Ally trudged her way up the stairs towards the owlery. She was sending a note home to her Mother, she needed her to send on some muggle sleeping tablets. Recently Ally had been getting at most an hours sleep each night thanks to some terrifying nightmares. For some reason she was seeing her Father die in numerous different ways every night and it was beginning to scare her.

The note was firmly tied to her pet owl before she let it go out of the window. She rested her elbows on the windowsill and looked out, watching as her owl became a speck on the horizon. She never heard the door at the bottom of the staircase creak open, or the footsteps ascending the stairs. She never even noticed the ruffling of the straw on the floor behind her.

She was away in a world of her own when the figure approached behind her.

OOC: Open.

Lucy came up to the owlery to send a letter to her father. She remembered when she had to send weekly letters telling him all this preppy crap. However, thanks to Draco, that was no longer need. She was sending her father a letter saying she was sorry for the long time-no letter, but she was scared of talking to him since it had reminded her too much of Draco.

Once again, the girl had givin up on mascara cause it just left streaks down her face, so she didn't look as gothic as normal.

After setting her owl of, Lucy sighed. That was the first time she noticed Ally and wiped her tears quickley. "Hi." She said softly so her voice wouldn't break.

Ally jumped from her dream like state and whirled round, her wand in her hand ready to attack whoever was behind her. Her recent nightmares had traumatised her so much she was rather defensive when people crept up behind her.

"Oh. Sorry" she muttered as she lowered her wand to her side, she never actually let her grip loosen though, afraid of what might happen. She wasn't totally sure of this girl but she didn't give a damn what people thought. She was protecting herself whether they liked it or not. "Didn't mean to pull this out. You just gave me a bit of a shock"

"Do you really think I care? You don't know how many times I've had a wand raised at me..to hurt me.." She raised and eye brow before calming herself so no one had to get hurt.

"What's you're name?" She asked curiously. You could tell from the robes that the girl who stood before her was a Gryffindor, and she didn't know why she was wasting her time with someone like her.

"Ally Black" she said simply as she eyed the girl. There was something strange about the way the girl acted so nonchalant abou having a wand raised to her. As though it didn't bother her. That was a ascary thing for Ally.

"What's your name?" she asked as her grip tightened slightly around the handle of her wand.

"Lucy.." She paused, debating whether or not to use her married name or her maiden name. "Malfoy..." Lucy eyes the girls wand wondering what Ally would do to her, but still wouldn't get scared of it.

"You one of Lucius kids? Or one of Draco's?" Ally asked having a wide range of knowledge about both her immediate and extended family. Well at least the family up until her Fathers death. After that her Mother had broken contact with them and she never knew much else about them.

"Nope, and nope. Not blood related." She smirk. "I don't know if you would know my father, actually. Unless you know all Death Eaters very well by their names." She paused. "Would you reconize if I said; Lucy Knox?" She liked playing with people who didn't know she was married.

"no. I only know the Malfoys because unfortunately we share a gene pool. Are you adopted or something?" she asked having no idea that lucy was married. Afterall the girl looked younger than her and in Britain you couldn't marry someone until you were 16.

"Yes...and no..." She sighed. "It's a rather long story." She said, turning away.

"Your either adopted or your not" Ally muttered feeling a little frustrated. Her lack of sleep had left her with a short temper and she felt like she didn't have time for playing games with people. Her eyes flickered a violent colour of red for a second before returning to their ice blue state as her temper flared within.

"Yes and no. The papers were never signed, and that's not why I changed my name." She said. If Ally was going to be like that so she would and gripped her wand in her pocket.

"Will you stop playing bloody guessing games with me. I'm not in the mood. How the hell are you related to the scum of the earth and in turn me if your not their kid and your not adopted. Your what...13 so it certainly can't be because your married to him. Unless your Mum is. That'd be the only explanation"

"Do not call him 'the scum of the earth!" She said, pulling her wand slowly out of her pocket. "Actually, I am married to him. He arranged it, my dad signed papers allowing it..It's that simple."

"Ha! Your marriage is void. Unless you went to some hillbilly area of the states and even then you're not married here. You have to be 16 and then you can get married."

"Oh and I'll call him what the hell I want! If it wasn't for him and his scumbag of a Father I'd still have a Dad!" She whipped her wand from her side and pointed it directly at Lucy's heart. "You know nothing of your so called husband. How he was too cowardly to do anything that his precious dark lord set for him. how his precious family couldn't care about anyone but themselves. His Father was despised by old mouldy pants and so was Draco after he failed to do his duty for him"

The ends of Ally's hair was glowing red now as her enger boiled up within her.

"If you're under 16 and your parents...or parent...aprooves, you can! And we ARE married!" Somewhat happily, she added in her head.

"He would have died eventually! I know enough about my 'so called husband' to know he's saved my life more times then I can count!" She paused fighting back tears as she said what she said next. "And you're father would have died eventually. Ever heard of fate? Besides, I know how you feel. If it werne't for my dad I'd still have a mother and brother. You don't see me hating him!" Thankfully Ally didn't know her well enough to know she had hated him more then anything in the world.

Lucy still didn't care to the wand pointed at her heart, and kept her wand at her side. She wouldn't hurt anyone but herself, and knew that very well. Although people didn't mind hurting her, almost killing her even. "Go ahead. I don't care what spell you hit me with, I've withstanded it all."

"Not in Britain Honey! Believe me...I know my Mums a lawyer so get over it. Your marriage is nul and void here in this country. Maybe in some third world country your marriage will count but apart from that your outa luck. You've never been married according to british law and you never will be until your 16th birthday."

Ally took a deep breath "Yes my Father would have died but I'd have at least known him! Your so called husband and his family took that away from me and I'll make sure they pay for it one day. By the sounds of it Draco isn't good for you. He makes you think you need him to save you when I bet anything he put you in the situation in which you needed saved."

"You don't know anything about me so how could you know if he's the reason I need to be saved? Cause it's not. My father is. So you know what, if you want a father so badly, go ahead and take mine. I'd happily give him to you."

Her eyes stayed off the wand, but she was still aware it was pointed at her. "And if you really wanna get back at him, go ahead and kill me. That'd get him good." She said, swallowing her tears. "You have the perfect oppertunity right here, right now.

"You honestly think I'm going to kill you? You honestly think i'd make myself like the rest of my God-forsaken family. No, what i'll do will get him back in a way he'll never be able to forget. You should do yourself a facour though and get away from him. Nothing good can come from being involved with a Malfoy." Ally said as she lowered her wand and walked towards the owlery door. "It was nice meeting you. Too bad we couldn't speak civilly, maybe when you realise just how much Draco Malfoy and his family brainwash people then you'll realise exactly where you want to go in this world."

Lucy bit her lip until it started lightly bleeding and stood there, shaking in anger as she watched Ally leave. She really wanted to raise her wand and curse the girl for saying those things about Draco.

Too bad it was already too late to get uninvolved with him. She was already to attached, and she alreayd had two little malfoys.

Even after the owlery was deserted she still stook there fuming, not daring to move for the thought of what she'd do to herself or the first person to cross her path.
