Chapter One
Hermione
OK, I am admitting defeat, I Unspeakable Hermione Granger am officially stumped, I felt like I have been going around and around in circles with this latest project. Although I had been working in the Department of Mysteries for the last five years, I was loaned out to help research for other Departments. This week it was the Department of Magical Artifacts that had requested my help. It wasn't an unusual request but it was something that was making even me scratch my head in confusion.
An Amulet had been found following a cleanup at the house of a dark witch. She had been found illegally breeding Kneazle Cats and using them for stealing in Diagon Alley. Upon an organised raid she was found to be trading in magical creatures.
When the Amulet was found the DMLE found magic coursing through the inanimate object. Harry being Head Auror brought it to the Department of Magical Artifacts who then in turn employed me to find out its history.
For the past week all I had been able to figure out was it was Ancient, dating back to the twelfth century and something was being hidden under layers of Runic Wards. After the war Twelve years ago I went back to Hogwarts and completed my schooling, following near perfect scores in my Newts I accepted a Mastery with Septima VectoronArithmancy. Ancient Runes and Arithmancy run side by side in a lot of things so it wasn't beyond my capabilities but it was that much harder.
Running diagnostic after diagnostic and trying to peel the layers of protection away from the Amulet was proving time consuming and tiring. A knockonthe door interrupted me and for once I was gratuful for the interruption.
"Come in." Harry Potter in his DMLE robes was not a surprise, what was a surprise was Draco Malfoy trailing in behind him with his Healer robes. Following a disastrous relationship with Ginny, Harry remained single and celebate for a long time, noonewas more surprised than me to find Harry and Draco in a lip lock at the Blonde Slytherins birthday party.
Harry joined the Auror straight after the battle and when he was given the case of a missing Narcissa Malfoy the two men grew close. Perhaps as the friends they should have been from first year. Narcissa Malfoy went missing in the battle of Hogwarts, noonehad seen her and although Lucius Malfoy claimed to have killed her there was no body found and noonehad seen anything.
The blonde Slytherins was still holding out hope for a miracle but it had been twelve years and his grief not to mention Harry's obsession to get justice for Narcissa, the woman who lied to Voldenort and saved his life, meant the two of them were still searching.
I had grown close to Draco during my Eighth year at Hogwarts, both of us felt like outcasts and sort of gravitated towardoneanother as friends and study partners. After leaving Hogwarts he wentonto become a Healer and worked primarily in Paediatrics in St Mungos. Harry and Ginnys relationship lasted about two years before she was caught cheatingonhim with a Quidditch Player while awayontour.
Draco surprisingly became close with Harry over the course of the two years and when the news of Ginny came out Draco gave him a safe place to stay where the media wouldn't find him. He no longer lived in Malfoy Manor and sold it before moving into a large house in London. It took them another two years for anything to actually happen but eventually that friendship morphed into something else and they have been together ever since.
"To what do I owe the pleasure?" A bag of Chinese Food was placed in front of me and I didn't realise how late it was.
"I know you Hermione, once you get into a project you become obsessed and forget to eat." I smiled at him before clearing my desk of files, books and the Amulet in its glass case. Neitheroneof us noticed Draco hadn't spoke, he was looking at the Amulet with tears in his eyes. It wasn't until he spoke with a crack in his voice.
"Maya where did you find that?" I tore my gaze from my Salted Chilli Tofu and rice box I seen he was crying. Instantly Harry was over to him and held onto his hand.
"I found itona raid of the crazy cat lady who was stealing using her cats. Dray, what's wrong?" The blonde Slytherin cleared his throat and asked to see it. It wasn't a cursed item, but the magic pouring from it was unknown. I lifted it from the glass case and handed it to him and he broke.
"This was my mother's, I gave it to her for her birthday the year I went to Hogwarts. Father found it and said it had built in protection. I wanted her safe and she told me she was cherish it and never take it off,she didn't. She was wearing it at the Battle, how did that woman get it?" I shook my head at him before getting a file from the pile.
"She bought it at a vendor she fences her stolen goods from. There is no paper trail with it, was there any documents you had when it was bought?" He shrugged his shoulders at me and held into the necklace for dear life.
"OnceI identify its origins and the magic attached to it, I can ask Kingsley if you can have it back. Maybe give it to baby Maya when she gets older." Harry and Draco had been married for three years now and had aoneyear old daughter. They had contacted Pansy who once joked she could be their surrogate at the wedding. She was more than Happy to provide an egg and a womb for nine months.
