Chapter 8: Morning After
Chapter Eight
When Draco woke in the morning he felt restful a feeling he hadn’t had in a long while. He also felt pleasantly warm for a while it took him a moment to remember why he felt the way he did. And once he remember it brought a smile to his face. When he opened his eyes he was greeted by the sight of two emerald orbs of Kalista's staring up at him with a smile on her face. He could get use to waking up to such a sight every morning.
“Morning.” He told her groggily.
“Morning.” she told him sweetly before she placed a kiss on his slightly hairy chest. “You don’t mind that I stayed last night do you?”
“Not at all. It's kind of nice going to sleep with you in my arms and waking up that way as well.” he said smiling at her.
“Do you allow all of your conquest to stay with you during the night?”
Draco frowned at her before answering. “You aren’t one of my conquest. I believe we talked about this last night. But no I don’t. I don’t usually like sharing my bed with them.”
“Hmm.” Was her only response before she got up from the bed pulling the sheet up with her to cover her naked body.
“Where are you going?”
“My sister is calling. So before she sends out a search party I have to return to my room.” She told him as she pulled on her panties.
“Calling?” he asked confused.
“My necklace.” She told him as she pulled it from under the blanket so he could see it. It was a golden snitch that had him curious for a moment she saw his curiosity and smile. “I enjoy watching and playing Quidditch. I am a decent player so she gave this to me as a gift. It also allows her to send messages through it. She has one similar to it, but hers is a book the girl is quite the reader.” she told him before she bent down to give him a kiss. “I really would love to stay but I think it will burn a hole in my skin if I don’t leave soon.” she told him chuckling as she begun to leave the room.
“I'll walk you back to Slytherin housing. Just let me clean up a bit.” Draco said getting out of the bed before she left the room.
“Alright. I am bushed do you think they are serving breakfast this late.”
“What time is it?” he asked walking around in all his naked glory causing Kalista eyes to follow him hungrily as she drank him all in.
Last night she didn’t really get the chance to see his very endowed cock. It almost made her wonder how it fit in her. He was HUGE! And that was while he was flaccid she couldn’t imagine how big he would be when he was aroused. But she figured that she would find out soon enough, well that is if he wish for a repeat of last night, because she definitely would complain about it. Well at the moment maybe last night activities left her a very sore. It would be a couple of days before she allowed him to have sex with her again.
When he turned back to look at her her raised an elegant brow and gave her a cocky smirk, causing her to blush and turn her gaze away from him before she answered his question. “Almost ten in the morning.”
“I doubt it but we can stop by the kitchens before we head towards to the dormitories.” he told her. From his tone she could still tell that he was amused from he ogling which caused her blush to deepen.
“Sounds like a plan.”
“I going to hop in the shower right quick. Would you care to join me?” he asked her suggestively
“All I have is my costume from last night.” she told him with a slight frown.
“You can borrow some of my sweat pants and one of my shirts.”
“You have sweat pants?” She asked him astonished . “The Draco Lucius Malfoy owns a muggle pair of sweat pants?”
“Yes I do. I find them quite comfortable. I usually just wear them around the room, but I am. .no was willing to let you use them.” Draco huffed at her.
“I was just surprised. I didn’t mean to insult you. But I promise I can make it up to you if you allow me to take that shower with you.” Kalista leered at him.
“Can you now?” Draco asked her his eyes darkening with lust. “And how would you accomplish such a task.” he asked as he pulled her into his arms.
She smiled at him before she motioned for him to bend down so she could whisper in his ear. What she said was the most erotic thing he had ever heard it immediately caused him to harden. Once she felt his hardens through the sheet against her stomach she pulled back from him and dropped the sheet as she begun to make her way to the bathroom. As turned back to look at him and curled her finger at him telling him to follow her as she gave him a saucy smile. He didn’t need to be told twice, he followed her into the bathroom for a shower where he received the best blow job he had ever had. Needless to say she was instantly forgiven.
She'll be the death of me, he thought as he was coming down from his euphoric high.

