Mrs Potter-Malfoy {ON HOLD}

I can't

Picked up from exactly where it left off.

"Oh my god Bella your dress is beautiful." Rhea said, covering her mouth and smiling. Rhea and Alice had joined the girls on their way up to Bella's bedroom with Draco. Bella had a mannequin in her room and had put the free over it to let it hang naturally for the next 3 weeks. "You have to put it on."

"Yeah please do Bells, we have to see it on." Roxana agreed, she ran a hand down the fabric of the skirt and grinned. "It's simply magnificent."

"Okay I'll put it on." Bella said, not needing any further persuasion. When her father has given her the dress 2 weeks before she had cried. It hurt not having her mother at her wedding but if she got to wear her dress it would feel like she was there.

A few minutes later she returned from her bathroom wearing the dress. Sophia and Lily had sat down on her bed and Starla had perched on arm of the armchair Kirsty was sitting in. There were several conversations going on but they all stopped when she walked out the door. Everyone stopped and stared at her in shock. "Is it not good? Do I look weird?" she asked, running her hands down the skirt nervously.

"It's perfect."

"It's beautiful."

"You look like a princess."

Draco didn't say anything. "Dad what do you think?"

"I think your mother would be so proud." He started to tear up and dabbed at his eyes with his hand. He reached inside his jacket pocket and turned to face the other girls. "Would you mind giving us a moment?" They all left without any complaints and Draco pulled an envelope from his pocket. "Your mother wrote this for you when we were in New York." He handed her the letter and she turned it over and over in her hands. "I found it when we got back, I think you should read it before the wedding."

"I don't really know if I want to right now." She turned it over again and again. "I'll keep it with me, I want to build up the confidence."

"I understand." He pulled her I for a hug. "Do it completely in your own time." He pulled away and went towards the door, "Would you like me to let your friends in?"

"No, tell them to go back outside, say I'll be down soon."

"Okay, I love you Bella."

"I love you too dad."

And then she was left alone in hr room, in her mothers dress, with her mothers words in her hand. She rushed over to her desk by the window and put the letter in the top drawer, took a deep breath and began to change into her clothes.

Halfway through changing she started to cry, she broke down and fell to the ground in tears. Wearing only shorts and her bra. She curled up in a ball against her bed and cried for hours. No one came up to see her. Lily tried but was sent away before she had even opened the door.

Three Weeks Later

Bella barely left her room at all over the next few weeks. She would only see James and Alice. Draco decided he had to do something and called St. Mungos but they were no help. Then he called a muggle hospital and they agreed to come out and see her.

The nurse arrived the next day and asked if her state had anything to do with the front of the house.

"No no, Draco said, that was just an experiment gone wrong." He grinned. "You need to help, she supposed to be getting married a week today. Then going back to school on September 1st."

"Hmm, And does she speak to her fiancé?"

"Yes, him and her cousin are the only ones she Let's in, not me or her brother."
