The White Peacock (A Draco Malfoy Fanfic)

Chapter 37: Malfoy Manor

Just as promised, Malfoy invited me to his manor to see the infamous white peacock during the winter break. I put on dark green long sleeve knitted dress with tights and left my hair down. I hear a car pull up outside, that must be him. I quickly grab my coat and run downstairs. Cherry and Anabelle peak their heads out to see me leave.

"Hurry, you don't want to keep your man waiting" Anabelle says playfully. He was not my man, I honestly didn't know what he was, but I was excited to see him.

I roll my eyes and blow a kiss to them before I step out, the air was freezing, but it was worth it seeing Draco standing outside holding the door open to his family car. His face emotionless as usual as he watched me walk towards him.

"You look cold, why aren't you wearing your coat?" he says dryly

"Normal people start off by saying hello" I say rolling my eyes.

We get into the car, and his driver offers a friendly smile, I wondered how much Draco trusted him, if he knew he wouldn't tell his parents he brought a girl to the manor. We sat quietly in car, not speaking as we drove to Malfoy manor, I wanted to let my mind escape, not think about everything that happened on Christmas with Blaise and Pansy.

The one thing I didn't have to worry about was our friends who found out about Me and Draco, surprisingly after all the events unfolded they promised to not tell anyone what they had known, what happened in our group stayed in our group, turns out even though we have been apart for awhile now nothing can break Slytherin loyalty, that was something I always admired about my fellow Slytherins.

"We are here" Draco whispers.

I look out window, and marvel at the sight of his home, it was more magnificent than I had imagined, the grounds and house were dark and ominous, however the architecture was impressive. None of my family's houses could compare.

"This is Malfoy Manor" I say in amazement

He smirks "Home sweet home" he says bitterly.

His driver opens the door for me, and I get out, suddenly feeling intimidated by the atmosphere of this home, Draco walks overs to me, placing a hand my lower back to guide me inside.

We get into the house, it was not as I expected, it looked as though no one had lived in here for months, it was dusty, dark and had dead plants left in vases. It was also unnervingly quiet, just lacking any kind of life or energy, I suppose Draco felt that too, I suppose that's why was the way he was.

"Shall we head to my room" he says nonchalantly

"Excuse me" I say crossing my arms, I hadn't even been in his house for 1 minute and he was already trying to get me in his bed.

"So, I can show you the view of the grounds, you know to see my white peacock" he explains

"Oh right" I say feeling embarrassed.

We head into his room, it was surprisingly quite light and just looked normal compared to the rest of the house, his bed was huge and matched the colour of my dress.

"This is your room?" I say sceptically

"What were you expecting" he says dryly eyeing my expression.

"I don't know, I was expecting stone walls and statues of gargoyles" I say with a laugh

"You are describing a dungeon Murphy" he says gesturing me towards the balcony of his room.

I walked out and looked at the view, and straight away the view of the white peacock appeared, it really stood out, it was so beautiful and large, I could understand why he liked it so much.