Clad in a pair of Draco's black sweat pants and one of his Quidditch Jerseys Kalista walked hand in hand with Draco to the Kitchens. Before they had left his rooms she had looked him overly hungrily again. If she hadn’t seen him naked she would have told anyone that asked that Draco looked his sexiest in a pair of muggle jeans that hugged his ass just right but were not overly tight and a royal blue tee-shirt that brought out his silvery-blue eyes. The man was gorgeous in and out of his clothes. She seriously doubted there wasn’t anything that he couldn’t pull off.
“You remember yesterday when I asked you to design a dress for my mother?” Draco asked her as he led her to the kitchens.
“Yeah I remember.” She told him as she looked up at him. Which required her to tilt her head slightly since he was so tall. She barely made it up to his chest. She knew he had to be at least six foot four while she was only five foot three if that. They had to shrink the sweat pants so she wouldn’t be swimming in them and his jersey well that reached her calves. He laughed when he first saw her drowning in his huge clothes.
“Do you think you could do it for me? I have been looking for the perfect gift for her but nothing has sparked my interest.”
“Christmas isn’t for another month. You still have time.” Kalista asked trying to get her way out of it. Sure she would be honored to design the robes of the Narcissa Malfoy. But she was slightly intimidated by it as well. If the woman didn’t like the dress she would seriously feel dejected. The opinion of someone like Narcissa Malfoy could make or break a her career of designing clothes in the wizarding world.
“You can't talk your way out of this.” Draco told her as though he was reading her thoughts which caused her to scowl at him. “Please. I know you could make the perfect gift for her. I am even willing to pay you for it.”
“I don’t need your money Malfoy.” Kalista told him as she tore her hand from his and stopped walking. “You have only seen two of my works so far, what makes you so sure that I could even design something worthy of Narcissa Malfoy?”
“First, please don’t ever call me Malfoy. The only people that generally call me by my surname are people that I view below me, and you are not below me no matter what you may think. Second, I may have only seen two of your designs but what I saw I loved. Third, my mother may be somewhat of a fashionista, but she is not hard to please. Fourth, I believe in you. You have great potential to become an amazing designer you just have to stop berating yourself. And fifthly, if I am commissioning you to design a dress you deserved to be paid for it. I will let you come up with the price, but I am warning you now do not sell yourself cheap because I will not go for it.” Draco told her sternly but gently, before he took her hand back into his. His voice was softer when he spoke again. “Come on lets get you something to eat before you head back to the dormitories so your sister can tell you off.”
“Oh alright, you win. When we get back to the dorms you can look at some of my sketches to see what you like and personalize the designs for your mother's preferences. And you are going to have to get her measurements for me if I am going to do this.”
“I know my mother measurements by heart. The woman has dragged me off shopping with her one to many times.”
“Pssh, like you have a right to be complaining. If you have forgotten I have seen your magically enlarged wardrobe with is like twice the size as your room.”
“We Malfoys have to look good all the time and be prepared for any occasion.” He told her arrogantly as he put his nose in the air and puffed out his chest. “And that requires me to have an extensive wardrobe. It can't be helped. And soon I will make sure your wardrobe is just as filled as mine if not more.”
“Don’t get me wrong Draco. I love clothes and like to stay in style but to have a wardrobe as extensive as yours is unfathomable to me.”
“Well start to believe it Ms. Pavens, because I assure you I will make it so.” Draco said as he kissed her chastely on the lips before opening the doors to the kitchen.
~*~HPDM~*~
“Where have you been?!” Krista yelled at Kalista when she and Draco walked into the Common Rooms.
Draco cast warning glares all across the room as every one took in Kalista's appearance. Many among the Slytherins stared in shock. They knew Draco had many conquest but none that he personally escorted back to their dorms or spent the night with or even allowed to wear his clothing. That knowledge combined with the warning glares was enough to tell them that she belonged to their Ice Prince and any who dared try to take her from him would see why the Malfoy family was something to fear and respect.
