Next chapter as promised. Please review, they make me want to write more so maybe if I get review I'll post the next chapter sooner ;)
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter unfortunately.
The nights were the hardest thing for Lucius. He wasn't used to sleeping alone after 10 years with Narcissa. He struggled sleeping, lying awake just him and his thoughts. The door creaked open, the hallway light illuminating a small figure with blond hair clutching a dragon.
"Daddy?"
"Yes Draco?"
"I can't sleep."
"Why not dragon?"
"There's a funny shadow in my room."
"It's nothing Draco."
"But it's scaring me."
"There's nothing in your room Draco."
"Daddy?"
"Yes Draco?"
"Can I sleep in your bed tonight?" Lucius sighed and rolled over.
"Of course Draco." Draco climbed into Lucius' bed and cuddled up close to him and soon was fast asleep. Lucius was glad that Draco was there so he wasn't so alone at night. Of course it couldn't become a regular thing, but Lucius was glad of the company-he didn't want to be alone. He wanted Narcissa but he was too proud to let her back
The nights were the hardest thing for Narcissa. That was when she couldn't fight the memories, when she couldn't fight the tears and when she couldn't pretend she didn't love Lucius still. But for Narcissa she was alone, her baby dragon wasn't there to keep her company anymore. Andromeda had Ted but she had no one. Again she cried herself to sleep. Night was the only time she let herself cry. In the day she pretended to be fine. She pretended she didn't care. She didn't want sympathy, that just made things worse. Narcissa wanted Lucius and Draco.
The next day came and Narcissa tried to hide the fact that she'd been crying. And failed. It was glaringly obvious, but Andromeda knew better than to mention it. Narcissa picked at her breakfast, when an owl swooped down into the kitchen, landing in front of Narcissa. Narcissa reached out and untied the letter from the owls leg. She opened the letter and turned pale. Blinking back tears she ran up to her room. Andromeda followed, looking worried, wondering what the letter had said.
The door was locked but sounds of sobbing could be heard through the door.
"Narcissa, let me in" Andromeda said through the door. There was no reply. Andromeda waited outside the door, knowing that Narcissa would let her in when she was ready to talk.
Cliff-hanger this week. What's in the letter? Virtual cookies if you can guess. But you'll just have to read the next chapter to find out. Review please.
