Chapter 9

The next day Lucius and Narcissa did not leave each others side. They had spent two weeks apart which was now just two long for the young lovers.

He took her to Diagon alley and got there school things together.

That morning, Lucius had come over very early so they could have a quiet breakfast together which was very nice by all accounts. All her family was out early so it was just them and they took there time.

They did not hurry and enjoyed each others company, just as they always did.

"Oh my god!" she said as her Hogwarts letter arrived (he had got his before leaving for the black manor.) "There here Lucius, my OWL results." she bite her lip with nerves and looked down at the envelope. "Do you want to do the honors Master Malfoy?" she smiled nervously.

"If you want me to darling," he said.

She sat back down and passed him the envelope. He grinned at her and began to rip the envelope open.

"Dear Miss Black," he began reading the letter.

"Enclosed in the book list you will need for you'll sixth year classes.

The Hogwarts express will be leaving on the first of September rat eleven o'clock sharp.

Regards,

Deputy Head Minerva McGonagall."

"Yes I know all that get on with my results."

"Just listen dearest!

"Ps. Congratulation for coming eight in the year group for your OWL results.

"Charms O, Potion , transfiguration O, History of Magic A- Narcissa you didn't get a thing below an A. Baby, you did so well. Come here," he embrace her and showed her for herself.

He of course now that he knew how well she had done he of course treated her to lots of extravagate gifts.

He made her feel like a princess.

She had new robes and make up and jewellary.

Lunch was a more serious affair though.

"Narcissa, if anything like what Pettigrew did ever happens to you again I need to know you will come straight to me dear," said Lucius holding her hand.

"Oh Lucius-" she said.

"No Narcissa, promise me. I love you and you're my fairy tale princess." said Lucius stroking her hand. She couldn't help laughing at him, he was so hard most of the time but when they were together, well he was a different man.

"And you are my night in shining armor, if you hadn't of come Lucius…" she shook her head. The consequences were to horrible to even consider.

"Don't think on it darling. Just promise me, no more secrets," he pleaded.

"No more secrets," she reassured kissing his hand. "We were so scared."

"We?" he said confused. There was only one Narcissa.

"Yes, we me and baby Draco, we thought that we'd lost our daddy," she said sadly.

"No darling, that is never going to happen."

"Good," she said as he cupped her face and looked on her face lovingly.

Yes, maybe she was not the only women whom could bare him heirs, but she was the only one he could love for it.

"Daddy, I'm home," called a very happy Narcissa Black. What a day. "I have to tell you something. He would be so proud when he heard her results.

"GET IN HERE NOW!" shouted a very unhappy Orion black. What a day.

When she entered his study she found she was not alone with her father.

Bella was there with a tear stained face and Sirius grinning smugly.

"What's happened?" said Narcissa although deep down she knew.

"I know everything!" said Orion. Just then Rodolphus came in to the room.

"Get out you!" said Orion to him but Rod didn't move. He stayed with Bella. Orion turned back to Narcissa.

"For goodness sake Narcissa, why didn't you tell me!" said Orion.

"Bella asked me to stay quiet, father you told us never to break a trust-"

"Unless it is necessary," he said with a stern gaze. Fire burnt in his eyes. "You should have talked to me, I thought I knew you."

"You do daddy!" said Narcissa shaking her head. She didn't want to be hearing this.

"NO, the Narcissa I knew talks to her daddy. Why?" he demanded. Never had he been so ashamed of his middle daughter, yet it was the younger who was taking the heat of it.

"Bella, needed to trust me, I want going to break that trust."

"Go to your room, I will deal with you later!"

Lucius shad been doing his homework when he found a distraught Narcissa in his fire place.

"Darling?" he said his voice thick with love and concern.

"He knows, he knows everything," she sobbed.

"Who knows what?" said Lucius.

"Daddy, he knows Bella is having a baby!"

"OH Narcissa!"

"He so mad, he is angry with me for not telling him!" she said.

"Oh Narcissa, do you want me to come over?" he offered his books practicality already away.

"No darling, I'll be alright but just keep the fire call free for me ok?"

"Done, how did he find out?"

"Sirius the snitch," she smiled sadly going back to her room with a last wink at him. This wasn't good.

11111111111111111111111111111111

"I have to thank you Narcissa, you showed so much loyalty today."

"You're my big sister and contraire to popular I do love you with all my heart, even if you are stupid," said Narcissa embracing Bellatrix.

"What's going to happen now?"

"I and rod are getting our wish's granted. I'm getting married din little less than two weeks and I want you to be maid of honor."

"Of course I will be."

"Good, I feel a shopping trip coming on!" Bella smiled. Things were going to be ok.

111111111111111111111111111111111111

"I didn't mean to shout at you but things got more than a little complicated this afternoon," said a calmer Orion. "Narcissa if things get that serious again you have to tell me."

"I will daddy," she said sitting in a chair opposite from him in front of the fire place. "Then I have to tell you something now."

"What is it?"

Narcissa stared at the fire place and told him all about what had gone on with peter and the attempted rape.

No more secrets.

When she finally meant his eyes he looked nearly in tears but Orion didn't do crying. He blinked them back till later when people could not see him.

"I am so sorry you had to go through that. It seems I am not focusing on my girls enough right now am I dear? I should have known."

"I'm ok daddy. I told you, Lucius, he came to my rescue." she said. "I really love him."

"I can see that dearest and I think he loves you just as much in return."

She smiled at him tiredly. "I think I'm going to head to bed." she swept down and kissed him on the cheek. "Oh and daddy these came this morning, there my Owl results." she left them on the desk and left the room.
