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.

	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)

	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)

	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)

	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)

	"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)

	"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)

	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)

	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)

"That's wonderful to hear," Andromeda said sincerely. "I'm not too sure about Dora. She's always been a high spirited girl, but she hasn't been the same since she came back from the Battle of Hogwarts." She glared at her daughter, who had changed her hair bright blue. "This is the happiest I've seen her since the battle. She spends most of her time moping about the house and crying. When she's not doing that, she and Remus are fighting."

	Narcissa glanced to the husband in question. Another person she shouldn't have allowed to her dinner party. "At least your daughter and my son are getting along splendidly. I had high hopes for that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesaneblack 2007-09-29 06:21 am UTC (link)
	"I'm glad they're taking the time to bond," Andromeda added. It was good to see her daughter laughing and smiling. Maybe this was what she needed. "I wonder if they would have been friends if we stayed in contact all these years." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-09-29 06:24 am UTC (link)
	"Perhaps, perhaps not. All that matters now is that they are bonding, and so are we." Narcissa smiled at Andromeda. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesaneblack 2007-09-29 06:29 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda nodded. "It's good to get to know you again, Cissy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-09-29 06:33 am UTC (link)
	"As well as you, Andi. We must do this again sometime. With or without the children. Perhaps not a dinner party though," she murmured. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesaneblack 2007-09-29 06:36 am UTC (link)
	"Agreed." Or, if a dinner party was held, keep the guest list to family members only. "Perhaps we could do some shopping and have lunch in Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade sometime soon." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-09-29 06:56 am UTC (link)
	"That would be lovely. I do adore a shopping trip or four." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesaneblack 2007-09-29 06:58 am UTC (link)
	Andromeda laughed. "I do, as well. I hope you don't mind if Teddy accompanies us on some of these trips." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-09-29 06:59 am UTC (link)
	Narcissa shook her head. "Of course not. He would be a joy to have with us." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thesaneblack 2007-09-29 07:01 am UTC (link)
	"That's wonderful. With Dora the way she's been and Remus going off on his own, I'm all he has at the moment." She hoped that Cissy wouldn't take this to mean that their situation was bad. It was just...slightly chaotic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
