RP Thread: Narcissa & Eleanor Characters: Eleanor & Narcissa Setting: The Malfoy Estate; As Narcissa is carrying all business on there to keep up appearances even while they're in St. Ive's. When: The day after Eleanor & Higgs got into the fight on the journals. Summary: Eleanor has somethings she wants to discuss with Narcissa though probably wasn't expecting their meeting to end up the way it was.
Prior to the meeting, Narcissa had instructed the elves to prepare tea and biscuits and escort Eleanor into the drawing room when she arrived. She sat at a desk flipping through some papers while she waited, though her mind was as far from this meeting as possible.
Truth be told, Narcissa had been doing a very good job at keeping up appearances and acting as if she was on top of the world. She had been doing a convincing job at appearing as if she felt there was nothing at all wrong or flawed in the programme, but that was far from the truth.
Truth was, she was well aware of every single flaw in the programme, from the tiniest to the gravest. She was aware in every little crack in this brand new society, and the pressure that was constantly making those cracks bigger. She was well aware, and deep down inside that perfect facade, Narcissa was not happy.
Was it a crime to want Draco's generation to have some happiness in this life? Was it a crime to think that the younger generation of Purebloods deserved a lot better than what they had been given to deal with? No, but those were thoughts she must not let show on her face, as she tried to regain her composure before the young girl arrived.
