-Lily's POV -

Narcissa appears from the fire and she immediately hugs me.

"Thank you for looking after my Dragon and keeping him safe." She thanks me.

"It's okay. I love him." I smile at her. She nods and turns to Dumbledore.

"Narcissa dear, you owe a lot more to this young lady. She persuaded her uncles to allow you a place in their home and managed to persuade me to give you protection from Voldemort. She truly is remarkable." He looks at me over his half moon spectacles. She crushes me in another hug.

"Thank you. Thank you so much." She whispers.

"It's okay. Now come on, you're coming to Uncle Moony's office." I grab her and Dray's hands and practically drag them to the office.

"Oh hello Cissa." Uncle Padfoot grins at her. They hug and I smile.

"Are we one big happy family now?" Dray asks me in a whisper. I turn to him and place my hands on his cheeks.

"We sure are Dragon. And you live with me now!" I giggle, placing a gentle kiss on his pale lips.

"Nope Nope Nope. That's enough of that." Uncle Padfoot warns, pushing us apart.

"Hey! So you and Uncle Moony can but we can't? That is so unfair. He's my boyfriend!" I protest.

"I don't care. You're my niece and I'm not having none of that hokey pokey business." He looks at me with a look that could kill.

"You're overprotective is what you are. Geez." I roll my eyes at him.

"Leave them be Sirius." Narcissa laughs at our childish behaviour.

"No! It's not happening." He whines.

"Don't pretend you didn't when you were their age. I swear James and Remus couldn't keep up. You were snogging someone new every day!" She argues back.

"Yeah but I was allowed to do that. I had nobody to stop me." He retorts.

"Well then in that case I'm allowed and you can't stop me." I sass him, ducking under his arm and attacking Dragon with kisses. I feel hands on either side of me and I am dragged off Dray. "Put me down you cretin!"

"Nope. You're in trouble." He puts me in their quarters and locks the door. Right. I'm not having that.

"LET ME OUT!!!!!" I scream as loud as I can.

"No. You disobeyed me. You will sit in there until I say so." He laughs. It's at this moment I remember I'm a witch. I pull my wand from the waistband of my jeans and unlock the door.

"I win. I always win." I smirk.

"Oh for Merlin's sake. I didn't think you had your wand." He huffs. I flip my plait at him and walk back to Dray.

"You're absolutely adorable." He whispers. I blush.

"Right. Dray and I are leaving. Socialise people." I announce before flouncing our of the door, dragging Dray with me.

"Where are we going?" He asks me.

"Hogsmeade." I mumble.

"How the hell do you think we are going to get out of the grounds?" He raises an eyebrow at me.

"Secret passages." I wink at him. I reach the statue of the one eyed witch, tap my wand and perform a non-verbal spell. I clamber down and I'm almost crushed by a falling Dray.

"How the shit did you do that? You didn't say anything..." He eyes me suspiciously.

"Let's just say I'm quite advanced." I smirk. We travel down the passage and emerge in the basement of Honeydukes.