“I have been calling you all morning!” Krista told her angrily. “I got back last night expecting to find you here. When I didn’t I figured you were just spending sometime with Draco, I wake up this morning and you are still not there! I go to breakfast thinking you were there. And guess what you weren’t! Where have you- Oh...” she said as she finally took in her sisters appearance and her hand clasped in Draco.
“Yeah” Kalista told her sheepishly. “I didn’t intend on staying out all night. But I was exhausted after everything that happened yesterday night.” she told her as she blushed at the memory of last night activities.
“Well next time give me some heads up.” Krista told her calmly.
“I'll try. I am going to head up to the room to change and to show Draco some sketches. You can entertain yourself for a little bit right?”
“Yeah, I am meeting up with Blaise in about fifteen minutes.”
“Oh, what are you two doing today?”
“He is taking me to Hogsmead for lunch and a bit of light shopping.”
“Well I hope you have fun. I’ll talk to you later.” Kalista said as she begun to drag Draco towards her and Krista's room.
Once inside she pushed him down on her bed and went to get her sketches from her trunk. Once she had handed that to her she begun to pull a change of clothes from her trunk and proceed to strip herself while he went through the sketch book.
“This is amazing.” He told her as he looked over the sketches in the book. It took him ten minutes to find the style of dress he wanted for his mother. The dress was beautiful it was only going to require a few changes to fit his mother's taste but for the most part it was complete. “Do you think you could do this one, but in a slightly more conservative design?” he asked her.
“Sure.” She said as she looked over the one that he picked before she pulled out a notebook so she could write down some of the changes and preferences he wanted before she got to work on designing it.
“And I also want it done in a dark blue something like midnight blue where it looks almost black. And the fabric I want to silk the best quality that you can find in that color. If you have problems finding it I know a couple of vendors that can help you.”
“That would be nice.”
“You can try Wilton Fabric Co. It is located in Diagon Alley not to far from Mr. Ollivanders. Than there is Madame Lamont's she has an good selection of materials that you can chose from. And then there is Kelley's Co. She usually has a better than the other two and is usually more accommodating as well. You can find her and Madame Lamont not far from Gringotts.”
“Thanks.” Kalista said as she wrote the names of the companies down in the notebook. “Is there anything else?”
“My mother is all about her shoes, so do you think that you can have the dress stop just before her ankles so she could show off any pair of shoes that she wears with it.”
“Sure. I have some designs if you wish to see some them to. They aren’t as plentiful as the dresses but it could give you an idea and you can dictate what you what added or changed.”
“I'll be glad to look at them.” Draco told her with a smile that she returned before going to go get the other sketch book from her trunk.
“And some of the designs may not be something that will capture...” her rambling was tuned out as Draco went through the sketch book. She was amazing. He didn’t understand how someone with so much talent could be so insecure with their work. He knew his mother would pay a fortune to get the shoes that she had designed. Many were muggle styles but his mother didn’t care when it came to her shoes as long as they were fashionable. If they were beautiful she would wear them no matter the discomfort they could cause and if Kalista could make them so they had minimal discomfort his mother wouldn’t think twice about taking her as one of her personal designers. “...just give me the book back. I am sure that we could-” Draco smacked her hands away before they could take the sketch book.
“You really need to stop being insecure. You talent is amazing. Do you know how to make the shoes or do you just design them?” Draco asked her as he looked up from the pair that would go with the dress that Kalista was designing.
“I took a class on how to do it during the summer. I wanted to be somewhat self-sufficient if I decided to go into fashion.”
“Good. Because I found the perfect pair that would go with the dress. There are a few others in the book that I am willing to commission you for. That way mother can have her choice if she doesn’t like the one I have picked out.”
“You are serious?”
“Deadly.” he said looking her straight in her eyes so she could see that he was very very very serious about wanting her to the dress and the shoes.
“Are you sure you are not telling I have talent just so you could get back into my pants.” Kalista asked coyly. She raised her eyebrow in amusement in a way that he had only seen his uncle Sev do. Which was weird because he was certain that they had never met. But he looked pasted that and smirked seductively at her.
