A Bitter Silence (Version two of 'Silence is Music?')

13

Scar-head and Pink-ears stole Herman from me! She does all their homework and they NEVER did anything except complain.

I mean, all they did for her was lock her in a toilet with a flipping TROLL!!

On the brightside of that lavatory escapade, I managed to procure a toilet seat from the wreckage to send to Ginny.

I had Christmas all planned out, I would stay at Hogwarts, Molly and Arthur were visiting Charlie.

Then I would go to the Malfoy's for their Christmas ball, and I'd stay over for a few nights.

I'd already bought the presents:

Dean: A magic paint set, he was handy with a brush.

Seamus: A fake moustache kit

Neville: A Hugbunculus Cheerus plant, says it in the name, I couldn't stop laughing whilst wrapping it.

Raven: a set of spray paints

The Twins: a set of ginger spray paints, which turned everything they sprayed ginger.

Dumbledore: Socks

Mad Eye: A new eye-polisher.

Herman: A book looking after kit.

Ronald: A spider.

Molly: A small version of her clock in a watch.

Arthur: A muggle tool set

Charlie: some burn cream and hair grower.

Bill: Some irreburnable gloves

Percy: A badge preservation kit.

Ginny: An anklet with one of my Elf Tree's jewels on it (and a toilet seat)

Great aunt Gretta: Some new false teeth

Pansy: A beautiful bracelet

Daphne: same as above

Malfoy: A muggle book

Tracy: A mirror

Millicent, Crabbe & Goyle: Deodorant

Theodore: A snitch

Hagrid: A beanie

Florean: An ice cream shaped hourglass.

Bored by the list?

Meh, it's finished..... I think.

Oh, and I also god random things for my biological family.

The WC spent a lot of time bewitching snowballs to crash against the sQuirrel's turban.

Yeah... SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard that Potter would be staying for the holidays and decided to go to the Malfoy Manor earlier than before.

I started off my festivities with pranks galore, and snowballs all round.

Moody made me eat only stale bread and black coffee for a week, Ron 'fell' down the stairs.

And then I went to the Malfoy's.

The first thing I noticed when I was flooed by Snape to their living room was that it was a rich family.

Who am I kidding?

I was easily ten times richer than them, but I liked the house.

I reckon I have some sort of cool family house hidden away somewhere, actually, probably about five.....

Well, back to the Malloys.

Narcissa was beautiful, with perfectly pinned up hair, a soft smile and deep grey eyes.

Lucius, not so much, and he was constantly fretting over something he had said to a friend.

My room was huge, shared with Pansy and Daphne.

It was decorated with green, silver and gold, typical Malfoy.

We were sat in their second sitting room, boys on one of the huge couches and girls spread out on the other.

Draco was in the midst of a huge lecture on how green was his favourite colour and all of us, as Slytherins should follow up on that, when Lucius burst in yelling, he was practically tearing his hair out, "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO CISSA? LIE, TELL THE TRUTH?!! GET ONE OF DRACO'S LITTLE GIRLFRIENDS INSTEAD....." He then stopped, and turned to the girls' couch.

"... Little friends...."

Narcissa ran in, "No! Don't give them a stress, just let them enjoy Christmas!"

"But just think about it Cissa, we could change their hair, skin and eye colour to look like Draco's cousin."

Narcissa bent slightly, and when Draco proclaimed it to be a wonderful idea, she accepted 'as long as they agree.' So they started looking at us girls, there were only three of us, and Pansy and DG were too well known.

So that left me, with my skin pale, my eyes grey, and my hair a bleach blonde. I really did look like a Malfoy.

"You see," Draco told me a few hours after my transformation, "Father told an annoying work mate that a distinguished member of the family was coming to the party. Yet none of them are around to come, so father was very worried, you see."

I suspected that there was something more to it, but didn't comment, as I was constantly staring at my long now blonde hair, my pale fingers ran their hands through my altered locks, and I felt so weird.

"Of course, it won't be permanent, and your role will only be as a high class noble who won't speak to any inferior attendees. So not much acting involved."

Oh darn it, and I was hoping on getting an Oscar.

"We're going shopping for dress robes and things for the ball, so don't worry if it won't match."

Oh no! And I thought my shirt and jeans were too formal!

"....leaving in five minutes."

===================

We strolled into a huge, mansion-like boutique , straight away our cloaks were taken and an assistant was in front, asking what we would like.

Us girls went to be manicured and pedicured and pampered and things, while the amazing beauticians did their job.

At the end, my skin was so velvety soft and smooth that I couldn't help but run my hands over it again and again.

The others looked stunning, and I again felt uncomfortable in my different coloured body.

Then we were taken to see the dresses.

I'm not one for things like that, but I supposed I had to.

I rolled up my sleeves in preparation, and the lady saw my tattoo.

She beckoned me to come with her, and we entered a room with beautiful garments of all sorts hung in midair.

She lead me to the green section, and I inwardly gasped at the beauty.

I tried on loads, until they finally settled on one.

I didn't really pay attention.

But they said it looked stunning, so I guess it was nice.

=============

So that's how I ended up walking down the stairs arms linked with Draco Malfoy.

A footman of some sort announced us "Master Draco Lucius Malfoy and Lady Emmaline Malfoy."

People's heads snapped up at the name, and I nodded regally.

When we reached our uncomfortable end to the torturous journey down the steps, I had to mingle, drifting around stately as people introduced themselves, I tried not to offend them, but they ended up miffed anyway.

Draco pulled at my arm, and lead me towards the back of the room, where Snape was stood in dark green robes, I tried to pull a way instinctively, yet it was no use.

"Hello Harmony, What a change of style...... I mean, Good evening Emmaline, I am Draco's Godfather."

I smiled, and Draco said quickly "Hey, Uncle Snape, do you think we can disappear with our friends for awhile, I think Harmony is getting annoyed."

To right I was.

Snape sent us to a small antechamber, telling us to come out after a few minutes.

Once in there, I settled on the couch, leaning back.

Draco sat down as well, fidgeting nervously, "Harmony," he said, "I need to ask you something...."

I straightened up, looking at him suspiciously.

"You see, I really like..........................







===============================================================









I leant back, ready to get into a ninja pose, should the need arise.

"..................................... Pansy."

I was so relieved!!

I jumped up and hugged the boy, and I would have squealed.

He looked confused, I just wrote a note on a piece of paper for him, I left him in the small chamber and walked over to Pansy.

I was distracted by an old man who wanted to dance.

I obliged, and as we did the waltz, he drifted off into his own world.

I excused myself and sat down next to Theo, who was watching Daphne dance.

I nudged him, as if to say, 'go on, ask the girl out.'

She was wearing a stunning violet dress that was sequined into flowers, it was similar to Pansy's blue one.

I yawned, how is one supposed to be Regal whilst yawning?

Suddenly Draco came out of nowhere, and strode purposfully towards Pansy.

They were soon dancing, and I winked at them, they both blushed and looked away.

I soon went to bed, but not after cooing over the couple with Daphne and Theo.

Christmas morning tomorrow, exciting!

=====================================================================

A song by my sister:

I love couscous and you love me,

It's a complicated three,

We really really need to solve it

Coz I need the toilet.
