When she arrived home, she called for her elves.
"Dobby, Mipsy, come here please."
The two elves popped into the room.
"Please inform the other elves we will be leaving. They are to close down Malfoy Manor tonight. No one may enter without my permission, understand?"
"Yes, mistress," the elves echoed one another.
"Good. Now, please go pack all my things. Pack Draco's room as well. We will be using the Italian Villa trunk for this trip. Please pack everything inside. We will need supplies for at least one month, so please gather those as well. There will be two babies. Dobby, please return to Potter Manor. Pack up Harry's things into the Villa trunk. Please pack up the rest of the house in a multi-compartment trunk. Go as soon as the body's of the Potters have been moved by the aurors."
"Yes, mistress," the elves said in unison. They popped away to begin the duties assigned to them. Narcissa walked the rest of the house and gathered things she thought they'd need. She gathered a few sentimental items, as well.
Within the hour, all was packed and ready to go. Narcissa stood in the foyer with Draco cradled to her chest and looked around the place one final time. So much fear and so many happy memories lived here. Lucius wasn't always a monster. Sometimes, he was loving and debonair. Was. Past tense, because of her.
Narcissa didn't feel guilty for protecting herself but she felt ashamed of what she had done. She hoped no one ever found out.
