It was all a Lie (Drarry)- On Hold for the Moment!

chapter 9

I stood up, planning on heading to my room to get ready. "Draco, where are you going love?" my mom asked. "I need to get ready to go out. The letter asked that I be there as soon as convenient." Suddenly I had a thought. "Mom, why don't you come with me? After I'm done at the bank we can do my school shopping." I said with a small smile at her. Mom stood, "Of course I'll go with you Dragon. I'll just go get ready and meet you in the front hall. Ok?" I nodded my head yes then headed up to my room. When I got to my room, I changed my shirt for a long sleeved button up with a collar that was white. I grabbed a black jacket and headed back to the front hall.

ALEX POV

After we got out of the bank I turned towards my dad. "Now what do we do, Dad?" I looked at him. He thought for a moment. "Why don't we get you a new wardrobe and your school stuff then we can go home." He replied. "Then you can unpack your stuff into your new room and we can have dinner. Does that sound ok, Alex?" "You mean I have my very own room?! Just for myself?" I asked my eyes wide. "Yes, my son. And you can decorate it however you want but first, let's get you out of those rags." He said looking at me with a soft smile. I beamed at him, happy to have a family at last.

We went to Madam Maxinens Robes for All Occasions for my close. As we walked in a bell rang above the door signaling to Madam Maxinens that we were here. She came out of the back and asked "What can I do for you dear's?" with a cheerful voice and a smile at me, were I had suddenly hide behind my dad. Dad took a step and I went with him, acting like I was glued to him. "Ah Professor Snape, how can I help you today?" she said looking at my dad. He swiftly pulled me in front of him, keeping his hands on my shoulders. "My son, Alex, needs a new wardrobe, with 5 sets of black robes, 4 sets of hogwarts robes, 1 set of black dress robes, 1 set of red dress robes, 6 t-shirts in different colors, 3 pairs of blue jeans, 3 pairs of black pants, 6 pairs of socks, 4 pairs of tennis shoes, and anything else Alex would like." "Of course, is there anything you would like Alex?" Maxine asked me. I looked down at my shoes. "Can I have some dresses?" I asked quietly. I didn't see it but my dad smiled, he patted me on the head softly. "Yes Alex, you can have some dresses if you want." I look up and quickly nodded my head yes. "5 dresses as well, Madam." my dad said to her. "Ok let me just mersher you Alex. Hop right up here dearie." she said pointing at a small stool. I looked at my dad and he nodded his head and smiled at me. I got up on the stool and let her mesher me. After she was done with that she told us to come back in 40 minutes to get my close. As we walked outside I asked "Dad, can we go to Flourish and Blotts?" Dad looked down at me and replied "Yes, we can get your school books while we are there." I gave him a big smile and started to skip of to the store with Dad following behind me. As I got there Ron, Ginny, and Percy were standing outside of the shop. I froze not knowing what to do. My dad had already gone inside and I was supposed to follow right behind him but I couldn't help but try to listen in on them. "When is Harry supposed to get here?!" Ginny whined. Ron rolled his eyes, "Ginny, Harry isn't here today, he's supposed to be at the burrow next week. Right now he is supposed to be at his aunt and uncle's house. Most likely being beaten to a pulp." I felt my face grow hot, my so called "friends" knew that I was beaten within an inch of my life everyday and didn't even care. "Why are we talking about that show-off freak anyway?" Percy asked sounding bored. I hated them. How could I have even thought that they were my friends. "Come on! Lets go get some ice cream, I'm so bored!" Ginny whined again. As they passed me in the shadows there was a smell coming off of Ginny. It was revolting but intoxicating at the same time. I growled softly, then turned and walked inside. I found my father with all my school book in his arms and looking at some biographies about famous potions masters. "Alex, where did you go?" dad asked me when he realized I was standing there. "I saw Ginny, Ron, and Percy outside and wanted to listen to what they were talking about." I said shrugging like I hadn't just listened to the people that I thought as family betray me. "Did you talk to them?!" he asked worried for a moment. "No I just stood in the shadows and listened for a minute." I said still feeling sad because of them. "Good, no one should know that you were Harry Potter except those with absolute trust. Now two shelf over there are books about creacher inheritances. We already have some in the Prince Library at home but I would like for you to have your own. Go pick some and meet me at the pay counter." "Ok Dad" I said with a smile at him. I got to the section with the books that I needed when I saw Hermione and she saw me. "Hello" she said with a friendly smile, "My name is Hermione. What's yours?" "My name's Ha- I mean Alex Prince-Snape. Nice to meet you." Hermione narrowed her eyes at me. "Are you related to Severus Snape by chance?" "Yes he's my father." I replied wary of her. "Oh." she raised her eyebrow at me "I didn't know Professor Snape had a child." "That is because I have been homeschool till now but this year I will be starting Hogwarts." I said coldly right back at her. "Well where you looking for a specific book? I had a summer job here and know the whole place by heart." she asked changing the subject. "Yes, could you help me find some books on creacher inheritances?" I asked still wary of her. "Oh sure, any specific inheritances?" she asked curiose. "Um, vampire/veela if there are any." I said hesitantly. "Oh, fun and rare. Let me think for a second." She stood there for a moment thinking. Then she walked over to an almost empty shelf. She grabbed three books from there and two from the shelf above it. She walked back over to me and