Milly awoke several hours later. Her Aunt Narcissa was sat by her bed, a concerned expression on her face. As she slowly sat up, Milly asked " what happened?"
"You collapsed. We think it was a negative side effect of being around people who have lost all memories of you" her aunt explained.
Milly nodded. "Well can I get up now?" she asked.
Narcissia stood. "Of course, lunch is being served in half an hour. We shall await you in the dining room if you're feeling up to it" she told her niece.
Looking relieved, Milly got up. "I'll be there" she confirmed. Her aunt nodded and left the room.
At lunch...
"Milly will need to go and buy new school robes, my dear" Lucius told his wife as they all sat down to lunch.
Draco was sitting across the table from his cousin, looking at her curiously.
"What?" Milly asked him.
"Did you know that I was your cousin?" he asked.
Internally groaning, Milly nodded. "I was aware" she replied.
"Then why did you never come and visit me?" Draco asked.
Milly raised her eyebrows. "I wasn't aware that I would be made welcome" she answered.
"Well this is your home now" Lucius told his niece, who nodded.
Narcissa sipped her pumpkin juice serenely. "Milly sweetie, if you're feeling up to it, I think you and I should pay a visit to Diagon Alley this afternoon" she addressed her niece.
"Certainly Aunt Narcissa" Milly smiled.
Her eleven-year-old cousin looked sulky. "Can I come with you?" he asked his mother.
Narcissa nodded. "Of course you can Draco darling...that is, of course, if Milly doesn't mind!"
Noticing the hopeful expression on the face of her younger cousin, Milly shook her head. "Of course I don't mind" she smiled.
Narcissa gave her niece an approving look. "Well then, after lunch, we will tidy ourselves up and then be off to Diagon Alley" she smiled.
