DARK'S AFFAIR | L.Malfoy

003

Grace sat in her chambers. She knew that things were hard. Especially now that she was back from the dead. She knew how hard it was.

Grace heard a knock at the door. She answered it and frowned as she saw Harry as he stood there. All that she could see was James. as she looked to him. Her brother that she missed so much. "Hi," she said.

"So you're my other aunt. Skye said that you have been through a lot. And that I shouldn't believe what people are saying about Sirius Black," he said.

Grace smiled. "why don't you come in?" She said as he nodded. Grace sighed. "I did pretend to be dead. I did it to stay safe. I'm sorry I was never there for you growing up. Sirius and Skye is a long story. She will always be there for him. Ariel is your cousin and your family. She has no idea about a lot of things. Don't take it out on her."

Harry nodded. "What was he like? My dad. Snape says some things."

Grace smiled.  "Ignore him. Your dad was one of the greatest people I knew. He loved you so much," she said as Harry looked to her and smiled.

Grace walked into the great hall. She saw Skye as she sat with Remus. She walked over and sat next to them. "So Harry visited me this morning. It was weird. He was like James. But he's so much like Lily," she said.

Skye smiled. "I miss them too. I know it's hard. I do. But it will be okay. I know not everyone has the same thought on Sirius. We all know that things are getting dark. There's kids to think about," she said as Grace looked to her sister and smiled.

She knew how she hadn't seen her sister in all of these years. And now she was a mum. It was a shock to see how much that she had changed.

"She's worried about Ariel. She's never told her who her father is. And now she's worried," Remus said.

Grace looked to her sister and smiled. "How long do you think that you can keep this hidden from her? I mean, I know you're trying to protect her from the rumours. But she will find out eventually," she said.

Skye sighed and looked to her daughter sitting with her friends. "As long as I can," she told her.

Grace stood walking through the dungeons. She looked to see Lucius Malfoy. She looked to him and grinned. "As a parent who doesn't work here, you seem to be spending a lot of time here," she said.

"Well my son got attacked by a hippogriff. So I thought I'd come and see how he is. And it's not to bad when I get to see the likes of you," Lucius told her.

Grace looked to him. She smirked. "You're a flirt. You know that?" she teased as she walked off as he looked after her and smirked.

He knew that he was going to get Grace Potter. No matter what it took.
