The Black Family Tree

6th Year, November 16th

"Aurora?" she gasped, eyes roaming at the girl beside him.

At his side Aurie, nodded slightly in Narcissa's direction and smiled coldly before responding.

"It's lovely to meet you, Mother"

***

Draco's jaw just about hit the floor at Aurie's words.

"I'm sorry what the fuck?" he yelled into the room ,no texactly direction at either of them, just the universe in general. Aurie was still beside him, but now her eyes were fixed on him.

He watched her mouth "i'm sorry" in his direction before he looked back to his mother.

"You're lying. I've seen those family trees -"

"With Miss Granger, I'm aware of Draco. I was very careful when removing her from the records, for both of your safety's"

"Safety? Mother what the hell could a secret sibling be dangerous for? What the hell is going on?" he wasn't yelling anymore, but he was still loud, head filled with questions and rage.

Blindsided by lies, he was too confused to even panic. He was simply horrified at his Mother's revelation.. He turned to Aurie - "How long have you known?"

She took a step back and closed her eyes, Draco surged forward grabbing at her wrists again.

"Draco no, release her!" his mother came to focus as she placed a hand on his shoulder. The same spot that Hermione had in her attempt to get him to release Aurie a short while ago.

"Stop"

The voice in his head shocked him off her, releasing her wristed harshly as she stumbled backwards.

It was her voice.

His mother wasn't lying.

Aurie took a very deep breath before opening her eyes again, the flash of gold that he saw returned before it vanished under her eyelashes.

Strange: he thought, as he shrugged off his mother's gentle touch between his shoulder blades.

"Why don't we go to the drawing room. I'll call for Severus and say you've made your way here" for the first time since he had arrived his mother was only looking at him - he had the apology written on her face and begrudgingly he agreed.

"Let's go dears" Narcissus spoke tenderly as she gestured for the two of them to follow her

Draco glared at Aurie, then he felt the familiar pain in his skull before she spoke to him .

"I wanted to tell you" 

It was private to speak to him that way, where Narcissa wouldn't know. But Draco's gasp at the sudden intrusion of pain caught her attention and revealed what she was doing.

"Aurora please stop speaking to my son like that - you know it makes it hard to control" His mother didn't look back as she spoke and walked through the halls of the Manor; the pair trickling behind her.

"I'm in control well enough," Aurie snapped back at her.

Draco had only ever heard a few people dare snap at his mother like that, he presumed that Aurie was not aware of the power Nracissa held in her own home, even while it was occupied by high ranking Death Eater Generals: with Luscious Absent, and Draco not of age, she was technically the Master of the estate.
