Mrs Malfoy

Chapter 41

I slowly opened my eyes to discover I was in a foreign room. I looked around and recognised none of it but I felt refreshed.

I pulled myself together and scrambled out of bed pulling a jacket on. I wandered downstairs to be greeted by Hermione drinking a cup of tea while reading the daily prophet. 

"Goodmorning Mione" I smiled politely, taking a seat next to her. "How are you feeling today?" she put down the paper and took another sip of tea before sitting back.

"Like crap... but I'm glad you're here" she whispered, glancing over at her arm.

"It will heal Mione" she looked at me sadly and nodded, I took her hand away because her rubbing it would only make it worse.

"Do you know how I ended up in a bedroom? I don't remember going upstairs" I sighed

"Harry brought you upstairs- bridal style" I almost choked on oxygen.

"Oh-"

"Yeah, you fell asleep on his shoulder so he carried you to bed. It was quite cute really" I was so embarrassed, I can't believe I fell asleep on his shoulder!

"Mione, I hope you don't mind but I'm going to go back to Malfoy manor before the boys get up" her face fell, she seemed upset by the fact that I wanted to leave but she still agreed.

"We will probably still be here in a few days if you change your mind" she smiled, placing her hand on my arm.

"Thank you, Hermione, I appreciate it. However, I don't think I will need to come back" I smiled back, giving her a hug.

Once she released me I went upstairs to make myself look more presentable so that I was ready to leave.

***

History was repeating itself, I was at the gates to Malfoy manor once more.

The gates opened for me and I walked slowly up the long drive towards the house. As I walked I wondered what I was going to say to Narcissa when she opens the door.

'I've missed you' - no, that's going to make me look clingy, I was only gone just over twelve hours.

'Hey Cissy' - that's too basic.

I mean I could just hug her?

By the time I could think of something worthwhile, I was at the front doors. I stood for a second, staring at the doorknocker.

Yesterday was pretty rough and I feel awful for just leaving the way that I did. I don't want her to think that I blame her for Bellatrix's actions. I am of course angry with Bellatrix but, it's still Bella and I can't stop loving her. She is a huge part of my life.

But losing Narcissa or having her think I'm angry with her sounds impossible to live with.

My hand reached up to the door knocker and I shakily banged it against the wooden door. I waited about a minute until it opened. The smile on my face suddenly dropped when I saw who answered the door.

"You... again?!" the tall, blonde-haired man stood and scowled at me.

"Mr Malfoy I-" he was looking down on me like I was the scum of the earth.

"You have no business being here Y/N. Narcissa doesn't want you anymore, she never did. Can't you see? She needs a man in her life and as for Draco, I'm sure he would much rather live with his mother and father than his mother and friend"

I was stunned. My mind flooded with repressed memories. The obliviation had undone itself and now I remember entirely what had happened and why I hated this man.

I said nothing, just slowly backing away I turned to return back to the gates. "DON'T EVER CONE BACK" he shouted as my walk quickly turned into a run.

Tears streamed down my face, had Narcissa ever actually loved me? I couldn't bear the thought of me forcing her into something she never actually wanted.

I didn't know where I was going or how to feel, I just kept running and crying. I've never really experienced heartbreak before but, if this is how it feels then why is love a thing in the first place?
