Pride- A Drarry/Malec crossover

Chapter 12

It was later that night before Maryse had the chance to talk to Narcissa. She was trying desperately to accept her son for who he was, and thought that perhaps the blonde haired woman could help, so while the others were showing off to eachother she pulled her aside.

"Thank you very much for the help Maryse, I have no idea what we would have done if it wasn't for your hopitality." Narcissa started.

"Oh nonsense we're happy to help, it's what the Institute is here for... Erm, Narcissa, I don't mean to sound rude or invaisve but I was wondering if I could ask you something?" The reluctance of the question shocked Narcissa, for by what she had seen Maryse was a strong women, always sure of herself.

"I will gladly answer all I can." Came the reply.

"Right, well... This is going to soud daft but, how did you come about to accepting Draco's... preferances?"

"If you're on about his sexuality it was obvious from very early on so I guess it was just something I expected. I've never had a problem with accepting those who aren't straight, in my knowledge you can't help who you love and love is nothing to be ashamed of." Narcissa planned to end her speech there, but upon seeing the other woman's dejected face, continued.

"If it is any help I did have a harder time accepting Draco's choice in partner." She offered.

"What, Harry? How, he's so sweet and I've been told that he is one of the greatest wizards alive? Surely you would have been overjoyed?" Maryse asked suddenly.

"Yes you would think so but-" Narcissa trailed of and smirked.

"Would you believe me if I said Draco and Harry spent their first couple of school years as bitter rivals? Lucius was practically Voldemort's lapdog, and passed his beliefs onto Draco and myself. Even after breaking away from him I was still weary of Harry and others on the side of the light, due to being known as the ex-wife of a Death Eater. That is why it came as such a shock when Draco announced that he was dating Harry. I didn't want Draco to be hurt, we were in the middle of a war and he was dating the centre of it. However, after seeing how happy they made eachother, that Harry made him, I pushed all the prejudice away and tried to be happy for him. He's a big boy, I trust him to make his own choices and as long as they aren't going to harm him I will just try to be happy for him. If you try long enough, eventually you don't have to try at all... I hope that helps you, Alec is a great boy."

With that Narcissa strolled away, intent on having a good nights sleep. Maryse stood, contemplating what had been said.

"Well, I suppose I just carry on trying." She muttered, before heading off to bed herself.