Pansy Parkinson still wasn't my favourite person in the world but, she loved Draco in the same way I love Harry but was never here, she had a clothing line that she travelled all over the world for. She was like the cool aunt that drops in every now and again to bring presents before jetting off to the next exotic locale she was going to.
Baby Maya Narcissa Malfoy Potter was bornonthe first day of Spring and had Pansys dark hair but Draco striking features. From my understanding they had planned another baby for next year, this time with Harry and Pansy who again was all to happy to comply.
"I will keep workingonit Draco and try and find out everything I can." He nodded and thanked me before setting it back in the glass case and handed it back to me.
"I don't understand how her necklace was found but we never found her body. My father will not tell what he did and I just want to Bury my mother and have closure." We had a service for Narcissa Malfoyoneyear after the war, the Ministry declared her dead and shut the investigation into her disappearance down, it didn't help that Lucius has confessed to casting the killing curse at the woman.
No body to Bury meant Draco was in a continuous state of pain and wonder, he had not been allowed to heal for the past Twelve years. I turned my attentions to Harry again as we all sat down go eat together.
I had moved into Grimmauld Place after Hogwarts and bought it from Harry, it was a different home now that it was when Sirius lived in it, I had expanded, knocked down walls and completely revamped the whole house including the library. It was my home and I think Harry was happy it had went to someone who wanted it. Granted I thought I would be married myself or at leastonmy way to being.
The house was much too large for just me and Vera, my new Kneazle kitten than Harry had adopted for me from crazy lady's house. I loved living there though, I even updated the Black family Tapestry and kept it along the back wall, I added Tonks, Teddy and Remus to it and made it self updating. Little Mayas name was already there between Harry and Draco.
"I know you are off these next two weeks Hermione but could you do me a big favour?" Harry looked guilty for a second before Draco nudged him.
"Spit it out Harry what do you want?" I had booked a well deserved vacation to start tonight after I finished work, I hadn't had a holiday in two years so two whole weeks away from work would be like heaven. I would still do little things while I was off mostly now with this Amulet. Knowing it had a connection to Narcissa Malfoy was surprising but if I can help Draco I will.
"Well Maya is staying with George for the night as we are heading to Glasgow for a concert, I was wondering if you could look after Snuffles for me." They had a Giant Wolfhound who was the biggest softie and loved the cat when he visited.
"Of course, big romantic night planned?" Draco looked sour whereas Harry was smug.
"The Chosenonewon't tell me where he is going, who we are going to see or what I am supposed to wear." Harry smiled at his husband and kissed himonthe cheek. Considering I knew they were going to see The Foo Fighters I decided to help him out a bit.
"Jeans, T-shirt and a leather jacket, you can't go wrong. I don't mind looking after Snuffles for the night, next time I want to look after my Goddaughter though if that is OK." They nodded and we finished our lunch together before they left to go back to work leaving me with my own dilemma now at this point.
The rest of the day passed and I called it a day, I took my file and the Amulet with me after getting permission from Kingsley and made my way out of the Department toward the Floo.
Making my way through and into my home I was greeted by Snuffles running up to me and wanting scratches, Vera followed with her tail flicking behind her. She was clearly happy her friend had came to visit and I brought them into the kitchen to feed them. Harry had already dropped everything off for the dog and so once I got them fed and settled I poured myself a glass of wine and made my way to the bedroom.
When I was doing the renovations I opened up a wall between two of the bedrooms and had a large space that was my own, the large adjoining bathroom was also expanded to make a large tub that sunk into the floor and a shower also. Pouring myself a bath I couldn't help but take out the extra file I had taken home.
The DMLE had closed the case but the file might prove useful to my investigation into the Amulet. I stripped off me and made my way into the tub with wine and case file in hand. I cast the impervious charm to protect from the water and read through the investigation.
Lucius Malfoy gave testimony that he had two other Death eaters had realised that Narcissa had lied about Potter and grabbed her to pull her into an abandoned classroom. They tortured her before he cast the killing curse, he didn't even look back at her as his brand had faded and his dark Lord was dead.
Noonehad seen anything and there was no body found so how did the killing curse obliterate her body. There was a picture of her in her battle gear that must have been taken from a memory because she was wearing the same clothes as she apparently died in.
