"Darling, breakfast, invite Charles." Madelena calls to her daughter.

Elise giggles and locks eyes with Charles. "Charlie, would you care to join us for breakfast?"

"It would be my honour, Elise," He raises in his seat and offers his arm to Elise and leads her to the dining room.

"Elise, your friend has requested your presence. I'm afraid you're going to have to step away for a moment." Victor tells his daughter, Elise signs, lets go of Charlie's arm and excuses herself to find her friend, Draco.

"Kristy, which room is he in?" She calls.

"Furthest from your room, at the end of the hall and turn left," she said smiling.

"Thank you!" She called as she begins to walk.

She takes her sweet time getting to Draco's room. "What happened? Have a bag dream," Elise rests on the door frame, and watches Draco. He is sitting on his bed, dressed in his familiar black suit.

Draco rolled his eyes. "I'm here to remind you that though your parents have chosen a suitor for you, you're still stuck with me." He snarls.

"Hogwarts does not get to choose who I marry, I do." She says proudly and whips her head around.

"Well, are you doing to invite me to breakfast, Elise?" He smirks at her back, as she turns back to face him with an annoyed glance.

"I don't think I have a choice, let's go." She says grumpily and he follows her to diner.

Breafast passes by, full of death glares and nothing but silence from Draco, laughs and deep discussions between Elise's parents and Charles. Elise merely smiled and nodded with her eyes on Charles.

"I must go," Charles insists after, checking the time on his shiny watch, his eyes smiling at Elise's.

"Oh must you?" Elise's mother says.

"Yes, I should be checking into my business." He smiles politely to Victor then rises in his seat and walks to where Elise sat, across him, and takes her hand. "I hope to see you very soon, Elise." He bows his head to her hand, and gives it a light kiss, sending butterflies through Elise's entire body.

She smiles with pink cheeks and watches him leave, before going back to finishing her breakfast slowly.

Draco breathes deeply, getting I intense stares from Elise's parents, but not from her, as she was far too busy.

"Would now be a good time to speak to them about The Baby Assignment, Elise." Draco eyes her. But she is smiling away at her breakfast.

He tried clearing his throat, "Elise?" He says a little louder, remembering his mother telling him to never raise his voice louder than his regular tone. He grows annoyed quickly though, and slams his fist down on the table startling everyone at it.

"Merlin's beard!" Madelena gasps. "You dare do that in our house." She says angrily. Draco ignores her, and continues to star into Elise's eyes, which were now looking at his.

"You dare ignore my wife!" Barks Victor moments later, standing now. Draco continues to ignore them and stare at Elise.

Finally Madelan had enough of the ignoring and stood herself, and walked up to Draco. He stood still, as if Elise had frozen him in place. Elise saw her mother walk to him and looked away, breaking the immediate eye contact.

Draco blinked right before Madelena raised her hand and slaps the blonde boy across the face, for mere disrespect. Now, Elise was the one frozen.