“I can think of other ways to get into your pants. But if this helps me step into that direction than I will continue to humor you till I have reached my goal.”
“To bad then. You will have to hold out for a week, I am still sore.”
“I can think of other ways to get what we both want that won't cause you anymore discomfort.” Draco told her as he stood and pulled her into his arms. “But in all honesty, I think you are awesome. So tell me how much I will owe you for everything once you have it all sorted out, and I will have the goblins transfer it to your account.”
“I don’t want you to pay me till you know that your mother likes it. That way it wont be like I am stealing your money.” Kalista told him as she buried her head in his chest. She took a deep breath to breathe in his scent. He smelled like spice and honey. It was addicting, and was enough to driver her crazy with lust. But like she had told him earlier she was sore so she had pull herself away before she did something foolish.
“The fact that you spent time and effort into making the dress and the shoes means you need to be compensated no matter her reaction. I have already told you this, I will not take no for an answer and I definitely will not be having you sell yourself short.”
“Well how eager are you in knowing how much everything will cost?”
“Very, why?”
“Do you want to go to Diagon Alley today?”
“Sure.”
“Great, let me grab my purse and put on some shoes.”
“What made you start sketching clothes?” as they left her room
“The lack of me having proper ones of my own for a period of time in my life. I watched all these other people around me in their various stages of fashion. And what ever I imagined myself in I would sketch it so I could look at the pictures and continue to imagine myself in those pretty clothes while I was stuck in rags.”
“Why were you in rags?”
“After my parents died I went to go stay with my mother's sister and her family. They didn’t want me so they gave me my cousins clothes that he couldn’t wear anymore. And they were huge on me because he is the size of a baby whale.” Kalista said darkly
“You and Krista wasn’t always together?”
“No we weren’t. Not until we were eleven from then on we have been inseparable.” Kalista said trying to include most of the truth as she possibly could.
“How long did you have to stay with them?”
“Long enough. I really don’t want to talk about them. They are people that I would rather forget.”
“Then we don’t have to talk about them. But if and when you are ever ready to talk about them I am here to listen.”
“Thanks Draco.” Kalista said as she stood on her tip toes to give him a kiss but he still had to bend down to meet her lips because she was so short.
“Anytime. Now lets get out of this castle and go shopping.”
“We are going for appraisals on the materials I need to make your mothers shoes.”
“Aren’t we delusional today.” Draco said chuckling as he slid his arm around her waist. “We are going to Diagon Alley beautiful, every wizards and witches shopping heaven, made even more so by the end of the war with the Dark Lord two years ago.”
“I don’t have enough room in my wardrobe for much else.” Kalista said with a slight frown.
“Don’t worry I know where we can go to get you a special trunk for your clothes and anything else we may come pass today.”
“Draco you cant go shopping crazy. We have other things to do today as well besides spend all our time in Diagon Alley.”
“It is one o'clock I am sure that we have plenty of time to fit everything in, unless you wanted to start on the dress tonight?”
“No not really, I need to sleep on it so I can get the image right in my head before I sketch it down. And once that is done than I will have to tailor the shoes to fit the new image. Once all that is done than I begin to make the dress.” Kalista said going through her mental list. “Damn.” she said to herself when she realized she was missing something.
“What?”
“My mannequin I left it at home. I will have to get a new one while we are there. I hope this one can find one similar to it.”
“What so special about it?”
“Well I can set it to configure to your mothers measurements that you gave me. That way it will be her size but I will leave enough so when I go to do the final touches while she is wearing it than I will have room for adjustments.”
“Will you be able to make the adjustments the day before New Years Eve?”
“Yeah. I’ll be in the castle anyway so I can just apparate to your place.” Kalista said with a shrug.
“Wait, what? You are staying at the castle for the holidays?”
“Yeah, me and Krista don’t really want to portkey all the way home just to be by ourselves. This way we can be around other people.”
“Come stay at the Manor with me and my family. Blaise and his family are usually there for the holidays so Krista could still spend it with them.”
