Action Scene: The Malfoy Dinner

Everything was set to perfection. The fine china was set out, the house elves were dressed in fancy clothes, and Narcissa waited patiently in the living room for her guests to arrive.

	Narcissa touched Andromeda's shoulder lightly. "You should attend them more often in the future," she murmured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Andromeda smiled. "I'd like that." She hoped that their families would be close again. "I don't have much at home, but your family is always welcome to visit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Narcissa glanced at Lucius before murmuring to her sister so he couldn't hear. "Perhaps Draco and I. Lucius prefers the finer things in life." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Andromeda hid her wince and recovered. "Of course," she murmured. "I remember how he is." That was part of her reason behind leaving Lucius. She smoothed out invisible wrinkles on her dress robes and folded her hands in her lap, staring at her empty plate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He is not an evil monster, Andi," she murmured. "Despite what you may think of him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know," she replied. "We just...we weren't a good fit together." Andromeda glanced down at her hands and wrung them together. "He is welcome, all the same." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Narcissa nodded jerkily, unsure of what to say. If it wasn't for Andi's betrayal, she would have never married Lucius and had Draco. For all she knew, her mother had an ugly, poor pureblood arranged for her.

"Thank you." She stared at her salad for a moment. "Lucius and I...it wasn't like you and your husband. It'll never be that way," she said so softly she wasn't sure if Andi could hear her. It was a hard thing to admit, even in an arranged marriage.

	Andromeda placed a hand on Narcissa's shoulder. It was good to know that something good came of her betrayal. "Ted was...he was a wonderful man. I really wish you had the chance to meet him before he died." Even though he was muggleborn, he was very talented and a right charmer. Narcissa would have liked him, at least a little.

	Narcissa smiled at Andromeda. "Perhaps. He and I would have had nothing in common, except for you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesaneblack 2007-09-29 04:45 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda frowned. How had Cissy and Lucius' marriage lasted so long if the only thing they had in common was her? "I find that hard to believe." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-09-29 04:51 am UTC (link)
	Narcissa shrugged a shoulder. "I think it would be true. He grew up in the Muggle world, did he not? Something lower class? You obviously found something you could relate to with him, but I do not think I could have." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesaneblack 2007-09-29 05:06 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda covered up her wince with a strained smile. "Yes, Ted was muggleborn, but he was very intelligent and that's what I found attractive." Money and blood status had no standing with her, it was all about what lay beneath the surface. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-09-29 05:11 am UTC (link)
	Narcissa nodded. "That is good. At least he never looked like Crabbe or Goyle seniors. Just imagine what your daughter and grandson would look like." She lifted her wine glass and took a sip. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesaneblack 2007-09-29 05:14 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda remembered Crabbe and Goyle from her school days and shuddered. "Thank you for the lovely images, Cissy. I think I'll go obliviate myself now." Wait, did Cissy just say senior? "Those two brutes actually have children?" she asked, trying her best to contain her laughter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-09-29 05:20 am UTC (link)
	Narcissa allowed herself a chuckle. "They do. Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, though Vincent recently passed away at the Battle of Hogwarts." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesaneblack 2007-09-29 05:23 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sorry to hear that," Andromeda said sincerely. Although she never got along with the boys at Hogwarts, it was depressing to hear that Crabbe's son had passed away in the battle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-09-29 05:29 am UTC (link)
	"It was no real loss," she said with another shrug. "We were never all that close to the Crabbes and they were a disgrace." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesaneblack 2007-09-29 05:33 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda nodded. They weren't the best wizarding family in Britain. "Oh, Merlin, I remember back when Goyle had that crush on me in my fourth year." Why ws she recalling that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-09-29 05:34 am UTC (link)
	Narcissa raised an eyebrow. "I never knew this. Do tell." This was good, getting to know her older sister again. With Bella gone, she only had Andi. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesaneblack 2007-09-29 05:42 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda laughed. "Around the time of the Halloween feast, I was receiving mysterious owls bearing gifts. It continued until my mysterious admirer revealed himself on my birthday. And I do mean reveal in all sense of the word." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-09-29 05:43 am UTC (link)
	Narcissa gasped and then shuddered, not wanting to imagine Crabbe senior in such a way. "How...well. I am certainly glad it was you and not me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesaneblack 2007-09-29 05:55 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda nodded and picked at her salad. "Yes, it was quite a shock. If we were to encounter each other now, I don't think I could keep a straight face." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-09-29 05:59 am UTC (link)
	"Understandable." Narcissa took a sip of her wine, not tasting the excellent flavor. There were many stories she wanted to tell her sister, but none were right at that moment or perhaps ever. "How was it like raising your daughter?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Nymphadora was a little tomby when she was young," Andromeda said, dabbing the corner of her mouth delicately with her napkin. "She was always roughhousing with Ted or out climbing trees and getting stuck in them. Then she became a moody teenager, especially after she broke up with her first boyfriend." That was something she didn't want to relive in her lifetime. After Charlie Weasley dumped Dora, she had been a mess. "What was Draco like as a boy?"

	Narcissa glanced to the end of the table to where Draco was talking with Tonks. "A precocious and adorable boy. He still has his stuffed dragon that Severus gave him for his first birthday and he was always getting into things far too advanced for his age. I've always worried about him, but he turned out as strong as his father." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