Washing my hair and body I got out and put some of my homemade hair oilonto tame the curls. I spent the last year at Hogwarts talking to the Portrait of Severus Snape and between us both we came up with a log of theoretical potiosn that I have taken to try and create as the years passed.
Towel drying my hair I slipped into some comfortable pyjama shorts and a tank top before making my way downstairs. I had some Chinese food left from lunch so decidingonthat I sat at the kitchen island reading and calculating some things. Consulting the library proved fruitful as it was almost midnight when I had a breakthrough.
The runic language spoke of a prison, inside the amulet. Something that housed evil witches but would protect the wearer if they were of kind heart. Realising I wasn't getting anywhere tonight I decided to call it a, day and head to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will prove more fruitful.
-/-/-/-/-
It was six am when I was wakened up by a pulsing, I didn't understand where it was coming from, the house is secure and safe as it was still under the fidelius charm. I made my way to the library where I left my work and seen the amulet was pulsing white, it had done it before but this time it was loud and almost reminded me of something you would see in a Sci-fi movie.
Casting some diagnosticsonit I ran through calculations and runes unlocking themonebyone, it seemed easier now for some reason.Onebyoneeach of the runes opened up to a wardonthe necklace, having worked with Bill and Fleurona few projects I felt confident in my abilities and got to work. Waving my wand andonebyonea total of eleven wards getting more and more difficult as they wentonwere taken off the Amulet.
Each time I dismantled a ward it glowed brighter and brighter. Getting to the lastoneI took it off and I practically had to shield my eyes as the brightness was overpowering at this point. A large crack and it took a few seconds for the brightness to die down.
Not believing what I was seeing I had to blink a few times, lyingonthe carpet was a dishevelled and injured Narcissa Malfoy. She was also unconscious and my healing was subpar as it is, it was no question but to call Draco. My Patronus was gone within ten seconds as I took in her injuries.
She had some internal bleeding as well as after effects of the Cruciatus. Even in her unconscious state I could see she was trembling. I rolled her over onto her back and could see a fractured cheek bone, split lip. I healed everything I could see and got some bruise paste from my cupboard. I levitated her upto the spare room and placed heronthe bed allowing better access to her injuries. She looked the same though, upon casting a full diagnosis she was coming up at Thirty-nine which was the same age she was when she disappeared. I need a proper healer, even though they usually don't let doctors treat family members, I am only so knowledgeable. There are potions she is going to need I am going to have to brew.
At least if Draco is monitoring her I can do that. I didn't have to wait very long as I heard the whoosh of the Floo followed by Draco calling my name. I left the room to go downstairs and met them in the living room.
"Hermione, are you hurt? What happened?" Draco came running over to me and checking me for injuries and waving his wand over me before he realised there was nothing wrong with me. I slapped at his hands lightly before tying my hair uponthe back of my head.
" I am not the patient, I need you to stay calm Draco because I need your healer brain right now OK?" Upon his nod I held up the amulet which was green now and he looked confused.
"I broke the wardsonyour mother's necklace, I didn't know what to do but I have healed her as best I can but I need to do some brewing. When she came out of the necklace I almost thought I was dreaming but she is real and is here...I have her stabilised but I figured a proper healer would be better than my untrained hands." Harry pulled me to a stop before whipping out his wand in a security stance.
" Are you telling me that a person was trapped in that Amulet?" I nodded and went to walk up the final flight before being pulled back again this time from Draco.
" Who?" I didn't answer him and instead wrenched my arm from their hands before I punched him softly on the arm again before I just walked toward the room.
" Come along boys, if either of you grab my arm again I will hex you." They trailed behind me and I entered the room again to the medicine cabinet and got all of the potions I had. Luckily I had some bruise paste, skelegro and pain reliever. I would need to brew some of the new Muscle relaxant we created to cope with muscle tremors.
Harry and Draco came into the room and the former stopped dead at the blonde woman lying in my bed but Draco dropped his bag and sprinted to the edge and took in her features.
"Mama..." My heart broke for the blonde boy as I walked up behind him and held onto his shoulders.
"I have stabilised her Draco, she is going to be OK, she is unconscious but is stable and breathing. Give her some time to heal." He took in her injuries and trailed his finger over her face and tears poured down his face.
"She has been stuck in that necklace for twelve years, in this state? Beaten and broken like a doll, what did my father do to her? Have you checked for signs of sexual assault?" I didn't, honestly I was still catching my breath at this point. I cast and it showed up years and years of physical and sexual abuse but none from the battle thankfully.
