10

Several weeks had passed since the unfortunate moment at the office with Tabitha screaming to everybody. Narcissa kept herself occupied helping Andromeda with her association and felt way better now. Draco was happy to see his mother around those little kids and used to think that she would be an amazing grandmother to his future kids. Lucius bought a flat and he was living alone and becoming even more bitter and depressed. He needed his family back. He wanted them back. He even started his change.

A few weeks before, Hermione and Draco had their engagement dinner with their parents. Lucius being all gentlemen, made his best effort to have a good behavior with Hermione's parents. He did even like them. He needed to show Narcissa he could change and be a better person for them, his family. Narcissa did see that but still refused to be left alone with him.

Hermione and Draco were designing their flat. They wanted to have everything ready and perfect when their wedding day arrived. Draco sat down on the couch and Hermione landed next to him.

"You know, my uncle David will come to visit in a couple of days" said Hermione while trying to cuddle Draco.

"The one who lost his wife?"

"Exactly. You know, now that he's retired and, well, my aunt passed, he's feeling lonely. Dad invited him to move near home so he wouldn't feel so bad."

"And what did he say?"

"Well, he's coming for a visit and then will check on a flat. Maybe, I don't know, maybe we could organize a dinner or something. We can invite your parents, and your aunt Andromeda."

"Well, yes, it is a good idea. Maybe we can get Andy and Uncle David together."

She smiled playfully and kissed him. She loved when he tried to be different about his thoughts about muggles.

Draco went to visit his mother and aunt at the association. Andromeda was trying to do some paper work while little Teddy wanted to do mischief. As soon as Draco got in the room, little Teddy forgot everything and went running to receive him.

"Aco! Come play" said while grabbing his hand. Draco followed him but went directly to the desk his aunt was working to greet her.

"You my savior, Draco. He doesn't let me finish my work!" said while hugging him. Draco only smiled. "Your mom is… somewhere inside those rooms, I don't know."

"Don't worry, Andy. We will find her and will come back here, so we can talk a little."

Andromeda smiled while Draco took Teddy and walked away. They opened a few doors before they could find Narcissa. And there she was doing a little girl's hair. Draco couldn't help but to think how difficult was for his mother not to have a daughter with all the love she had to give. He still remembered how broken she was when they lost his baby brother years ago. Then, suddenly with a little scream coming from little Teddy, Narcissa and the little girl looked back at them.

"Hello Draco, nice to see you here with this little bundle of mischief" said while coming to hug him and hold Teddy. "Look, son. This beautiful young lady is Miss Hannah, she lives here." Draco looked inside those gray eyes Hannah had. She smiled. Narcissa said something to Hannah and she smiled and said hello.

After a while, Draco, Andy and Narcissa were drinking tea while they looked at teddy eating cookies and milk.

"Well, I came to invite you to a dinner we are having, to welcome Hermione's uncle David. He is a muggle."

Andromeda laughed and Narcissa looked at him embarrassed.

"Sorry I didn't intend to sound like I don't like him being a muggle, I'm just trying to say it would be nice you guys to come but to let you know he knows about our world, since being Hermione's Godfather."

"you shouldn't be this nervous Draco" said andromeda. "I think it's great he as a muggle knows about our world. And it's great you're having a dinner for him."

"And he is single"

"And that's important because…" said Narcissa playfully. Andromeda looked at her and just denied with her head.

"Mom, I don't know if I have to invite father to the dinner…"

"Well, I wouldn't, you still don't know how he could react, I mean, with Hermione's parents was different because they will be your family."

Draco nodded and started talking about something different, and after a while they went home.

That Saturday Draco and Hermione were expecting their guests trying to get the flat comfortable, when Draco suddenly started to giggle.

"What is so funny?"

"I'm just remembering how mom tried to convince Andy to try to date your uncle David."

"Well, I guess it could be good for the both of them, although it seems uncle David will never get over my aunt's dead. I just want the best for him. Just, I don't know I don't want to push him, you know."

"Hey hunny, what ever will be, will be"

A few hours later, everybody was sitting at the dinner table having a great conversation about the greatest things to be a muggle and a magical person. Narcissa was really into the conversation. David Granger seemed to be a very wise man, and handsome too. Really deep inside her, she had the feeling that he might be a great man to Andy. She wanted her sister to be happy and not so lonely.

"So what do you think about David Granger?" Andromeda asked Narcissa after dinner, when they were sitting in front of the fire.

"Well, he seems a nice man, you know I think it's the perfect man for you"

"For me? Ha! C'mon Cissy. I haven't seen a man less interested in me. Or more interested in you. The man NEVER took his sight away from you."

"Oh be quiet, I'm a married woman… married, almost divorced woman."

Andromeda decided no to say anything else about the subject, just said good night and went home.

David Granger was confused. Every day since his beloved wife had died, he thought love was out for him. He just wanted to come the day he would join Doris in heaven. He never thought his life would change in a minute.

He never believed in love at first sight until he met Narcissa.
