Tom lean back on the couch, his legs open with one arm over the couch. He watched his familiar slide around while mocking a rat. Poor animal, not that Tom give a fuck about it.

Today is the day where the Malfoy and Lestrange families will come for dinner at his manor. Tom sighed, it was going to be easy since those two families are the one who trust and the Dark Lord does not trust people.

To their surprise, the Dark Lord allowed Theodore to come since he heard how close he and Antheia is.

In the Malfoy manor Draco sighed annoyed. "I vote for Antheia to not go there." He said firmly. Theodore nodded with fake enthusiam. "I don't want her to go neither but we can't ignore his order. Also the Dark Lord won't hurt Antheia." Lucius rassured the boys as smooth as he could.

Two stubborn boys were his breaking point, luckily he now finally have an adorable little girl. Lucius Abraxas Malfoy was over the moon.

"Now let's get ready before your mother come here to scold us." He said unaware of the effect his words had on Theodore.

Your mother

Those words rang in Theodore's head. He who never know his mother. He never know mother's love until Narcissa.

Theodore smiled and adjust his tied. I wipe his eyes to not show his teary eyes. Draco chuckked and patted his back.

"Cry baby." He tease before ruffling his hair. It was difficult for Lucius to not smile at the scene infront of him. "Get ready boys." He repeat trying to sound stern but failed.

"Yes, sir!" Both boys mock teasingly before getting themselves ready for
the dinner. In the room next to them
is Narcissa and Antheia.

Antheia balanced her feet with pout plastered on her pinky lips. Narcissa chuckled, amuse by her stubborn personality. Since Antheia have been
pouting because she wanted to know where they were going but she did not want to appear annoying so she pouted in silence.

"What color of dress do you want?" Her mother asked with a pretty smile. "Pink please." She muttered finally letting go of her pouting. "Is pink your favorite colour?" Narcissa asked curiously. "Y-yes!" She almost shouted happily.

For her pink is the color of universal love of oneself and others. Pinks represent friendship, harmony, inner peace, affection, and approachability

Narcissa smiled and took out the light pink dress. Antheia smiled and dressed up wearing it, she then wear a white T-straps. Narcissa walked behind her and then started brushing a hair, at the end she put two pink ribbons in her hair. She twirl her daughter and both laughed catching the boys's attention.

"Adorable." The boys muttered watching the girls smiled happily. "Am I in heaven?" Lucius asked dumbfounded. "Dad that's your wife." Draco shook his head with an amuse smirked. He walked behind his sister and spin her around by grabbing her waist.

"Kyaaa!" Antheia quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and slowly relax when she noticed that the person was her brother.

"Dray!" She pouted.

"Since when were you boys here?" Narcissa asked as she started using
her lipstick in the miror. "Wow so pretty." Antheia mumbled. "Aww thank you." Narcissa kissed her daughter's cheek which left a red lipstick mark.

"We were here since you started spinning around, beautiful." Lucius answered, wrapping his arms around his wife's waist.

"Oh. You look handsome, both of you!" Narcissa complement Theodore and Draco. Theo nodded and responded quietly. "You are beautiful too, aunt Cissa." Narcissa smiled.

"It's time to go!"

Bellatrix, Rabastan and Rodolphus stood in the Slytherin manor's living room with Tom. Bellatrix quickly brought her niece in a hugged when they entered.

Antheia froze in her arm when her eyes met Tom's dark blue eyes. She was confuse and scared. Million of questions ran in her thoughts.

Why is I here?

That man tried to kill me so why?

Did the Malfoy not want me anymore?

Are they abondoning me?

Antheia's breath quickly, she felt trapped, was she hyperventilating?
Yes she was.

"Antheia!" Draco shouted worried walking near his sister but her reaction to that broke his heart. Antheia clinged to Bellatrix and there were fear in her eyes when she looked at Draco.

There it goes again. The same fear she gave him when he came to apologize. They went back to the time she did not trust him. All because of Tom fucking Slytherin.

Seeing their daughter's reaction Narcissa and Lucius immediately
regret agreeing to this dinner. Theo walked toward her and cupped her cheeks. Her while body shaking.

"Breath, little flower. The Dark Lord won't hurt you. We are here only dinner okay? After we will go back home. Hmm? Capito?" Antheia who listened
to Theo's words slowly start breathing properly. She was relieve that they were not abondoning her anymore.

"Shhh.." Bellatrix whispered gently caressing her brown hair. "No... abondoning me?" She whispered yet loud enough for the others to hear.

Tom lean against the door, a sudden urge of hugging the vulnerable little girl infront of him but he refrain himself.

For now.

"No! Of course!" Narcissa said quickly. "The Dark Lord invited us for dinner andif it rassure you, he was the one who allowed us to adopt you." Lucius smiled easing her anxiety.

Antheia hesitately glanced at Tom who did nothing more than smiling at her.

The Dark Lord smiled at her.

She hesitately lifted up her hand and cutely waved it toward him. She was so embarassed to have make them worried about her stupidy that she blushed.

"How about we go to dinner room?" Rabastan suggested with a lazy smiled but he was genuinely worried for the little pinkette infront of him.

Bellatrix made Anthei sat in the middle of her and Lucius with Narcissa in his right. Theodore was next to Draco who was still tensed

The dinner room were quiet as they
ate silently. Tom looked at them and fake a cough to catch their attention.
"I have decide something." He said coolly glancing at Antheia who
nervous yet looked curious. Narcissa and Lucius tensed they felt like they
knew what was about to come.

"I want to aks for Antheia's hand for marriage." He said lazily as if he did
not just throw a bomb at them.

"What..?" Draco muttered. Theodore immediately looked at Antheia in case she have another attack but instead his little flower looked confuse.

"My Lord." Lucius tighten a grip on his spoon. "I am not forcing you to agree Lucius." Tom added but the tone was dangerous, very dangerous. Bellatrix
& company looked at eachother in disbelief.

Antheia who noticed the her family being tensed made her sadden. So she did something anyone would.

She-

"Got any chocolate, mister?" She tried to ease the tension by asking for chocolate to Tom with an adorable smile. Inside she was nervous though.

"Answer first then I will give you any chocolate you want." Antheia's eyes widen at the statement.

Any. Chocolate. She. Want.

"Yes!"

"Antheia!" Theo, Draco and Lucius looked at her in disbelief. She agreed because of chocolate? Damn chocolate.

Rabastan choke while drinking water, his older brother slapped his back gently while he take care of an fake uncouncious Bellatrix. Narcissa place her hand on her heart.

"W..what?" She asked confuse.

"That a deal then." Tom smirked before making a huge basket of chocolates appeared. A very huge one.

Lucius Malfoy have fainted.