Just when I think he is going to break completely he stands up, grasps his bag from the feet of a still stunned Harry in the doorway and got to work. He lifted out some potions I didn't have and was thankful I wouldn't have to spend all night brewing.
As Harry seems to wake up he came slowly into the room to take in the womanonthe bed. It was rather eerie to see the woman look the same as the last time we saw her. Draco performed a diagnosticonher and frowned also at her age.
"The necklace seemed to keep her in a sort of stasis charm, I was in bed when I heard thrumming. It was weird, when I got up and seen a bright light coming from it. The wards were so easy to dismantle, especially considering what it had been used for. It was almost guiding me through it, now that she is in front of me it was her magical signature coming from it. I think in some way subconsciously she has been helping me free her." Harry held onto my shoulder and smiled at me.
" Hermione, you have no idea what you have done, Draco gets his mother back, Maya get a grandmother. You have restored our family, a family I hope you know you are apartof. Thank You." I hugged him close to me and couldn't help but let him know I love him.
"Can you help me Granger to get her dressed?" Harry went to contact Kingsley, knowing it was protocol to do so, he was theonewho approved my research into the Amulet so he needs to be informed of what I had found.
Once I stripped the woman down, Draco ruffled through my clean laundry basket and threwonmy Oxford t-shirt and lay her down againonthe bed and bandaged her leg which previously had a long slice in it.
"It is taking everything in my power not to go to my father in Azkaban and kill him while he is sleeping. Why would he do this? Why would he say he killed her if she ended up inside the necklace. That necklace was supposed to protect her. And instead it trapped her." I shook my head at him and honestly I think he has it all wrong.
"I don't think it trapped her in a Defense mechanism Draco, at least not in the way you think, it saved her. When your father cast the killing curse she was wearing the Amulet. Only instead of her dying, I think it saved her and placed her in a safe place. There is maybe a timing unlock or maybe when you touched it the other day it had maybe unlocked the blood and magical signature you left inside of it." He shook his head and came to sit down beside the bedona chair I had transfigured for him.
"I just can't believe she is actually here... alive and breathing, I had so many nights where I dreamt of her, finding her alive. It has been years since I believed I would bring her home. I lost that hope a long time ago so I guess I want to say thank you Hermione. Thank you for bringing her home to me." I just stood up and came over to hug him close to me. Staying like that for a few minutes I broke away and heard the whoosh of the Floo downstairs so I left him with his mother before going downstairs.
I could hear the dulcet tonesonKingsley coming from the kitchen and once I entered the room Kingsley was looking at me in a way I hadn't seen before. A small smile etchedonhis face. Every since the war Kingsley had become a very good friend, he had started dating Andromeda two years ago and so became a permanent fixture in our lives as well as our boss.
"There is truly no bounds to your brilliance Hermione. What you have done today is incredible." I hugged him before Harry interrupted our moment.
"This is going to spiral in the media, we need to control the narrative and get there before it gets leaked. Andromeda needs to know also, she is her sister and deserves to know her sister is alive. We also need an Occlumens, someone good that won't spill to the media. Andromeda is the best Occlumens I know and she can get Narcissa memory of the event." I nodded as did Kingsley before Harry sent her a Patronus to ask to come to Grimmauld Place.
Putting the kettleonI could see Kingsley nod in appreciation to me as I went through the motions. Never did I think this was how I thought my first vacation morning would go. Narcissa Malfoy coming back from the dead technically wasn't the most shocking, the fact that she chose to do it in my home was a different story.
When I sit back and look at the big picture, now knowing the outcome it seems rather obvious that she would have been stuck in the necklace but even in the Wizarding World that seems a little bit much. A magical amulet imprisoning the beautiful witch who lied to the face of the Dark Wizard hellbentondestroying the world. I swear there is a fairy tale in there somewhere. No doubt it would be Lunas next book. The Blonde Slytherin had released loads of children's stories.
Narcissa Malfoys life had been anything but a fairy tale, sureonpaper she married the handsome, wealthy wizard and had a child together. Outward appearances were decieving, plastered all over the Society pages they looked like the perfect couple and yet...the sinister side to him and his confessions of beating his wife into submission was so far removed from what I had previously thought.
