Action Scene: Chatting and Shopping

Narcissa sat at a table outside Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor, waiting patiently for Harry.

Harry bit his lip as he adjusted his new work robes once more. Snape had made it a point to comment on his horrible attire and he had taken it to heart. Well, to something anyway.

He flooed into the Leaky Cauldron and walked into Diagon Alley. It wasn't as crowed as Harry was used to and he couldn't fathom why it surprised him. He leisurely made his way towards Fortescue's and was surprised to see Narcissa sitting at a table outside.

Fixing a smile onto his face, he moved into her line of sight. "Hello, again, Narcissa." Damn, how awkward had that come out. Not too awkward he hoped.

	Narcissa looked up and smiled at Harry, gesturing. "Greetings, Harry. Please sit down. How are you doing today?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good," Harry answered with a small smile. He sat. "And yourself?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Doing wonderful. I've been so busy lately with business and Pansy." Narcissa motioned for a server to the table. "Long story short, the Ministry brought false charges against Miss Parkinson and she is staying at our home while they settle everything. Order whatever you wish. My treat."

	"What could they charge her with? She ran?" Harry blurted out, before he could help himself. He flushed and looked towards the entrance to the ice cream parlor. "Sorry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They are calling her a Death Eater who fought for the Dark Lord during the Battle of Hogwarts." She raised an eyebrow. "I understand you do not care for Slytherins other than Severus, but she is innocent of that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-10-26 01:41 am UTC (link)
	Harry offered her a sheepish grin. "I know. I don't understand what evidence they could have possibly had on her." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-10-26 01:46 am UTC (link)
	"Apparently being a Slytherin was enough for them." Narcissa sighed. "If it is one thing I've learned from the war, Harry, it is that family is everything, and Pansy is family. I could not leave her there." The server came to the table and handed them menus. Narcissa quickly scanned it. "I'll have a scoop of chocolate mint." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-10-26 01:55 am UTC (link)
	"Plain chocolate," Harry murmured, not really looking at the server. He couldn't figure out why this news bothered him as much as it did. "How is she then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-10-26 02:07 am UTC (link)
	"She's doing well. Her and Draco are plotting something or other. It keeps them busy." She chuckled. "I think she wanted to have you promoting our Malfoy foundation with Draco, but I am sure she was just egging Draco on since he volunteered her." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-10-26 02:09 am UTC (link)
	Harry couldn't think of an appropriate response to that. "And how is Draco?" he asked awkwardly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-10-26 02:15 am UTC (link)
	Narcissa shrugged a shoulder. "He is fine. He made up with his godfather, but I think it is still a sore issue between them. Or at least on Draco's end." She glanced at Harry. "So how are things between you and Severus?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-10-26 02:16 am UTC (link)
	Harry couldn't stop the flush from traveling up his neck and staining his cheeks. "They're good," he wheezed, mentally urging on the server to bring back the ice cream faster. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-10-26 02:22 am UTC (link)
	Narcissa grinned and leaned forward. "You blush so sweetly, Harry. Severus must enjoy that about you. I am glad you are there for him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-10-26 02:28 am UTC (link)
	Harry bit his lip and shook his head. "I'm not really doing anything but being underfoot," he admitted. "It's not the greatest of arrangements, but it works." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-10-26 03:12 am UTC (link)
	"Oh yes, he tutors you, doesn't he?" The server returned with their ice creams and Narcissa thanked him. "On Potions, I assume?" She glanced at Harry and chuckled. "Or something a little more?" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dh_harry 2007-10-26 03:16 am UTC (link)
	"Why does it surprise me every time you say something like that?" Harry groaned through his laughter. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-10-26 03:25 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know. Should it surprise you?" She reached over to pat his hand. "All kidding aside, thank you. I hope it does not bother you that I consider you somewhat of a family member, you being with Severus and all. If you are in need of anything, please let me know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-10-26 03:28 am UTC (link)
	Harry's eyes widened, spoon of chocolate ice cream dangling from his mouth as he swallowed in shock. No one outside the Weasley's had ever admitted to that before. He wasn't even sure if Narcissa meant it. He tried to cover his surprise by pulling out the spoon and setting it in his dish. "Oh," he exhaled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-10-26 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Narcissa lifted a spoon to her mouth, taking a bite of her chocolate mint ice cream. "I suppose you would not like me to consider you as such since I am a Malfoy, but it is nevertheless true on my end. You saved my son and you make Severus happy. How could I not look upon you as one of my own?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-10-26 03:35 am UTC (link)
	"No it wasn't that," Harry hurried to assure. He tried to smile. "It's just a surprise, again, that's all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-10-26 03:40 am UTC (link)
	Narcissa nodded, leaning back against her chair. "Ah. I hope a good surprise, at least." She shrugged a shoulder. "If you do not care for the statement, I can forget that I ever said it. There is Andi, after all. I have her and her family. In fact, we plan on shopping later today in Muggle London." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-10-26 03:42 am UTC (link)
	"Muggle London?" Damn why did his mouth have to run like that? He mentally sighed, but didn't retract the statement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-10-26 03:47 am UTC (link)
	"Yes. The high end shops on Oxford Street have wizarding sections within them. Many times you can only find the best fashion in those shops than Diagon Alley. Have you never gone?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dh_harry 2007-10-27 12:35 am UTC (link)
	"I've never had the time to go clothes shopping," Harry admitted, tugging self-consciously on his new robes. "Until recently at any rate." (Reply to this) (Parent)

Narcissa's gaze followed Harry's fingers and smiled gently. "You look magnificent, Harry. Excellent taste. If I hadn't planned a trip with Andi today, I would take you to see the shops. We could dine at Paxton and Whitfield afterwards. They have a delectable selection of cheeses and biscuits. Or even travel to Covent Garden to the Tea House." She pressed a finger against her cheek, slightly leaning against it. "Perhaps another time?"

	"I--Yes, all right, that sounds nice." Harry leaned back in his chair, swirling the melting ice cream around with his spoon. If anything, shopping with Narcissa Malfoy was destined to be an experience that would never show again. He might learn something. Or not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coldest_malfoy 2007-11-01 05:10 am UTC (link)
	Narcissa inclined her head, satisfied with Harry's answer. She had another spoonful of her ice cream, letting out a little moan as she swirled her tongue around the spoon. Narcissa placed her spoon down. "I should be heading out soon to meet Andi. Thank you for this lovely outing, Harry." (Reply to this) (Parent)
