As It Was *Complete*

68. He Fucked Up....BIGTIME!

"Is this the room?" She asked the guard who was now standing a little to close to her. He nodded so she turned to Narcissa. "Go and spend time with your husband," she smiled. "I will be waiting in here in you need me." She opened the door and stepped in, now standing in front of the mirror. The guard was right. It was like a window as she could see the room perfectly.

Narcissa and Draco walked in with the guard who spent a few moments talking to the mother and son before leaving. As soon as he did, Narcissa rounded on Draco and began clearly shouting but Astra couldn't hear anything.

The door to her own room opened and in stepped the guard. "Is the room sound proof?" She asked. It was the only explanation she could think of.

"Yeah. If you want to hear you need to hit that green button on the side there," he said potinting to the little box on the wall which Astra pressed.

".....you were being very rude and to be frank a complete ass to her. What has come over you?" Narcissa snapped as Draco took a seat.

"I just don't want him all over her. I want to tell father that I found the girl I plan to spend my life with but what if he does not approve?" Draco said biting his lip.

"Why would be disapprove?"

"She is a PureBlood obviously but her parents aren't. She fought on the opposite side during the war. She is half-sister to Harry Potter. She worked alongside the trio to ensure the downfall of father's leader. She speaks her mind, when she wants without a care to how a PureBlood woman should act and she doesn't exactly dress well for her status. It's like she has never had lessons in female etiquette."

"Your father is not the one dating her. It sounds more like you have these issues," Narcissa pointed out.

"She is just....well not who we talked about me ending up with." Draco shrugged. "I love her in spite of all her flaws but what if father can't see past them?"

"Draco Malfoy, everything that you listened you believe to be a flaw in her character, I think actually make her very charming. She is the kindest and purest soul there ever was and you a extremely lucky to be matched with her. Merlin chose her for you for a reason -"

"Yeah to test my patience and to punish me for my past," he moaned. He turned to look in the mirror, sudden fear in his eyes. "She can't hear us right?"

The guard sighed. "You can reply by pressing the button there - the blue one."

Astra hesitated but pressed the button. "She can hear you." She said quietly.

Draco froze. He fucked up....BIGTIME!

"Astra, I -" he started but was cut off as the door which was situated at the other side to the one they came in through opened and a guard walked in with a chain lead in his hands. There was clanking steps before Lucius Malfoy stepped into the room.

He looked terrible. His face was completely sunken in on itself. There were very large dark circles under his eyes and his lips looked chapped and very sore. He was shivering but Astra wasn't sure if it was from the cold, pain or fear.

He sat down in the chair at the desk, as the guard strapped the chains to bars that were sticking out on top of the table. He took a few seconds before he looked up. He looked lost, his eyes glancing all around the room before settling on his wife.

"Nar....Narcissa?" He stuttered but smiled.

"Hello Lucius," she smiled moving her hand across the table and taking a hold of his. "It's so good to see you love."

"It's so good to see you. You look beautiful. I have missed that smile," he said as his lip trembled. He turned to Draco. "Son, you have no idea how good it is to see you."