It wasoneof the reasons I gave Draco a chance in Hogwarts, to have grown up with that man and the pressure he undoubtedly putsonyou couldn't have been easy. Once he started trusting me he told me some stories of his mother's life and Lucius Malfoy was a waste of man. Noonemisses him and yet he will leave his markoneveryone he harmed, Draco, Narcissa even Ginny who I think still hasn't gotten over being possessed by Voldemort to this day.
I only hope he dies in Azkaban and its a slow and painful death. Setting down a cup of tea in front of Harry and Kingsley a loud POP echoed from the entrance hall and Andromedas soft voice was calling Harry. Once she entered the kitchen and seen Kingsley she smiled at her boyfriend and hugged him close to her.
"So what's with the super, secret, sunrise summons? Does it have anything to do with why I woke up alone this morning?" The glint in her eye was not an unknownonebut Kingsley smiled endearingly at her before looking at Hermione for answers. The man is Minister of Magic and yet his girlfriend frightens him. The case of Narcissa disappearance was a difficultoneand when it was shut down more than Draco was devastated.
"We, needs an Occlumens to extract a memory from a witness. I have been workingonsomething for Harry. A necklace was found in a criminals house but I had managed to unravel the wards placed upon it." Andromeda looked confused for a second before looking at me looking even more confused.
"OK, why don't you just show me what's goingonHermione." I took her by the hand and brought her upstairs, it will probably be better if I just show her to her baby sister and then explain. As soon as we crossed the threshold of my spare room Andromeda stopped dead at the door.
An audible gasp came from her mouth along with the whisper of 'Cissy' I know Andromeda had a lot of regrets when it came to her sister especially after she had grown closer to Draco. After the war he reached out to her and he had became very close to his aunt. They had dinner every week and he had joined St Mungos after she had told him about the job.
Andromeda had worked as a healer for twenty years, rightonup until the war and her recommendation for Draco set himonhis way in his career. All in all the only person that was missing from the newly formed family was Narcissa.
Slowly she walked over to stand behind Draco who had tears streaming down his face. Upon seeing his aunt he stood and hugged her close to his body in a solidarity gesture. Truly they were the only two people who understood each other I nthst moment. Draco had been without his mother for so many milestones but Andromeda had been there for him.
The now eldest Black sister walked him down the aisle during his marriage to Harry, she was there for the birth of Maya and had stepped up into a Matriarchal role for the young man. Andromeda had been without her sister for decades and after the dust had settled after the war she regretted so many things when it came to her family but hopefully they will have the chance to start over.
"I don't even know what questions to ask? Lucius admitted to killing her, how exactly is she here? How does she look so young?" I decided to take the explanation at least as best as I could. It was not going to be an easy conversation but I bet when the woman in question wakes up the difficulty of the conversation is going to raise tenfold.
"Harry had a case with a crazy cat lady, he found an Amulet in her home and there was wards surrounding it. He gave it to me to see if I could circumvent the wards. It has took me a while but this morning I was able to untangle all of them and there a bright light before it plonked your sister onto my rug in the living room. " Andromeda stroked along her sisters cheek, tracing the faint bruises which were in the process of healing.
" What happened to her? Why is she so broken?" Truthfully the full extent of her injuries surprised me, from what I could tell at the final battle she never lifted her wand against anyone, mostly because Draco was using his mother's wand. I know his guilt got the better of him about that.
According to him she was adept enough in wand less magic to protect herself but, I know he had often blamed himself for his father gaining the upper hand. Andromeda lifted up the parchment that had her injuriesonit.
"She was in pretty bad shape when she was ejected from the amulet, I healed her as best I could and got her somewhere comfortable." Andromeda thanked me before sitting down as Harry and Kingsley came into the room.
"So Lucius trapped her in the necklace and it what, kept heronice for twelve years?" I shook my head at the woman before taking a seat at the window I had often used for reading, this entire room have bookshelves filled with booksonPotions and Alchemy. When I was decorating I gave each room a theme, it was fitting for the Malfoy matriarch.
"I don't think Lucius was aware of what the amulet did, I think he cast the killing curse with the intention of killing her and the necklace protected her. When I was unravelling the wards I felt Draco magical signature but it was juvenile, I think when you gave it to her it instilled an extra protectiononit. " Draco was confused which was a strange lookonhim considering he could keep up in a conversation with me.
