It was another hour before Dobby arrived back at Malfoy Manor.
"Where have they taken little Harry, Dobby?" Narcissa asked.
"They be taking the little Master to the Muggles. Petunia and Vernon Dursley. They is being Master Harry's Muggle aunt and uncle."
"Why would they take him there?" Narciss wondered aloud to herself. Dobby answered.
"Dumbledore be saying that he put blood wards up around the Muggles' house. Mistress Lily Potter sacrificed her life so that little Master Harry could live. That be providing strong protections for little Master Harry and will be stopping any dark wizards from being able to find him."
"No dark wizards can find him there? And it gives protection to his blood, is that right?"
"That is being right, Mistress."
Narcissa sat in thought for a few minutes. If her plan worked and people believed Lucius had died fighting alongside James Potter against the Dark Lord, then the Death Eaters would come after Narcissa and Draco for revenge. Her own sister, Bellatrix, would gladly torture them both to death if she thought for a moment that Lucius had betrayed her lord. They had to hide.
"Dobby, is there room for us to hide in this house? I know it would be rough living, but is there room?"
"Mistress would need to look and see but I be thinking so," Dobby replied.
"Very well, please take me there."
The elf popped the woman to Number 4 Privet Drive in Little Whinging, Surrey. Narcissa was shocked and angered to see the baby had been left on the freezing cold front stoop in the middle of November. The baby's lips were blue when she picked him up. She cast a warming charm on the boy and cuddled him close.
Narcissa cast an unlocking charm on the front door and went inside. It was dark in the sitting room, so she cast a lumos. The entranceway to the house was small but the sitting room was a good size. The staircase was rather plain and the dining room was small but Narcissa thought the place was overall rather homey.
She walked into the kitchen and saw a small hallway leading back towards the garage. There was a good sized bedroom down the hallway, along with a toilet, and a storage room. The bedroom had a sign that said "Marge's Room" on the outside. Narcissa ignored that and went inside. The room was a good size. It had a fairly large bed and the faint smell of dog. It didn't look like it was used often, if the layer of dust on everything was anything to go by.
This room would do, if need be. It had an entrance to the outside that opened to the side garden. There was a door in the side garden that opened to the alleyway.
Narcissa quietly walked up the stairs, and found the bedrooms and two bathrooms. Only two bedrooms were occupied. They were all good sized rooms but Narcissa would prefer to be as far away from the family as possible. Yes, the downstairs back bedroom was the right place to set up camp, so to speak. She lay Harry down on the bed in the room, with pillows piled around him so he wouldn't roll off of the bed.
With that decided, Narcissa turned and left the building.
