!log, lily evans, narcissa malfoy

Who: Narcissa Malfoy and Lily Evans
Where: A deserted alley. Yes I can do cliche ;p
What: she's just arrived!
When: Wednesday Evening
Rating: PG
Status: Complete

Narcissa had been heading to dinner when she ended up somewhere else. Somewhere she didn't recognise at all which, so soon after the war had ended up her on alert. It wasn't just everyday one was transported from their home to a completely new place and not be aware of why or where they were. At least without a decent reason, which she did not have at the moment. The sensible part of her brain said she would have known if someone had managed to get into Malfoy Manor without her knowing with all the extra wards around the Manor. Perhaps Lucius had planned a surprise for her but at the same time, even this wasn't how he would go about it.

So all in all, Narcissa had no idea how she got where she was or where she was for that matter and she didn't like it at all. Her mood wasn't improved either when she tried to apparate home and failed, in fact she just landed back where she was. Which made no sense to her as she hadn't sensed any anti-apparation wards around, it just hadn't worked. Pulling out her wand, which she thankfully had on her person still she cast a simple lumos and discovered that it still worked. That was something at least.

Now all she had to do was find where she was and then find a way home before Lucius and Draco became too worried about her.

Well, she would see, and Lily felt the same sort of sympathy she felt for everyone who was displaced, regardless of what role they'd played at home, or whether or not she'd known them. She nodded her agreement to the woman's murmured words before she gestured ahead with one hand.

"It's not ... very far," she assured her. She nearly said they could take a bus, but for the distance it was she didn't think it was worth subjecting Narcissa to the crowd of Muggles that would be on it.

"So ... so when are you from, exactly?" Lily wasn't sure Narcissa had said, or if she was interested in sharing more details to fill the silence on their walk toward the center.

"June 1998," she replied glancing around the area as she walked. It looked a bit like the New York she could remember seeing when she was a teenager, the differences were noticeable though. Then again, she had only really stayed in the Magical area of the city, not venturing out to the Muggle section. After all her family would have sooner died than have done that.

Narcissa had no idea what else to say, not that she really wanted to spill her entire life story to Evans. They weren't friends and it was none of her business. Instead she just walked next to her in silence.

Lily nodded, but since Narcissa didn't seem inclined to converse -- and she didn't blame her, really -- she'd join in the silence as well. She was glad it wasn't far, because she'd never dealt well with uncomfortable silences and this one was headed that way.

She decided she'd tell the others once she got back to the flat, though beyond that ... she wasn't going to broadcast it. She was sure Narcissa would use the boards if she wanted to contact anyone else, and they could explain everything at the welcome center. So really, Lily felt no compulsion to try to take care of any of that.

Once they had turned onto the street the center was on, she gestured toward it. "That building, there," she said. She assumed Narcissa wouldn't want her company longer than necessary, but she'd wait to ensure she made it in all right all the same.

"Thank you," Narcissa said with a nod of her head. She might not like that woman but it was better than being left alone to find her way her by herself. That would have been disastrous. She could be polite though and at least thank her for going out of her way to direct her to the building she was after. Many people would have just left her to make her own way there - she wasn't delusional about that.

Hopefully this place would allow her some normality in her life, but she wasn't holding her breath given what she had learned so far. All in all, she was glad to have somewhere to stay when it came down to it. She would see how this place fared, though her hopes weren't high for it.

"You're welcome," she replied. "Best of luck," she added sincerely. They were all in the same situation, yes, but some of them were better equipped to handle it than others. Lily had grown up on the Muggle side of things, so she was better set to adapt than someone like Narcissa or Ginny.

Lifting her hand in a wave, she turned to head away toward her flat, pulling out her mirror to let Sirius and Remus know why she was going to be running later than predicted just so they wouldn't worry.

	Giving Lily a nod she watched her start to walk away before taking a deep breathe and entering the building. She hoped she could get it sorted out quickly and either home or settled. Either way she didn't want to stay here for a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent)
