...

(NOT EDITED!)

Someone opened her door, it was Alphard. "Breakfast is ready, we should go down."

Before she could say anything like close the door, he left, leaving the door wide open. The raven-haired girl was just annoyed at this point.

"Everytime... he does this every damn time..." she muttered to herself.

As she came down to the dining hall, everyone was already seated in their designated place. Rana went straight to Alphard and smacked him right across his head.

"Ow, what was that for? Oh? Did you finally find out about the Pixies which I placed in your wardrobe?" he smiled smugly at her.

"You did WHAT?" Her only response was to hex him.

He yelped as he tried to dodge the hexes while screaming out "I know- not one of my proudest work, but-OUCH that could have hurt me," as he made an attempted to continue, he was hit with the Densaugeo hex, which caused his teeth grow on an alarming speed.

"Look- now your hideous face is ultimately completed!" Rana added with a fake happy voice.

Walpurga who witnessed the whole spectacle just shook her head in mild disappointment and finally founded in her heart to cast the counter spell to undo what Rana created.

Their parents didn't even twitch their eyes at what happened, it was an ordinary family breakfast. Everyone continued their conversation or sipped their tea, except Alphard and Rana who kept bickering  with each other. Their mother Irma, already gave up on correcting their childish antics.

Her only remark would be They are twins, they will come around. Eventually. Properly. What can you say- even a mother has limited passion.

Near the end of breakfast, Pollux spoke up. "Your uncle Arcturus summoned everyone for an important family meeting. Every member of the Black family must be present!"

He pointy looked at his male heir.

"Oh, come on father! You know those gatherings are so boring. Could you blame me for not attending every single one of them?"

His father stared at him, not impressed at all. "You will come, and you will behave accordingly there!" he retorted sternly.

Rana could barely hide her smirk, "It has finally begun... huh" she whispered to herself.

Back at Fiona's place, everything went smoothly until Helena Malfoy asked the young pair the grandchildren question.

"So, how many grandchildren can we expect?" the mother smiled expectantly at the two.

Fiona barely avoided choking on her tea as she heard the question.

It was Abraxas who answered the question unfazed. "For sure, our firstborn will be a boy," in the following sentence he looked meaningfully at Fiona "we aren't sure if it will be two or three children after that."

The young female was stunned after hearing that, on the contrary, the elderly pair looked proud.

After breakfast, Abraxas excused themselves and grabbed Fiona's arm. She was confused at first but to avoid unnecessary attention, she didn't make a fuss and followed along. As they were out of the view range of his parents, Fiona stopped walking and tried to pull away her arm from his strong grip.

But he didn't even gave her a chance to distance herself any future and pulled her into his chest. They were so close that she even felt his warmth through her clothes. Getting a déjà-vu.

The black-haired girl looked up to him, which didn't sit well with her and asked annoyed.

"What do you want now?" Fiona tried again to pull away, but he only tightened his grip on her. She could feel his warm breath beside her ear as he said.

"Don't think I don't know what you are doing. Playing hard to get, huh? I'm a patient man but everything has its limits."

He gripped her jaw gently and forced her to look up to his eyes. Fiona could practically feel his face coming closer second by second. His touch made her feel hot and tingly.

Before he went any further, she did the only thing any other respectable woman would do and stomped as hard she could on his feet. Additionally, she took his wand and pointed at him. Taken by surprise Abraxas let her go and almost lost his balance.

"Does this look like I'm playing hard to get?!" Fiona looked at him irked. He was trying to grab his wand and tried to avail oneself of wandless magic, but no use.

"Abraxas, I'm trying to make a point!" she shouted out in exasperation.

Finally he stopped trying to get his wand and faced her grimly.

"You have to stop disrespecting me, I'm a woman who has the same rights as yo-"

Before she could even continue, he looked bewildered at her.

Wrong century the female thought to herself. "Let's try again," she muttered to herself while pinching the bridge of her nose with a note of frustration.

"Okay, let's start over," at which she turned utterly serious. "We have to stop arguing and start communicating with each other. We are getting married soon and this can't go on forever. So let's call a truce," she took a deep breath "how about that?" and glanced cautiously at him.

