The time now was seven o'clock. Exactly an hour after my father had been tourtured. He was now back down in the dungeons with Ollivander and Freddie (yes I call him Freddie!), probably eating scraps of food from the Malfoys' dinner from last night. But where might I be? I am eating a well prepared dinner with the Malfoy's and Bellatrix.

The food which had been served was luxurious just as good as the food from good ol' Hogwarts if not better! While I was eating my food I couldn't help but think about what would happen to Hogwarts while dad was away...But then it occured to me, the Carrows would probably be one hundred times worse with dad gone. But wait...Why was dad captured? Isn't that a little strange? 

When everyone had finished their meal they placed their knives and forks down neatly on the plate (only the remains of the meat lay on the plate because everyone had been so hungry) and looked at each other: 

Narcissa was smiling warmly at me, she obviously did like me but then again where was Harmony? Didn't Lucius say earlier that Narcissa had always wanted a daughter but got Draco instead? Where had Harmony gone? 

Lucius gave me confused looks as though studying me. He looked as though he couldn't decide wether to like me or not because of the fact I was Snape's daughter (that was a good sign) but then again I was a half-blood (saying that, isn't you-know-who a half-blood?)  

Bellatrix sneered at me and grinded her teeth at the same time, she obviously despised everything about me...

But Draco, he refused even to look at me. I looked at him a couple of time but he didn't look back he just faced the other way. Wow he was a stuck up little brat... 

"Er Narcissa!, Dear!" Lucius said suddenly, turning to his wife whom stopped smiling at me then turned to Lucius

"Yes Lucius?" Narcissa asked

"We need to discuss with Bellatrix about er - " Lucius's gaze snapped over to me then his eyes slowly returned to his wife's gaze 

"Very well, Lucy, Draco, could you step outside for a minute please? Or even better why don't you, Draco show Lucy our back garden! I'm sure she'll like it"

Draco mumbled and didn't make eye contact with his mother, he simply hopped off of his chair, my shoulders shot up to my neck and I swivelled around then got off of my chair and followed Draco into the back garden.   

The garden was beautiful. Simply beautiful. All the plants were trimmed neatly and some of the hedges were cut in the shape of animals (mostly serpents.) I white peacock stalked along the hedges proudly occasionally showing off it's beautiful feathers. But you know the best part? There were red roses everywhere! (My favourite flower for those who didn't know it) and the occasional white rose scattered amongst the red.

In the middle of all the garden drama there was beautiful fountain which spurted out water gracefully. It had light shining on the water making pretty effect, a perfect thing for a garden like this. 

"Nice garden your parents have got, Draco!" I said admiring the red rose bush 

"Yeah, it's cool" Draco shrugged, shoving his hands in his pockets 

"Say, Draco, what's happened to Harmony?" 

"Oh, she left..." He muttured staring at the floor 

"Why's that?" 

"Because, er, well...Harmony isn't really my sister...My parents adopted her..."

"But she looked so much like you!" 

"Yeah your right, looked, mum and dad cast a spell on her so she looked like their kid" 

"Aww...I'm guessing your mum wanted a daughter?" 

"You've already heard that Snape" Draco snapped 

I smiled sadly then sat down on the little stone bench which sat inbetween the rose bush and the fountain. I looked up at Draco whom was now kicking a bit of weed which had grown inbetween in a crack in the pavement. 

"You don't like me, do you?" I asked the blond haired boy 

He turned around and for the first time he made eye contact with me. He looked me up and down, then sneered.

"Your right, I do hate you, you come across to be very stuck up. I mean your dating a Weasley for crying out loud! I'm sure your father thinks you deserve better than that!" 

"Yeah i'm sure he does but I love Fred - " 

"He's a Weasley! I repeat a Weasley! Do you not get that? The Weasley's are as bad as mudbloods! They're blood traitors!" 

"Why does it matter if they are blood traitors?! If witches and wizards hadn't of bred with muggles we would of died out! My fathers, father was a muggle! My fathers, mother was a pureblood witch! If it wasn't for them my father would not be around and neither would I!" 

"But breeding with muggles is the worst!" 

