"Yes"
It was Christmas. Lucius was away working on something Ministry-related, and Draco was in Argentina for a work trip. The snow fell silently across the grounds of Malfoy Manor. Narcissa despised Lucius for leaving her alone all of the time. She hated it.
It was cold inside the manor. Narcissa peered out of the large window that overlooked the gardens. She wrapped her arms around herself.
She heard a loud crack echoing through the frosty air, and spotted a little dot amongst the flurry of snow, which was growing gradually bigger and bigger.
She knew immediately what the little dot was. Or who it was.
A wave of warmth spread over her like she had drunk a hot drink, and she was rushing down the stairs without even stopping to grab her cloak. She wrenched the door wide open and ran towards Fleur.
When they reached each other, they slammed into each other hard, embracing as the snow fell all around them.
"I meesed you," Fleur panted, gazing into Narcissa's blue eyes.
"I missed you so much," Narcissa replied, placing her hands on Fleur's cheeks and smiling. "Where have you been?"
"I've been sinking," Fleur said slowly. "And I know zis sounds crazy but I sink zat I want to leave my 'usband."
"What?" Narcissa exclaimed, feeling her heart warm up.
"I am een love wiz you," Fleur said, grinning. "Just tell me yes and I'm yours."
Narcissa didn't need telling twice. She knew her answer.
"Yes," she breathed, and the kiss that followed melted the coldest snow.
