AN: This story is just something that popped into my head the other day and I had to write it down. This prologue is very short and is basicallly just giving you a glimpse of what life for Narcissa is like after the war.
I could see the silhouette of a man walking towards me, well towards the gates. I continued moving forward as I wrapped my shawl a bit tighter around me. October was ending and it had been a wet and cold month, I can not imagine November will be much better.
As we crossed paths we both the messy haired man (so much like his father) and I gave the other a stiff nod. We may be visiting the same person but we were by no means friendly. He would go back to his wife and kids tonight. What would I go back to? An imprisoned husband, an angry son and daughter- in- law, a distant sister, an empty house, and no friends.
I continued my way through the rows of graves and mentally berated myself. I should stop feeling sorry for myself, today was my day to be grateful. Today was a day to be grateful. Later I would be taking Scorpius and Teddy trick or treating (and since I was taking Teddy I would also probably end up taking James, Albus, and Lily. Plus if I took them I would end up taking, Ro-well basically I would be taking the entire Weasley generation that wasn't of age trick- or treating)
Yes I was grateful. I finally reached the grave stones that I had been searching for. I stopped in front of it and wiped the tears away as they rolled down my cheeks.
"Hey Lily, James. Happy Halloween."
