Raising Narcissa Lily Malfoy

71

Harry then stepped back and stood at the open door, for a long long time. He felt the hand on his shoulder. "Something wrong?" Jack said, and Harry shrugged his shoulders. "I...don't think I can go in there...Silly I know." Jack shook his head. "Not at all. Go home, Harry. We'll get you set up in another office." Harry opened his mouth to say something, but really didn't want to disagree. For once, he wasn't in any hurry to get back to work. "Okay." Jack raised an eyebrow. Harry never gave in so easily. "Let me get you a ride home?" Harry shook his head. "No...I think I'll just go to the coffee shop..." Jack gave a light nod. "Harry talk to somebody. You aren't yourself." Harry put his hand in his pocket and raised an eyebrow, pulling out the bottle of pills. Jack seen the confused on his face and let out a sigh of relief. "You don't remember." Harry looked down at the bottle. "How long as it been since the... Accident?" Jack handed him a bottle water. "A couple weeks, I'm guessing that's how long you have been off your meds?" Harry frowned, but nodded. "I...Forgot I taking them..." He slowly popped a pill in the mouth and took it. "Keep in company the next couple of days, you'll feel better soon." Harry nodded and slowly walked away.

"Harry!" Little Hope waved and hurried to the open door that Harry just walked in. "Hi, Hope! Is sister napping still?" She nodded and Harry picked her up. "Not that it isn't wonderful to see you, what are you doing here?" Narcissa said, but seen the look, the look Harry was confused and lost. Harry pulled out the bottle of pills. "Oh, Harry! It must have slipped my mind. You hardly talked back it." Harry nodded. That sounded a lot like what Harry would have done. "Need some help?" He asked, putting Hope back on her feet and Narcissa give a smile.
The coffee shop got a little busy coke lunch, and Harry hurried around. He wasn't at all used to taking orders. He wasn't a waiter, today however, he was. Harry wasn't sure if he liked it or not. It was a change, that was for sure. A change he thought about...Maybe a day or two or maybe he should wait until his medicine kicked in before making rash decisions.

"Daddy!" Sarah lend over the counter, her feet leaving the ground. Lucius looked up, from were he sat. Behind the counter, on the stool. He had been trying to read Harry's sloppy handwriting and didn't like being looked at by the customers. He smiled. "Hello, sweetheart! Did you finish all your packing?" She nodded, and Lucius seen George lend over, a hand on her shoulder to keep her form flipping over. "I hope you don't mind, I went ahead and sent it all over?" Lucius then got to his feet and eased Sarah back off the counter. "Not at all. Harry talked to you yet?" George nodded. "It still confused me, but that's okay. Kenny is starting to get used to little man, and maybe the idea." Lucius raised an eyebrow.  "Cookie, daddy?" Lucius just smiled and give her a nod.
She pulled George around the counter and into the kitchen behind a sit of small double doors. "Mommy! Daddy said I can get a cookie!" Narcissa turned and give her a smile, pointing to the ones that were cool enough to eat. She hurried off, and George got a soft smile. "Sarah said your staying too?" He nodded. "Unless it's going to be a problem?" She shook her head. "Of course not, dear! I look very much forward to it. When she gets excited, she can be hurt to understand. Her thoughts run faster then her mouth sometimes." He smiled. "I have noticed, but I don't mind...but the whole, mom and dad thing...is a bit usual. Doesn't she have parents?" Narcissa let out a sigh. "My understanding is her mum died real young. Her father wasn't good to her, or she wouldn't have had a baby at fourteen." He went quiet, for a moment. "She doesn't understand things she should, but I'm not really worried. Not like I'm in this big hurry to rush into a big relationship anyway." Narcissa nodded. "She'll learn, but it takes time and patience. She just...got real close to Lucius, I'm not sure why. Just one day it happened and we really didn't mind. It helped and made it easier to get her onto her medicine." He nodded.

Harry felt the kiss on his cheek that evening, when Narcissa went ahead and sent him home. She and Lucius would stay behind and finish cleaning the store. Harry smiled lightly. "Hey." Draco frowned. "I should have made sure you knew about your pills." Harry shrugged his shoulders. "No, it's okay. I'm just a little odd, nothing to bad. Just be sure I remember to take them again. I'll be fine." Draco nodded, walking Harry into the kitchen. Harry smiled lightly, easing to sit up on the counter. Draco started dinner. "Narcissa's second competition is coming up...On your birthday." Harry smiled. "I think it makes for a great day! It makes her so happy to complete...Even if I dislike the girls." Draco turned to face Harry. "Do you remember what happened during her last meet?" Harry shrugged his shoulders, and thought for a moment. "Something happened to Izzy, but that's all I can recall." Draco walked over, and gave Harry a kiss. "Izzy is fine. I doubt anything like that will happen again. I really do. I would be really surprised. I'm assuming are going to be a pain in the butt about telling me what you want for your birthday, right?" Harry give Draco a smirk. "I have everything I want, Draco." Draco just gave Harry another kiss. "Foolishness." Draco replied.
