Chapter 182

Whereas Draco had stayed at school for Christmas both of his parents were alarmed to find he wanted to return to the manor for Easter.

"Why?" spat Lucius. "Why is he being so stupid? He is safe there….he should stay put…"

"I know. Its all wrong him coming home. But what can we do? If he wants to come…."

Part of Narcissa was selfishly excited by her sons return. She did long to see him. If only she could do so safely.

Lucius sighed. His wife knew he was still unwell, but not wanting to dent his pride any further, did not comment.