“I wouldn’t want to intrude on your family's holidays. And I think you will have enough people under one roof. From what you told me yesterday all of your family lives there. Your uncle and your aunt and their families have their own wings as do and your parents and your grandparents. If I remember correctly that is twenty two people, plus your godfather, his husband, and their three children, than Blaise. That's already twenty eight people already. I don’t wish to impose me and my sister on you as well.”
“Well it is really thirty one people. My cousin's girlfriend is coming along with Blaise's two cousins Franco and Luigi. So two more people won't hurt none. And really there are plenty of rooms in the Manor. We could invite twenty more people and their will still be rooms left. My family would be glad to have you.”
“What about your poor house elves won't the be overwhelmed with all the people in the house.
“On the regular they already take care of twenty two people they wont be overwhelmed with more. Besides everyone of my family members have their own personal house elf and Blaise is over so much he has one as well. The manor employs thirty six house elves I think that they will have it all covered.”
“Thirty six? Wow you Malfoy's love extravagance.”
“You have no idea how much. But if we need to be humble we are but other wise we like to show our wealth. All of us could not work for our lifetime and seven generations could follow the same pattern and we still will have money left.”
“What does your family do for work?” Kalista asked curiously.
“My father runs the family's law firm which I plan on taking over one day. My uncle Horace is into stocks muggle and wizards, my other uncle Tiberius heads a potions company he is one of the best potion masters in the world and my uncle Gaius works at the ministry's Wizengamot along with my aunt Rhea. What did your parents do before they passed?”
“My father was into law enforcement and my mother was a Healer.”
“What does your sister plan on doing for a career?”
“Probably write textbooks or go work at the Republic of Magic, which is the American equivalent of the Ministry of Magic here in the UK.”
“What is differences between the Ministry here and the Republic there?” Draco asked a bit curious. He had always heard their governments were different and even did a bit of reading on it but it wasn’t enough to really help him understand the differences between the two.
“It's more integrated into the muggles legal system. Granted the muggles that know are sworn to secrecy under powerful magic but it is almost easier to be yourself there. I miss it.” Kalista said thinking about the time she spent there for a month during the summer. “The werewolves aren’t prosecuted, vampires aren’t severely hunted down, and or any other magical creature like they are here in Europe. They have rights and are allowed to have normal lives. They still have to register but so does everyone else with magic and the werewolves and vampires aren’t hunted down like beast and restricted of their freedoms.”
“Isn’t that somewhat dangerous for those that do not wish to abide by the laws.” Draco asked slightly appalled at the American leniency towards werewolves and Vampires.
“That could be said about anyone wizard, witch or muggle. They are not all bad and nor should they be treated as such. Those that break the laws face the consequences like every other person. They are people just like the rest of us and should be treated as such. To degraded them as the Ministry of Magic does here or what the rest of the European Governments do is cruel and barbaric and until they know how to change they will always be fighting the darker sides of magic because they are the reason it exist.”
“How so?”
“Someone like Voldemort knows how to play on people weakness to get them to do what he wants.” Kalista said turning towards him. “That is how he employed the giants and werewolves. Your governments beat them down so bad that they turned to the only person that seemed to care for them. By degrading so much, your government pushed them into the welcoming arms of the Voldemort. As it will continue to do when the next dark wizard or witch comes into existence.”
“I never thought about it that way.” Draco said with a frown as they walked out of the castle.
“Well now that I have given you insight make sure you apply it when you start to work as a Solicitor. And see if you can get your aunt and uncle opinion of it since they work for the Wizengamot.”
“I'll see what I can do.”
When Draco woke in the morning he felt restful a feeling he hadn’t had in a long while. He also felt pleasantly warm for a while it took him a moment to remember why he felt the way he did. And once he remember it brought a smile to his face. When he opened his eyes he was greeted by the sight of two emerald orbs of Kalista's staring up at him with a smile on her face.

“Where have you been?!” Krista yelled at Kalista when she and Draco walked into the Common Rooms.
