be better if it was black, my father prefers black." He said causing Draco to laugh along with Enzo and my brothers. "What is so funny?"

I tell him "You father said I can wear black or silver, and only I can. They are laughing because everyone knows I don't have to wear black. Besides this dress does not look good as black watch." I transfigure the dress to black and he cringed, I changed it back quickly "See, told ya."
