Caged ; Draco Malfoy

Chapter 6

"I understand that the situation you're in right now is not ideal, but you need to take care of your health"

Robyn wanted to throw something rude at her, such as "oh, so your dark lord can make a show of me" but she somehow found it behind Ms. Malfoys eyes that she truly wanted her to take care of herself because she cared.

She sighed and picked up the danish she placed down, her mouth watered at the smell of it. When she took a bite, she quickly bit back a moan of euphoria. They truly were delicious, her train of thought was interrupted by a soothing voice. 

"Good thing you didn't take the poisoned ones, they taste horrible"

She felt her eyes widen at the statement that rung around the room a few seconds ago, when she looked up she saw a smile creep on Ms. Malfoys face. She felt an elephant lift off her shoulders when she realized she's just messing around

"What-" her voice cracked, of course, it did. She cleared her throat and carried on. "What do you want from me"

"I just wanted company, the manor can get lonely sometimes with the dark and empty corridors. You've been locked up in your room for some time now. I assumed you also wanted real company instead of talking to four angry teenagers, although I do understand that talking to an old woman doesn't seem like ideal company. I can get Draco for you if you'd lik-"

Robyn quickly cut her sentence short with a quick shake of her head and a couple of no's, Ms. Malfoy chuckled light-heartedly and picked her cup of tea and saucer. So elegant. 

"Excuse my bluntness Ms. Malfoy but why am I here?"

"Like I said dear, some company can do you good. and please, call me Narcissa"

"No, no I mean why am I in Malfoy Manor"

Along sigh swept the Library, "I honestly know as much as you do dear" 

She's lying, Robyn can tell she's lying. There's more to it, they're all lying.

"I understand that you and Mr. Nott have built a close friendship since before the years of Hogwarts"

Robyn's eyes widened at her words, it's obvious that their friendship can easily get Theo labeled as a "Blood Traitor" and he could get disowned by his family. Robyn warned him about it, she even called their friendship off to protect him but he insisted and somehow convinced her into staying friends. Narcissa wanted Robyn to out Theo.

"Oh no dear, don't misunderstand my thoughts for the typical purebloods stereotypes. Your friendship with him is quite beautiful might I add, it's just strange to see such changes from a pureblood heir"

Could she trust her? Could she talk to her about it? 

"I've warned him, thousands of times. but he won't listen to me, I've told him that he's not safe in this relationship between him and me. He's always managed to convince me either wise, Theo is someone I truly care about, one of the handful of people that I care about.. but that all took a turn once I learned of his... acts"

"Miss Astor, I have no place nor business to talk to you about your relationships with people, but I've practically raised Theo. I've never seen him care for anyone more, I just can't believe I haven't noticed you both until a couple of days ago. He was forced into doing what he does now, he has no choice if he wants to save his family, he's just a boy"

Robyn was mad, really mad. How couldn't he have told her this, I suppose Robyn didn't give him a chance to talk since their confrontation but he had plenty of time before the Second of May. She was snapped out of her thoughts once again.
