Forbidden touch

Eye Contact

She made her way to each one of us to embrace. When she got to me, our eyes met and suddenly, my heartbeat quickened and I could no longer think straight.

She looked me up and down. She took her time to study me and with every minute she took to study me, taking me all in, I suddenly felt very vulnerable. Like I was naked in front of everybody. When she was done studying me, her honey brown eyes met mine yet again and I suddenly felt myself get lost in them.

"You must be Draco's girlfriend Knightly. I've heard so much about you." She grinned, waiting for a response.

"Um..." My words were suddenly jumbled together and I could not get a word out. "Y-yes. Hi, it's very nice to meet you." I smile back and suddenly feel embarrassed.

"Well, let me show you to your rooms." Narcissa led us up the stairs, I noticed the beautiful and intricate carvings on the railing as we walked up to the second floor. "So, the girls rooms will be to the left and Blaise, Draco can show you your room as I show the girls theirs." She gave Draco a look which told him to go show Blaise his room which he did.

"We already prepared a room for you girls. There is a bathroom in each of your rooms as well.

She led us down a long, dark hallway overlooking the entryway.

"Pansy, here is your room. It's the same as it was last year, I hope you still enjoy it. If you need anything, you know we are here." Narcissa smiled as she watched Pansy enter her room in which I only saw a glimpse of it, but I could tell it was beautiful.

It was now only Narcissa and I, we walked further down the dark hallway in silence. We then approached the very last door and I suddenly felt very anxious and aware of my surroundings and how alone I was.

"I hope you enjoy this room, it's my favorite in the entire house. I'm sorry it's so far from Draco's room though." She apologized

"Oh, no. It's okay! I know I will enjoy it. Thank you so much for letting me in your home and letting me stay with you Mrs. Malfoy." I smile

"Oh please, just call me Narcissa. Mrs. Malfoy makes me sound very old." Her red lips parted as she giggled. "And there is no need to thank me, love. Make yourself at home." She placed her hand gently on my shoulder which sent shivers down my spine, but not the kind of shivers Lucius gives me. As she walked away, I watched her, studied her just as she studied me.

I turn around and open my door to my new room. I looked to see a queen sized bed up against a large window that overlooked the garden. The wall on the right side of the bed was made into a large bookshelf stacked with books.

I walked over, running my hand over the spines of the books. No wonder why this was Narcissa's favorite room. It was beautiful.