Draco cast warning glares all across the room as every one took in Kalista's appearance. Many among the Slytherins stared in shock. They knew Draco had many conquest but none that he personally escorted back to their dorms or spent the night with or even allowed to wear his clothing. That knowledge combined with the warning glares was enough to tell them that she belonged to their Ice Prince and any who dared try to take her from him would see why the Malfoy family was something to fear and respect.
“I have been calling you all morning!” Krista told her angrily. “I got back last night expecting to find you here. When I didn’t I figured you were just spending sometime with Draco, I wake up this morning and you are still not there! I go to breakfast thinking you were there. And guess what you weren’t! Where have you- Oh...” she said as she finally took in her sisters appearance and her hand clasped in Draco.
“Yeah” Kalista told her sheepishly. “I didn’t intend on staying out all night. But I was exhausted after everything that happened yesterday night.” she told her as she blushed at the memory of last night activities.
“Well next time give me some heads up.” Krista told her calmly.
“I'll try. I am going to head up to the room to change and to show Draco some sketches. You can entertain yourself for a little bit right?”
“Yeah, I am meeting up with Blaise in about fifteen minutes.”
“Oh, what are you two doing today?”
“He is taking me to Hogsmead for lunch and a bit of light shopping.”
“Well I hope you have fun. I’ll talk to you later.” Kalista said as she begun to drag Draco towards her and Krista's room.
Once inside she pushed him down on her bed and went to get her sketches from her trunk. Once she had handed that to her she begun to pull a change of clothes from her trunk and proceed to strip herself while he went through the sketch book.
“This is amazing.” He told her as he looked over the sketches in the book. It took him ten minutes to find the style of dress he wanted for his mother. The dress was beautiful it was only going to require a few changes to fit his mother's taste but for the most part it was complete. “Do you think you could do this one, but in a slightly more conservative design?” he asked her.
“Sure.” She said as she looked over the one that he picked before she pulled out a notebook so she could write down some of the changes and preferences he wanted before she got to work on designing it.
“And I also want it done in a dark blue something like midnight blue where it looks almost black. And the fabric I want to silk the best quality that you can find in that color. If you have problems finding it I know a couple of vendors that can help you.”
“That would be nice.”
“You can try Wilton Fabric Co. It is located in Diagon Alley not to far from Mr. Ollivanders. Than there is Madame Lamont's she has an good selection of materials that you can chose from. And then there is Kelley's Co. She usually has a better than the other two and is usually more accommodating as well. You can find her and Madame Lamont not far from Gringotts.”
“Thanks.” Kalista said as she wrote the names of the companies down in the notebook. “Is there anything else?”
“My mother is all about her shoes, so do you think that you can have the dress stop just before her ankles so she could show off any pair of shoes that she wears with it.”
“Sure. I have some designs if you wish to see some them to. They aren’t as plentiful as the dresses but it could give you an idea and you can dictate what you what added or changed.”
“I'll be glad to look at them.” Draco told her with a smile that she returned before going to go get the other sketch book from her trunk.
“And some of the designs may not be something that will capture...” her rambling was tuned out as Draco went through the sketch book. She was amazing. He didn’t understand how someone with so much talent could be so insecure with their work. He knew his mother would pay a fortune to get the shoes that she had designed. Many were muggle styles but his mother didn’t care when it came to her shoes as long as they were fashionable. If they were beautiful she would wear them no matter the discomfort they could cause and if Kalista could make them so they had minimal discomfort his mother wouldn’t think twice about taking her as one of her personal designers. “...just give me the book back. I am sure that we could-” Draco smacked her hands away before they could take the sketch book.
“You really need to stop being insecure. You talent is amazing. Do you know how to make the shoes or do you just design them?” Draco asked her as he looked up from the pair that would go with the dress that Kalista was designing.
“I took a class on how to do it during the summer. I wanted to be somewhat self-sufficient if I decided to go into fashion.”
“Good. Because I found the perfect pair that would go with the dress. There are a few others in the book that I am willing to commission you for. That way mother can have her choice if she doesn’t like the one I have picked out.”