"Hold on a minute!" I said, "why do you care that i'm dating Fred Weasley?" 

"I don't, I - I was just giving you advice..." He muttured sitting down next to me, (this was awkward) but faced the other way 

"Why would you, Draco Malfoy, my enemy since first year want to give me, 'the filthy half breed' advice?" I asked curiously, my tone not even the slightest bit angry 

"No reason" 

"Yes there is! There must be! I don't understand..." 

"Alright, OK, OK, I surrender!" He held up two hands in defence, I looked at him confused. 

"First of all I want to tell you something" he said coldly, "he grabbed a red rose from behind him and placed it in his hand. 

"This rose has been brought up by his parents whom love him very much. He has been told that any flower which is beneath him is scum." He began. I frowned at Draco but let him continue. "He one day gets sent to school and is mixed with all the different flower types. And as he has been told he picks on the flowers beneath him. The one's that aren't as important as him, but one day he meers another flower."

Draco reached behind him and plucked a white rose then held that in his other hand.

"But this flower is the scum beneath him. Despite the fact he likes this other flower he can't because his father will have a fit. So he picks on the other flower so it feels upset and weak and has no friends." Draco plucked a few petals from the white rose. "He wants to make the other flower miserable because that flower is making him feel guilty. But one day his troubles are removed by another flower, yet he still has feelings for the first flower"

I stared at the flowers in Draco's hand, confused but then I grinned like a maniac

"Wow Draco" I whispered, he looked at me hopeful, "I never knew that you were so passionate about flowers!" I giggled

"NO! NO! NO!" He yelled throwing his face into his hands as though he was a three year old whom wasn't getting any of bertie botts every flavour beans

"No what? And what experiance am I supposed to gain from role play with flowers?" I asked sweetly

"You really are thick aren't you!"

"Er..."

"The flowers represent people!" Draco yelled

"Well they are better than Fred's stick men!"

"Sweet Merlin! When brains were given out you were surely at the back of the queue!"  

I frowned at him then thought back to what he said 'he wants to make the other flower miserable because that flower is making him feel guilty' 

"You fancy someone" I grinned 

"We're getting there, Snape" Draco said, "but who do I fancy?" 

"Aw jeez I don't know..." 

I took hold of his wrist and made a steady beeping sound with my vocal chords but when his hand went past my forehead I made the beeping become faster. 

"And you said I was dumb!" I laughed letting go of his wrist 

"It took you long enough to guess though" 

"I was playing dumb with you silly! I do that a lot!" And with that I ruffled his hair 

"Er right, but er what do you think?" 

"I am touched by your comments but there are three reasons why I can't date you" I held up three fingers and pointed to the first one, "one because your dating Louise and I wouldn't dare break her heart because she loves you loads." I pointed to my second finger, "two I don't want to break Fred's heart, he was so desperate to go out with me." I pointed to my third and final finger which was held up, "and three because I can't just forgive you about the thing's you said to me!" 

"But we can change all of that! I can change!" He pleaded placing the red rose in my hair 

"Draco I can't hurt people to go out with you because you hurt me that's just not on!" 

"Oh come on Lucy! - " 

"No Draco, i'm sorry, you know very well I love Fred and you know very well you love Louise, now goodnight Draco it's late I must be getting to bed" 

I got up and began to walk towards the door when I didn't hear footsteps behind me, I turned around on my heel and saw Draco giving me an innocent (he reminded me of Fred when he tried to get me to go out with him.) I know I shouldn't be doing this but I walked towards Draco and held out a hand. He took it then I pulled him up

"Draco listen to me clearly. I am for now your temporary sister and I will love you like a brother if you so wish, we will most probably even have fights like brothers and sisters but I shall love you like a brother if you wish"

"Oh OK then" he smiled weakly

"Well, shall we walk inside?"

He nodded then took my hand like an older brother would to a younger sister. He led me inside and we climbed the stairs to our seperate rooms.

"Goodnight, brother!" I smiled, I quickly kissed him on the cheek lightly

"Goodnight, sister" he whispered

I skipped into my room, took off my clothes then got into some night clothes and got into bed, then had a dreamless sleep.
