32. A Family Reunion 👨‍👩‍👦

(Liliana's Pov)
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"My mother called. My grandparents are coming and my mother wants me home." He said.

"I'm so sorry." I said.
"No I am. I know you've been wanting this for a while." He said.

"Draco your family is more important then us shagging. Please go home, be with your mother." I said.

"Come with me." He said.
"What?" I asked.

"I don't wanna leave you alone here. And I don't wanna be alone either." He said.

"Draco I don't know."
"Please Liliana. Please come home with me."

He was begging, desperate.

"Okay." I said.

Draco and I quickly packed our stuff, and left.

"So um, I don't know what we're gonna walk in to. My family's different then yours." He said.

"I don't wanna offend you. But Draco I'm scared." I said.

I know his father isn't a good man. Bellatrix is deranged, and now his grandparents who disowned two of their children are there.

"I understand. But I'm gonna protect you.
Nothings gonna happen to you, I promise."

I nodded.

"Ready?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said.

He grabbed my hand, and we apparated in front of the manor.

WOW, he lives here? His house was gigantic.
"Holy shit." I said.

He grabbed my hand, and we walked to the manor doors. Nerves filled me up.

I was entering his house. I was gonna meet lots of his family. Not that they would pay attention to me, but I was still gonna see them.

He opened the front door, and we walked in.
There was a huge spiral staircase, and the walls were dark.

There was a very dark interior to Draco's house.
"Mother?" Said Draco.

She came out of the corner, and her eyes widened.

"Draco you shouldn't of brought her." She said.
"Brought who?" A voice spoke.

A mans voice.

A man with long white hair walked over.
Draco's father. He stood next to his mother, and narrowed his eyes at me.

"Who are you?" He asked.
"This is my friend, Liliana." Said Draco.

"And why is she here?" Asked his father.
"We were at the beach together for my birthday, and I-"

Narcissa gasped, then bursted into tears.
She then ran over, and wrapped her arms around Draco.

"I'm so sorry I didn't wish you happy birthday.
I've just been so stressed, I forgot." She cried.

"It's okay mother, I get it." He said.
"I'm such a terrible mother." She sobbed.
"No you're not. It's not your fault." Said Draco.

Draco's father watched as they hugged.
His mother pulled away, and cupped his face.

"My beautiful boy. All grown up."
Draco smiled, and his father walked over.

"Happy birthday." He said.
His father didn't have much expression in his voice.

"Thanks." Said Draco.

"We'll celebrate I promise. Once this whole thing ends." Said Narcissa.

Draco nodded.
