Narcissa carefully pulled a strand of blonde hair behind her ear, all the while gazing intently at her reflection in the mirror.

She gasped in surprise as strong arms enveloped her. His hot breath tickled her ear as he whispered softly, "my love, is it necessary to take so long with your hair?"

He paused and leaned in to capture her lips in his. "You look beautiful, no matter what you do."

"Mommy! Daddy!" A loud voice screeched, running into her room and breaking the romantic atmosphere like sunlight evaporating mist.

Narcissa smiled and grabbed the young toddler with ease. She could practically feel her husband pout as she slipped from his embrace to their son's.

"What is it, Draco?"

The toddler looked up at her and smiled a toothy grin. "Auntie Andy's owl came over to visit!"

Narcissa frowned and shot a worried glance at Lucius. He nodded swiftly and left their room.

Lucius came back a few moments later with a worried frown on his face. "Andromeda had to cancel — the whole family came down with dragon pox."

"Oh," Narcissa said softly. She stood up and began to paced back and forth, her eyebrows furrowed. "Who else could babysitter for us? Bella went to Asia with her husband for the month, so she's out of question. Aunt Walburga really isn't babysitting material. Regulus ate an expired Cauldron Cake and — Sirius!"

Narcissa saw Lucius' raised eyebrow and explained. "He made a promise to me that he'll look after Draco one of these days for us."

The three Malfoys arrived at the Black/Lupin household without any troubles. Lucius rung the doorbell and Narcissa bit back a smile as she saw Remus' choice of apron.

"Sorry to bother you," Narcissa said quickly. Beside her, Narcissa could feel Lucius deep rumbling laughter as he openly expressed how he felt about Remus' choice of clothing.

"Is everything alright?" Remus asked, stepping aside to allow them to enter the foyer.

"We really need your help," Narcissa told him, taking her son's hand and tugging him into the house. "Lucius and I are meant to be having a day to ourselves-"

"Planned months in advance," Lucius put in quickly.

"Andromeda was going to babysit for us but she's had to cancel. The whole family has come down with the dragon pox, you know."

Narcissa waited for Remus to nod before continuing. "We were hoping you and Sirius might be able to help."

Unsure of what Remus was thinking, Narcissa hastily added, "He did promise to look after Draco one of these days, and we'd hate to cancel our reservations."

"I suppose we-"

"Fantastic," Narcissa replied cheerfully. She knelt down to give Draco a farewell hug while Lucius shoved a small bag into Remus' arms.

The two disapparated away happily, glad that they could finally go on the date they planned for so long.

"This is wonderful," Narcissa said softly as she took a bite of her meal. She looked around, not at all surprised to see only the most elite of Purebloods dining beside her. It was only natural of Lucius to bring her to a Purebloods only restaurant.

Her husband nodded. "It is, even more so because I'm here with you."

Narcissa laughed. "You're such a flirt."

"Only with you, Narcissa. Only with you." Lucius reached out a hand and gently grasped hers. Narcissa could feel her cheeks flush crimson.

"Lucius!" Narcissa gasped. "There are other people here. People we know!"

A mischievous glimmer appeared in Lucius' eyes as he smirked lazily. "So what?"

"Lucius!"

They ate the rest of their meal with Lucius making suggestive comments and Narcissa blushing brighter than a Weasley's hair.

"We need to have dates like this more often," Narcissa whispered softly as the walked along the beach, the wind whipping at their robes.

"Yes, we do," Lucius replied absentmindedly, staring at the sunset.

"The sunset is beautiful, isn't it?"

Lucius nodded, before his lips curled into a smirk. "Not as beautiful as you, my love."

Narcissa's cheeks burned a bright red before she suddenly smiled. "That's ironic since Bella always used to call me a ceramic statue; cold and unfeeling."

"Maybe to her you are but to me you're a beautiful flower; young, optimistic and utterly beautiful."

Lucius leaned in and captured her lips softly. Narcissa couldn't help but melt into the kiss.

It was dusk by the time Lucius and Narcissa arrived to pick up their son. Remus opened the door, this time much more suitably dressed.

"I hope Draco wasn't any trouble," Narcissa said as they waited for the son to collect his things.

"Not at all. We had a fun day with him."

Draco ran to his parents with mud on his shoes and his cloak askew. Lucius suddenly wrinkled his nose. "What's that horrible smell?"

"It's Pumpkin!" the blond boy replied happily.

Narcissa raised an eyebrow in bemusement. "Pumpkin?" She whispered softly, more to herself than anybody.

Her cousin, Sirius stepped into the foyer, carrying his tiny bag in one hand and an orange kitten perched on his shoulder. Barking could be heard from the den and he half turned back to yell, "Jupiter, Neptune, quiet down. I'll be back in a minute."

Her cousin handed the bag over to Draco and knelt down to allow the boy to give him and the kitten hugs.

"I didn't know you had pets," Lucius said, covering his nose.

"The dogs are ours. The cat is Draco's, and he's welcome to visit her any time," Sirius told him with a grin, ruffling Draco's hair.

Her husband's lips twisted into a scowl. "If that thing tries to chase my peacock, I swear to Merlin..."
