Finally Belonging Somewhere-Part 11:

Malfoy Manor-Narcissa's Study:

Narcissa was sat in her study sorting out stuff from the Ball when Lucius suddenly appeared in the fireplace.

"Lucius?" Narcissa questioned, "what's happened?"

"Hogwarts now," came the reply and Lucius stepped out of the fire and threw some fresh Floo Powder and waited for Narcissa to join him before they stepped in, "Hogwarts!" he shouted and soon they were at Hogwarts and in Dumbledore's study.

Hogwarts:

"What the hell happened? Why didn't anyone stop that girl. In fact what is being done about those girls full stop?" Lucius asked, "all term they have been after Aurora and out to get her; even hurting her and what have you done? Nothing!"

He snatched something out of the Headmaster's hand and passed it to Narcissa and had been about to say something when a gasp escaped his wife's lips.

"Lucius…this is Aurora's true file…" she said, "we've been lied to…"

"That's popost…" he said before looking at the file, "why in Merlin's name was this kept from us? Where is our daughter?!" Narcissa had heard but she didn't correct him,

"Where is Aurora? Severus said she's been missing all day…"

"We don't know Lucius…" Dumbledore said.

"What do you mean you don't know?! She's a vulnerable 11-year-old in the same school as the people that have put her in St. Mungo's more than we were led to believe," Lucius said, "we want her found and brought here now!"

Aurora had cried herself to sleep and had somehow locked herself in her dorm and was completely unaware as she was asleep and holding onto her mirror. She had missed the whole day of school and it was only when Charlotte had tried to get into the dorm did they realise where Aurora was. McGonagall had to unlock the door before Astoria went over to Aurora and began to wake her up.

"Lucius and Narcissa are here," Astoria said, "you somehow managed to lock yourself in here all day. Come on darling. They want to see you. Professor Snape will take us up there," she said before watching as Aurora sat up and woke up.

"Why was this kept from us?" Narcissa asked Dumbledore, "why is Aurora's file kept here and replaced with a false one. I mean everything matches but the amount of times she's been to St. Mungo's is considerably more in her real file Albus. She has been failed by the system and failed by you now."

"Narcissa the files being swapped has nothing to do with me and, as for those girls, something can now be done about them because all four Heads of House heard them threaten Aurora," Albus said.

"In front of the whole school Albus. She's already having to adjust to the life she's been thrust into and now this? She needs a clean break and that would mean withdrawing her from Hogwarts but there is no way I'm going to mess her education up because you can't discipline a pair of girls. Miss Parkinson deserves to lose her Prefects' badge for this."

"Yes I will be speaking to the Governors about this and recommending the older Greengrass sister in her place," Lucius said before the door opened and Snape walked in with the Greengrass sisters, Draco and then finally…

"Aurora!" Narcissa said softly before walking over to the young witch and stroking her cheek, "it's going to be OK. Lucius and I will fix this and make sure those girls are punished for what they have done." Aurora just nodded before going and sitting down on Astoria's lap and being passed some Honeyduke's chocolate and she began to eat it. Draco sat on the arm of the chair Astoria and Aurora were sat in causing Narcissa to smile softly.

"Mother I tried to stop them," Draco said, "so did all the Prefects. I told them at the last meeting because of everything going on with those two girls."

"It's true Mrs. Malfoy. The only one who didn't was Pansy but I think she knows one of those girls somehow," Daphne said, "I've just got this feeling."

"Well I will be recommending Pansy's removal as a Prefect and you to take her place Daphne," Lucius said, "I don't know why you were overlooked in the first place."

"Thank you Mr. Malfoy," Daphne said, "I won't let you down."

"She's far too thin for my liking. I wish to get permission to take Aurora to St. Mungo's and get her properly checked out by the family healer and a plan put in place so we can help her get better," Narcissa said, "Because there is a lot of damage that needs to be undone."

"You've already had her looked at by a healer," Dumbledore pointed out.

"That may be so but our family Healer would be better because they are tied to the family and can help us draw up a plan for her here and at the Manor," Lucius said, "we have to do what's best for Aurora."

Aurora sat there eating her chocolate, unaware of everything that was being said. The chocolate tasted so good that she just ate it and drifted out of the conversation and headed into her own little bubble. She was calm and settled and Narcissa looked at Aurora and sighed before going up to the girl.

"Aurora…" she spoke softly and watched before Aurora looked at her.

"Yes Narcissa?" Aurora asked.

"I want to take you next week to St. Mungo's so we can get you properly looked at and draw up a plan to help you get back to health," Narcissa said softly, "I also want to extract some memories so we can see what you've been through so we can help you properly."

"Me go to the hospital?" Aurora asked.

"Yes so we can help you," Narcissa replied softly.

"No!" Aurora said getting up and trying to walk away before Narcissa gently grabbed her arm and caused the witch to scream and fight and try and pull herself away, "get off me! Please don't hurt me! I didn't do anything!"

Aurora finally managed to get free of Narcissa and hurried over to a corner and sat in it shaking and Narcissa's heart broke and she hurried over to Aurora.

"Nobody is going to hurt you Aurora," Narcissa said actually kneeing down by Aurora and looking at her, "you're safe. I didn't mean to upset you like that. I was just trying to stop you going and falling into the clutches of those girls because I…care about you and want you to feel safe with me and Lucius and Draco. That's why we want to have you properly looked at so we can help you cope with what's happened. We don't want to hurt you Aurora. I promise you that," she said.

Draco was being held back by Lucius. This was one that Narcissa had to handle and he knew it. Narcissa was the one who had to gain Aurora's trust first before she would trust himself and Draco. He watched before breathing a sigh of relief as Aurora slipped a shaking hand into Narcissa's and the two emerged from the corner and Narcissa sat down with Aurora on her lap and rested her head on his wife's shoulder. Clearly Aurora was more affected by everything and it was going to be a bump road but Lucius and Narcissa now knew the extent of Aurora's suffering. Lucius was going to make sure that Aurora got justice for the years of suffering she had endured, no matter what he had to do to get it.
