RP Thread: Narcissa and Eleanor Characters: Narcissa Malfoy & Eleanor Branstone Setting: The drawing room at the Malfoy Manor, afternoon tea. Summary: Eleanor asked for an audience with Narcissa and she is granting her that. Rating: Low, I'm guessing status: Thread/Closed/Incomplete
Narcissa was not surprised that some members of the AMP would wish to speak to her, though she was slightly impressed by the forward request to do so in a personal face to face manner. What she knew about Eleanor was vast enough from the research she put into making the matches, but she had never been acquainted with her personally, and did not know quite what to expect from the girl. She did know numerous facts about her family history, her performance at Hogwarts, her genetic disposition. Things that one wouldn't have expected Narcissa to know, but she really had put quite a bit of work into trying to most optimally pair up the individuals in the AMP.
She had the house elves prepare a tea, and Narcissa waited in the drawing room for her guest to arrive. One of the elves would show Eleanor in, and lead her to where she was waiting. This was a very strategic choice; Narcissa could not greet Eleanor herself, personally, at the door as it would signify that Eleanor had more importance to Narcissa than she had. Her sister would warrant such a greeting, Severus as well, but not some silly little girl requesting an audience with her. While she could have had Hermione do the simple task, she did not believe the mudblood was competent enough to do such a thing and not screw it up -- and she also wanted to pretend like she wasn't there ruining the perfect Malfoy manner.
Narcissa sat comfortably in a chair, in her hand a notebook in which she was writing down various to do lists and thoughts when it came to the AMP and her responsibilities as the head of it. She was deliberately appearing busy (not to say she wasn't genuinely busy), to signify how grateful Eleanor should be that she should take time out of her schedule for this meeting.
