"They're not going in the direction of the bedrooms," Andromeda said to her sister. The two women peeked around the corner and watched Draco and Gilderoy stride down the hall. Draco was pulling his lover along, heading straight toward Lucius' study.
"Come on," Narcissa whispered as she watched them disappear through the door.
They used to do this when they were children. Narcissa and Andromeda were closer in age to each other than they were to Bellatrix, so they played really well together. Some nights when it was too cold or rainy to go outside to play, they used to Explore the house, looking for puzzles, calling themselves "The Mystery Girls."
Andromeda smiled as she let her sister lead them down the hall. She cast a silencing charm on Teddy and motioned for him to follow them.
When they arrived at Lucius' study, Andromeda peeked around the corner to see what her son was doing inside.
He lifted the Gingerbread house off the sideboard and set it on his desk, earning him a pretty nasty look from Hansel as Gretel dusted the confectioner's sugar off her gumdrop dress. "I don't know why we have this thing here, anyway. Holiday tradition or not, we all know those two muggle children will have their memories modified and be sent back into society to become a shoemaker and a poor girl who thinks she used to be a mermaid."
Gilderoy helped the witch find her hat, put it back on her head, and then looked to see what Draco was doing. "Is my present in there?" he asked as draco moved a painting, revealing a small opening in the wall.
"It is."
Narcissa turned around and gasped, staring at her sister.
'What?' Andromeda mouthed out.
'The bracelets!' Narcissa replied silently.
'No! Really?' Both women were smiling and had exaggerated looks of shock on their faces.
They didn't even notice when Teddy marched right into the room.
