Time lost. ...EPILOGUE UP!

16 years later....... Platform Nine and Three Quarters.






“Uh huh, Mum said I could have one!” A golden cherub decried empathically to the ebony haired teenager who studied her fingernails with casual annoyance.

“Not true. Mum, would never let you.” The teenager retorted, her silver eyes narrowing to a glare.
“Jeez… I do not understand why we have to leave Germany at all. Hogwarts is just a dumb school.”

“Because Dad got the position of Defender of Darkness.” The boy sucked his thumb and worried the nail, watching his sister with a scowl.

“Defense of the Dark Arts … numbskull.” The teenager retorted with a haughty air. She flipped open a compact mirror and inspected her complexion.

“Cissy! I told you stop antagonizing your brother. Sirius, stop fidgeting.” A pretty woman of undeterminable age stalked towards them with a rounded belly and flushed cheeks. Dark curls fell about her shoulders as she struggled to haul the bags in her arms.

“I don’t know why you won’t use the bloody House Elves. It’s demeaning to watch my pregnant wife waddle around like a Muggle carrying bags.” A beautiful, older blond man grabbed the bags from her shoulder. “Besides, you could hurt the baby.”

Draco’s tone softened as he resisted the urge to jump on his beautiful wife. His molten silver eyes growing dark with lust as he stared at her flushed expression.

“JEEZ, get a room…” The teenager rolled her eyes at her parents and went back to checking the compact.

The cherub, also aptly named Sirius, snuck up behind his mother and reached into her pocket while she was distracted. Finding what he was looking for, he grabbed the wand and hid it while his mother turned to his father.

“I told Hermione I would support the ‘Free House Elves now’ Law that she is trying to get passed with the Ministry.” Anise’s forehead wrinkled as she began to count the bags. “Hmmm.. did I forget to pack the winter sweaters, and Cissy’s formal?? Oh gods!”

“Relax… Anything we are missing, I can just buy later. It’s not like we are not allowed to leave the school, Anise.” Draco laughed and pressed a kiss to his worried wife’s forehead. “I didn’t know that you still wrote to Hermione.”

“Well it’s been eight years since we have seen her and Severus. Traveling as much as we do, gave me a longing for a sense of connection to someone from England. Besides, Hermione is a very diligent writer.”

“Well now you will be able to spend as much time as you want with her.” Draco smirked slightly, imaging the two troublemakers together again.


Cissy listened absently to her parents talking about her Aunt Hermione. She taught at Hogwarts with her husband who she had never met. They had a son at the school even. Cissy was not worried about Hogwarts. Cissy was hugely popular at her old school. The boys in England were probably very dull and stupid anyway. Everybody knew that her famous grandfather already did everything cool anyway.

Suddenly Cissy looked down and saw her brother pointing her mother’s wand at her legs. The little demon. Sirius cast the Jelly-Leg Hex that he learned recently.

“You did it again you little bloody bas….” Cissy launched herself after Sirius who shrieked and dived into a crowd of people.

Cissy half stumbled, half ran towards the platform with an evil grin. She cornered Sirius finally. “Got you!”

She lurched forward to grab Sirius when her legs gave out as Sirius dodged. Cissy instead tumbled off the platform to the ground near the train tracks.

A teenager who had been watching all of this commotion, strode forward to the edge of the platform. He was a handsome youth with dark amber eyes and he tucked back the length of dark hair that fell into his face as he peered down at her. He smirked slightly, watching the vain little Princess fall off the platform, while her towheaded brother took off running.

The teenage boy wore fitted Muggle clothing that emphasized his lean build, dark leather pants and a black button down shirt, with military style boots. His eyes were half-slitted with an arrogant tilt to his lips as he stared down his nose at the girl sitting in a heap on the ground.

The arrogantly handsome teen crouched down with a sneer that curled up Cissy’s toes. The voice that poured forth was rich with dark promise and sinister intent. “Poor little princess. Need some help?”

