As we sat by the dining room I felt myself get nervous, my parents and my sister sat on one side, my friends in the middle and then the Malfoy's on the other side, Mattheo was next to me holding my hand tightly.

"Well then Mattheo, what do you do for work?" My mother asked, as if she wanted a reason to pick at us, I grabbed his hand tighter as he began to speak "Me and Bella work as Aurors at the ministry, Misses Parkinson" he replied proudly. My mother rolled her eyes "is there something wrong about it Mother?" I asked, annoyed by her bullshit.

"It's just—" she stuttered, struggling to find the words of what she wanted to say, I chuckled at her pathetic-ness, it just shows she wants to find every single flaw in everything we do.

"We're really proud of Bella" Narcissa said, smiling brightly at me, I smiled back, Narcissa was like the mother I never had.

"Thank you, Narcissa" I said politely and then looking at my mother whom looked embarrassed, served her right. She hid it quite well though.

"I-I'm proud of you to darling" my father spoke up, my eyes widened at his kindness, he had never said nor been this nice to me, I almost spilled my drink because of the shock "Oh- thank you father" I replied, my mother rolled her eyes.

The other's were talking amongst us, I could feel my mother starring at me, looking for a mistake, I felt pressured, which resulted in my hands shaking terribly.

Mattheo noticed and tried to calm me down.

"Misses Parkinson, may I say that you've raised a beautiful daughter, Bella has helped Draco with a lot of his problems, and we are so thankful for her" Narcissa spoke up, my mother seemed surprised and Pansy looked tense, as if she wasn't used to this attention being on me. My father on the other hand smiled brightly

"Well—"

"Oh really!" My father interrupted my mother "Yes indeed!" Narcissa said "I never noticed it" my mother replied ruthlessly, I sighed heavily trying not to have a big reaction "Maybe because you never cared about me" I said, my tone stern and filled with attitude, it's what she deserved, for treating me like nothing for these past 18 years.

"Excuse me?!" she exclaimed making everyone around us stop talking, my father turned to face her, his face red with embarrassment.

"Honey, please she invited us for dinner, give her some respect" my father said hopelessly.

"Respect?! I'm her mother—"

"Well you haven't been a mother to her!" My father exclaimed, I felt myself get tears in my eyes, all these new hormones were getting the best of me.

"I have to go to the restroom" I said quietly and walked out immediately, I almost ran up to my room, feeling the tears on the edge of falling, my mother had to ruin everything. Of course she did, it's what she always did.

Mattheo pov;

I felt anger fill my veins, her mother was terrible absolutely terrible, no wonder she was so nervous, all her mother did was to point out every single flaw we had.

Bella had run out of the room, Adrienne and Elenor on her tail, her parents and Pansy were arguing, I had had enough.

"Enough!" I yelled as I smashed my hands on the table making everyone flinch "One evening! We wanted to have one fucking evening where we could have our families and friends over for dinner!" I exclaimed.

"You are making a mistake with that disgraceful girl Mattheo!" Bella's mother exclaimed "You could do so much better, perhaps Pansy would be the right fit" I saw red.
