Hey y'all something a bit different coming up here from now on (yes that is a Greatest Showman reference) in that my WW fics will be updated once a week now as AO3 has caught up with Hidden Child as well. So I decided to update all three on here weekly now as well. Big thanks to everyone reading this still.

Lots of love,

Finally Belonging Somewhere-Part 20:

Aurora had shut herself off to everyone including Charlotte after learning that her so-called best friend knew but didn't tell her. She had even stopped sending Estella to Malfoy Manor. She had completely closed off and then she kept disappearing and nobody was able to find her.

Draco was worried because, according to Astoria and Charlotte, Aurora's bed remained undisturbed some nights and nobody heard her come back in at all some nights. It was like she didn't want to be around anyone.

"I wonder where she's going," Draco mused out loud, "the only time she's ever seen is lessons and then she disappears."

"What's your mother saying?" Astoria asked.

"She's worried. She hasn't heard from her either," Draco said, "she's got the mirror on her but she's even ignoring that as well despite the fact mother had nothing to do with it."

"Well where is she going? She's either coming down after we eat or she's not eating at all," Daphne said worried, "your mother finished her healer training didn't she Draco?"

"Yes she did luckily and Healer Jones as said that mother can heal minor incidents," Draco told them, "but we need to find her and pin her down and then summon mother."

"We have to be able to find her first and she's making that impossible because she's not returned to the Common Room in days," Astoria said, resting a hand on Draco's shoulder as the wizard sighed, "we will find her Draco. She'll make herself known to us and then we can sort this out."

Malfoy Manor-Aurora's almost finished bedroom:

Narcissa was sat in Aurora's almost finished bedroom looking out of the window at the peacocks. She'd never gone this long without talking to her little flower and it was honestly killing her. She could understand that Aurora was hurt and upset by everything but she had also learnt that Draco had admitted that Narcissa had wanted to tell her but still she didn't want to talk to Narcissa. That worried the matriarch, especially after her son's latest letter saying that Aurora wasn't even at mealtimes, and that she wasn't returning to the dungeons at night.

The one thing Narcissa had learnt about Hogwarts was that it was massive as she and Lucius had often snuck away to be in each other's company before he'd left Hogwarts and they'd been paired off to restore the Black Family honour and increase the Malfoys position in society. She'd gradually fallen in love with him, despite them being friends at Hogwarts. It was partly them being friends that had made their parents matched them together and the rest was history. They'd had trouble conceiving and then Draco had come along and when Draco had been a year old they'd decided to try again but it took just under 3 tears before their second baby had been born and cruelly taken away from them moments after birth. Yes Aurora was easing the pain slightly but Narcissa wanted to hold their child and make up for all the lost memories that they'd lost.

"Cissa…?" It was Lucius who'd spent the best part of 10 minutes looking for her, "I should have known you'd be in here."

"There's still no news Lucius. It's been almost a week," Narcissa said softly, "what if we've lost her too?"

Lucius saw the worry in his wife's eyes and went over and held her hands,

"We haven't lost her. She's just doing the only thing she knows to cope with something like this. Shut herself away," he said softly.

"That Potter boy has a map according to Severus that tells the viewer where everyone is in the Castle. I know we hate him but we need to find Aurora and he may be the only one who can find her. Please write to Draco and ask him to ask that Potter boy."

"As long as you come and get something to eat Flower," Lucius said and Narcissa nodded and let him lead her downstairs.

Hogwarts:

Draco received a letter from his father the next day and he waited in the shadows before seeing Harry coming and pulled him into the shadows and away from the crowds.

"What are you doing Malfoy?!" Harry instantly said.

"Shut up Potter and listen," Draco hissed, "Aurora keeps disappearing and mother is worried about her, extremely worried about her. I know about that map of yours."

"How…?"

"Snape's my godfather," Draco said, "anyway look for Aurora Edwards or Malfoy I'm not sure what that map of yours will have her as and as soon as you know where she's going get a message to me."

"And if I don't?"

"Then you will be responsible if anything happens to her," Draco said, "find her and get a message to me and tell nobody. Or else," he warned before walking away.

Draco had told Astoria about Harry and his map and how he was going to use it to find Aurora. It was risky putting his faith in Harry Potter helping him to find Aurora but it was that or the young witch kept cutting herself off from everyone and not giving them a chance to explain why they'd chosen to keep it a secret from her. It did hurt Draco that Aurora was shutting his mother out but once she managed to explain to Aurora the reasons then maybe the 11-year-old would be able to see why everyone hadn't told her.

It was a couple of days after when Harry finally managed to make a breakthrough as he saw Aurora on the Forth Floor and then she disappeared. He asked Hermione about it and then she told him about the Room of Requirement and that he needed to get an enchanted message to someone. Of course this meant he had to reveal everything but, although she wasn't happy about it, Hermione enchanted the message after Harry had written it before sending it down to the dungeons.

Draco was sat in the Prefects' area of the Common Room when the note had arrived. He quickly scribbled a note to his mother before hurrying over to Astoria,

"Send this note with Estella. Tell her to fly to Mistress Narcissa; she's faster than my Eros. I've written for her to bring Estella back," he said, "I'm heading to the Room of Requirement. No wonder why we haven't seen her. She can wish for anything in there. As soon as my parents arrive bring them to me. Just think of me and Aurora and it'll let you in," Draco said before giving her the letter and hurrying off to find Aurora. Astoria jumped to her feet and hurried off to send the letter to Narcissa as fast as she could.

Draco had hurried to the Forth Floor and looked at the wall before thinking about Aurora and then he opened his eyes and he saw a door in front of him and then he opened the door and walked in.

He then looked around and he then knew that Aurora had been in the room and he had the feeling she was in the room still because everything was as it would be if someone was still in the room. What he didn't know was that Aurora was hidden in the shadows shaking thinking she was now in trouble…
