Riana's POV

It's time for the first Hogsmeade visit of the year. I will be getting blood pops for myself, along with Raquelle and Sean. I am getting us each a container and have already ordered them. Just have to collect and pay for them. Anyway, I got a message from my uncle. We will be hosting this years Christmas Ball, which means we will be hosting it at our family's castle. Which he is having cleaned for the occasion. Anyway, he told me to invite Draco. But I haven't seen him and I am not owling him. Besides, I still have time to ask him. It's only October, after all.

"Ok, you two be sure to get started on your homework and I shall read them when I get back" I tell Raquelle and Sean.

"Which will be when?" Sean asks me.

"A few hours, lunch time at the latest" I state.

"Does that mean we can hang out with our friends this afternoon if we get our homework done?" Raquelle asks me.

"Yes" I state and they cheer. "Anyway, I gotta go meet the others. Be good" I tell them. Before leaving and heading for the great hall. On the way, I bump into Draco.

"Oh Riana, hi" he says sheepishly.

"Hey, glad I bumped into you" I say smiling.

"You are?" he asks me confused.

"My uncle is holding a ball on Christmas eve and you're invited" I tell him.

"Me?" he asks shocked. "Why?" he asks confused.

"No reason in particular" I state.

"Will your friends be there?" he asks me.

"Just other vampires, part vampires and a few humans. It's very exclusive, invitation only and I can only invite one person" I tell him.

"And you want me to go? Why not your mate?" he asks me.

"Because we haven't really spent any time together this year and I know you'd appreciate a ball more then any of my other friends" I state.

"I'll think about it and let you know" he states. "Anyway, I gotta go. I have detention with McGonagall" he tells me.

"Why?" I ask.

"Just been a little behind on homework, have fun in Hogsmeade" he tells me. Before leaving. Strange. He is never behind on homework. I'll ask him about it later, I'm late meeting the others. When I reach the entrance hall, I see they had already left. I don't blame them it is cold. So I head out alone to Hogsmeade.

I arrive and head for the Three Broomsticks. When I arrive I see the other three already enjoying a butter beer and join them. "Why so gloom?" I ask Ron

"Nothing" he grumbles.

"Slughorn is having another party and invited Harry & I. He completely ignored Ron" Hermione whispers. "Here, we ordered you a drink" she says normally handing me a butter beer.

"How's the team looking Harry?" I ask.

"Good, the girls work well together and the beaters are improving every training session" he states. "Ron is a great keeper" he adds.

"I'm rubbish" Ron groans.

"No, you are not" Hermione snaps.

"Where do you guys want to go next?" Harry asks.

"Honestly, it's so cold and I have school work to do. I think I'll head back to the castle" Hermione states.

"I agree it's freezing and I want to go back also" Ron states.

"And you Riana?" Harry asks me.

"I have a few errands to run. I'll see you guys at dinner" I tell them. They nod and finish their drinks before leaving. As I go take a sip of mine, someone sits across from me. "Mrs Malfoy?" I say surprised.

"I think we need to have a little talk, Lady Sanguini" she states.

"I suppose so" I agree and take a sip of my drink. Before putting it down. "I take it, this is about Draco" I state. She nods her head. "You know?" I ask her.

"Yes, is it true?" she asks me.

"It is, but Draco doesn't know yet" I tell her and she sighs.

"I'm annulling his arranged marriage" she tells me and I look at her surprised. "I may not know a lot about vampires. But I do about mates and I will not cause my son or you any pain. By trying to keep you both apart" she states.

"What about your husband?" I ask her.

"Lucius will get over it" she states. "But I must ask you something" she tells me. "Please protect my son?" she pleads.

"I could have you all protected" I tell her lowly. "We could get you all out and you'd never have to worry about him again" I state.

"It's to dangerous, just please protect my son the best you can" she pleads.

"I will" I assure her. She nods her head and leaves. I finish my drink and go to Honeydukes. I get the blood pops and some sugar quills. I got some bat treats for my bat and return to the castle. I checked Sean and Raquelle's work at lunch. Then give them the green light to spend time with Alys and Grim for the afternoon. That afternoon I did my own homework, before joining the others for dinner. Then have an early night.