“You are serious?”
“Deadly.” he said looking her straight in her eyes so she could see that he was very very very serious about wanting her to the dress and the shoes.
“Are you sure you are not telling I have talent just so you could get back into my pants.” Kalista asked coyly. She raised her eyebrow in amusement in a way that he had only seen his uncle Sev do. Which was weird because he was certain that they had never met. But he looked pasted that and smirked seductively at her.
“I can think of other ways to get into your pants. But if this helps me step into that direction than I will continue to humor you till I have reached my goal.”
“To bad then. You will have to hold out for a week, I am still sore.”
“I can think of other ways to get what we both want that won't cause you anymore discomfort.” Draco told her as he stood and pulled her into his arms. “But in all honesty, I think you are awesome. So tell me how much I will owe you for everything once you have it all sorted out, and I will have the goblins transfer it to your account.”
“I don’t want you to pay me till you know that your mother likes it. That way it wont be like I am stealing your money.” Kalista told him as she buried her head in his chest. She took a deep breath to breathe in his scent. He smelled like spice and honey. It was addicting, and was enough to driver her crazy with lust. But like she had told him earlier she was sore so she had pull herself away before she did something foolish.
“The fact that you spent time and effort into making the dress and the shoes means you need to be compensated no matter her reaction. I have already told you this, I will not take no for an answer and I definitely will not be having you sell yourself short.”
“Well how eager are you in knowing how much everything will cost?”
“Very, why?”
“Do you want to go to Diagon Alley today?”
“Sure.”
“Great, let me grab my purse and put on some shoes.”
“What made you start sketching clothes?” as they left her room
“The lack of me having proper ones of my own for a period of time in my life. I watched all these other people around me in their various stages of fashion. And what ever I imagined myself in I would sketch it so I could look at the pictures and continue to imagine myself in those pretty clothes while I was stuck in rags.”
“Why were you in rags?”
“After my parents died I went to go stay with my mother's sister and her family. They didn’t want me so they gave me my cousins clothes that he couldn’t wear anymore. And they were huge on me because he is the size of a baby whale.” Kalista said darkly
“You and Krista wasn’t always together?”
“No we weren’t. Not until we were eleven from then on we have been inseparable.” Kalista said trying to include most of the truth as she possibly could.
“How long did you have to stay with them?”
“Long enough. I really don’t want to talk about them. They are people that I would rather forget.”
“Then we don’t have to talk about them. But if and when you are ever ready to talk about them I am here to listen.”
“Thanks Draco.” Kalista said as she stood on her tip toes to give him a kiss but he still had to bend down to meet her lips because she was so short.
“Anytime. Now lets get out of this castle and go shopping.”
“We are going for appraisals on the materials I need to make your mothers shoes.”
“Aren’t we delusional today.” Draco said chuckling as he slid his arm around her waist. “We are going to Diagon Alley beautiful, every wizards and witches shopping heaven, made even more so by the end of the war with the Dark Lord two years ago.”
“I don’t have enough room in my wardrobe for much else.” Kalista said with a slight frown.
“Don’t worry I know where we can go to get you a special trunk for your clothes and anything else we may come pass today.”
“Draco you cant go shopping crazy. We have other things to do today as well besides spend all our time in Diagon Alley.”
“It is one o'clock I am sure that we have plenty of time to fit everything in, unless you wanted to start on the dress tonight?”
“No not really, I need to sleep on it so I can get the image right in my head before I sketch it down. And once that is done than I will have to tailor the shoes to fit the new image. Once all that is done than I begin to make the dress.” Kalista said going through her mental list. “Damn.” she said to herself when she realized she was missing something.
“What?”
“My mannequin I left it at home. I will have to get a new one while we are there. I hope this one can find one similar to it.”
“What so special about it?”
“Well I can set it to configure to your mothers measurements that you gave me. That way it will be her size but I will leave enough so when I go to do the final touches while she is wearing it than I will have room for adjustments.”
