Chapter Twelve

“Wow.” Was the first thing Kalista said when they walked into one of the ballrooms in Hogwarts she didn’t even know such a place existed among these halls. It was absolutely stunning. The ceiling was charmed like the one in the Great Hall but this one was different it didn’t show what the sky looked like at the moment because if it did it would reflect dark heavy rain clouds. But this one reflected a sky so clear and beautiful she didn’t think she ever seen such a sight in England. There was even the occasional bird flying across the beautiful sky. The rest of the room was tastefully done in gold and silver. There were round tables spread all over the room. Some were already filled but most where empty since their would be occupants were spread across the entire room mingling.

From across the Hall she could see her sister sitting with Blaise and a few other people she didn’t recognize but she could tell they were definitely from the Zabini family.

“How is it that my sister got here before the two of us when we were the ones that woke her?” She asked Draco who had his arm wrapped around her waist keeping her close.

“I think that has something to do with her not nearly passing out after an incredible shower.” he told her with a cocky smile on his lips.

“Yes well you did make it worth getting up at six in the morning. I was thoroughly pleased.” she told him in a husky voice. “Wouldn't mind a repeat.”

“You keep this up love, and we won’t be making it through this banquet.” he told her as he brought his lips close to her ears making shivers run through her body.

“Stop trying to seduce Kalista in the middle of a Banquet Draco our parents and grandparents are here.” Caius told him from behind him.

“Are they now?” Draco said sweeping his eyes across the room till the landed on his family. His father were currently engaged in a conversation with the Parkinson family. His Grandparents were talking with the Elder Zabini’s. And his aunts and uncles were talking amongst themselves and some of the sponsors that were in attendance. But even through their various conversations he could tell out of the corner of all their eyes they were watching him. “So it would seem cousin. I did not expect the whole family to turn out.” He said turning to Caius.

“Yes well, I don’t think none of us did. At the most I thought the grandparents and your parents but it would seem as though we were both wrong.”

“Well we might as well get the introductions done.” Draco said tightening his grip on Kalista’s waist. “We should probably introduce them to your sister as well.” Draco said as they started walking towards his and Caius Family.

“They have already met Krista. When Blaise was introducing her to his family our family was among the introductions.”

“How nice of you to join us Draco.” His grandfather said to him when they finally reached them.

“I sorry for the delay grandfather getting ready this morning took a bit longer than expected.”

“Yes well you should plan you mornings more thoroughly if you are going to spend the beginning of it frolicking around.” He said turing his sharp eyes to Kalista who was blushing a bright red. And had her eyes adverted to the ground.

“Grandfather please, you are embarrassing my date.” Draco said bring Kalista tighter to his side as though he was trying to protect her from his grandfather’s harsh words.

“I assume this is the sister to the Zabini boy girlfriend. Kalista?” His grandmother asked running interference.

“Yes she is grandmother. Kalista this is my Grandfather Vitalis and my grandmother Lynette. This is my Father Lucius and my mother Narcissa. My Uncles Horace, Tiberius, and Gaius and their wives Isolde, Vivien, and Scarlette. And this is my Uncle Vilmas he is my aunt Rhea’s husband. And over here is Lord Zabini and his wife Lady Zabini. Their son Ricci and his wife Cira. Their other sone Orlando and his wife Terra, Blaise’s parents.”

“It is a pleasure to meet you all.” Kalista said with a polite smile.

“Draco dear you didn’t have to introduce us as Lord and Lady, we are not that Prude.” Lady Zabini said to him before turning to Kalista. “I’m Camila and this is Sergio.” she said offering her a small smile before she turned to Draco and Caius. “Darin and Bianca couldn't make it Lia has Dragon Pox.”

“I am sorry to hear that. Will she be okay?” Draco asked her.

“She will be fine dear. She has been given her medicines all she needs now is rest. You know how devastated she would have been if she was to miss the first of the games.”

