Chapter Four

After the garden, me and Narcissa went back inside. Right now, she was showing me to my room.

"Heres your room, mine is right across the hall if you need anything. Dracos is a little bit farther down the hall and Lucius's is across the Manor. I'll leave you be here so you can unpack and get settled in. I'll send Indie to fetch you once dinner is ready." She says with a smile before walking away.

'Why do they have separate room? I'll have to ask Draco about it later.'

I shrug it off and head into my room. I shut the door behind me while looking around the room. It's, of course, black, it has a mini, but still huge, chandelier. There's a giant queen size bed with two bedside tables on either side. There's a window, with a perfect view of the garden, and two dark green chairs in front of the window. There was a table in between the chairs as well. There was a wardrobe for me to put my clothes inside. I walk over to my bed and run my hand over the sheets.

'Oh my god. It's fucking silk? That's like, hella expensive.'

I knew the Malfoys were rich but this is a whole new level. I let a sigh before looking around the room again. I saw another door in the room so I go towards it. I open it and reveal my own personal bathroom. I step inside and see that it also has a mini chandelier. It had a double sink with marble countertops. I saw many unused, expensive hair and skin products. There was a giant shower with a separate bathtub on the other side of the room. The faucet looked to be a serpent with dark green eyes.

I finished looking around the bathroom and go back into the bedroom. I go over to my trunk and open it up. I start taking out my clothes and placing them in the wardrobe. I was halfway through unpacking when I heard a knock at my door.

"Come in!" The door opens and Indie comes in.

"Master Narcissa has told me to inform you when dinner is ready." I smile and nod at her.

"I'll be out in a minute." Indie smiles and nods before turning and leaving, shutting my door behind her. I close my trunk, but don't lock it, and go over to the body mirror in the room. I straighten up my hair and sweater dress and nod to myself.

'It's only dinner. No need to panic.'

I let out a deep breath before walking over to the door. I reach for the doorknob and open the door. I step out into the hallway and close the door behind me before walking over to the stairs.

Once I had arrived in the dining room, I saw that everyone was already seated.

"Sorry I took so long, I was unpacking." I say, hoping they weren't to mad I made them wait for their food.

"Oh, that's fine, dear. Just come sit so we can eat." Narcissa says with a warm smile that brought butterflies to my stomach everytime. I nod and sit across from Draco while Narcissa and Lucius sit on either end of the very long dinner table.

'Why do they need this big of a table for only three people? And this many chairs?'

I shrug it off and just watch as my plate gets filled with food. There was steak, broccoli, potatoes, and a dinner roll. My stomach growled as I smelled the delicious food. I quickly, yet formally-ish, dug into my food.

"Draco told me that steak was your favorite so I had the house elves make it." Narcissa says before sending me a wink, that was only I saw, making me blush slightly.

'What is this woman doing to me?'

"Thank you, Narcissa. That's too kind." She chuckles but doesn't say anything else. 

~~

Dinner wasn't to bad. Lucius kept asking me questions about my family, something called 'The Order', I had no idea what that was, and what I thought of someone's blood status. Narcissa just asked me normal questions like what my favorite color was, favorite class, you know, normal things like that.

Here I sit, in Draco's room, talking.

"Hey, Draco? Can I ask you something?"

"Sure. Whatcha need?"

"How come your parents don't share the same room?" He let's out a sigh before answering.

"My parents marriage was arranged by their parents. They both come from wealthy pure-blood families so their parents arranged their marriage so they can make a heir. Me. They both hate each others guts, but they can't get divorced. So you see?" He explains.

"Yeah, I get it. I'm sorry about that Draco."

"Nah, you're fine." He says with a kind smile.

'At least his parents acknowledge that you exist. Mine don't even look at me anymore.'

I let a quiet sigh and lean back in my chair by the window. Draco's window had a view of his front yard and the pathway. The sky was black with stars everywhere. The moon shown brightly in the sky, making it possible to see everything in the yard. There were only a few trees littering it. After a while, I let out a fake yawn.

"I'm gonna go to bed now, Draco. I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?" Draco turns to me and sends me a small smile and a nod. I send a smile back before exiting his room and walking over to mine. I enter my room walk over to my trunk on my bed. I open it up to see that it's empty with a note in it.

I had Indie finish packing for you.

-Narcissa

I smile slightly at her fancy handwriting.

'Why is she being so nice to me?"

I shrug away the thought and close my trunk. I bring it over to the wardrobe and set it down in front of it. I open the doors to the wardrobe and grab my pajamas, which are some that I got from Hogsmead. They were nothing special, just a black button up long sleeve pajama shirt and some matching black pajama pants. I go into my bathroom and set my clothes down on the sink counter and went over and started the shower. I undress as the water warms up and step into the shower box thing. I close the "door" and step under the water.

~~

I have to say, the hair and skin products felt AMAZING. My hair has never been so smooth, soft, or shiny. And don't get me started on my skin. My skin was so soft and lively.

I was brushing my teeth right now, getting ready for bed. After I finish that, I go into my room and grab a book and go over and sit on one of the chairs in front of the window. I open the book, and was about to start reading, when I spotted Narcissa sitting on the bench in her garden.

'I mean, I'm not tired yet. And I guess I'm up for a chat.'

I shut my book and stand up, walking over to my door. I quickly and quietly rush out of my room, down the steps, and out into the garden.

"Narcissa?" I ask, when I get to the garden. She turns around and smiles when she sees me.

"Y/N dear, what are you doing up?"

"I could ask you the same thing. I couldn't sleep." She let's out a laugh before nodding.

"I am having the same problem. Come sit, we can chat. I enjoy your company." I smile and nod while walking over to her. She was in her pajamas, just like me. Her pajamas were a black, silk, nightdress. Her hair was let down, showing no blonde hair. She had no make up on, showing her natural beauty. Her lips were still plump, just her natural pink color. Her eyelashes were a little bit thinner but still long.

'Merlin, this woman is gorgeous.'

I sit down next to her, trying not to look at her, knowing that if I did, I'd get lost in her eyes.

"So, what's keeping you awake then?" She breaks the silence. I shrug.

"Just not tired, I guess. You?" I say, looking at her now, proving my theory to be true, getting lost in her eyes. It wasn't until she responded that I snapped into reality.

"Same here. Have you been enjoying your stay here?" I cleared my throat and looked down before responding.

"I have. I must say, you have a lovely home, and you are a lovely hostess." I look back up at her to see her cheeks tinted a very slight shade of pink. It's very difficult to see, but seeing as though I am sitting right next to her, i was able to.

"Well, you are a lovely guest to have." I feel myself blush a little bit, so I look down at the ground. I hear her giggle slightly.

"Did I make you flustered, little one?" I felt butterflies erupt at the nickname she gave me.

"Maybe." I say, looking up, and with a small smirk. She clicks her tounge, shakes her head, and looks away with a smile. I let out a quiet chuckle before looking to the front again. We sit in comfortable silence for a while until I feel her looking at me. I turn my head to look at her back. She smiles at me and I smile back.

"You are a very beautiful girl, Y/N." I blush slightly and let out an airy snort type thing.

"You are a very gorgeous woman, Narcissa." I say back. She cocks and eyebrow but smiles nonetheless. We stare into each others eyes for a moment before I see hers flicker down to my lips for a split second, me, unintentionally, doing the same. We both start leaning in, very slowly, until we hear a voice.

"Y/N? Mother? Are you out here?" We both quickly pull away and stand up.

'Oh my god. Did I just nearly kiss Narcissa Malfoy?'
