A door heading to the living room opened and shut. The sound of feet against the floor deafened the silence.
"Draco, it's a nice day outside. Why don't you go celebrate our achievements?" a voice behind the sofa said.
Draco, who was slouching on the sofa turned around unhappily. He scowled at the fact that they were going over this again. Every single day they'd gone over it. By now it was just becoming a pain. Draco sighed heavily before stating, "As glad as I am to have father back, I am not going to celebrate."
"What's wrong with you?" Narcissa demanded, "I am not going to have a son so intelligent he found a way to penetrate Hogwarts rigid defenses squander months of time living inside a house. You don't want to ride a broom or learn some fascinating spell or anything else for that matter."
"You know exactly what is wrong." Draco told his mother.
"Are you trying to test my patience, boy?" Narcissa screeched, "At the beginning of the year you were so damn arrogant about the fact that you were chosen for the job." Narcissa mimicked Draco's voice unkindly.
"You served him well, the deeds are done." Bellatrix bellowed gleefully, entering the room with a crack, "Hello, Cissy. I came to for help with a court trial. The Dark Lord thinks it best I show up to make the Ministry feel safer with there pitiful attempts to suppress us."
"What happened, Bella?" Narcissa asked slightly miffed.
"I accidentally got spotted where I'm hiding out. Though I'd ask someone to help me prepare I'll probably need a good case to have myself declared innocent of being in the conspiracy of breaking out of Azkaban which caused a guard to be blown to pieces. It's the usual stuff. Supposedly, if I am able to show I didn't kill the guard, I am to be set free."
"That's splendid; you can have Draco an assistant then. I need him to get out of the house more often." Narcissa declared.
"Thank you, now Draco, you can come by anytime for the next three days. I'm going to try finding someone to represent me." Bellatrix said before waving goodbye as she apparated out of there.
"Now why don't you go over?" Narcissa asked Draco.
"I'll do it tomorrow." Draco replied lazily.
"Why not go outside in the meantime?"
"It's too hot outside." Draco complained.
"Nonsense, you're a wizard, pure-blooded at that, and you're telling me that a bit of heat is bothering you?" Narcissa answered.
"It's almost as if I'm dying inside…" Draco muttered silently very sad.
"Excuse me?" Narcissa inquired.
"Because of the heat, it's unbearable." Draco hastily added.
"Well go find a spell to fix that, and start doing something or I'm going to turn you into a sofa that match the one your sitting on!" she replied before slamming the door she'd entered through ungracefully.
Draco huffed at such treatment, and gloomily got up before Apparating away.
