Dramione- Back at Hogwarts (Hermione's 7th Year)

Chapter 7- Tea with the Malfoys (Part 2)

It was really hard for Draco to talk to his old school enemies as if nothing happened to them, especially during the Battle of Hogwarts a few months before.

Draco could still remember unwillingly, Hermione pleading to Harry and Ron to save him, and his friends, Crabbe and Goyle, when they were at the Room of Requirement where Goyle casted the Fiend Fyre which caused him his life.

He did not understand the actions of the Golden Trio at all, especially Hermione and Harry. He could see that Hermione was not only the brain of the group, but she was also their heart. She could easily ask Potter what she wants, and Potter seems to do anything for her even if it's against his will. The weasel on the otherhand was a different story. The weasel is very stubborn, but is still very loyal to his friends.

Their tea and cakes arrived shortly after their introductions. Harry and Hermione felt more comfortable towards the older woman now, seeing how genuine she seems to be about forgetting the past behind them.

"Harry," Narcissa started. "I know you were quite close to Andromeda's family. Would it be too much to ask if you could help me reunite with my sister?" She asked eagerly.

"Well, it's just Andromeda and Teddy now," Harry replied sadly.

"I am really sorry for her lost, I know it will be difficult for her to forgive me since my family fought for the dark side. But, I really want her back in my life. She's the only family I have now, except for my son, and of course my sister's grandson, Teddy." she replied sadly.

"When I reach twenty-one years old, I will take over Teddy's custody since I am his godfather. I think Andromeda would be happy to reunite with you, especially now that she's still mourning her husband and daughter." Harry told her.

Draco and Hermione were both listening quietly to this exchange. They busied themselves with their tea and cake, occasionally looking at Harry and Narcissa. They caught each other's eyes a few times too, Hermione noticed that Draco's eyes were somewhat softer now.

"Oh, please Harry. Help me with my sister. I know that you already helped me so much, but I really want her back in my life," Narcissa pleaded.

"Of course, I will try my best. Maybe you can owl her tomorrow and ask her if you may visit her. I will visit Teddy tonight with Hermione and Ron, I will tell her that we talked," Harry said to Narcissa.

"Thank you very much, Harry! You don't know how much this means to me." Narcissa cried happily. "I can't wait to hug her again. I would also love to see the little boy, he will be a fine young man someday," she added.

They all finished their tea and cakes while Narcissa and Harry still talk about Andromeda and Teddy, and how Harry could help the sisters reunite.

"I think we better get going now," Harry said while looking at his watch, it was already five in the afternoon. "Hermione and I will still fetch Ron at the Burrow before going to Andromeda's for dinner," Harry told Narcissa.

"Alright, Harry, Hermione," Narcissa replied. "Thank you for having tea with us, and for everything," she said gladly. "Maybe we can all have dinner too, whenever you're both available. You may also bring along your dates," she invited them.

"That will be nice, Narcissa," Harry replied. "Maybe we can have dinner before Hermione goes back to Hogwarts," he suggested.

"Yes, that would be good," Hermione agreed.

"How about you, Harry, would you not be going back to school with Hermione and Draco?" Narcissa asked.

"Well, Ron and I have already been offered jobs as Aurors, including Hermione but she refused. Ron and I will be starting our training on September," he told her.

"Well that's good for you and Mr. Weasley," she said. "I'm glad that at least one of you will be going back to Hogwarts with Draco. Hermione, if it's not too much to ask from you, may you please guide my son at school?" She asked turning to Hermione.
