Meeting Draco's Aunt

high five

Later that night Narcissa insisted everyone gather around the table to play a game, much to Bellatrix's dislike.
Narcissa set up the game. The ravenette rolls her eyes, she hated playing games, especially this stupid quiz game. It would always involve an argument and it would always involve them bickering over who had Bellatrix on their team.

"Right before you start, I'm going to get a drink, tell me who won my brilliant self when I get back." She said before leaving the four sitting around the little table.

"Well since Bellatrix is my sister I think she should be on my team." Narcissa smiles.
"Ah but she's my aunt and we have an incredible bond, I personally think she should be on my team."
"Well she has a nickname for me so that obviously puts her on my team." Lucius adds before sipping his drink.
Hermione watches as the family began to bicker over who got the ravenette, and decided to clear her voice to get their attention.
"Hermione dear, how about you chose." Narcissa smiles.
"Yeah you chose Hermione, just remember who your best friend is." He smiles before leaning in.
"If me you and Bella go three and them pair can be a team."
"Draco, don't cloud Hermione's judgment." Narcissa scolds.

Hermione couldn't hide her chuckle as the family tried to win her over too.
"Right mean as it's teams we'll go in threes." The brunette smiles.
"But Hermione dear, there's five of us, one pair and one trio."
"What about Apollo?"
"Well he doesn't do much apart from trying to eat the cards." Draco shrugs.
"Well he counts because he's with Bellatrix...."

Meanwhile Bellatrix had already had three drinks in the kitchen during the time they were bickering over who had who on who's team, and poured her fourth figuring they had bound to be finished by now. The raven witch heads back to the family who sat silently around the table.
Odd....Bellatrix thought as she entered the room.
"Dare I ask?" She said walking across the room to the table.
"You're on Hermione and Apollo's team." Draco rolls his eyes.
"Oh hear that Apollo, they're actually including you this time." The ravenette smiles at the creature upon her shoulder who claps his little hands and chitters.
Bellatrix took a seat beside Hermione, frowning at all the eyes on her.
"What are you all gawking at?!" Bellatrix snaps.
"You just seem perfectly calm." The blonde woman stated suspiciously as she studied her sister.
"Thank you for that judgement Narcissa, now can we start the game?"
"Are you feeling well?" Narcissa asks leaning across the table to take her sister's temperature.
Bellatrix hisses and slaps the hand away.
"I'm perfectly fine, now are we playing or can I go to bed?"
Narcissa looks to her husband who shrugs.
"Hermione chose you." Draco glares at his friend, who smiles in return.
Bellatrix glances at the girl beside her,
"If you lose I will be forced to destroy you." Bella states before picking up the card.

"Hey who said you're going first?" Narcissa reaches for the card but she was too slow.
"Me, now behave and let me read the question." Bella holds the card and began to read the question out.

"Draco don't pout, just because we won doesn't mean you have to be a sore loser." Bella finishes the rest of her drink furrowing her brows at the overly happy brunette who for some reason held her hand up to the witch.
Draco sniggers. "She left you hanging."
"Left you hanging? What nonsense are you sprouting Draco?"
"Hermione went to high five you."
"High five me?" The ravenette looks to the brunette.
"Yeah, it's a way of congratulations because we won."
"So you just stick your arm in the air?"
"No I bring my hand to yours like this" she brought her hand up once more and without thinking reached for the woman's.
"And you bring yours up like so then we slap the palms together gently like this." She demonstrates offering a smile to the not so amused looking woman.
"You always seem to find the most peculiar people to be friends with." She looks to Draco who shrugs.

"Hmm, well it's about time I retire. Goodnight." The ravenette arose from the table, and made her leave. Apollo however sat on the table looking at Hermione.
"Hello there." She smiles as the creature chitters then holds its tiny hand up in the air like Hermione had previously.
Hermione glanced at Draco who looked at the raccoon then she gave the little feller a high five, he chitters happily saluting the girl before scurrying off after his companion.

Hermione looked up at Draco then began to chuckle at what had just happened.
"Definitely likes you." Draco joins in the little chuckle.
"Yes, and I don't know what little spell you've cast on my sister." Narcissa arches her brow.
