Chapter 48

"Mother! We're home!" Narcissa moved into the main entrance at her son's call.

She smiled at the image of both Draco and Blaise standing in front of the doors to the manor. Behind them she could see the snow covered grounds of the Malfoy manor. She shivered slightly as a cold breeze swept its way through the entrance.

"Come in then! You're freezing the whole house!" Draco smirked and walked towards Narcissa.

"Nice to see you too mother." He said sarcastically before hugging her. Blaise came up behind him and Draco moved away.

"Pleasure to see you again Narcissa." He said politely taking her hand and kissing it.

She smiled, "Still the gentleman, I see." Blaise grinned. "Is Cercis up and about yet?" he asked dropping her hand and standing next to Draco again.

"You better follow me." She turned and led the way up the stairs. The two boys followed, confused looks on their faces. Narcissa stopped at a door. They could hear nothing from inside, due to a ward that was more then likely up.

Narcissa opened the door.

" - DIDN'T YOU MENTION ANYTHING!"

"BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO WORRY YOU!"

"I'M YOUR FATHER! IT'S MY JOB TO WORRY ABOUT YOU!"

The two boys watched in open shock as they heard then saw Cercis and Severus both standing 10 ft apart bellowing at each other.

"What are they arguing about?" Draco asked his mother.

"Severus saw Cercis self harm 3 days ago. 2 days ago Severus confronted him."

Blaise blinked, "And they've been going like this ever since?"

Narcissa nodded. "I don't think either has slept in those 2 days."

Draco shook his head and began laughing lightly to himself. Blaise looked at his friend. "What?" he asked confused.

"Of all the things I expected these two to argue about, self-harm was the last thing I'd expected."

Blaise sniggered, "Especially since he's head of Slytherin, you would have thought he wouldn't have over reacted wouldn't you."

Narcissa watched the two boys talk, listening to their conversation. According to what they were saying, Severus dealt wit self-harming students all the time. So why was he over reacting. Properly because it's his son this time. She mused to herself. Snapping herself out of her memories and closed the door.

"Lets get you two settled in again, they'll pause when they want something to eat later. You three can play catch up then." She smiled innocently at the look on her son's face at being told to 'play'. Laughing she moved off down the corridor and showed Blaise where he would be staying.

"Cercis' room is 4 doors down, Draco's is seven. See you later."

She smiled at both before disappearing down the hall.

Draco nodded to Blaise before moving off down to his room. Upon opening the door he smiled to himself.

He was home.
