Finally Belonging Somewhere-Part 9:
Narcissa had insisted on meeting Charlotte so Astoria brought the witch along and Aurora had been happy to see her friend and Narcissa spoke to the girl before allowing her to see Aurora. She watched as Charlotte spoke calmly to Aurora and soon Aurora began to open up and smiled.
"Charlotte knows what's going on," Narcissa told Lucius as she watched Aurora with her friend.
"Draco told her I'm guessing," Lucius said, "how do you feel about it all?"
"Well I know she has Draco and Daphne and Astoria but this Charlotte is in her dorm and all her classes. I think maybe I should get the mirrors Bella and I used to use," Narcissa said, "I have both of them don't I?"
"Yes you do. Is it wise for her to have it?"
"I want some way of keeping in touch with her and they'll be quicker than owls. Please go and get them," Narcissa said and Lucius knew he'd lost so he kissed Narcissa on the lips before heading back to the Manor to get the mirrors after warding the room.
Narcissa watched before Charlotte had to leave so the blonde went over and sat on the bed.
"When Lucius returns he will have a pair of mirrors. They form a method of communication. You press the button in the handle and you can talk to me and see me," Narcissa explained, "It's much faster than owls." Aurora nodded as she sat crossed legged on the bed.
"My robes and shoes are just horrible," Aurora sighed, "us orphans just get second hand things all the time," she said before getting her Charms book out to read. Narcissa's eyes widened as she saw the state of Aurora's books.
"You need new books, robes and shoes," Narcissa observed.
"I'll be fine. You've already done so much for me…"
"Aurora you are family now, even if Lucius and I are only your foster parents," Narcissa said stroking the witch's hair before Lucius arrived back.
"Even if we are only her foster parents what?" he asked.
"Her shoes and books are falling apart and her robes are unspeakable," Narcissa said, "I said she needs new ones."
"And I said I'm fine with what I've got sir," Aurora said.
"No. We are getting you new things," he said before Aurora burst into tears and Narcissa hurriedly wrapped her arms around Aurora.
"I know you're struggling to cope with all these changes but these books will fall apart soon," Narcissa said softly, "please let us. You are never ever going back there Aurora so we may as well get you the whole brand new set. Where's your wand?" Aurora got her wand out and looked at it. It appeared to be brand new, "that was brand new at least," she added before she pulled hers out and Aurora wiped her eyes before they opened wide.
"It's the same colour as yours," she said.
"Yes it is," Narcissa said before she gave Aurora her wand and took the mirrors from Lucius and showed them to Aurora and explained how they worked. It was old magic but she wanted Aurora to be less scared.
All too soon it was time for the Malfoy parents to head back to Wiltshire and Aurora was a little calmer and said she'd keep the mirror on her at all times so Narcissa cast an unbreakable charm on the mirror. What she hadn't told Aurora was she'd had a danger sensor built in so she'd be alerted if anything happened to Aurora.
The next morning at breakfast there was a flurry of owls as six owls were carrying a box in Slytherin colours and the Malfoy crest. Draco and Daphne stood up and caught the box before Draco smiled and showed the box to Aurora before watching the young witch open the box to find new books and quills and parchment and notebooks, robes and clothes, shoes, a copy of her bag but it was brand new and then a box of homemade cookies. Aurora saw the note and grabbed it.
Dear Aurora.
I know you said you were fine but we wanted you to have all of this so hopefully you can start to move on from the horrible and traumatic years you've had. You can keep all the stuff you have but we've brought you all this.
See you soon,
Lucius and Narcissa xx
Aurora felt the tears coming to her eyes again and she looked at Draco before he, Daphne and Astoria gathered up the box and managed to get it back to Aurora's dorm and she changed her robes and everything before she headed out to go back to the Great Hall.
However before she could make it there Aurora ran into Pansy and the older witch looked at her.
"So new robes, books and everything? Who in Salazar's name do you think you are getting the Malfoys to spend that kind of money on you?" Pansy asked.
"I didn't ask them to buy me anything Parkinson. I said I was fine with what I had but they decided to buy it all for me anyway," Aurora said, "just leave me alone! I've done nothing wrong."
Pansy looked at Aurora before poking her in the shoulder,
"I am going to find out who you really are…"
"You mean Natalie and Chloe haven't told you?"
"Listen you little wiseacre I am going to find out who you are and then the Malfoys will abandon you for good and then those girls can carry on making your life a misery," Pansy smirked before Aurora looked at her and hurried back off to the dungeons and into the Common Room and ran over to Draco.
"Pansy…threatened me…with…who I am and she'll destroy me and they can hurt me again!" Aurora half cried, half gasped as she was out of breath. Draco just looked at the sister who nodded before he hurried off after Pansy and found her where Aurora had left her.
"What in Merlin's name is your problem with Aurora?" he asked.
"She's a conwitch and is lying about who she is so she can get what she wants," Pansy said.
"She is now a Malfoy and the one thing you never ever do is go after the Malfoys. We have more power than you. You dare make her life even worse than it is now and I swear my father and probably mother will be on you so fast you'll wish you'd kept your mouth firmly closed," Draco warned, "no matter who she is or where she's from she is a Malfoy and you never mess with the Malfoys. I'm watching you Parkinson." He took one look at her before heading back to the dungeon.
He walked into the Common Room and saw Aurora sat reading between the Greengrass sisters before he headed over to you.
"I gave her a stern warning and reminded her that she is messing with the Malfoys and that is one thing she does not want to do," Draco said, "if she does anything you don't like then you must press that token fast." Aurora nodded, knowing she'd full well have to if Pansy got those girls involved.
"We will protect you Aurora," Draco said before holding Aurora close and wrapping his arms around her.
"I know you will Draco. I know you will."