“Will you be able to make the adjustments the day before New Years Eve?”
“Yeah. I’ll be in the castle anyway so I can just apparate to your place.” Kalista said with a shrug.
“Wait, what? You are staying at the castle for the holidays?”
“Yeah, me and Krista don’t really want to portkey all the way home just to be by ourselves. This way we can be around other people.”
“Come stay at the Manor with me and my family. Blaise and his family are usually there for the holidays so Krista could still spend it with them.”
“I wouldn’t want to intrude on your family's holidays. And I think you will have enough people under one roof. From what you told me yesterday all of your family lives there. Your uncle and your aunt and their families have their own wings as do and your parents and your grandparents. If I remember correctly that is twenty two people, plus your godfather, his husband, and their three children, than Blaise. That's already twenty eight people already. I don’t wish to impose me and my sister on you as well.”
“Well it is really thirty one people. My cousin's girlfriend is coming along with Blaise's two cousins Franco and Luigi. So two more people won't hurt none. And really there are plenty of rooms in the Manor. We could invite twenty more people and their will still be rooms left. My family would be glad to have you.”
“What about your poor house elves won't the be overwhelmed with all the people in the house.
“On the regular they already take care of twenty two people they wont be overwhelmed with more. Besides everyone of my family members have their own personal house elf and Blaise is over so much he has one as well. The manor employs thirty six house elves I think that they will have it all covered.”
“Thirty six? Wow you Malfoy's love extravagance.”
“You have no idea how much. But if we need to be humble we are but other wise we like to show our wealth. All of us could not work for our lifetime and seven generations could follow the same pattern and we still will have money left.”
“What does your family do for work?” Kalista asked curiously.
“My father runs the family's law firm which I plan on taking over one day. My uncle Horace is into stocks muggle and wizards, my other uncle Tiberius heads a potions company he is one of the best potion masters in the world and my uncle Gaius works at the ministry's Wizengamot along with my aunt Rhea. What did your parents do before they passed?”
“My father was into law enforcement and my mother was a Healer.”
“What does your sister plan on doing for a career?”
“Probably write textbooks or go work at the Republic of Magic, which is the American equivalent of the Ministry of Magic here in the UK.”
“What is differences between the Ministry here and the Republic there?” Draco asked a bit curious. He had always heard their governments were different and even did a bit of reading on it but it wasn’t enough to really help him understand the differences between the two.
“It's more integrated into the muggles legal system. Granted the muggles that know are sworn to secrecy under powerful magic but it is almost easier to be yourself there. I miss it.” Kalista said thinking about the time she spent there for a month during the summer. “The werewolves aren’t prosecuted, vampires aren’t severely hunted down, and or any other magical creature like they are here in Europe. They have rights and are allowed to have normal lives. They still have to register but so does everyone else with magic and the werewolves and vampires aren’t hunted down like beast and restricted of their freedoms.”
“Isn’t that somewhat dangerous for those that do not wish to abide by the laws.” Draco asked slightly appalled at the American leniency towards werewolves and Vampires.
“That could be said about anyone wizard, witch or muggle. They are not all bad and nor should they be treated as such. Those that break the laws face the consequences like every other person. They are people just like the rest of us and should be treated as such. To degraded them as the Ministry of Magic does here or what the rest of the European Governments do is cruel and barbaric and until they know how to change they will always be fighting the darker sides of magic because they are the reason it exist.”
“How so?”
“Someone like Voldemort knows how to play on people weakness to get them to do what he wants.” Kalista said turning towards him. “That is how he employed the giants and werewolves. Your governments beat them down so bad that they turned to the only person that seemed to care for them. By degrading so much, your government pushed them into the welcoming arms of the Voldemort. As it will continue to do when the next dark wizard or witch comes into existence.”
“I never thought about it that way.” Draco said with a frown as they walked out of the castle.
“Well now that I have given you insight make sure you apply it when you start to work as a Solicitor. And see if you can get your aunt and uncle opinion of it since they work for the Wizengamot.”
“I'll see what I can do.”