For a long moment, the room was enveloped in silence.

The black haired girl could see how conflicted he was. She already was prepared for the worst but he surprised her with a positive answer.

"Only under two conditions, first I will take you out on a date!"

There was distrust in her eyes and she slowly nodded her head at that. She felt that this was too easy but if this was the only way to get what she wanted then so let it be.

Suddenly a houselfe appeared out of nowhere.

"Young Master Malfoy, your father is asking for your presence in his study room!"

"Tell him I will be there in a moment!" with an arrogant tone he looked down on the creature.

The houselfe bowed with respect and disappeared again.

"What's the second condition?" she asked him cautiously.

After hearing that he smirked "We have to act like a couple in front of everyone!"

Fiona grasped as she heard what the second condition was, her jaw widely opened. Outrageously she cries out "Now you dare too much!"

He only smiled at that. "This or no deal."

She thought feverish after a way out of this but didn't find any. So she begrudgingly agreed.

The female could practically feel how pleased he was right now. Abraxas only response was to come closer to her and before she could take out a wand- again, he lightly kissed her on the lips. She still felt the warmth of his lips as he was gone. It strangely felt not bad.

Everyone went on with their day, nothing out of order happened. Only that Fiona spends most of the time with Helena taking early preparation for the grandiose ball. She saw Abraxas and his father at every breakfast and lunch, but he was strangely always absent at dinner. So a week quickly went by.

But one day Alexios Malfoy called her into his study room, Fiona was surprised and nervous. Feeling how quickly her hands got sweaty, she quickly wiped it on her dress before she knocked and entered the room.

His apathetic face met her timed face.

Without any greetings he started to talk in a grave tone. "You may be asking, why I requested your present here," his eyes roamed away from the girl to eventually stare out of the high antique windows.

"I have heard that you were involved in several relationships with boys which are not my son. And still are!"

The tension in the room increased noticeably. Fiona was shocked, she of course didn't know anything of this.

Alexios cold eyes piercing through her. The look he gave her made the sharpest of chills to trail down her spin.

"I can understand this marriage arrangement didn't really fit in with your wishes, but you will not do anything that will tarnish the Nobel House of Malfoy. Even more when you are the soon-to-be Lady Malfoy of this household."

His freezing gaze met hers. "I hope we understand each other, I only have your best interest in mind."

Without saying directly what he wanted, Fiona completely understood the meaning behind those words.

Don't let me hear from anyone that you are involved with other men who aren't my son. So don't let me down.

"Fuck!" she thought feverish to herself. There are still things her counterpart didn't tell even Rana, who should know everything that goes on in her life. "Apparently I'm still in a secret relationship with a boy who isn't Abraxas. Who is it? This is more messier than I expected,-"

Alexios interrupted her train of thoughts. "You are dismissed!"

Fiona only nodded stiffly and stood up. But before she could completely close the door, the man casually stated.

"I hope the next time you come in here will be for a much more encouraging announcement." There was an underlying warning in those words.

As the young girl reached her room, she finally let herself openly panic.

"I knew this wouldn't be too easy, I mean- what did I expect, transmitting in the Harry Potter universe without any obstacles?" she scoffed.

"If life could only be that easy,... but my counterpart is actually a hoe. She really a hoe!" Fiona thought to herself unimpressed.

"This isn't something little she should have hidden. I have to find out who that boy is which I'm apparently in a relationship!"

Desperately she threw herself on the bed and screamed into a pillow.

The day of the ball everything was quite hectic. Abraxas's Mother was fully stressed out with things like checking the flower arrangement, controlling the serving food and other preparation.

Of course, Fiona tried to help her as much she could- which wasn't much to start with. Heck, it wasn't fully a whole month she got transmitted into the harry potter universe so cut her some slacks.

Right now she was preparing herself for the ball as she struggled to tie the corset by herself when suddenly the door opened.

It was Rana Black.

"Need any help with that?"

Fiona could only smile grateful at the female through the mirror in front of her. "Took you long enough, Black." As she implied humorous, her eyes were full of light.
