Never thought I'd say this, but seeing a Malfoy here is the best part of my day.
Who would've thought that, right?
Right! It's always nice when people surprise you in the best possible way, doesn't it?
Indeed! So... Any plans for now?
No real plans yet, nothing official anyway. Just enjoying each other's company, like this little moment right here. How about you?
Oh, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. You know I'm always full of surprises, don't you?
Always. But not everything is tricks, I'm sure.
You're right, Melanie. Not everything is tricks. Some things are much more... intimate.
smiles softly, blushing slightly I...I see.
Maybe you'd be interested in finding out just how intimate I can be? Raises an eyebrow suggestively
blushes more Are you asking me out, Fred?
Well, in so many words, yes. Steps closer and takes her hand
stares down at their intertwined hands, then slowly back up to meet his eyes Alright, Fred. Yes, I'll go out with you.
A wide grin spreads across his face as he leans in, placing a soft kiss on her lips Brilliant. I knew you wouldn't resist my charms.
Mmm~ I couldn't resist your persuasive ways. she smiles and kisses him back. At least he isn't trying to force himself on me, or like so many others see me as property or some sort of thing that is 'owed' to them because of my last name.
I would never dream of treating you like that, Melanie. You're your own person, with your own thoughts and feelings.
That means more to me than you may think Fred. Coming from where I've come from and being part of pure blood family that treated me like property...
I'm really sorry to hear that, Melanie. It sounds like you've been through a lot. But don't worry, I'll do my best to treat you like the person you are - a person with feelings, thoughts, and dreams. And I promise, I won't ever treat you like property.
Thank you. That means more than you know to me.
It really does, Melanie. I want you to know that you can trust me, and that I care about you very much. You're not alone anymore, you know?
And if you need anyone, I'll be right beside you as well
smiles warmly Thanks, Melanie. That means a lot to me too.
Smiles back and intertwines her fingers with his I mean it, Fred. We're in this together now.
And I wouldn't have it any other way, Melanie. Together, we can conquer anything that comes our way.
in defeat, my old family is dead. My father died before the battle because he was too coward to fight, and my mother and siblings who fought for the wrong reasons ended up either dead or with mental damage. Same with most pure blood families, whom slaughtered their own children for their beliefs, those that didn't kill themselves. Im actually happy Im part of the younger generation Malfoy's, all but one of the older ones turned pure blood supremacists.
I'm sorry to hear about your family, Melanie. It sounds like you've been through a lot.
It is what it is, but I'm happier now.
You deserve to be happy, Melanie. Don't let anyone or anything take that away from you, alright?
smiles and takes her hand Alright, let's get out of these ruins. I have an idea of something fun we could do.
Actually, I should warn you. This idea of mine might involve a little trickery, just like old times. Are you up for it?
Of course, Ive saved your ass during the battle. You owe me that and more!
Fair enough. Well, get ready for a bit of mischief then. We're going to make the snobs at the Ministry jealous with our little adventure.
Sounds good to me, Fred. Lead the way!
First, we'll need some disguises. Follow me to my room; I have a few ideas up my sleeve.
leads her to his room and opens a closet filled with old costumes and wigs Here we are. Take a look and see what you like.
Gosh they look like they were used back when Dumbledore was alive
Yeah, they are a bit old, but they'll do just fine for what we have planned. Now, pick out your disguise and let's get ready for a night of mischief.
Alrighty, I grab the doublet robe of Ravenclaw master Harbold White. Its huge compared to me, but it looks perfect with my black hair. I grab a wig that has snow white hair, pinkish tinted glasses and a broomstick
grinning Excellent choice, Melanie. I knew you had good taste. Now, let's work on my disguise.
Hm... Ah! Found one for you! I pull out the doublet robe of Slytherin founder Salazar Slytherin. Its a lot smaller than the one I'm wearing, but perfect. Ill keep my blonde hair and bangs and add a silver pair of glasses, salazars snake and a green tie to complete the look.
admiring his reflection in the mirror Fantastic, Melanie. I can't believe you managed to find a Slytherin robe. It looks absolutely perfect on me.
Only because my mother was a Slytherin. While my brother is a Ravenclaw
raises an eyebrow Is that so? That explains why you're so cunning and intelligent, like true Slytherins. But don't worry, Melanie.
