Chapter Sixteen:

 

“And… who are you?” The voices were strong by her ear as she looked up from her book. There he was, blond hair, stormy eyes, pointed face. He had the baby fat of a young child on his cheeks, but even then, he was a handsome face. Beside him were two girls who were just as handsome and well pressed. A dark, onyx eyed and skinned boy just behind them. Elizabeth smiled softly as she put her book down to introduce herself.

“OH MY MERLIN! IS THAT LORD MERCI LA’BEC?” A girl, the blond one, announced and jumped towards Elizabeth. She brimmed as she pulled up the book for the girl to see.

“He’s my favorite strategist. He’s fantastic!” She bubbled as Elizabeth cocked her head to the side.

“He is a marvelous chess player, and his contribution to the war in the east is unequaled by anyone else.” Elizabeth explained. The group had moved inside as the blond slipped down next to her and scanned the book. It was obvious a well loved book, the cover slightly faded and binding gently worn at by movement.

“May I borrow this?” The blonde asked.

“Of course, I’ve read it a thousand times.” Elizabeth answered softly.

“So… what’s your name?” The blond boy asked with a cocked brow.

“Elizabeth Marshall. Of the London Marshalls.” She answered. He seemed to like her answer, though his eyes were narrowed.

“Marshall? I’ve never heard of your family.” The Brunette peeped up.

“Well, they don’t work for the government. We’re chefs. My parents own and run about ten five star restaurants all throughout Europe. They are opening one in Milan tomorrow, to be honest. I’m quite excited, I’ve heard the food there is the spice of life.” She spoke with such a spark, she surprised herself.

“Makes sense. You smell like Vanilla and brown sugar.” The blond pipped up. “I’m Daphne, of the Greengrass’, My father’s the head of interrogation at the Ministry.”

“Remind me to never anger you.” Elizabeth teased with a smile. Daphne chuckled and nodded.

“I’m Pansy Parkinson. My father and mother are Auror’s, my father is Head Hit wizard, mother is head Emergency Auror.” She brimmed with a giant grin. “And this is Blaise…. Zabini, his father is apart of the treasury.”   She motioned to the dark skinned boy. He leaned forward to shake her hand and she took his hand. She smiled before she turned to look at the blond haired boy. She put out her hand for him, but he took it softly and pressed his lips to her knuckles.

“I’m Draco Malfoy.”
