What: Unexpected visits.
Warnings: ... I'll get back to you on this.

Silence was something that Narcissa had entirely too much of. She had attempted filling the still air of the manor with music, but that had ended abruptly before breakfast. It was simply too much noise. A conundrum to be sure. It had been one of the things she had once loved about her home, the quiet. Now she hated it.

She had exhausted her day's agenda quicker than she had hoped. The idle thought of asking Draco over to dinner surfaced in her mind, as it so often did. It didn't last long. Instead, she opted for a walk through the garden. That didn't last long either. It had barely reached 4 o'clock when she'd given up and gone for a bottle of wine.

The bouquet of white flowers in the parlor became victim of her boredom. She set her second glass of wine down on the end table next to the massive vase so she could better arrange the blossoms. She wasn't entirely sure she was making it any better, but her hands were busy, at least.