handed all five books to me. "Two of these are on Vampire half breeds. One is on veela half breeds, and the other two are about all known inheritances. Rare and non-Rare." "Thanks Hermione. I really appreciate it. Can I ask you a couple of questions if you don't mind?" I asked her. "Sure you can ask me anything. I feel like we are going to be great friends." I gave her a small smile. "You promise to tell the truth to me?" "Of course I will Alex." "Ok, What hogwarts house are you in?" "Gryffindor but only because I'm a spy and asked the hat to put me there. I should be in slytherin." That surprised me. "Next, what is your view on Dumbledore?" "He is a dickhead. He uses people and he may be part of the 'light', but I have seen him use unforgivables on people he works with. Also he sent Harry Potter to live with a magic hating muggle family. Who knows what they do to him for anything remotely magic. It's just barbaric!" she ended with a big huff. Wow, maybe she really was my friend. "Ok, Third question is, who are your parents?" I asked. "I don't know, I mean I live with a muggle family but they said that I was left on their porch as a baby with just a note saying that my name was Hermione and that I was a month old. I turn 16 soon though and I hope I can find my parents then." "Last question, who are your friends?" "Oh, well Neville, the twins, Semas, and Dean in gryffindor. Luna in Ravenclaw. Cedric and Cho from Hufflepuff. And Pansy in Slytherin is my gf. Draco & Theo are both penpals with me. Bill and Charlie are like big brothers to me and Professor Mcgonagall is like an aunt to me." Interesting that she isn't friends with any Dumbledore supporters. "What about Harry Potter?" I ask intrigued. "I think you already know that don't you Harry? But it's Alex now isn't it?" she said slyly with a silly smile. "You always were the smartest person I knew Hermione." I said with a small laugh. She just smile smugly, "So Alex, are you going to introduce me to your father?" "Sure, follow me." I said turning and heading to the pay counter. I could hear her following behind me. Just as I got to the counter I saw my dad in line waiting to pay. As I walked over to him he raised his eyebrow at who was following me. When I got to him he smoothly took my books from me and added it to the stack floating above his head. "Alex, why is Miss Granger following you?" "She figured it out." was all I said. For a moment he looked really panicked, then was calm again. "Very well, Miss Granger please come with us and I will explain in a more private setting." "Yes, Professor Snape." Hermione replied confidently. Dad paid for the books, shrunk them, put them in his pocket, then all of us left the shop. We still had 25 minutes till my clothes were done so we when and got the rest of my school supplies. Hermione followed behind me keeping quiet and getting her stuff as well. Our last stop before picking up my clothes was the pet shop. As soon as I stepped in the shop I could feel a pull towards the back room. I excused myself from my father and followed the pull. I didn't know that both my dad and Hermione were following me. I got to an off limits room but went in anyways. I had to find out what that pull was. At the back of the room were 3 dragon eggs, two small unicorns, and one egg that I couldn't identify. It was that egg that was pulling me. It was slowly rocking back and forth. Slowly I rapped my hands around it. The egg was warm and a beautiful purple color on top then it faded to a soft lavender. It vibrated softly it my hands for a couple seconds then it laid still. I cradled it gently and when back to where my dad was. "Alex, what's that?" Hermione asked peeking around my dad. "I don't know, but as soon as we stepped into the shop it was pulling me to it." I said still looking at the egg. "That my young lord is a submissive female water dragon." The shop owner said from behind Hermione and my dad making them both jump. "Oh I'm so sorry! I didn't know! I'll put it back right away!" I said in a rush to him. "No, don't do that!" I jumped, startled by his yelling. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you but the dragon in the egg is your familiar. She was calling for you, that's what the pulling you felt was." I looked down at the egg again feeling it vibrate some more. "So how much does it cost?" My dad ask the owner. "There is no cost when someone finds their familiar especially when it is a creacher so rare." "Ok thank you." I said to him. I told my dad that I needed owl food and some treats for Hedwig. Hermione also went to go find some cat toys and treats for Crookshanks. I stayed up by the counter to wait for them. As soon as they both payed we left to go get my clothes with me holding the egg the whole time. As soon as we stepped in the shop I smelt the most amazing smell of all time. It smelled like vanilla and orange with another smell I couldn't quite name. I followed the smell with my dad and Hermione right behind me. As I rounded the corner I found the source of the smell. Draco Malfoy. He turned to look at me, as soon as we locked eyes he let out a low growl and was at my side in a moment. He growled "Mate" at me then rapped his arms around me and would not let go.

DRACO POV

As soon as mother had gotten to the front hall we Aprentated to the bank. We had appeared in front of the doors. I smoothed out my clothes and walked in with my mother following me. I walked up to the front desk and waited for the goblin to knodes me. "Name please." he asked looking at me. "Draco Malfoy" I replied. "Mr. Malfoy, we have been waiting for you." he said with a look at me, "Please call Tret in here please." he said to a speaker at his desk. Soon another goblin came in and lead me and my mother to a small room with a large desk in the middle and a small cot off to the side. Two chairs were in front of the desk and another goblin was seated behind it. "Welcome Mr. Malfoy, please take a seat." he said politely. Both me and my mother sat down.
