What Is This "Love" You're Talking About (Love Doesn't Lie Sequel)

Chapter 31: Do you like your tea with Honey?

Chapter 31: Do you like your tea with Honey?

Narcissa aimlessly walked around the corridors of the castle. She was trying to avoid Elizabeth, who'd only want to push her towards the Quidditch try-outs and she wasn't even sure whether she'd want to participate in the house team. Obviously she'd be thrilled to fly for her house and hopefully win matches, but she wasn't sure whether she'd want to face James if she'd get a spot. She'd have to admit that her capabilities considering Quidditch weren't exactly as she had showed him during the time he set aside to help her out with it and she didn't want to disappoint him.
'Good afternoon Miss Malfoy.'
Narcissa turned around, only to see the Headmistress just walking into the corridor.
'Good afternoon professor.' Narcissa smiled.
'How has your day been?' McGonagall asked.
'It's been good, what about yours professor?'
McGonagall gave her a small smile. 'It's been quite alright. Are you trying out for the Quidditch team later this afternoon? I hear they're looking for some great new teammembers for the Ravenclaw team.'
Narcissa raised her eyebrows, before she quickly regained her composer. 'Uhm, I'm not sure yet to be completely honest.' Narcissa said in all honesty.
'I heard you're rather good at the game.'
'Well, I can fly a broom and I've played Quidditch often with my dad and the Weasleys, but I've never really played an official Quidditch game.' Narcissa shrugged.
'What's keeping you from trying out Miss Malfoy?' McGonagall asked.
'I just don't want to disappoint anyone.'
'You won't and if you do decide to try out, which I hope you will because such an activity is good for you, you'll have to do it for yourself.' McGonagall said with a small smile.
'Thank you professor.' Narcissa said.
'No problem at all, have a good day Miss Malfoy.'
'You too professor.' Narcissa smiled as McGonagall walked up the stairs.
Narcissa walked on through the coridors until, yet again she heard her name being called behind her. 'Oh Narcissaaaaa.'
Narcissa turned around to see the three Weasley girls walking up to her.
'Hey, what are you up to?' Narcissa asked.
'We are on our way to help Roxanne pick the perfect outfit for her date with Matthew.' Holly said, nudging Roxanne in the side.
'They think they're going to help me, I've already picked out an outfit.' Roxanne whispered.
'What are you doing all by yourself?' Hope asked.
'Oh, I don't know.' Narcissa shrugged.
'Don't worry Narcissa, we'll come and cheer you on during the try outs.' Holly grinned.
'Excuse me?'
'The Quidditch try outs, this afternoon. We'll be there.' Hope smiled.
'I'm not even sure if I want to try out.' Narcissa said.
'You will, you can always try and if they don't take you, they are very stupid, but then it wasn't meant to be.' Roxanne shrugged.
'Like Matthew and you are meant to be together.' Hope laughed.
'Oh shut up you.' Roxanne chuckled, shoving her cousin between the ribs. 'Oh Narcissa, we've got to tell you something.'
'But it's top secret, so you can't tell anyone.' Holly said, looking around them.
'Okay.... If it's illegal I don't want to know.' Narcissa said solemnly.
The three girls laughed and shook their heads. 'No, we figured.' Holly started.
'Because you helped with the Matthew situation.' Hope winked.
'That we'd give you an important piece of information.' Roxanne finished.
'And what might this information be?' Narcissa asked.
Holly and Hope shared a look as Roxanne stepped closer.
'Where you can find the kitchen and how to get in.' Roxanne grinned.

Narcissa had done as Roxanne had instructed her to do. She walked down the staircase leading to the Hufflepuff Basement. The kitchen should be located directly under the Great Hall, at least that's what they told her. In the corridor outside the kitchen there would be a painting of a bowl of fruit. Narcissa stopped in front of it when she noticed it hanging on the wall. She reached forward and tickled the pear in the bowl. Narcissa gasped as the pear started to squirm and laugh but as you stepped back it transformed into a green doorknob. Narcissa carefully turned the doorknob and walked inside, only to see many House elves working on food for dinner that evening. The kitchen was gigantic. It had a high ceiling and five table identical to the ones in the Great Hall above them. The tables are even in the same position. There are large quantities of pots and pans heaped around the stone walls and a large fireplace is at the other end of the hall from the door. Narcissa slowly walked in, taking in her new surroundings, only to stop mid-step when one of the House elves appears in front of her.
'Hello, can Honey help Miss with something?' the House elf asked.
Narcissa smiled down at the pointed eared creature in front of her.
'Hi, I was wondering if you have tea and maybe chocolate cake?' Narcissa asked.
'Of course Honey has tea and chocolate cake for Miss!' the House elf who apparently was named Honey said.
'That's great.' Narcissa smiled. 'I'm Narcissa Malfoy by the way.' she said holding out her hand.

Honey made a small bow. 'Honey's name is Honey. It's nice to meet you Miss Malfoy.' Honey smiled.
'It's nice meeting you too Honey.' Narcissa said, shoving her hand in her cloak pocket.
'Miss Malfoy can sit down and Honey will bring the tea and chocolate cake.' Honey said before hurrying off.
Narcissa smiled as she sat down at one of the table and within a matter of a few seconds Honey was hurrying back with a plate with a huge piece of chocolate cake and a mug of steaming tea. 'Wow, thank you honey.' Narcissa grinned.
'Can Honey ask Miss Malfoy a question?' Honey asked.
'Of course, why don't you join me?' Narcissa smiled, picking up the fork.
Honey nodded and sat down opposite Narcissa. 'Miss Malfoy's surname is Malfoy, is Miss Malfoy related to Mister Malfoy?' Honey asked.
Narcissa silently chuckled. 'Do you mean Draco Malfoy?'
'Yes, Honey meant Draco Malfoy.'
'He's my dad. Hermione Malfoy, well Granger in her Hogwarts time, is my mother.' Narcissa told her.
Honey's eyes widened as she stared at Narcissa. 'Honey knew Miss Hermione Granger! Miss Granger was Honey's friend.'
'You knew my mum when she was here as a student?'
'Yes, Honey met Miss Granger in Miss Granger's last year. Miss Granger was very nice to Honey.'
'Now I remember! She told me about you!'
'Miss Granger talked about Honey?' Honey smiled.
'Yes, she was very fond of you.' Narcissa nodded.
'That gives Honey so much pleasure.' Honey smiled broadly.
'Ahw, I'll write to her to tell we've met.' Narcissa smiled.
'Really?' Honey asked.
'Of course! She'd love to know.'

'There you are! I've been looking all over foryou!' Elizabeth exclaimed when Narcissa walked into the Great Hall. 'I've decided I'll go to the try outs.' Narcissa said, sitting down next toElizabeth.'Really?' Isobelle asked.Narcissa nodded.'What changed your mind? It can't have been me because you've been away all day!'Elizabeth said, shaking Narcisa's arm in frustration before chuckling.'Honey.''So you ate honey and all of a sudden you realised Elizabeth is such a greatperson with such great ideas and that it might be good to listen to her foronce?' Elizabeth asked.Narcissa laughed and shook her head. 'No, Honey the house elf.' Narcissaexplained.'What?' Isobelle asked.'I met one of the house elves today and she was so nice, we talked for a whileand she convinced me to go and try out.' Narcissa shrugged.'I like that house elf.' Elizabeth cheered as she stood up. 'Come on, the tryouts start in fifteen minutes!' Elizabeth said, pulling on Narcissa's arm.
