you sit up from your bed, rubbing your eyes. "you have a letter" Hermione says as she drops it on your lap. you pick it up, wondering who it's from. you open it, reading the words.
"y/n y/l/n,
we invite you to join us for a meal tonight at Malfoy Manor to speak up on some topics that have come to our attention.
we wish you no harm, just to have a chat.
i hope you will show, it would mean a great deal to to the three of us.
thank you.
Regards, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy."
you stare at the words, hoping it's a joke. "what is it?" Hermione asks, you look at her and clear your throat. "it's from someone back at home" you lie, getting into your uniform. "okay..."
you leave the room in a hurry, trying to find Draco. you look around for a few minutes before you find him walking alone. you approach him at a fast pace. "what is this?" you ask, holding the letter out infront of him. he takes it from you, reading the words on the page.
he looks confused, "wait where did you get this?" he asks. "it was in my room... you didn't know?" "no... i don't know what they want but i'm betting it has to do with what i told my father" "so do i go?" "yeah... we both will. if he tries anything we will leave together".
"alright, well how do i dress?" you shove the letter in your pocket, "i'll bring you something" "wait, no Draco you don't have to" "it's alright, i'll bring it by later. when will you be in your room?" "um... well we have charms then defence against the dark arts... after that we have a free period"
"alright, i won't be in charms but i'll see you in defence" "okay, see you then"
he leaves quickly, and you watch him, feeling a great deal of nerves. last time you saw Lucius he threatened to kill you, but you haven't met his mother yet.
after defence against the dark arts class, you begin walking to your room. you see a large rectangular box outside the door with some flowers on top. you smile at this, but go over to make sure it is actually for you. you check the little tag on the flowers, seeing the words:
"this would be hot on you - DM"
a bright smile comes to your face, you look around to see if anyone's watching before you take the large box and the flowers in your room. you sit them on your bed, lifting the lid of the box and seeing a black dress that looks incredibly dressy for just a dinner.
"am i going to homecoming?" you whisper to yourself.
the dress looks like this:

Later that night you're entering Malfoy Manor, it's so dark in there, even with lights on. you see a little elf running around like he's looking for something. he sees you and gasps, interrupting your thoughts. "you must be miss y/l/n" he says ever so kindly, yet also nervously. "i am... who are you little guy?" "i'm dobby miss, dobby the house elf"
"oh, well dobby, do you know where i need to be going?" "oh this way" he grabs your hand, pulling you towards a dining area. you see a large table so big it could fit over 20 people, but no one in the room.
"thank you dobby" a deep recognisable voice says from in the distance. you look up to see Lucius walk in the room, and you feel more nervous then ever. "miss y/l/n... i'm glad you made it" "is that so?" you see Draco rush in the room, his breath a little heavy from running down the stairs.
He's in a nice black suit, smiling at the sight of you, "hey y/n" "hi..."
Narcissa walks in the room, and you fix your posture. "you must be the lovely girl ive heard so much about" she seems incredibly sweet for a family like the malfoy's. "yeah... i think. i'm y/n" "i know, everybody sit".
Dobby pulls out a chair for you, waiting for you to sit yourself. you take a seat and smile at him, "thank you sir" "sir?" he asks, a smile on his face. "out of here dobby!" lucius snaps, hitting his cane on the table loudly. he sits at the end of the table, Narcissa on the opposite end while you and Draco sit opposite eachother in the middle of the table.
Draco looks just as nervous as you do, maybe even more. Lucius looks calm as ever and Narcissa the same.
"so... you wanted me here to discuss something?" you ask, breaking the uncomfortable silence. "right, well Draco has told me that the two of you have been... acquainted" "more than acquainted Lucius" Narcissa corrects. Dobby brings in some plates that he balances on his arms and head.
he places a plate down infront of Narcissa, then you, then Lucius, then Draco. "very good dobby, now leave" he snaps. Dobby runs out of the room, tripping on his way. you feel bad for the elf, he looks so scared. "like i was saying, it's come to my attention you two are... talking" "well, yeah."
you look at Draco who still has the bruises on his face, eating his food. it's a cute sight, you like watching him in his own little world.
"how did this come to be?" Lucius asks curiously, taking a bite of his food. "um... well we didn't like eachother at first..." you don't know whether to tell the truth or not, you give Draco a bunch of side looks to see if he will help you.
"she was my partner, in my potions class" Draco interrupts, leaving you thankful and relived. "i see, and this formed a friendship?" "yeah..." you respond quietly. "and now i hear the two of you are... within commitment" "if you mean in a relationship then yes..."
you hope you're not making an even worse impression on them, you don't really care what Lucius thinks but you'd like Narcissa's approval.
"i see, well... the reason i asked you here is because id like the both of you to end it"
