A/N: This chapter is a tad shorter than the last one and less sad :) Enjoy!

Ginny woke up the next morning and woke up the others. They had to keep moving if they didn't want to be found. After a couple minutes, all four of them were down on the ground and ready to go. They had no possibility of apparating away since they didn't have their wands, and Draco, who although mastered wandless magic, was too weak to apparate himself and three other people. For a couple of hours, they just walked, hoping to run into some animals, from which they could feed from, or a house, where they could find shelter. They walked in silence, mourning the death of Pansy. It was harder for Seamus out of all of them because he had fallen in love with her and had some sort of relationship with her. Ginny didn't even want to imagine what must've went on in his head. They all gave him sympathetic looks, knowing he was going through hell.

It must've been around noon on the third day of walking when they saw a small little hut in the distance. They smiled at themselves and made their way there. Before knocking, Blaise looked around the house to make sure it was safe. Some old lady opened the door and welcomed them inside. They spent the day there, talking to the old lady who had offered to tend their wounds and injuries. They told her about what had happened to them, and the lady told them that four days prior had been the second anniversary of the end of the war, confirming to them that they had been held captive by those cruel people for two whole years. She offered them food, drinks, and a bed to sleep in, which made them more than happy. Her hospitality shocked Draco, as he was intrigued as to why an old lady would let some complete strangers into her home. Him being used to his rich manners and living in a manor so big they could get lost in, didn't quite grasp the concept of hospitality. He was courteous with guests, no doubt, but never in his life would he or his family let a stranger stay at the manor. Ginny found his shock quite hilarious and teased him about it.

For the next couple of days, they stayed with the old lady who had been extremely nice to them all along, until they regained their forces back. The time came where they decided it would be better if they left and went back to their own homes. So, on the fifth day of staying with the old woman, they thanked her for her kindness and her generosity, making sure she knew very well how grateful they were, and held hands as Draco apparated them away. When Ginny opened her eyes, she was standing in front of Malfoy Manor, the place where they had agreed to go to, since neither Ginny nor Blaise knew where their families were after the war. Seamus had cut all ties with his family before the war, so he wouldn't go back to them. They followed Draco who had started running towards the manor and stopped as he knocked on the big double doors. The door opened to reveal Draco's mother. Her features had aged since the end of the war, caused most likely by the loneliness of her home. Since Lucius was sentenced to life in Azkaban, and her son being dead, at least to her beliefs, Narcissa Malfoy was lonely and devastated. When she opened her door and saw her son, tears welled up in her eyes and in less than a second, she pulled him into a hug and started sobbing. Draco, surprised by all this affection from his mother didn't know how to react, but he hugged her back. Ginny, Seamus, and Blaise stood there quietly, letting the two of them have their long-awaited moment. Narcissa then backed away from her son and led them into the manor.

"Draco," she said pulling him a bit away from the others "why are you bringing a blood-traitor into our home?" she hissed at him. Draco rolled his eyes at his mother.

"Because, mother, Weasley was trapped with us in that prison, and although we're not necessarily friends, I wasn't going to leave her to wander around on the streets by herself, she has no place to go as she doesn't know where her family is," he told her.

After some discussing, Narcissa had agreed to let Blaise, Seamus and Ginny stay at the manor until they found their families. However, that was impossible for Blaise since the only family he had was his mother, who had been killed in the war two years before. So, their focus was on Ginny's family. Every day, the four of them would go into Diagon Alley, hoping either to see someone from her family or just ask around if anyone had seen them recently. One day, when they got back to the manor, Narcissa told them she had found out where her family was staying. Ginny, excited, was about to send her mother a letter, but Narcissa convinced her not to. Her family believed her dead, so receiving a letter from their dead daughter would shock them, and they wouldn't believe it. They would think someone was pulling a sick prank on them. Ginny reluctantly agreed and let Narcissa send out a dinner invitation to her family for the next day.

Molly was busy in the kitchen while Hermione, Ron, and Harry were in the living room, reading and playing a game of chess. The soon heard a knock in the window, and Hermione got up to let the owl in. She was looking at a majestic grey owl, that she didn't recognize. She took the letter from him and gave him some treats, sending it away. On the letter, she recognized the Malfoy seal, and with a very neat and nice handwriting "The Weasleys". She looked at it confused and went to the kitchen to show Molly.

"Mrs. Weasley? There's a letter for you" she said looking at her with a confused frown. Why would the Malfoys, send her a letter? Why would Narcissa Malfoy, the only Malfoy left, send the Weasleys a letter?

"Well then dear, open it up! Let's see what it says!" said Molly enthusiastically, unknowing from who the letter was. Hermione gave her one last look before opening the letter and reading it out loud.

"Dear Molly,

I hope this letter finds you well. I would like us to put our differences aside and meet up for dinner tomorrow evening. I have some extremely important business to discuss with you and your family, and I hope you can all make it tomorrow as this is very important, just like I said. Dinner will be at 6 tomorrow evening, at Malfoy Manor.

Looking forward to this meeting,

Narcissa Malfoy"

Molly, shocked by this invitation, looked at Hermione with her eyebrows raised. She wasn't sure if they should go to this dinner or not, but Narcissa did seem insistent on them going. Who knows what Narcissa was up to? Before the First Wizarding War, Molly and Narcissa were friends despite their 5 year age difference. Or at least, not enemies. They didn't hate each other, and they shared many memories. Once they both married, they didn't have as much time to see each other and they drifted away. The fact that their husbands didn't get along didn't help matters. So Narcissa reaching out to them was very unexpected.

"Hermione, it does seem very important to her, so I guess we'll go. She wouldn't reach out unless it was extremely important. Send a letter to Bill and Charlie, and tell them it's important. Charlie doesn't go back to Romania for another week, so make sure to send an owl to him and Zoe." Charlie had found himself a girlfriend, Zoe, who was very loved by Molly. Although they've only been together for about 6 months, Molly already loved her like a daughter. "Also, send one to the twins, to Bill, and to Fleur," she told her "And tomorrow, make sure you, Ron and Harry are on time," she said getting lost in her thoughts. "I'll go write Narcissa an answer and send it before it gets too late," said Molly walking out of the kitchen, leaving a shocked Hermione. She made her way back into the living room and told Harry and Ron about it.

"Well, I guess we don't have a choice but to have dinner with Narcissa Malfoy tomorrow," said Harry running a hand through his hair as he sighed.

A/N: Hello! This chapter as I said was a little bit shorter, but I'll try to make the future ones a bit longer! Have a nice day! :)
