Hey everyone! Happy Auguest! I'm back with a full round of updates this time. I need to get a wiggle on with planning and writing so I am hoping to get into some sort of pattern with everything now my work hours are going up for the summer. I love writing still and really hope that you enjoy reading them all. I just write for fun but the fact people read it all makes me smile so much so thank you for reading my works.

Lots of love,

Finally Belonging Somewhere-Part 52:

Lucius sighed and went to the window the moment Narcissa had left the room.

"She's confused and her mind is only just on the right side of sanity," Lucius said rounding on his parents, "did you really have to go and tell her that? You have a point about Bellatrix but, again, not the time to mention it. Aurora has only just begun to understand that she is home. She's confused and scared and probably worried that she's going to be taken away again."

He looked out of the window and saw Narcissa appear with the children and he turned away from the window and leant against the wall unsure what to even say. He looked at the Headmaster for advice.

"One thing we know for sure is that Narcissa will turn ultra protective of Aurora and will want her always in her sight," Dumbledore said, "this whole situation is crazy if I'm being honest. Narcissa… Narcissa may need to be assessed again and Aurora will be eventually. The news that Bellatrix could have taken her child away will be a shock to Narcissa. Bellatrix and her were close…"

"That's putting it mildly," Druella said, "sorry."

"Right now the priority has to be Narcissa and Aurora," Lucius said, "Draco is affected and so am I but Draco is older and more mature and I will confront my feelings over this… after Narcissa and Aurora are through the shock," he said before looking out of the window again.

Outside and Aurora was trying to build a snowman but she was failing to. Daphne went over to her and looked.

"Do you need some help Aurora?" she asked and Aurora nodded,

"Yes please Daphne," she replied before the two set about building the snowman.

Draco was lent against the fence and he watched as Astoria went and joined her sister helping Aurora build the snowman before he felt someone come and stand beside him.

"Mother… are you ok?" Draco asked, knowing it could only be his mother beside him.

"Draco you know I am. I'm just in shock," Narcissa said.

"Mother stop lying. You are showing all the signs of madness you showed when she was taken and you know it," Draco said sounding scarily like his father.

"Draco…" Narcissa said as she warned him. That was a dark time in her life and the fact that Draco remembered it made it worse for her to live with.

She turned towards the snowman and couldn't see Aurora and she instantly panicked and went to hurry over but the 11-year-old came back into view. She instantly breathed a sigh of relief before she went over to help so they could get the snowman built quicker.

Eventually the four witches stood back and admired the work they'd done.

"Snowman cannot see or nothing," Aurora said and Narcissa wrapped an arm around Aurora and produced her wand and soon the snowman had arms and a face.

"Is that better my little flower?" Narcissa asked and Aurora instantly nodded and went up to the snowman and patted the snowman.

"That all better now," she smiled before seeing the horses and hurrying over to one of them to stroke them.

"You girls go," Draco said, "horses are not one for me but I will help lift Aurora onto one," he said following them over.

Daphne and Astoria were soon on a horse each and Narcissa had climbed onto the same horse Aurora knew before she had Draco help pass Aurora up and soon three horses were walking around the gardens.

Draco sat on a bench and watched them before standing up as everyone else joined them. He nodded his head in greeting before pointing to where his mother and the three younger witches were.

Lucius looked up and saw Narcissa with their daughter. She had her doll and unicorn teddy with her and she was sat quietly as Narcissa managed to remember the command to get the horse to go a little faster but she kept one arm tightly wrapped around Aurora so she wouldn't fall off.

"We're launching an investigation into Bellatrix," Lucius told his son, "We have reason to believe that it was her who took Aurora from the hospital and if that is the case then there were serious failings as Bellatrix isn't allowed near you mother."

"But why would she want to hurt mother and my innocent little sister?" Draco asked.

"Because she was jealous of your mother," Druella said, "your grandfather and I signed out Narcissa as the golden child… especially with what happened with the blood traitor. We couldn't see it at the time but Bellatrix began to get jealous of your mother. Then you were born and that is probably when the jealousy got worse…"

"Then she got pregnant with your sister and must have decided that enough was enough and decided the moment your sister was born to take her and make your mother suffer," Cygnus said, "if we'd realized this then your mother would have had better protection in that hospital and the baby… Aurora would have never been allowed to leave the room your mother was in."

"The pieces all fit but grandfather Abraxas is going to look into every possibility he can using his Ministry contacts but, until evidence says otherwise, Bellatrix is the number one suspect."

Draco sighed as he processed this new information.

"Life has just got complicated hasn't it father?"

"Yes it has son. I'm afraid it has."
