"You know," Malfoy started, "I think I envied your dad and uncle, Arabella. Maddie was such an amazing person. Fun loving and definitely funny. I wish I was on her good side." He said. I smiled and he returned it. "Shall I accompany you two to the platform?" We both nodded.

**********************

Halfway through the train ride, I received a letter from my dad. I sent a letter to him earlier asking if I could go to the Malfoy's. In his sloppy handwriting, it wrote:

Sure. Have Mr. Malfoy apparate you home. See you tonight.

Love Dad

I stuffed the letter in my pocket as I joined the conversation that Mr. Malfoy and his son were having.

Upon arriving at the Platform, both Elliot and I grabbed our trunks and practically ran off the train. "Yes! Summer Vacation!" I said gleefully. Elliot laughed at me and I just gave him a look. We waited on the Platform until Mr. Malfoy returned. He grabbed both of our arms and we apparated out. We arrived at a very large mansion.

It was like a mini castle! Ivy grew up the walls as it loomed over us. Hedges surround the whole house, giving it a secure feeling. "This is your house?" I blurted. They both laughed.

"Yes it is. Now come on!" Elliot squealed. He grabbed my hand and we ran to the large mahogany doors. He pushed them open and took a big breath. "WE'RE HOME!" He shouted. There was a pop! to my left and a house elf appeared and grabbed Elliot's trunk and then left. Another did the same to my trunk.

A little boy popped his head around the corner and he smile. "Elliot!" He squealed while launching himself onto him. Elliot fell to the ground and started laughing. The little boy noticed me and smiled. "Hello. I'm Scorpius."

"Oh hello." I said shyly. "I'm Arabella." He smiled at me before running over to his dad.

"Elliot? Is that you? Come here to the kitchen will you?" A feminine voice said. He grinned and pulled me along to the kitchen. Geez this place is huge!

"Hello mum!" Elliot said while giving his mum a hug. She hugged him back tenderly. "I missed you."

"Missed you too El." She replied. This was so cute! Elliot's mum noticed me and smile. "Oh hello. You must be Arabella. You can call me Astoria." She said while holding her hand out. I shook it and smiled. "You and Elliot can have a seat at the table, dinner's almost ready." Elliot lead met to another room with a large table. It was eerie in a way. He sat down and I sat next to him.

"So El." I smirked. His face turned a bright red. "Oh don't be embarrassed! It's cute!" I giggle. He turned even more red. "You've got quite a house here."

"Oh geez I know!" He started. "There are so many floors and secret passage ways! It's like a mini version of Hogwarts really!" He laughed. "We even have a giant maze made from the hedges! But mum  and dad won't let us go in there until we can use magic legally." He said.

"You're darn right." Mr. Malfoy said as he appeared at the table. He had changed, he was wearing a button up collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up. On his left arm was a faint black tattoo of some sort. "It's too dangerous out there. I haven't even been out there in awhile." He commented.

"Dinner's ready!" Astoria called. Scorpius appeared out of nowhere and sat next to his father. Plates filled with food floated over to the table and house elves handed out dinner plates. Astoria sat on the other side of her husband. When everything was settle, we started dinner. "So Arabella, tell us how you met Elliot."

I started to laugh. "I was actually talking to my- well he actually isn't my cousin but I consider him to be, Teddy Lupin about the Hogwarts houses. I told Teddy that Gryffindor was the best house and then Elliot showed up saying that it was Slytherin. Then we got some candy." I laughed. They laughed with me and I looked at Elliot who was grinning.

"How cute." Astoria commented. "And are you on the Quidditch team?" She asked while taking a bite of her steak.

"Yes actually, I play Seeker." I replied.

"Oh just like Elliot! Who got the Snitch first game?" She asked me. I laughed and scratched my head.

"I think it was me, right Elliot?" He laughed.

"Yes Bells, it was you." His parents looked confused. "She used the Plumpton Pass on me and I got confused. I asked her where the Snitch went and she got hit in the head with a Bludger. Fell over fifty feet she did! I tried to save her but didn't reach her in time. Even McGonagall tried to save her but she dropped her wand!" He exclaimed.

"What were the injuries?" Elliot's mum asked.

"Umm.. a concussion, broken ribs and wrist, and a bruised back." I replied.

"That's horrible!" She gasped. I nodded and took another bite of the delicious food. "And how were your classes Draco?" I turned to Mr. Malfoy as he put his glass of water back on the table.

"Quite well. Some of the children.. oh they really need work. But majority of them are way more advanced than I was at their age." He chuckled. "Arabella for example, she's wicked good at the Disarming Charm! Same with Elliot." I blushed furiously and looked down at my plate.

"Thank you." I muttered. Elliot laughed and nudged me.

"You are going to have to get used to my parents Bells, I mean, you are going to be here often this summer!" I smiled at him and nodded.

When dinner ended, I grabbed my trunk and school things from the drawing room. "Thank you Mrs. and Mr. Malfoy for the wonderful dinner. It was quite delicious."

"Oh no worries dear, I hope to see you again soon!" Astoria said. "Elliot! Hurry up! They're waiting for you!" She called to her son. He came bounding down the stairs with a brown leather book in his hand.

"Sorry mum. Arabella forgot her diary in my room." He said while shoving the book in my hand. That is definitely not my book, let alone diary.

"Ready?" Mr. Malfoy asked. I nodded and he grabbed my hand and I gripped onto my trunk while Elliot grabbed onto his father's other hand. Then we diapparated.

I landed on the couch of my living room. Elliot and Mr. Malfoy following. We started laughing when my dad entered the room. "Dad!" I squeaked while flinging my arms around him.

"Hey Bells. I'm glad you're home." He said while giving me a tight squeeze. When I retreated from the hug, I saw Elliot standing there awkwardly.

"Oh dad, this is Elliot Malfoy and erm- Mr. Malfoy." I said gesturing to them. My dad shook hands with Elliot and then moved to Mr. Malfoy.

"Long time no see Draco. How's Astoria?" He grinned. Mr. Malofy smiled.

"She's great. Thanks for asking." He replied. "Um, thanks for letting your daughter come over. She's really well behaved and we hope to see her again."

"That's good to hear." Dad replied.

"Well, we'll see you soon Bells!" Elliot said as he hugged me. He returned to his father's side and smiled. "Thank you again Mr. Weasley." He said to dad.

"Goodbye!" I said to them both. They both waved goodbye and disapparated. Dad turned to me and smirked.

"So you and this Elliot boy, huh?"
