Chapitre 11 - Family

We heard a knock on the door when we hit the last step.

My hand slipped out of Draco's tight grip. I lunged forward to open the big doors that lead to the entrance of the manor. At the door was a tall and slender woman in her mid-50' that exuded confidence and elegance. Her raven black hair was laced with platinum blond stripes. She was wearing an expensive-looking black coat, emerald green velvet ankle boots, a pair of classy black pants with a Slytherin green blouse tucked into them and silver jewelry. Narcissa Malfoy, now Black, since her dear husband was put in Azkaban after the war and died afterwards in the hell hole that is the wizarding prison. Narcissa re-took her maiden name. After the win of the light side, to build up her family honor, Narcissa donated to a lot of charities and foundations. She lived a quiet life in a luxurious cottage near Hogsmeade, after giving the manor to Draco. To put it simply, Narcissa Black was standing at the door..

"Hello Mother" said Draco, resulting in me getting out of my transe and coming back to reality to greet Draco's mother

"Hello Draco, Hermione" Narcissa said while nodding in greeting

" Hi Narcissa"

Working with Draco, I already had a chance to meet draco's mother, Surprisingly, she did not share her husband's views on blood purity. I was intimidated by her at first, but found out that she was extremely easy to talk to when the cold pureblood mask was out of the way, it was just a façade. With my growing friendship with Draco, I spent some time with Narcissa or Cissa as she liked to be called.

After letting Narcissa in the manor, we moved to the living room of the mansion to talk. We prepared some Jasmin tea and once we were settled and seated, we got on with the talking.

"So Draco asked me to come, apparently it was an emergency to Draco" She said while looking pointedly at Draco who sat further in the couch

"but I don't see what is the problem , you two look well enough in my opinion"She said sharply

"I would like to know what am I doing here"

"Draco, you didn't tell her." I said while slapping him lightly on the arm

"I guess I forgot or I just didn't want to tell her since it wasn't exactly my place to talk about it" Draco responded

"Children, that doesn't answer my question about what is wrong with you two" said Nacrissa while slightly scolding us

"First of all, mother, don't call us children. Second of all, nothing is wrong with me, I am perfectly fine, it's about hermit-

"Dear, are you pregnant with Mr.Weasley's baby" Narcissa said

"Oh dear gods no, I am certainly not pregnant with the child of this idiot" I said

"I thought you were with him, like a couple"

"Well yeah"

"Why did something happen that I don't know about" Narcissa asked

"More or less, I would think that the daily prophet covered the story by now, I've been hiding in the manor for several weeks by now" I responded

"Well what happened, can I ask what happened or is it out of boundaries, I don't want to make you uncomfortable, dear" Narcissa asked gently

"Mia, I think it's best for my mother to know the circumstances." Draco said while butting into the conversation

"You're right, Draco" I said while taking a deep breath, to prepare myself to talk about that fateful night

"It all started three weeks ago, Ron became more attentive with me, he cooked meals, helped around the house, he also showed a little more affection. I was, by this time, realizing that I loved him more as a brother than a lover." I said
