Mrs Malfoy

Chapter 35

Once again, I was stood outside the grand gates of Malfoy Manor.

I knocked on the door and waited impatiently for someone to answer. I took in the beautiful surroundings outside until I heard a lock shift from the other side. The door slowly opened and she stood before me.

Without thinking twice, I wrapped my arms around her neck and pulled her close. Her arms snaked around my waist and her hands rested on the small of my back.

"Back so soon?" she whispered. I giggled softly, holding her even tighter.

"I wish I could stay Cissy but I need to go back, this is just a quick visit" I sighed. She loosened her grip so that she could look at me properly. Her lips grew into the sweetest smile, her love-filled eyes looked deep into mine.

"A quick visit hm? We'll see about that princess" my breath hitched and I shifted uncomfortably on the step. "Come inside, then you can tell me why you're actually here darling" I nodded, entering the house. The familiar smell filled my nostrils.

"Is Bella here?" I asked quietly.

"Oh, so you're not actually here to see me?" she pouted like a child. I rolled my eyes then placed my hand on her cheek, kissing her lips softly.

"Of course I am here to see you too! I just need to speak with Bella quickly"

She nodded and held her hand out for me to take. I took it gracefully and she lead me down the hall to the library. I rubbed my thumb across her delicate knuckles, never wanting to let go.

"She is in here sweetheart, come and find me when you're done talking" she winked before walking away. I was stunned, to be honest.

I poked my head around the door and Bella was snoring softly, a book resting on her abdomen. I slowly and quietly walked over to her and picked up the book. As I went to reach it, I felt a hand grasp my wrist and pull me close.

"Don't touch my book missy" she chuckled. She let go of my wrist and sat up, I fell onto the couch next to her. This felt almost planned.

"Let me guess... you're here to tell me the cabinet is fixed" I nodded at her and her face lit up. She clapped her hands together and stood up. "Fantastic, I will alert the dark lord immediately and we shall arrive tomorrow"

"Tomorrow?!" I gasped, she turned on her heel and looked at the horror on my face.

"Yes... tomorrow. Why, is that an issue?"

"Uh, no. It's just, I don't know if Draco is ready yet Bella" she rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"He will never be ready Y/N. Which is why Snape made the unbreakable vow... remember?" she pointed to her temple and tapped it. I understood her point but now I had the worry of wondering whether Snape would pull through for him.

"I guess" she smiled and clapped me on the shoulder.

"Thank's for telling me, darling. I'll see you tomorrow?" but before I got the chance to say or do anything, she was gone in a cloud of black smoke. I just stood still, in disbelief. This was really happening now, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.

After a few moments of dwelling on things, I remembered what Narcissa said.

It took a couple of minutes but my feet took me to our room. I didn't even bother to knock.

I barely made it through the door when I felt someone cover my eyes with their hands. I gasped and my hands flung up to their wrists. "Don't you dare pull my hands down" she whispered in my ear before biting my earlobe.

Shivers tingled down my spine at the sound of her voice. I felt her walk me across the room before taking her soft hands away from my face.

I looked at our room. She had beautifully decorated it and candles were displayed at the foot of the bed reading 'I love you'

My heart melted, I padded over to the bed and saw loads of tiny photos. They were moving photos of the two of us. A beautiful one Bella took of us talking at the ball and another of us smiling at the picnic.

I turned around to face her with glassy eyes. "Oh no, please don't tell me you hate it" she brought her hand to her mouth in fear. I took her hand away from her face and kissed her softly

"No, I love it. It's perfect Narcissa. Thank you" I smiled.

"Only the best for the love of my life" she whispered, kissing me again. She ran her fingers through my locks while placing her other hand on my lower back, pulling me closer to her. Our chests were touching and the kiss grew hungrier and more meaningful.

She suddenly pulled away, "wait, did I do something wrong?" I whined. She shook her head and grabbed a box from under a pillow.

I looked at her in confusion, "Narcissa? What is that?" I asked pointing at the small box in her hands.

She said nothing to answer my question. I still had no clue what she was doing, until she got down on one knee.

"I've been thinking about asking you this question for a while" she began and my eyes widened. "You make me the happiest woman alive. You make my life worth living Y/N. And I love how close you are with my sister, nobody has ever been like that with her before. It means a lot that you are able to see through her past. And Draco, you are the most amazing friend that he could ever ask for. But you, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever laid my eyes on. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Therefore, I ask you Y/N Y/L/N. Will you marry me?"

"YES YES A MILLION TIMES YES" I screamed, flinging my arms around her and kissing her passionately. That question was unexpected but the best thing I've heard all day.

She slipped a beautiful ring onto my finger and kissed me once more, "I can't wait to officially call you mine"
