The class reunion brought former Hogwarts students together again. The
Heads of the houses looked how happy their former students looked and were
happy as well because they knew how well they had lived. Only Snape was
unhappy. He looked how Remus Lupin talked with Ted Tonks and his wife
Andromeda, and they laughed. Lupin had been his enemy. He had been a
Marauder with James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew. They had
bullied him, and no one had liked him... except Narcissa. She had been a real
angel. She had supported him when he had had tough times and had been angry
at Sirius when he had bullied Severus. Snape sighed. Lupin's life was much,
and had always been, better than his. Now he lived with the Tonks's, Sirius
was living in a forest as a dog and trying to avoid the Dementors, and
James and Peter were dead.
McGonagall came to Lupin and the Tonks's.
"Good evening, Remus! And hello to you too, Andromeda and Ted!" she said happily.
"Hello, professor McGonagall!" said Andromeda. Lupin smiled.
"Good evening, professor McGonagall", he said.
"We'll go to the great hall soon. We are waiting for some Slytherin students who are late!" said McGonagall. Lupin laughed bitterly.
"Ha! I always knew that Slytherin would cause more problems than the other houses!" he snapped. Snape couldn't listen to that. He went much further from Lupin and closed his eyes. Where was Narcissa when he needed her?
Narcissa was about to go. She looked at her reflection in the mirror.
"I'm ready!" she thought in her mind happily. She came downstairs and was surprised when she saw that Lucius was leaving the Manor wearing his Death Eater costume.
"Lucius? Where are you going?" she asked.
"I want to be with someone. The Lestranges left earlier, and I'm going to look for my Death Eater friends as well", replied Lucius. Narcissa nodded.
"Alright. Have fun", said Narcissa.
"Narcissa... I won't blame you if you have fun there. I will forgive you because you have a good reason to do it", said Lucius calmly. Narcissa nodded.
"Thank you. But I don't think that I'll do it", she said. Lucius nodded and left their home. Narcissa looked how he disppeared into the darkness.
Each table had its empty seat. Some places had more empty seats than some others but basically, the situation was depressing. Most former Slytherins were Death Eaters and they hadn't courage to come because they were afraid of the Aurors and Dementors. It was sad, even to McGonagall because she had wanted to see former students from the Slytherin house. Some had come- but they hadn't been very familiar to anyone. There were three seats empty in the Gryffindor table- James and Lily's, and ,of course, Sirius's. Also in the Hufflepuff table there was one seat empty- Peter's. Everybody thought they knew what had happened... but Lupin knew it better. The saddest thing was that one seat was empty in the Ravenclaw table- Narcissa's. No one knew what had happened to her 15 years ago, and people assumed she was dead. Snape couldn't believe that. He had a feeling that Narcissa was still alive.
Suddenly, when they were about to begin to eat, the door opened and Narcissa came in.
"Good evening", she said.
"Narcissa!" whispered Severus and stood up. Also Lupin stood up.
"Narcissa!" he said happily and came to hug Narcissa.
"Oooh, Remus, it's so good to see you!" she said. Severus stared at them bitterly. He knew that Remus and Narcissa had been friends at Hogwarts and he also knew that Lupin was a werewolf. But he had to keep it quiet. He wasn't allowed to tell the truth about Lupin to anyone- although he knew that Narcissa had a right to know it.
Narcissa turned and looked at Severus. She smiled happily at him, and Snape smiled back.
"Go to your seat, Miss Black, and we'll begin!" told Flitwick. Narcissa went to the Ravenclaw table.
They had a really good party after the dinner. They had a ball and little competitions between the houses, and the former students talked with each other and their teachers.McGonagall was in the middle of her former students the most of evening but when she got to be alone, she remembered Lucian. The former Potions teacher had had a good life- mostly. He had always been afraid of his father who had tried to manipulate him. Luckily Lucian had had his wife- until she was killed. Lucian's father had killed her. That's why Lucian had been so angry at his father. McGonagall remembered how close she had been to Lucian: she had supported him when he had lost his wife, and he had supported her when she had adopted her son to a royal Scottish couple. Other teachers had assumed that McGonagall had had a secret crush on him- but the only one that knew the truth was Dumbledore: she had been in love with him. McGonagall sighed. Although Lucian hadn't been the father of her son, he had been a good teacher for him. Now he was successful, thanks to Lucian, but he didn't know the truth about his real parents.
"What are you pondering?" asked Narcissa as she came to McGonagall.
"Miss Black? How nice to see you!" said McGonagall.
"I'm not Miss Black anymore. I'm Mrs Malfoy nowadays", said Narcissa.
"Oh my God! That's horrible!" said McGonagall.
"Yes... Lucius isn't the most caring husband but he has his feelings too. He loves another woman", said Narcissa. McGonagall shook her head.
"Stupid man. You would deserve something much better!" she growled.
"Ooo, that's OK, I'm not innocent either. I love another man too!" said Narcissa. McGonagall looked at her.
"You are still in love with Snape", she said.
"I never stopped loving him. I was kidnapped and forced to marry him", explained Narcissa.
"Lucifer Malfoy?" asked McGonagall. Narcissa nodded.
"Lucifer Malfoy. And Lucian tried to save me", she replied. McGonagall couldn't hear Lucian's name, so she looked at Severus. She could see he wanted to be with Narcissa.
"Go to Severus. He wants eagerly to be with you", she said and left. Narcissa turned around and saw Severus. She could see the same thing as McGonagall. She came to Severus and whispered:
"I've missed you."
"And I've missed you so much!" said Severus and kissed Narcissa passionately.
McGonagall came to Lupin and the Tonks's.
"Good evening, Remus! And hello to you too, Andromeda and Ted!" she said happily.
"Hello, professor McGonagall!" said Andromeda. Lupin smiled.
"Good evening, professor McGonagall", he said.
