We Didn't Have a Choice

36 - Girl Talk

More days had gone by. I hadn't heard from Draco once, but I had a feeling he was off screwing Astoria. I don't know why he wouldn't be. She actually has something to live for  and not to mention, she is stunning.

The weekly Death Eater meeting had just ended and I found myself hurrying out of the manor, not even waiting for my father, but I was stopped by Narcissa at the door.

"Can we talk, Blair?" she asked, making my stomach turn because I knew this was going to be about the fight.

"Yeah, of course," I responded, trying my best to not sound nervous.

"Great," she said, leading me into the study. She sat down on one of the couches and motioned for me to sit next to her. "So I assume you know what this is about?"

I nodded, keeping my head down because I knew I was going to cry and I didn't want her to see me cry.

"It's not my place to really step in, but I just want to tell you that there's more to the story, and if you hear him out, you'll probably feel a lot better," she said.

"I know...I realized that, but I reacted so harshly and I just know he hates me," I said as the tears I failed to keep back began to fall.

Narcissa passed me a handkerchief which I gladly took.

"Blair, I know love is a tough concept to accept, but you need to realize that Draco is in it for the long run. He truly does love you."

"But Blaise and Pansy-"

"Blaise and Pansy don't know Draco's thoughts or feelings," she said, cutting me off and making me shut up. The atmosphere in the room became a bit awkward and the silence was almost painful.

We both sat in silence for another moment before she spoke up. "I like you, Blair, I really do. You and Draco balance each other out and you both learned a lot from each other; you still do have a lot to learn, actually. What I'm saying is, don't give up on him just yet. All I'm asking is for you to hear his side of the story and then you can make all the judgements you want."

"But you don't understand, I said things that can't be taken back."

"Trust me, everyone has said something they wish they could take back. You were in the moment and Draco knows that. He came to me the morning after and talked to me about what happened; he really is sorry."

And I was too. I wanted him back more than anything; to have his arms around me and smell his rich cologne; to run my hands through his soft hair and to be able to wake up next to him again every morning because I truly miss Draco Lucius Malfoy.

"Do you really think he'd forgive me?"

"Of course, but are you ready to forgive him?"

"Yes. He didn't do anything..." I murmured. "Thank you, Narcissa. I really needed to hear that."

"Of course, Blair. Now hurry home. I'm sure Miss May misses you."

I thanked her once more and hugged her before apparating into the nursery back at my family's home. Cordi sat in the crib, awake and alert as can be.

"Hi, Cordi May," I said, picking her up and cuddling her. She cooed in excitement and held a handful of my hair in her tiny hand. "Want to help me write to Daddy?" I asked.

In response, she squealed a sound of what I think was delight so I took her to my room and placed her in the crib which sat beside my bed.

After my talk with Narcissa, I was a lot more confident in restoring my relationship with Draco so writing the letter was rather easy.

Draco,

I know you probably don't want to hear from me, but I just spoke with your mother. The morning after the fight, I realized that I made a huge mistake and I wasn't sure if I could come back from that, but then I spoke with your mother and she made me realize that what we have is stronger than any fight. So, I would say I'm sorry, but I'd prefer to say it in person. If you're willing to see me, please come to the estate this weekend. Cordelia and I really miss you and I don't want to leave things the way they are right now.

Another short chapter for you all and if you will, please take a moment to read these statements below:)

-For Helen-
I really wanted to write this chapter in honor of Helen McCroy. Helen was an amazing actresses and helped the Harry Potter movies come to life. These books and movies have played such a big part in so many lives, including my own. Without them, I probably would've never started writing, and writing brings me so much joy, and I hope my writing ultimately brings others joy, too. Without Helen, the Harry Potter series wouldn't be the same. She inspired so many people and was such an amazing woman. So in honor of Helen, we say thank you for all you've done and we raise our wands in your name. Rest in peace, and thank you for the impact you had on our lives.

-Help!!! Writers Block!!!-
