Summer Slytherin Surprise

[Pansy Parkinson]

*Steps out of the black Thestral carriage, taking careful measures not to scuff her newest French pumps. Straightens out her too-mini miniskirt and crisp white button-up. Snaps her head around to her father in the compartment, gesturing him to drive away. Looks up at the extravagant manor, eyes widening in its beauty*

Magnificent, as always.

*Strolls up the stairs. Checks reflection in the front windows, patting her hair and pinching her cheeks. Grabs door knocker with a perfectly manicured hand. Giggles excitedly to herself*

I can't wait to see the look on his face. It's been nearly two months.

[Grimley the House elf]

*Hears the door knocking and scurries as fast as he can to answer it. Master Lucius had not been pleased with him lately for missing the door*

*He reached it quickly and pulled it open enough to stick his face through and look up at the visitor*

Hello? Who is it?

[Pansy Parkinson]

*Looks down to meet the gaze of the house elf. Grows a little impatient at the question of her presence, but maintains a polite smile.*

Pansy Parkinson. Surely you remember me, Grimley. Family friend, schoolmate of Draco. Are the Malfoys home? They aren't expecting me, but I wanted it to be a bit of a surprise.

*shifts weight in her heels.*

Beauty is pain.

[Grimley the House elf]

*He squints through the gap and jumps at her sight*

Oh yes!

*He pulls the door open wide and bows low, gesturing inwards frantically*

Grimley is sorry Miss. So very sorry. He did not recognise you for a moment. Come in come in.

*He bows even lower*

Can Grimley do anything for Miss Paykinsy?

[Pansy Parkinson]

*She tilts her head and beams at his recognition.*

That's alright, Grimley. I'm sure the Malfoys have several visitors.

*She follows the elf inside the doors and smiles as she looks around. It never ceased to amaze her. She inhales deeply, smiling slightly as the scent lingers.*

Smells like Draco..

Well, I was hoping to catch Draco. I haven't seen him in quite some time, and I thought I would pay him a visit. Though I would certainly be honoured to say hello to his parents, if they're home.

[Grimley the House elf]

*Nods very quickly*

Yes yes, Masters are home.

*Waves into the house some more*

Miss can find Masters of course!

[Pansy Parkinson]

*Steps further inside, eyes wandering slowly over length of entrance foyer. She listens for movement elsewhere about the house.*

Any idea where they are?

*Bites lip. Shifts closer to wall, peering innocently around a corner*

[Grimley the House elf]

*Nods enthusiastically*

Yes Grimley knows. Yes! Young Master Draco is in his bedroom and Master Malfoy is taking a bath.

[Pansy Parkinson]

*snickers quietly*

Maybe I shall wait to visit Mr. Malfoy until later.

Perfect, thank you.

[Millicent Bulstrode]

*Wanders down the stairs from her room and spots Pansy standing in the doorway*

Salazar Slytherin! Pansy, is that you?

*Kicks the elf out of the way*

How have you been?

[Pansy Parkinson]

*Looks up at the cry of a familiar voice*

Millicent!

*Brilliant smile widens across face*

I was dropping in to see Draco. Hoping to surprise him, actually. What're you doing here?

[Millicent Bulstrode]

You certainly will surprise him. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees you.

*Smiles*

The Malfoys kindly let me stay here as Mother and Father are away on buisness.

*Sighs as she hasn't seen her parents in a long time*

Anyway, lets go into the Lounge and see who is about shall we?

[Pansy Parkinson]

*chuckles*

I'm rather excited to see his reaction as well.

*softens smile*

That's very gracious. The Malfoys have such a beautiful home.
Sure. Lead the way.

[Millicent Bulstrode]

*Heads towards the Lounge*
