Harry and Eloise Potter

Chapter Thirteen

I woke up to someone talking.
"Why is my daughter in your bed Malfoy?"
"Mister Potter, I assure you, nothing happened. She doesn't technically have other clothes here, she doesn't have nightclothes. I was just lending them to her until we could go shopping in Hogsmead. I can promise you nothing bad happened. She also doesn't have a bed in the girls dormitory. She felt safest here with me."
"Stop getting mad James, you'll wake her up." Uncle Remmy's voice interrupted him softly.
"We're talking about this later Malfoy."
"Yes sir." Draco nodded. I could hear the frown in his voice. I heard them leave and slowly opened my eyes.
   "Dray?"  I muttered quietly.
   "Hey, love. How'd you sleep?"
   "Why was Dad here?" I asked him.
   "He was mad that you were sleeping in my bed with me. Don't worry, it'll be fine." He told me.
   "I'm sorry. I'll talk to McGonagall to get a bed in the girls dorm, as well as a schedule. I did just show up out of nowhere. I should talk with her this morning. Don't worry, I'm sticking with my house, I just need to register for classes and speak with her about everything going on."
   "Alright. You're having breakfast with us first, right?" Draco asked me as we both got up from our cuddle session.
   "Naturally." I told him with a smirk.
   "Good." He nodded. I got changed with a snap of my fingers and he went to get dressed in the bathroom.

   "Wow..." Draco muttered when he came from the bathroom.
   "Would you like to match me? Color coordination, not this exact outfit." I specified.
   "Uh... sure." He nodded. I snapped my fingers and he was in a white button-up with a light blue tie and black trousers. I put on my white heels and he put on his socks and shoes before putting his arm around me and we headed downstairs and toward the Great Hall. Everyone moved out of the way as we headed down the corridor, Blaise and Theo walking on either side of us, all of us laughing and walking together like the best of friends, which we are.
   "Her outfit is gorgeous." A girl whispered to another girl. I snapped my fingers and her whole outfit was changed into something just for her.
   "Enjoy!" I waved with a bright smile at the girl.
   "Thank you so much!" The girl called.
   "Of course!" I called back before leaving my fingers with Draco's hand by my shoulder. Blaise and Theo opened the door for us, letting us go ahead of them. "Thank you." I told them. Everyone looked over at us as we walked confidently to the Slytherin table and sat down. The whole hall was silent as everyone gawked at us. Someone approached making me look up.
   "Dad's really not happy." Harry whispered in my ear.
   "And that's really not my problem. He doesn't control me Harry. Neither does mum and neither do you. I love you all, believe me, but you can't tell me what to do." I told him sharply before turning back to my food and friends.
   "What are you saying exactly?" He demanded, not talking quietly anymore.
   "Why don't you two go talk in the hall, I'll get your food served for you." Draco whispered to me.
   "Thanks Dray. I'll only be a few minutes." I pecked his cheek softly before standing. "ALL FIVE OF YOU OUTSIDE NOW!!!!!" I yelled loudly as I stormed from the hall and into the corridor. The door closed behind me and I leaned on a wall, arms crossed and a mad expression on my face. My uncles, mum, dad, and brother came outside of the hall. "Listen and listen good, all five of you," I said harshly, "I don't belong to you. I am a person. A human being who can make her own damn decisions. I can sleep in the same bed as Draco. I can stay up as fucking late as I want. I haven't had a family sense I was nine. Seven years!! I've survived. I want to get to know you all again, believe me, but I'm not used to family. I'm used to being on my own. So.. let me make this plain and clear.. you can not just come into my life and try to take over. I am my own person. My own being. If you try another stunt like this morning, I make no promises on making an effort. Stay away from Draco and until I calm down, stay away from me." I told them before going back into the Great Hall and back to Draco with a small frown.
   "Hey, are you okay?" Draco asked me as I sat down, laying my head on his shoulder.
   "I'm fine, just just not that hungry. Thank you for serving me though." I told his softly, pressing a small kiss to his jawline.
   "More for me." Blaise shrugged and stole my plate, him and Theo sharing. Draco and I both laughed at their silliness before cuddling up on the bench together, talking to each other and our friends.
