Today was Christmas, which means the day of the Greengrass Annual Ball. I woke up this morning and cleaned Daphne's room, since she is letting me stay at her home. The ball starts in an hour and Mrs. Greengrass already bought me a dress, which is really weird. I put on the dark green knee-high dress and white strappy heels to match the pearls on my neck. I curl my long black hair and apply little mascara that Daphne let me borrow. Guests start arriving, so the three of us walk down the stairs with our arms locked together. Most of the people who were invited are pureblood's or well respected half-blood's, like my father. When we reach the bottom, everyone is staring at me.
"What are they staring at?" I ask Daphne and Tracy.
"You Mellie" Tracy says.
"Me? What for? I ask.
"I mean you are you-know-whos daughter." Daphne says.
"Oh...right." I say as my eyes are focused on my shoes, not wanting to look at anyone.
Tracy nudges me.
"What?" I ask looking up.
"That's Lucius Malfoy, Draco's Father." She whispers and nods her head towards a tall man in all black with long blonde hair and a cane in his hand. Behind him is the one and only, Draco Malfoy.
"And his wife, Narcissa Malfoy." Daphne finishes. Beside Lucius was a shorter woman with brown and blonde hair, also in all black.
"I read about the Malfoy's, related to the Black family also." I say.
The Black's were notorious for their association with the Dark lord. Narcissa used to be a Black, her sister is Bellatrix Lestrange. She was a Death Eater who is currently is Azkaban Prison along with her cousin Sirius Black. Lucius was also a death Eater, but claimed was under the imperius curse during the time and was forced to serve my father. Of course that was a lie, he only said it to avoid imprisonment.
"Oh no, we've been spotted." Daphne says.
Lucius comes up to me with a smirk plastered on his face. He looks at Daphne.
"Good evening Miss. Greengrass correct?" He asks her in a low toned voice.
"Yes sir." She says and he hums in response.
Then turns to Tracy.
"And you are?" He asks.
"Tracy D-Davis sir." She stutters.
He looks in disgust.
"Half-blood, hm." He says then turns to me.
"You look familiar, your name?" He asks.
"Amelia Riddle." I say with a forced smile.
"Oh dear, Miss Riddle it is a pleasure to meet you. My apologizes for my rudeness." He says.
His eyes tell me everything, mostly that he is...scared.
"I would say its a pleasure to meet you also, but that would be a lie." I say.
His face stares in shock as I walk away. Sorry Lucius but I don't respect people unless they earn it. Once everyone has arrived, Mrs. Greengrass stands at the top of the stairs in her long black gown and starts speaking.
"Thankyou all for taking the time on this lovely Christmas day to come here and celebrate with our kind..."
Did she say our kind?
"We will start tonight with the annual slow dance." She announces.
*play song now*
'I was a quick wet boy'
The song starts playing while I sit in a chair watching the couples gather to the floor. Until Malfoy comes up to me.
'Diving too deep for coins'
"I'm sorry for making fun of you Amelia. Would you like to dance?"He asks and holds his hand out.
"Sure." I say and take his hand, smiling.
'All of your street light eyes'
'Wide on my plastic toys'
We make our way to the center and he takes my waist while I place my hands on his shoulders.
'Then when the cops closed the fair'
'I cut my long baby hair'
Both of us smiling as we dance to the peaceful song. He might be rude sometimes, but Draco will always be my bestfriend.
'Stole me a dog-eared map'
'And called for you everywhere'
'Have I found you?'
'Flightless bird, jealous, weeping'
'Or lost you?'
'American mouth'
'Big pill looming'
'Now I'm a fat house cat'
'Nursing my sore blunt tongue'
'Watching the warm poison rats'
'Curl through the wide fence cracks'
'Pissing on magazine photos'
'Those fishing lures'
'Thrown in the cold and clean'
'Blood of Christ mountain stream'
'Have I found you?'
'Flightless bird Grounded, bleeding'
'Or lost you?'
'American mouth'
'Big pill, stuck going down'
The song starts to fade away.
"That was a beautiful song." I say.
"It was alright." He says with a shrug.
"Whats wrong now?" I ask raising my eyebrows.
"Nothing, nothing. I'll see you at Hogwarts." He says and walks away, leaving me in the middle of the dance floor.
Something isn't right, he just apologized to me!
"Hey Mellie, wanna dance? I love this song!" Daphne asks with Tracy by her side.
"Sure, why not." I say.
The rest of the night I spent with Daphne and Tracy dancing to different songs. Eventually, everyone starts leaving, bidding goodbyes to friends.
"That was fun, but I'm tired." I say yawning.
"Yea me too." Tracy says.
"Same." Daphne says.
We all walk to our rooms and fall into a deep sleep.
