17. Christmas Dinner🎄🍽️

(Draco's Pov)
December 24th
It was Christmas tomorrow.

Sure I get a bunch of presents, but that's it.
It's not like one of those movies, where the family's huddled around the tree. Or the parents are drinking hot chocolate on the couch.

My Christmas isn't warm, and cozy.

I've gathered a few screenshots between Lucas and other girls.

Amelia said she'll meet me tomorrow before she goes to Lily's house for Christmas.

(Amelia's Pov)
The next day
It's Christmas! But I'm actually not that excited.
I'll be stuck in a house with Lucas all night.

But first I'm going to the Malfoy manor.
I have voice memos between Lucas, and other girls. Lily should recognize his voice.

I arrived at the address, and gasped at the manor. I was pretty rich, but Draco was filthy rich. There's clearly a difference.

I walked down the cobbled pathway, and rung his doorbell. Even the ding sounded classy.

The door opened, and a women answered.

"Hello dear, who are you?" She asked.
Her voice was soft.

"Hi! I'm Amelia. Is Draco here?" I asked.
Suddenly, a tall man with long white hair walked over. These must've been Draco's parents.

"I'm sorry who are you?" He asked.
"I'm his um, friend." I said.

"No worries, come on in. And happy Christmas by the way." Said the women.

"Thanks, you too!" I said back.
I followed her in, and she lead me to the living room. Draco's house was strange.

It was comforting, but cold.
And not in a temperature way.

"I'll grab Draco." Said the man.
He left the room, and the women smiled at me.

"Sorry about him. It's just strange seeing one of Draco's friends. He's never invited them to the manor. He goes out with them, but Lucius and I've never actually met them. Sometimes we think he's lying." She said.

"He's not lying I see him with friends at Hogwarts all the time." I said.

"Excuse my manners. I'm Narcissa, Draco's mother. And the other man is Lucius, his father.
Now let me grab you some tea, sit tight."

Narcissa left the room, and I couldn't help but smile. Narcissa is a very lovely women.

Draco must take after his father.
The door opened, and in walked Draco.

"So you found voice memos?" He said.
"Yeah, you found screenshots?"
"Yeah." He said.

Narcissa walked back, with two mugs.
"Here you go darlings. Lucius and I will be in the kitchen. If you need anything let me know."

"Thank you mother."
"Thanks Mrs. Malfoy."

She smiled, and left the room.
"You're mothers wonderful." I said.
"Yeah. My father isn't." He laughed.

I laughed back, and he sat closer to me.

"This is after the Halloween party." He said.
He handed me his phone, and I read the screenshots.

Message to Lucas:
I'm ready to leave the party, where are you?

Message from Lucas:
I see you I'm on my way.

Message to Lucas:
Marissas here too. Be sneaky.
Lily might see.

Message from Lucas:
Don't worry I'll make some excuse if we get caught. She trusts me.
