They weren't just rumors. The Malfoy Manor was huge. It look very eerie in its surrounding area. It had huge windows and high pointed roofs. High bushes on either side of manor. It is quite a nice house though. It's from the Victorian times.A large gate closed behind me being the only thing to knock me out of my daze. I turn my head to Draco. I stutter trying to find words to say but I can't. He smiles and takes my hand. He leads me in through the front door into a large open entrance hall with a stair case splitting into two and turning up the sides. I look at the center of the staircase and see two figures. One man whom I can only presume is Lucius and a woman who I presume is Narcissa. The both of them stand there not moving before Draco says "Mother,Father this is Charlotte.". I swallow what ever saliva I had in my mouth when Lucius started to walk up to me. He's quite a tall man. I look straight up at him glaring into his grey eyes noticing that they're the exact color of Draco's.They look similar in apperence. Slim faces, grey eyes, silver blonde hair. You couldn't mistake a Malfoy. He stares at me a little longer before he turns his head around to Narcissa and says "She very pretty isn't she?". Lucius steps back as Narcissa walks up to me and puts her hands on my shoulders. "Hello Dear" She says slightly smiling. I feel like animal in a zoo. Being poked and prodded at like I was some strange beast.

"Draco, Why don't you bring Miss Peverell to her room?" Lucius says patting Draco on the back. Draco nods and we walk up the stair case together. "Sorry if they scared you" He says. "No its fine. Merlin this place is huge" I say looking around. Draco laughs a little before stopping at a door. He opens it and steps inside. I follow and step into a room. In the room there's a huge four-poster bed with black curtains surrounding it. A sofa with two arm chairs gathered around a fire place. There are 2 black nightstands. Everything is black except the cushion's on the chairs. I walk over to the fireplace and look at the carvings into the wood. Swirls and floral patterns. "Well if you need anything I'm right next door" Draco says turning around. He walks out and closes the door behind him.

I sit down on the edge bed and pull out my sketch pad. I decided on drawing the vase of flowers on the nightstand. About an hour after that I put down my sketch pad at sound of a knock on the door. "Come in" I say. The door opens and Draco steps in. "Dinner's ready" He says looking down at the floor. I nod slipping on my shoes. Draco walks over to me and pulls me up by the hand. He pulls me close to his chest so my head is basically forced to look up. My lips are millimeters from his. I don't know if I should do it or not. Not that I didn't enjoy it the last time but how awkward would dinner be then. My lips quiver as the reach up just touching Draco's when the door swings open. I quickly retreat from Draco's arms and turn to see Narcissa just then looking up. Oh Merlin did she see? Surely not she would have said something.Right? "Are you two coming to dinner?" She asks. I nod and start to walk after Draco. I know I just said how awkward it would be to not kiss Draco but how awkward is dinner going to be now? Dammit I should have just done it. Whatever I can't fix it now. Well maybe I might just have to ask Hermione for her time turner? Maybe I could go back to the day I got sorted and changed it so I was out in Slytherin. How weird would that be? I'd could actually have been friends with Pansy. I've put myself of going back with that thought.

A few hours after dinner I fell asleep in my big four-poster bed. I was once again having a nightmare. Well at first I thought it was a dream but that quickly changed.

I'm drawing the vase of flowers on the nightstand. I notice that one of the flowers that was pointing down and I don't like it. So I stand up try to fix the flower. The room is cold for some reason. When I touch the flower it turns to dust right there in my hand. I shrink back before trying to touch another. They all just shrivel up in my hand. I turn around to see him standing there. How could I mistake anyone for him. Lord Voldemort. My breathing quickens as I see him raise his wand. "Avada Kedavra" He yells as a green flash of light is the last I see

I wake up once again screaming. My body jolts forwards so I sit up. Hyperventilating. Draco must have heard because he ran into my room. He walks up next to me and crouches down next to me. "Calm down. You're okay it was just a nightmare." He says. After about 10 minutes he gets me to calm down. I told him what it was about. People say Draco is a heartless bully but I don't think anyone (Never even counting me) has seen Draco like this. He's not some cold-hearted bastard. He's kind and caring giving the opportunity. After a while he stands up and starts to walk to the door. Before he opens the door I say "Draco? Will you stay with me?". He turns around and says "Yeah.". I take a deep breath in as he walks back over to my bed. He pulls back the covers and climbs in next to me. His arm goes around my back as I lie down on his chest.He runs his hand through my long dark brown hair.His hand then falls down to my shoulder I close my eyes and breath in through my nose. He smells like apples. Green Apples. Before I drift off back to sleep I hear Draco say "Good Night". He then kisses my forehead and I drift off into a dreamless sleep.