" Juvenile, Hermione I gave her that the night before I left for Hogwarts. My father took me to Borgin and Burkes a week before I left. The night before we went into first year she came to tuck me in, I didn't do any magiconit. I had only got my wand and didn't know anything yet." I nodded and took a sip of my tea, before shaking my head and lifted the necklace up to hand it to him.
" There is no greater love than a mother and her child, that was proven when Lily Potter cast herself in front of Harry and saved him, why can it not also be proven between a son and his mother. I think you unknowingly put the protections in place, and I think activated it yesterday when you picked it up." Everyone looked deep in thought for a second before Draco looked at me.
"So all I had to do all these years was touch the necklace and it would have freed my mother." I shook my head at him to help him clarify.
"No you would have needed someone to break the wards of it, it was missing Draco. Lost in the carnage of the battle, I still don't really know how Mrs Crazy got it but its still something I have to workon. You're magic is still ingrained in it, the protection is still there. The wards however are gone." He nodded his head in understanding before grasping his mother's hand and kissing the back of it.
"Do you think you can get her memory my love?" This time it was Kingsley addressing his girlfriend and not the Minister asking a healer. We needed to keep the circle small who know about it, this way Andromeda was a fully qualified healer and was more than capable of doing it. She nodded to him for a second before taking out her wand and standing above her sister.
"Legillimens." She was gone and back with before anyone realised what was goingonand slowly the blue, wispy material came from her head and was placed in a vial for Kingsley to view.
"OK, this has now became a secret. We need to keep Narcissa away from the public eye. Once the investigation is reopened we can announce to the media that she is alive and well. Potter pick an auror you trust to keep the secret and get them to do the interrogations with youonthe woman you found it with. When she wakes up do you think she would be able to sty with you both?" Harry immediately nodded before Draco looked apprehensive..
" When this comes out our house will be bombarded, our home isonour ministry file, its apartof public record. She won't be able to rest and recuperate with reporters standing outside our home. Same as with Andromeda. I can haveoneof the Malfoy properties ready in a week or so but I don't really want her to be alone." I don't know what possessed me go say it but the words were out of my mouth before I could stop myself.
"Well she can stay here, I am off for the next two weeks and am going to work from home so she can stay here. My house is not apartof public record because I work for the Unspeakables. It is warded and secret kept so noonewill bother her here." Draco smiled at me in thanks whereas Andromeda looked confused for a second.
"You are my family, by extension so is she. I will protect her, not that I think she needs protecting, she is a formidable witch from what I gather." Harry left to get changed leaving Draco to send his Patronus to his boss to put himoncall. Andromeda didn't leave but Kingsley gave her a kiss goodbye before making his own way to the office.
Now all we had to do was wait until the woman wakes up. Looking at her now with her long blonde hair resting like a halo around her head and not a stitch of make uponshe looked amazing. She had always been the type of woman to make other women jealous, her looks were envious but here in the large bed she looked like a broken doll.
When we were at Malfoy Manor all those years ago I noticed she was thin, much thinner than she should have been, I didn't tell anyone but when my eyes met her own as her sister carved into my arm she gave me something to hold onto. Those bright blue eyes gave me a life raft, I remember hearing a soft soothing voice in my head telling me to holdonin there, it was going to be OK.
That was something I have never uttered to anyone and it was a long time ago so who knows what it meant. Knowing her true allegiance after the war gave me a whole new appreciation to the blonde woman.
Not only did she help me, she saved Harry also by lying to the most evil wizard we had ever seen. Without her we would have lost the war which was exactly Harry's words when he tried to get her pardoned. He stood and told of Severus Snape and Narcissa Malfoy and everything they did for him, his heart wrenching account of Professor Snape memories tugged at the heartstrings and considering the Wizarding world was already aware of how much of a bastard Lucius Malfoy was...it wasn't difficult for Harry to convince the Wizangamot to pardon them both. I decided to give them some time alone and so I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Pancakes all around I think, getting the batter ready the Muggle way allowed me to think. It seems I have a roommate for the next while, it didn't bother me because other that Vera the house was quiet. It would be good to have company.
Stacking the pancakesonplates I floated them upstairs behind me and walked into the room to give to my guests. They thanked me as I took my seatonthe window alcove and ate in comfortable silence. I guess all we had to do now was wait.
That's all folks! I hope you enjoyed the first Chapter. I am not too sure when I will get chances to post this story but hopefully it won't be too long between chapters. Please Review.
