The Snow Fox

World Cup Part 3

Venus stared into the shining rays of the sun in Dartmoor, shielding her eyes with a light hand from the August heat. The large stadium surprisingly providing little shade to the ravenette, tanning her over in warmth and light. She was in a royal blue dress that fell just above her knees. It had small glitters throughout the fabric except for a sheer portion that displayed her collar bones and just above her chest before redefining into a blue collar. The sweetheart cut was outlined by small pearls and the larger sleeves made her look smaller than normal. They cinched in around her wrists but the cuffs fell a little past her palm. Her skirt was flowy and sparkled in the rays. It was proper for a young lady and filled with personal touches all together, a wonderful blend of her mother's eye for fashion and touches added from Willow. Her necklace proudly bouncing on her chest and her diamond and pearl crusted snowflake earrings, a present from Draco a few months ago adorning her ears. She was waiting for the Malfoy's to drive to the stadium after flooing in from Frost Mansion. A small luggage case was propped next to her mary jane heels, filled with light clothes and necessities for . She was becoming accustomed to walking in taller shoes on all terrains now that she was older and more coordinated.

Venus felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned around with a smile. "Hello Draco."

The blonde gave her a devilish smile filled with glee and mischief. "Hi Ice Princess." he returned with a light kiss on her hand. Her cheeks gave a light flush but quickly paled back down to greet his parents who approached behind their son.

"Venus you look wonderful in that dress, so regal. I do hope climbing the stairs in those shoes won't be an issue though, I myself opted for flatter ones." Narcissa said, hugging the girl and displaying her heeled boots.

"Darling I do not know that is much different than what young Ms.Snow has on but who am I to say as a man, I'm sure if Ms.Snow needs help Draco can assist her." Lucius added, shaking Venus' hand.

"Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy so lovely to see you both again thank you so much for the amazing invitation and I must say Mrs. Malfoy, the charm on your hair is flawless for the style, it looks beautiful." She returned with a curtsey. The Malfoy woman looked at her warmly and beckoned her along.

"Oh your a doll, lets get your belongings into the tent shall we so we can rest a tad before the game, it's still early to go to our seats."

"Yes of course." Venus replied, picking up her luggage back to roll it along behind her, only to have it picked up by the Slytherin near her. "Oh Draco! You don't need to do that! It's heavy!"

"Nonsense Princess, we can't have you tripping on this in those shoes." He smirked. "Although that would give you a good opportunity to hold my hand."

Venus hid the new bright red blush she was sporting, taking the opportunity as the blonde walked a few feet ahead of her to take in his appearance. He was in the darkest of green suits (nearly black except in the harsh sun), except for a black button up underneath the jacket and the silver Malfoy crest ring on his finger. Had he gotten taller since the last time she saw him a few weeks ago? It was a possibility, albeit an annoying one as she had not grown an inch vertically. She followed the Malfoy family into their tent, nearly jumping when a rogue peacock that was walking in front of it approached her quickly.

"Please make yourself at home Venus- did you not bring anything else?" Narcissa asked seeing her singular bag being set down by her son.

"Nothing else in the bag ma'am, although my owl is currently flying outside right now if it's okay for me to call her back?"

"Of course! Of course! I'll have a house elf take your luggage to the London Manor and prepare a place for your owl to perch in your room." The woman stated, turning to a house elf who had just set refreshments on the table before them. Venus raised her wrist and flicked the bell on her bracelet, allowing it to jingle and ring louder than usual. From the horizon of the tent opening Draco witnessed a blue owl emerge from the skies, swooping through the flaps and onto the Ravenclaw's shoulder's.
