Never

A/N: ok I am so sorry for the long wait. My car broke down and I've had to worry about it being in the shop and payin the bill and then last week I was in the hospital so I have been too sick or too busy to work on posting for my stories. Please forgive me and here is chapter 10 with no more delay.

The next morning I woke up to three owls at my window and someone at my door knocking. What the bloody hell? It is too bloody early for all this racket.

“Hang on a second.“ I walked over to the door wrapping my robe around me. “Who is it?” I asked trying to keep the acid from my voice.

“It’s Draco, don’t worry I’m by myself for a change.” I opened the door. “I brought you some breakfast.” he said as I motioned for him to come in. He sat down on the bed and put the tray of food on the desk beside it.

I sat down beside him a little ashamed by my appearance; I only had my underwear on and my robe, besides that I know my hair was a disaster and my breath was probably really stinky.

“Umm… Marie, don’t you think you should let the owls in before they break your window?”

I jumped up, “Oh yeah I totally forgot about them.” I walked over to let them in. As I opened the window they flew each landing in a different spot. I walked over to the first one he was almost all black with white patches in some places I took the letter and opened it.

My Lovely Marie,

Good morning sweetheart. I suppose your mother told you last night I was coming. She stayed in the castle and should be in your room in about five minutes. But I won’t be there until noon I have a lot of work to do. I wish we could have told you sooner, but your powers didn’t start showing up until now. Well I must go. See you at noon.

Love your Father,

James Lee

“Wow! I wonder what he does. I bet he works at the Ministry, with some really important job. Maybe he works close the the Minister. Anyways next owl. Thanks, Onyx!” I gave the owl a treat and went to the next owl. She was about the same size and color but she had gray lines on her. I took the letter and opened it.

My Dearest Daughter,

I shall be arriving in your room in aproximately 2 or 3 minutes. I hope you can forgive us for not telling you sooner but this is the way things had to be. I hope everything has been great for you and that you and your fiancé work things out. Well I must be going I need my sleep.

Love your Mother,

Mary Lee

“Wonder how they know when she’ll be arriving. It’s probably something to do with our powers, I suppose. I wonder what she meant by fiancé and who.” I patted Beauty on the head and gave her a treat. The third owl was from Dumbledore.

Dear Miss Lee and Mr. Malfoy,

I am pleased to inform you that you shall be organizing the Halloween and Christmas Balls this year. I choose to inform you of this early so you would have time to prepare. I give you my best wishes and good luck. Have a nice day both of you.

Professor Dumbledore

Hogwarts Headmaster

“Oh gosh. I have too much to worry about, but this is going to be awesome.“ I gave the owl a treat and the three of them left together.

I walked over to the desk and grabbed a muffin. Draco got up and walked over to me putting his arm around me pulling me into a hug.

“What was that for?” I asked after he let me go.

“For helping me realize how much I love you.”

I was shocked and apparently so was my mother who just popped in unanounced.

She cleared her throat and sat down on the bed. “I see you two have worked things out.” I looked wide-eyed at her So Draco’s my fiancé. “Yes Draco is your fiancé.” she informed me. “I just wanted to say good morning to you both. I will come back with your father later to discuss things.” she got up and hugged me then popped out.

“Oh my God this cannot be happening.” I said.

“What that you’re marring me or the fact that they can just pop in and out without apparating like you can?”

I nodded and flopped down on my bed. I lay there for a moment thinking about what I just did. “Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that.” I bolted up, I really hadn't meant to hurt his feelings, I really had fallen in love with him in the short time that we had been together.

Draco was sitting on the floor lookin at me with the saddest look I’d ever seen, especially on a Malfoy. “I know you didn’t but it felt like you did.”

I slid off the bed and crawled over to him. “I would love to marry you, baby.”

I pushed him down to where he was laying flat on the floor and crawled on top of him and kissed him. I slipped his shirt off and started making a trail of kisses down his chest to the edge of his pants. We started a full out snogging session.

I didn’t even know what time it was until we heard a cough come from my door. I gasped when I looked into the face of a man, whom I presumed was my father. I screamed because I was only in my bra and knickers, and Draco was only in his boxers. He also had my pinned against the wall with my legs wrapped around him and my hands on his chest. It didn't look very becoming.

“Oh don’t mind me. But you might want to put some clothes on though.” my father said nonchalently. He acts as if there isn't a man here defiling his daughter righ infront of his eyes. Yes Draco may be my fiance but still, he is a man and we are not married yet.

We nodded, Draco put his clothes back on but I just wrapped my robe around me.

“You must be my father, James.” he nodded. “Ok next time knock and tell Mary that as well.“ he just smirked. I had tried not to sound very angry but from the way he was looking at me I could tell I hadn't succeeded.

“Maybe I should leave so you two can talk.“ said Draco.

“No actually I think you should stay.” both my father and I said at the same time.

“Ok whatever you say.” he said between laughs.

“Anyways, your mother and I want to take you two to lunch. So I think you both need to freshen up, seperatly. I will be downstairs and your mother has said she will meet us at the entrance to the Great Hall.” he then disappeared.

“Wow you’re exactly alike. I never thought two people could ever accomplish the same exact words at the same time. And now I know where you get your death glare from.” Draco said.

I threw a pillow at him. “Ha ha funny. Now go so I can pick out some clothes, and while I’m doing that you take a shower. By the time I get finished picking out my clothes and makeup and jewelry you should be done. Then I will take a shower.” he nodded and walked through the door to the bathroom and shut it.

I heard water running and then I went to my closet. I looked at five or six outfits but the one I liked the best was the third one. It was a black leather knee length skirt, a black halter top the said ‘Hot Chick’ in red old English, black heels, black knickers and bra, a red leather chocker with a dragon pendent on it, red chrome looking hoop earrings, a couple of silver rings, and a silver charm anklet with a dragon, a rose, and heart on it. I picked out some black mascara, red eyeliner, a glittery white colored eye shadow, and ruby red lipstick. I was right by the time I had finished Draco had walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist.

“Oh why did you come through my door?”

“Because I locked my door from the other side and it cant’ be unlocked with the ‘Alohamora’ spell. Not that you care. You love my body, and you know you do.“

I walked over to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Yes I do.”

I walked past him into the bathroom. I took my shower and then did my hair. I decided to do it like I had at the Yule Ball in our fourth year. I walked back into my room and changed into the clothes I had picked out earlier. I couldn’t tie the last strings on the halter top so I popped down into the common room with my purse.

“Why don’t you have the last strings tied?” Draco asked me.

“I couldn’t reach them to tie them that’s why I came down here so you could. Duh!”

He shrugged his shoulders, but walked over to me and tied it. When he was done he asked, “Why didn’t you just tie them with magic?”

I turned to look at him. “Because I lived with muggles for 17 years and I had to do things the other way. And why do you have to ask so many questions?” he shrugged again.

My “father” walked in through the portrait hole. “You look wonderful darling.” he said as he walked over to me and then gave me a hug and kissed my cheek.

“Thank you, Father.“ I said with emphasis on the word “Father”. he nodded and motioned us to the door.

Draco gave me the crook of his arm and I took it. We walked out and down to the entrance of the Great Hall with people staring at us and whispering. Merlin, I hate nosy people.
