Finally Belonging Somewhere-Part 47:
Nobody could say a word and Narcissa wrapped her arms tighter around Aurora as she moved away from everyone else. She was suddenly closing off to everyone and encased herself and her daughter in a protective bubble. She was not wanting anyone near her daughter. She knew that she should have let Lucius in but the fear that someone was going to take Aurora away again was driving Narcissa to keep her daughter close.
Everyone watched from outside of the bubble and Abraxas was struggling to hold Lucius back.
"Son leave her be for now," he said, "right now she's scared of losing her daughter again."
"I lost a daughter too! Draco lost a sister!" Lucius said as he rounded on his father before he looked at his mother, who's hand was resting on his arm.
"She won't let you near her if you're angry Lucius," Priscilla said, "you need to be calm. Just go slowly into the bubble and let her feel in control of the situation," she said before watching as Lucius calmed down before he headed towards the bubble and passed through the shield.
He watched as Narcissa jumped up and balanced Aurora on her hip and had her wand up and ready to attack.
"Cissa," he said putting his hands in the air, "I'm not here to take her away from you. It's me Luc…" he said before watching.
"Nobody is coming near her except me. I am her mother and I have to protect her. She's my daughter and I will not have her taken away from me ever again."
Lucius took a step closer and he looked at her,
"When our baby was taken I lost a daughter too. That little girl in your arms is Aurora Rosalie Malfoy… our precious little girl who we both lost the day she was born. You need to let me in Cissa. She needs us both and you need me." He watched as Narcissa sighed and nodded and he went over and knelt down beside Narcissa as she sat down on the floor and finally let him see their daughter once more.
Draco was watching outside of the bubble and he looked at his parents with his sister but found that he was rooted to the spot. He turned and saw that Druella had a firm grip on his shoulder.
"I want to see my sister," he said.
"Your sister is going to be very confused and may be in shock when she does come around so it would be an idea not to crowd her," Druella said, "I know you want to see her Draco but right now your mother and father need to revive her and then see if she remembers what she saw and then Healer Jones will have to have a look at her as well." Draco sighed and conceded defeat.
"I'm sorry I held my wand up at you," Narcissa said, "my mind…"
"Went into fierce protective mode," Lucius said, as he had his hand on Aurora's forehead, "I understand. We've just found our daughter and the last time we had her she was taken away from us," he said before muttering spells.
Narcissa watched on, tears still falling before she kissed Aurora's head and then a sound she wondered if she'd hear again: Aurora whimpering as she came around. The mother looked at her husband and both breathed a sigh of relief as Aurora's eyes opened. The girl looked around, scared and confused about where she was.
"Aurora do you remember anything you saw or heard before you passed out?" Narcissa asked as she stroked her daughter's cheek, focussing her daughter's eyes on her.
Aurora began to nod before she shook her head and then cried some more. Lucius summoned Healer Jones and Narcissa knelt on her knees and stood Aurora on her feet so the Healer could look at her properly. They needed to know the effects that this had had on Aurora, even if she was unable to understand the situation herself.
Silence fell on the chamber as everyone watched and waited to hear what the Healer had found out about Aurora.
"Miss Aurora is in shock and her body is unstable. It will take her a few days to understand what has happened today," the Healer said feeling all eyes on her, "when she does she will need all the love and support and answers so I suggest you finding out what you can before that time. I will notify the Minister of Magic," Healer Jones said before leaving.
Silence once again fell on the chamber before the Head Goblin said everything else could wait for a few days and that the family were free to go. Lucius and Narcissa held Aurora between them as Lucius apparated them back to the Manor. Abraxas took Draco with him and the rest soon appeared in the apparation point of the Manor.
Lucius ordered refreshments and light snacks as nobody would feel up to eating much. He also knew that everyone would want alcohol but he refused whilst Aurora was awake.
That didn't last long, however, as the girl soon fell asleep and Narcissa put her to bed with Dilly and Rosie on watch and lots of charms on the girl's bedroom.
"I'm sorry I was so hard on her when I first met her," Druella said as soon as Narcissa had sat down again. Draco had been permitted to stay.
"Mother she likes you now and she will learn to love everyone like she does myself, Lucius, Draco and the Greengrass sisters," Narcissa said.
"What we need to focus on now is what this will do to Aurora…"
"Draco…" Lucius said, warning his son.
"No father. With all due respect you know her life here, not at school. She's already treated differently and now being named as the missing Malfoy child…? This will have a dramatic affect on how people see her at school," Draco said, "especially once Pansy and those girls from the orphanage find out who they've been bullying all these years."
"They will have to be dealt with more than they have been before," Druella said, "she is a Black and a Malfoy and we are two of the Noblest Houses there are in our world."
"Druella none of this will really help Aurora deal with the fact that she's come home after so long of being unloved," Lucius said as he looked around the room, "yes nothing will change much in some ways but she is a Malfoy and that will change everything, especially when she goes back to Hogwarts. We wait a few days and then get Rita Skeeter to come and talk to us and then we can announce it that way. Mother, Father, Druella and Cygnus. You will remain here with us and help in any way you can but I want to hold off on anything until Dumbledore has paid us another visit and the Greengrasses have been updated seeing as Draco and Astoria are to be married. Bedtime for now before everything changes around here. The missing baby is home at last. Our daughter is home at last."
