A question (Blaise and Nix Drabble #2)

“Why does Lux not like me?” Nix asked Blaise. “Lux doesn’t like many people”, Blaise said. “But why?” Nix asked. Lux was waiting at the Slytherin portrait. “Oh hey Lux”, Blaise said. “Draco needs to speak with you. Go”, Lux said, “I’ll keep Phoenix company”. Blaise went inside. “Follow me”, Lux said. She took Nix to the Black Lake. “So, you wanna know my past?” Lux asked, “When I was very young, my parents and brother died in a horrible fire. My magic saved me that day. Dumbledore placed me with an average magical family. I was 11 when I met Draco the first time. I ran into him, quite literally, in Diagon Alley. When I turned 13, my family died in a car crash. One day, Draco ran into me, literally. That was the day I became part of the Slytherin circle. I started dating Blaise and he cheated on me with Pansy. Around 5^th year was when Draco began showing an interest in me. So you see, I don’t hate you. I’m just afraid that you’ll take my place”. “I would never to do that”, Nix told her, “They respect and love you”. “Maybe I won’t kill you”, Lux said joking. Although, Nix wasn’t so sure she was.

Valentine break-up (Draco and Lux Drabble #30)

“Where have you been?” Blaise asked. “With Draco”, Lux said. “All day?” Blaise hissed, “You’re my girlfriend!” “Oh like you’re one to talk!” Lux yelled. “What’s that supposed to mean?!” Blaise yelled. “I know you’ve been screwing Pansy for the last month”, Lux said. “Then what are you doing with Malfoy?” Blaise asked. Lux lost it and slapped Blaise. “How dare you suggest that Draco deflowered me!” Lux screamed, “You’re so stupid Blaise Zabini!” Lux stormed upstairs. “Think we should tell them tomorrow is Valentine’s Day?” Draco asked. “Nah”, Pansy said.

Tragedy (Draco and Lux Drabble #29)

Lux and the Slytherin Circle returned to Hogwarts, after a trip to Hogsmeade. “Miss Smith”, Snape said, “Dumbledore would like to speak to you in his office”. Lux followed Snape. Dumbledore looked sad. “I’m sorry to inform you that your family has been killed in a car wreck”, he said. Lux sat there emotionless. “I don’t believe that. Same as I don’t believe my house fire was an accident”, Lux said. “We believe Voldemort may be after you”, Dumbledore said. “Is this supposed to alarm me?” Lux asked, “You’re forgetting who I hang out with. All of their parents are Death-eaters. If I was afraid for my life, I wouldn’t hang out with them. None of them would ever harm me”. “This isn’t you Alexz”, Dumbledore said. “How do you know who I am?!” Lux shrieked, “You know nothing about me!” “Miss Shire”, Snape said. Lux’s anger quickly died. “This isn’t a life for you”, Dumbledore said. “I choose this life”, Lux said softly. “It’s young Mr. Malfoy isn’t it?” Snape asked. Lux hung her head. “It seems that Miss Shire is choosing this life for love”, Snape said. “It’s the only way to keep Draco”, Lux said. “I understand Miss Smith”, Dumbledore said, “You may go”.

The plan (Draco and Lux Drabble #28)

“My lord, there is a family in Romania”, Rudolphus said, “There is a little girl. She is very young, 4. Her powers are already manifesting themselves”. “4 is too young”, Tom said. “She will be very powerful”, Rabastan said. “I cannot and will not, care for a 4 year old”, Tom said. “If I may suggest, what about removing the family from the picture permanently?” Lucius asked, “The family is very wealthy. Wealthier than all of us combined”. “Are they pure-bloods?” Tom asked. “Yes, but they do not wish to join you”, Bellatrix said. “Then they are blood traitors and must die”, Tom said, “Kill them, but spare the child”.

            In the dead of the night, 4 hooded figures arrived at the Shire’s house. They set the house on fire. Alexz awoke with a start and saw a silver cat. Something told her to follow it. She followed it, oblivious to the fact that the house was on fire. When she reached the lawn, the cat disappeared. Alexz turned around and saw the house engulfed in flames. She knew better than to run back in. The lawn was soon filled with people. “It’s the Dark Mark”, someone said. A man with scars down his face picked her up. “It’s alright, love”, he said. Alexz knew everything was about to change.

The girl’s meet (Draco and Lux Drabble #27)

“Hey Lux, Draco”, Blaise said, “This is Nix”. “Yes, the new girl from Potions”, Lux said. “It’s really nice to meet you”, Nix said. “Likewise”, Lux said. “Heard the Gryffindorks got a new girl. She’s with Finnegan”, Pansy said. “I don’t like the Gryffindors, but Seamus’ accent is to die for”, Daphne said. “What about Oliver Wood?” Astoria asked, “He’s a famous quidditch player”. “A quidditch player? Please, everyone knows that the Ministry is where the money is at”, Lux said. “The Ministry? You can make more money being a wizarding lawyer or a healer”, Pansy said. “Girls”, Draco said. “What do you think Draco?” Lux asked. “Yeah, what do you think Draco?” the other girls asked. “I have to say the Ministry”, Draco said. Lux smiled and kissed Draco on the cheek.

New family (Draco and Lux Drabble #26)

“This is the little girl I was talking about”, Dumbledore said, “Alexz Shire”. “Was she Alexandria and Richard’s daughter?” Skyler asked. “Yes, they died in a recent house fire”, Dumbledore said, “She hasn’t spoken since”. “We’ll treat her like our own”, Sebastian said. “I look forward to her attending Hogwarts”, Dumbledore said, leaving. “Alexz Shire-Smith”, Skyler said, “I like it”. “Lux”, Alexz said, “It’s Lux”. “Oh Lux”, Sebastian said. They took Lux to her new room. “We didn’t paint it, because we didn’t know your favorite color”, Skyler said. “Green”, Lux said. “Are you sure you wouldn’t like pink?” Skyler asked. “Green”, Lux said again.

            Lux sat down to eat dinner with her new family. The Smith’s soon discovered Lux was a very picky eater.

            Lux layed down to go to bed. Even her new family couldn’t keep the nightmares away.
