Chapter Nine:

 

“So everyone is buzzing about it.” Daphne grinned as Elizabeth rolled her eyes. A groan trickled from her lips as she looked up from her lap as Pansy continued to work on her hair. Parkinson’s hair had grown so much in the last few weeks that they all decided to do their hair. But the only thing was that Elizabeth did not get to cut their hair. She could read all she wanted about cutting hair and styling, she was still helpless when it came to scissors and any sort of hair.

 

“Out with it, Greengrass.” Elizabeth moaned. To be quite honest, she was not in the mood for Slytherin games. Besides, there were a whole slew of things the school was buzzing about. One of which was the topic she knew her best friend was itching to talk to her about. Draco and Elizabeth, the whole house saw her and him in the common room last night. She had been reading and he came in, nothing unusual, but it was when he sat down, scooped her up and placed her right in his lap without a fight that everyone paid attention. It was when she didn’t even so much as give him a remark about distracting her, or how he leaned his head on her shoulder, more and more of it was obvious. No one wanted to ask, but everyone guessed, it had to be they were together.

 

“Don’t move so much!” Pansy hissed as she swatted at her victim’s ear. Elizabeth pouted.

 

“That you and Draco are going to the Malfoy home for christmas.” Daphne wiggled her brows at the girl in the swiveling chair. Elizabeth grimaced as she thought the idea of Draco with no restrictions, no school rules holding him back, and an empty house for him to attack her in. Both in good and bad ways. If he killed her in his house, her mother and father would never see her again.

 

No, going to his house was a definite NO. She would have to go home for holiday, she always did. But if she wanted to keep Draco close, she would have to start to juggle some things. No job this winter, that would have to be pushed aside till the rest of the war was over. Or, atleast, just summer. Elizabeth would have to actually see them more than just parties. Make it real to everyone that she was a pureblood just hanging out and living with her pureblood friends.

 

“My mother would choke me with her expensive leather.” Elizabeth snorted.

 

“Mine too!” Pansy laughed as she brushed down the long hair before her.

 

“Actually, I was kind of hoping to spend a week with each of you girls. My parents want to see me for one week, but I know you guys are going home. Maybe I could sleep over, we could go out for tea or the such.” Pansy nearly dropped the brush. Elizabeth looked between the two and the mirror. “What?!”

 

“You… you want to stop work for one holiday to hang out with us?” Daphne’s face was full of worry.

 

“Yes,” Elizabeth grimaced. “If you don’t want to, we don’t have-” Pansy interrupted.

 

“Yes, we have to. Oh It’s going to be so much fun. I’ll write home and have the elves ready a room for you at my home. You can stay there and we’ll run about. But Still, are you or aren’t you going to spend some time with Draco?” Pansy asked eagerly as she finished up with the girl’s hair before her. She snipped it a few times before it was even. She dusted the hair off of Elizabeth’s shoulder and pointed her wand at the ground, without hesitation, their miniature sweeping broom brushed the hair into a dustpan and all the hair was gone. Quickly, Elizabeth stood up and stretched her arms above her head and sighed with happiness at the crack of her knees and back.