“Someone would have to share the memory with her if that was to happen. And I don’t even think that would have been enough to console her.” Narcissa said with a small smile on her lips.

“No I don’t think it would have.” Camila said with a light laugh.

“So girl,” Vitalis said to her cutting through everyone else conversation. “What are your plans once the school year is over.”

“I plan on being gone before the end of the school year. Krista and I have to return home to take our NEWTs in February.”

“And where are you girls from?” Lynette asked her.

“The States ma’am.”

“Will you be coming back to see the rest of the Tournament?”

“I would like to. But it probably won’t happen. We have family business to take care of in the States. And there is only so much of England me and sister can take.”

“And why is that?” Vitalis asked gruffly.

“There are somethings here that we would rather put behind us sir. And lingering to long here wouldn't do well with that.”

“And what about Draco? Is he one of the things you are trying to put behind you?” Narcissa asked as any concerned mother should.

“No ma’am. Draco is actually one of the best things that has happened to me. And for him I would stay here in this Dreary place but for the sake of my sanity I think it would be best to return home.”

“And once you return home what do you plan on doing?” Vitalis asked.

“I don’t know just yet. Draco is trying to encourage me to follow my passion for fashion. But I don’t know if that is what I wish to peruse for a career. I thought of just traveling the world with my sister for a year or two. Giving us both the chance to be free of everything for sometime. And after we had our fill of seeing the world we can finally settle down and peruse various dreams. Drifting to one thing to the next tell we find a career that would make us both happy.”

“And you have the finances to have such an unstable lifestyle?”

“Yes sir we do. But I wouldn't necessarily call it unstable. We are just trying to find what is right for us and can’t really do that if don’t experience living life and different jobs. But in the end who knows. I could end up being the fashion designer Draco encourages me to be and my sister could be the Curator she has been looking into. Or life is full of possibilities for once, and we attend to go after them.”

“And what of Draco where does he fit into your plans?” Lucius asked

“Father-”

“No, Draco it is a question that should be asked. From what your cousins tell me you have your heart set on her. If she was to be traveling the world or perusing dreams in the America’s where do you fit into all of this.”

“Draco is very important to me Mr. Malfoy. And I would love to be with him, but a life in England isn’t possible for me and my sister. There are too many people and memories here that we can’t possibly have a comfortable life. If it would be better for Draco to court someone else than that is for him to decide. But Draco is not ignorant of my plans and knows what they apply. And if he can’t handle my plans he is free to walk away.”

“Draco’s life is here in England not traveling around the world.” Vitalis said.

“Draco’s life is to be whatever he wants it to be Lord Malfoy. And you or no one else can change that. And to try to, to manipulate him into doing something you wish him to do is only going to drive him away.”

“You sound as though you know this from experience?”

“I do. And it is the reason I will be leaving England.”

“That is enough Vitalis the child had said her piece. And she is right Draco’s dreams are his own just as hers are.” Lynette said to her husband as she placed a calming hand on his chest. “They have the right to be young and free souls, do not burden them with your ancient so called wisdom. They have their own lives and dreams to go after. Even their own mistakes.”

“Thank you grandmother.” Draco said kissing her on the cheek.

“Anytime Dear. Now you all go mingle with everyone else.”

“Yes grandmother.” Draco and Caius said at the same time Kalista just gave a grateful smile and a nod of her head.

“Well that went well.” Caius said as they walked away. “I have never seen someone stand toe to toe with all the Malfoy Family. You did well.” he said to Kalista.

“I only told them the truth. England is not home for me. Some very manipulative people in my life made sure of that. The only way for my sister and I to be happy is away from this place. The only reason we are here was to add this to our last memories and travels. But the reason we have stayed that is another matter all together.” Kalista said flashing her eyes to Draco with a gentle smile. “And those reasons are nothing to complain about.”

“You know I would follow you where ever you go.”

“I do. But before you do that make sure it is something that you are sure will make you happy.”

“Being with you is what makes me happy I don’t think anything will change that. No matter the secrets you keep from me.”
