Dear Diary

Draco and Liv Drama - Pt2

Monday

I wake up and stretch with happiness. I'm going to Malfoy Manor!

I roll out of bed and put my dressing gown on. I walk to the dining room and get a bowl of cornflakes, along with some milk.

I sit at the table and munch on it. Mum comes in and I look at her, smiling.

"You excited?" she asks, getting a piece of bread and putting it in the toaster.

"Yeah, I s' pose," I say, and carry on eating.

You know that feeling you get, when everything's going great, and then you remember something you feel guilty for? Yeah, well, I had that feeling.

I lied to him.

I keep eating, and when I'm done, I quickly put my bowl on the bench. I walk quickly to the bathroom, strip off, and get into the shower.

I think about a lot of things.

First, lying to him. Why would I do that? Why?

Liv, you're not that sort of person. You're always saying the truth and nothing less. You idiot!

Bring yourself together. Everyone makes mistakes. You have to realize that.

I feel like I'm being torn apart by my self conscience. I hate it. But I'm going with the "everyone makes mistakes" side.

When I'm all ready, I take my mother's arm and we Apparate to Malfoy Manor.

I feel so intimidated, but I've barely set foot in the premises.

I ring the doorbell, and Draco comes to meet me. "Olivia! My dear! Come in, come in."

"Bye Mum." I wave to her. She waves back and Disapparates. I go inside the building and his mother and father welcome me.

Lucius does his I-hate-you smile. But it's more friendly than I expected. Huh.

Draco leads me upstairs to a dull room with two beds. "We'll be staying in here. Put your bag wherever."

I put it at the foot of the bed. Draco walks around to me, and hugs me. "I'm so glad to see you. Now, what was that important thing you have to go to?"

I think for a second. "Er.... it's my great-aunt Matilda's funeral. I barely knew her but I have to go anyway. "

"Why didn't you just ask to stay here?"

"Because...." I end up telling him the truth. "Well... I may have lied to you about that... well... I haven't seen Sydney for ages and she wanted me to go to her house and so I lied to you so I could got but there's only one week of the holidays left and-"

"Hey, you should have just told me in the first place. And it's okay if you want to see your friends. I don't have to be your top priority all the time."

He kisses me on the cheek, and leaves the room.

I don't feel quite so intimidated now.

We have lunch, and afterwards, Draco takes me to Hogsmeade. We go around looking at things and he buys me a present.

A pair of 22 carat gold earrings.

I put them on. "How much did you pay for these? Oh, I love them."

He just smiles at me. I hug him, and we do our first ever, actual... kiss.
