The Order

Chapter Nine

I looked at both my parents as my father send a letter off right away, they both looked so disappointed as my mother,

I wasn't completely sure what it had meant. I went with the flow soon enough a black owl with golden eyes returned as my father looked to my mother and nodded, I gulped deeply I wasn't sure what would come from there mouths next but i knew something was wrong.

"Scarlet Honey" my mother spoke such soft words, almost as if what was coming next was going to shatter me maybe it was going to I looked up at her.

"Yes Mum?" Severus spoke up because it seemed like my mother couldn't hurt a fly especially her daughter Severus looked down at his daughter she wasn't exactly short, so he looked her in her eyes as best he could scared to even tell her himself but hoping she would understand.

"Your mother and I are very sad to tell you this but we have both been called into some duties today that are very urgent, we need you to understand that we love you and we will do our best to make it up to you, but we need you to go get dressed and be ready sadly we have to take you, to Malfoy Manor we don't want to but we have no options right now we have no one else to send you too, the Weasley's have a full house i don't have family and your mother's Aunt and Uncle are all the choices we have left my dear we are going to try our hardest to get back for Christmas day"

My heart felt as if it had shattered in place my first Christmas and it's already going to be ruined by Draco, this was not how I imagined thing but i guess they can change i looked to my father.

"Of course I understand I will go get ready"

I walked up to my room and grabbed a back putting clothes and makeup in my bag its all i needed, I turned to my mirror doing my daily make up routine, i sighed going to my closet to find a dress but soon my other came up not long after i tried to find one she walked in.

"i was saving this for Christmas day but seeing as our plans are sorta destroyed i thought maybe you'd like to wear this"

I looked up at her and opened the box as I saw a gorgeous Black sheer bottom dress short in the front, long in the black with a white top and skulls on it this was my style, I smiled big and bright it had black spiky heels and a leather jacket a few brackets to go with it i put it all on it was so pretty it was to die for, my mother seemed so happy by it i hugged her tightly in my hair cooled down into a shady teal she smiled more I had no clue why she was smiling.

"Thank you mum this is amazing"

"You're welcome my daughter you deserve it"

We walked down stairs and my fathers mouth dropped in shock he smiled "you both look so beautiful"

I thanked him briefly as he took my bag from me we soon arrived at Malfoy Manor no where i wanted to be my mother looked at me.

"Make this the best time you can my dear we are always a letter away and so are your friends! I know my uncle and aunt will not mind you sending owls I love you"

"I love you to mum" She soon apperated away my father knocked on the door looking at me proudly that i was doing this for them i sighed just as Narcissa opened the door.

"Ah Scarlet!, Severus!" she grinned ear to ear i didn't know what my family was getting me into but i had a funny feeling that it wasn't a good thing.

"i'm so happy you're spending Christmas with us!" she exclaimed as she brought us both inside i wondered why my father was still here since mum had already left he chuckled.

"Lucius late as always Narcissia"

"he will be a long in a second We have a ball at the Ministry tonight i hope you don't mind if i bring Scarlet it will be fun I think the Weasley's will be there but some kids it will be good for the children"

Dear god no is all i managed to think my father couldn't possibly tell her i can go to that ball i begged him in my head but i was so terribly wrong.

"yes i agree that would be wonderful Narcissia"

Lucius Malfoy Draco's father no wonder where he gets his snobby actions from clearly his father this was not going to be good i had to go to a ball at least the Weasley's will be there, i sighed as my father hugged me and left with Lucius Draco came whining down the stairs he probably wasn't expecting me again but too bad he was about to be shocked.

"Draco don't whine Scarlet is our guest again for a few days well her mother and father are busy, tonight we are going to the ministry ball so you best better be a gentleman especially to Scarlet"

I smiled even being treated here good it was so shocking that i was treated so well i giggled.

Hours had passed and i soon wondered as we headed to the Ministry of Magic for this ball i was fixing my make up and walking out into the foyer still wearing the necklace my parents left with me when i was a baby, it was one thing i never would take of Draco came down the stairs in a suit he looked so well groomed it was so shocking Narcissa asked out if we were ready and soon We were at the Minstry of Magic.
