"Harry Potter the boy who stopped the Dark Lord. Friend to mudbloods and blood-traitors alike-- if my poor Mistress only knew..."
"Kreacher!" Melia steps down the stairs, "Go do something more useful than insulting Harry."
He bows his head, "Of course, Mistress. Kreacher lives to serve the Noble House of Black."
"Sorry about that," she says while scratching her neck. Then Sirius comes up behind her and saves her from the awkwardness, "He was never very pleasant, even when I was a boy-"
"To you," she says with a chuckle. He hits her playfully, "Hey!" Melia moves her hands up in surrender before walking to the kitchen, where the others are sitting. She places herself beside Hermione by the table and waits for Harry to come so they can start the dinner. A few moments later Harry and Mr Weasley come in. After the dinner, Molly gave all the kids gifts, even Melia. She hadn't expected it at all and opened it carefully. It was a green sweater with a big 'M' in front. Melia smiled widely and hugged Molly right away, telling her how much she liked it. Then they decided to have a toast for Harry--
"A toast to Mr Harry Potter, without whom I would not be here," all of them raise their glasses. "Harry."
Everyone says his name, even Sirius, and drinks. Melia looks down at her plate and places the glass down again. She gets up from her chair and walks towards her room. She gives a few sweets to Diana, saying Happy Christmas before picking out her dress for the night. She picks a black one with puffy see-through sleeves and puts on some short heels. Then she walks down the hall.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know he would be toasting for me," now it's Harry's turn to scratch his neck awkwardly. "It wasn't just me. I just got to Dumbledore's office faster than you and--"
"Harry, I don't care. You can have all the glory for all I care," he opens his mouth to speak, but she cuts him off. "I have to go now, talk later?" Harry nods his head. She looks up and sees Sirius standing in the doorframe. She gives him a faint smile before taking her coat and apparating to Malfoy Manor. Melia was invited for a small gathering with a few people. Not like the one last time, just one with the Malfoy's and their closest.
She stepped inside the manor and gave her coat to the house-elf. She then stepped inside the drawing-room, where everyone would be seated. "I'm sorry if I'm a little late, I was caught up in some other business."
Draco moves towards her and kisses her cheek, "That's alright, love. We just started eating." He leads her to the table and pushes out the chair for her before sitting down himself. She notices Bellatrix in her side view and gives her a little wave and a small teasing smile. Bellatrix looks like she could kill someone and tries to get up from her chair, but Narcissa stops her. Suddenly someone else comes in the door. Rosie and her family.
"Rosie?" Melia gets up from her chair and goes to hug her. "I didn't know you were close with the Malfoy's," she says looking at Draco who moves his hands up in surrender. Melia shakes her head before raising up to greet her parents and sister.