Cissy was spitting fire with her silver eyes as she stared at the boy. “Not from the likes of you. Thank you very much.” She tilted her nose up arrogantly and folded her arms.

The boy smiled widely, showing a nice array of straight, white teeth. Like a predator or a dental hygienist.

“Ah… Excellent. I am eager to see how you can avoid that train coming your way.”

The boy leaned back and folded his arms. Cissy noticed the muscles flexing under the shirt and she swallowed hard. Then his words hit her…. Train????

Cissy looked up as a Train descended towards her from further down the track. She yelped and tried to get her legs to move and she stuck out her hand.

“Help me, please…” Her voice sounded a little desperate now.

The boy sneered. “From the likes of me?”

Cissy swallowed hard and nodded, her cheeks turning chalk-white.

The boy rubbed his chin in a boyish gesture and her heart skipped a beat. Maybe it was from adrenaline. Cissy whispered. “Please...?”

“You have to do something for me.” The boy said grinning suddenly, knowing that he had this proud girl right in her place.

“Anything!!!!” Cissy screamed and the boy reached down and grabbed her arm tugging her to fall against him as the train whipped past them.

Cissy could feel her heart in her throat suddenly and she felt cold from the fear that occurred when she realized she had almost died. She had her eyes scrunched closed and she was shaking like a leaf.

Damian stared down at the outrageously beautiful girl who was currently lying on top of him while bystanders gasped. She had beautiful silver eyes and thick eyelashes, which were currently, slammed shut in panic. Her soft warm body was curvy and she had long legs for a girl. She fit against him very nicely. Her dark hair fell in riotous curls about her heart-shaped face. She was trembling against him and he whispered. “You’re alive, you know.”

The girl gasped suddenly and she seemed to realize she was clinging to him. “Get off me!”

“You’re on me!” He pointed out irritated at her sudden anger.

“You pulled me here, though...” The girl pushed against his chest and then fell silent.

Her hot hands were pressing against him and he felt aroused despite the gathering crowd. His dad always said that those things happened whether you liked it or not.

Damian rolled over and pressed her soft body beneath him and he grinned slightly. “Now, I am on top of you.”

The girl looked stunned and she was staring at his mouth. Damian muttered a curse and gently kissed the bee-stung pink lips that she was dangling his way.

“DAMIAN ALBUS SNAPE, GET OFF THAT GIRL THIS INSTANT!!!!!!!” Hermione Snape bustled over, grabbed Damian’s arm, and pulled him up.

Cissy slowly got to her feet and rubbed her arms. She could still feel the warm imprint of his lips and she touched them. None of the boys in Germany kissed like that. She blinked looking a little lost.

“Young lady, Where is your family? I am sure they are worried sick.” Damian’s mother said glaring at him. The teenager gave her a sullen look.

“Are you here to go to Hogwarts?” Hermione asked more gently. She knew her son was devastating at times and she was annoyed that he had done it again.

Cissy nodded woodenly, her cheeks flushing hot pink in color.

“Come with me.” Hermione gently ushered her towards the train on the opposite side of the platform. Damian trailed behind the two women with his hands thrust in his pockets nonchalantly.

“Oh Cissy there you are!” The voice rang out from behind her and Anise stared at Hermione in disbelief. “Anise??!”

Anise looked over at Hermione and smiled widely. “Oh gods, I had heard that you were coming to Hogwarts!” They two women hugged with tears coming to their eyes.

Hermione smiled widely. “This must be your daughter Narcissa? Severus can’t wait to meet her!”

Damian looked sharply at his mom. The girl’s parents knew his. Narcissa, ugh.. Sounded like a poodle's name.

hermione pushed Damion forward. “This is my son, Damian...”

“This is Narcissa Lily Malfoy.” Anise gently nudged her daughter forward to shake hands with Damian. Narcissa turned up her nose to him.

“We’ve met…” Damian drawled out with a smirk, his eyes dropping to Narcissa lips.

Hermione thwacked Damian in the back of the head.

