Chapter 3. The disgrace of Mrs Malfoy

When they finished the talk, they both went to dress up to.go to a restaurant for dinner.

Narcissa came downstairs with a dark green gown, with a heart shaped neckline, making her figure even more beautiful.

Lucius saw her coming and smiled with some desire on his grey eyes. Soon, he held her hand.

-You are beautiful, darling.

-Thank you... You are quite elegant too.- she replied with a smile.

-Did you tell on Draco?

-Yes, I did... look, here he is.

The witch turned around.

-I agree with father-in-law added the boy - you look amazing.

-Draco~ Are you sure you'll be OK?

He tried to smile,.pretending he didn't know what he heard his parents talking about.

-If you need.something Kreacher will do,.alright?-.she smiled caring.

-Don't worry mum. I'll be alright. Just enjoy you two. 

Then, the couple said "Goodbye" and went on dinner; first, Narcissa took her husband's arm and apparated in front of a apparently luxurious restaurant.

-" The Golden Witch?" - Cissy asked. - I've never been here.

-Me neither, but a friend of mine has. -The man replied gently.

-I hope is something decent...

He chuckled and nodded.

-I have no doubt it is.

As they entered,.The waiter.took them to a table, and many glares were starring at them, specially at Narcissa.

-The.dinner was great, Lucius. And the restaurant is just perfect.

-I knew you will like it- Oh, can you excuse me for moment? I'm going to the restrooms, it won't take too much.

-Of course~.

While she was waiting , she finally noticed about all the glares in her; she kinda was stressing and she decided.To.read something to relax.

-Waiter! Could you bring me a copy of The Daily Prophet?

-Of course, Ma'am. Oh... And I'm very sorry Mrs Malfoy...

-What?... Why would a stranger be sorry with me?

-The news.... er... talk about you Ma'am...- the waiter gave her.one copy with her.wand, making the newspaper falling lightly in the table.

Instantly she took the newspaper and read it :

"Narcissa Malfoy's biggest secret.
.... The abusers were.muggles... Fudge speaks: "I can't.do anything if they don't stand up for themselves, I urge them to tell the Ministry directly, by all the sameness"

Now, Narcissa was angry and she could only whisper one name,a mame with she knew perfectly that could  be the only guilty to publicate what was hardly impossible to know:

-Skeeter.....

Moments later,when her husband arrived, she begged him to.go.home quickly, after telling him all the trouble,.both of them will solve it and they will.win the war Skeeter started just for audience and money.

They had a master plan, and all.could be solved sooner than they could wonder.

And they guessed they needed a sleep, but is that really what they two need now?
