Disclaimer: I don't own anything, duh.
A/N: Without the lovely Lia, this wouldn't have happened. She pushed me to do it and I thank her. This is for the food challenge on xoxLewrahxox's forum. Dinner time at the Malfoy manner isn't as festive as Narcissa would like. Enjoy. Also, as Lia and I discussed earlier, word count on here is EVIL! This is exactly 100 words.
Dinner For One
She sits; back straight, legs crossed, and arms placed gracefully on the table—which her elbows do not touch.
In front of her sits a grand meal, enough food to feed the world if she'd permit so.
She should be happy, she should be ecstatic. The war is over, her son is alive, and her husband will not be returning to Azkaban. Yet, she cannot smile.
Why? Because--
Across from her lies sits an empty chair, next to her the same, a table with no one but her.
Draco is at school.
Lucius is away.
Bella is dead.
She is alone.