Hermione flushed suddenly as she looked apologetically at Anise. “Sorry… Damian was acting inappropriately.”

Cissy turned blood red in the face.

Anise felt sorry for her daughter, with Draco’s skin, it was painfully obvious when she was embarrassed. “Oh?”

“Saving someone from being smashed flat is hardly inappropriate.” Damian scowled.

Anise laughed suddenly.“He reminds me so much of his father.”

“Cissy, what happened?” Anise looked at her flustered daughter.

Damian narrowed his eyes on the little princess. She was going to tell. He knew it.

“Nothing, Mum. I fell and Damian helped me up.” Cissy murmured staring at the ground.

Anise eyed her suspiciously since Cissy never acted subdued like this.

Cissy stared across at Damian furtively.

“Do you go to Hogwarts?” Cissy asked with a toss of her head. She could not let the arrogant prat realize that he had intimidated her.

“Of course, it’s only the best Wizarding School in the world, isn’t it? Although you wouldn’t know, would you Princess, you were never invited.” Damian drawled with a sneer.

Cissy’s eyes flashed as she turned her nose up at him. “I WAS invited, but I stayed in Germany. YOU,... you,Bloody know-it-all!” She stuttered the last part in rage.

Hermione gave a startled laugh and Anise covered her mouth with a gasp.

“NARCISSA LILY MALFOY!!! Language!” Draco walked up behind her with an icy cold look. “Your manners are befitting a Muggle Hobo. Really. Show some class.”

Draco turned to face his wife and her old friend.

“Hello Hermione. Sorry, I still can’t call you Snape after all these years.” Draco smirked and put his arm about his wife.


..


Damian watched the girl Cissy turn around and run towards the girls bathroom. He followed, as the grown-ups caught up and talked.

Cissy burned with humiliation. That arrogant boy was able to insult her but she cant retaliate? She hated her father. He was so bloody unfair!!

Cissy rubbed her eyes as she felt tears burning there. A lump had rose in her throat at how coldly her Dad had treated her. SHE hated it here. Hated it.

“I hate it here.” The small whisper echoed in the stall and she sniffled.

Damian had been about to start messing with the Princess when her soft words filled with misery echoed in the small bathroom. She seemed so perfect; it was hard to believe that she was upset. More like humiliated.

Damian pushed open the stall and blocked the way out. His golden eyes surveyed her own silver ones with a cool detachedness. Cissy rose up and glared at him, beautiful clear tears spilling down her flushed cheeks.

“I didn’t take you for a crybaby.” His words cut cruelly into her. She did not care what he thought, so why did it bother her?

The guilt Damian felt from looking at her miserable expression made him speak up again.

“But then again your dad seems like a prick. He should not have yelled at you for defending yourself. I can take it. I would take anything you have to dish out Princess.” Damian smiled slightly.

“Why do you call me that?” Cissy sniffled and wiped her eyes.

“Princess? Oh, I don't know… You just seem so above the rest of us mortals.” Damian shifted slightly and he advanced on her.

“Your so pretty, someone has to knock you off your pedestal.” Damian whispered and his hand came up and brushed the tears from her cheek. His fingertips cupped her chin and he leaned down and kissed her softly, exploring her innocent sweet mouth.

Pulling back finally from the heart-stopping kiss, Damian lowered his eyelids to a sexy, sly look and smiled.

“I am going to cash in that favor. I want you to be my girlfriend for the whole year.” Damian whispered into her hair.

Cissy pulled back from him with an outraged look. “What if I don’t want to be your girlfriend?”

“You don’t have a choice.” He smirked and nibbled her lower lip.

Cissy sighed in pleasure at his touch.

Damian looked speculatively at her and then broke into a beautiful wide smile. “Besides, you do want to.”

Cissy intertwined her hand with his after a shy moment passed. “I’ll just consider it destiny.”



And it was.



FIN

I just had to end them together. Sorry put the romantic in me made it happen.

Let me know what you think?


Luv,

Reirei.
