Strictly Pure Bloods

5/8

Her dress^^

I woke up the next morning a little earlier than I liked. I hadn't slept great that night. I stared at myself sitting at my makeup table. I had bags under my eyes. Thank Merlin for makeup. It was 7:30 am however and I wasn't going to need any until I got ready for the meeting. I grabbed my wand and lit the fire in my room. I sat down on the lounge by the fireplace with a book and started reading. Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in" I shouted and the door handle twisted open and Tiny walked in with a small tray.

"Miss, good you are up here is some breakfast and your tea if you'd like." I nodded and she brought the trey over to me and I thanked her and she left closing my door. I found it a little creepy that she had just happened to walk in while I was awake. I sipped the tea. It was raspberry tea, one of my favorites. I flipped through the book not actually reading it. I would catch myself skimming over the words not actually recalling what the passage had said, then I would reread it and still wouldn't remember what it had said. I was distracted by too many things right now and for some reason I just couldn't focus. I rubbed my eyes and sipped my tea. I tried reading once more but after 30 minutes of reading and not remembering a single thing that had happened I shut the book and set it aside shaking my head. Reading had always helped me but it wasn't this morning I picked up my mug to take a sip noticing the mug was empty I stood up and tied my robe around myself and grabbed my mug and opened my door. I started down the hall and headed to the kitchen. I was walking down the stairs. I heard mummers down in the living area but didn't think much of it. Narcissa suddenly headed up the stairs then looked up to see me. She was dressed like normal hair and makeup was done. She quickly walked to me and pulled me back upstairs.

"Dear me Tatum we have guests, important ones that will be at the meeting if you are coming down you need to be dressed." She whispered to me, walking me back up the stairs.

"Sorry Narcissa I just wanted more tea. I didn't realize people would be here so early."

"Early? It is nearly 11, you're fine just be prepared when you come down. I hope you liked the dress." Narcssica said as we approached my door. 11? Where had the day gone I went into my room and headed back to my makeup table. I put on my makeup and finished it with the winged black eyeliner and a darker lipstick. I used my wand to help curl my hair and keep it inplace. I looked in the mirror and I didn't look right. I put my two blonde strands in my mouth to hold them apart and I flipped my hair and pulled it in a bun. I styled and sprayed it until I liked it then got dressed. I pulled up the tights and then stepped into the dress I reached for the zipper pulling it up halfway I struggled to pull it up more and I groaned. Why did things always get so complicated? I walked through the connecting door into his bathroom and he wasn't there. I walked into his bedroom and he jumped, pulling a blanket over himself. He was only in boxers. I didn't look down. I just kept eye contact and he seemed shaken.

"Bloody hell Tate knocking remember?" He mumbled sitting up in his bed.

"Sorry just need you to zip me up, not a big deal, calm down." I said blankley and turned around he fumbled with the zipper on my back but finally zipped it up I turned for the door and glanced back at him.

"You should probably get up and ready now" I said and his eyes dragged across my body till they met my eyes.

"Err yeah I will" he said and I shut the door and went back into my room and slipped on the shoes. I still found it weird wearing shoes in the house but you couldn't just meet company barefooted. I headed down stairs a little while longer and was shocked to see Draco who somehow was able to put on his favorite classic black suit and get downstairs before me. He was talking with a guy who looks oddly familiar.
