Chapter 9: The Unexpected Guest
Every occupant in the room turned to look at the door, where the unexpected guest stood. He tried to cover up his surprise at seeing so many people at Hermione’s gathering.
“Where is Hermione?” He asked, without greeting any of the other guests, as she didn’t see Hermione sitting at the table, even though the Grangers were there.
“Potty, I know your parents weren’t there to raise you, but try to be cordial, when in company of better wizards and witches.” Draco said to Harry, the unexpected guest. “And if you can’t recognize your own best friend, than that’s your fault.” Amy Malfoy stood and looked at her former best friend.
“What do you want Harry?” We were having a nice evening until you decided to barge in here without being invited.” She saw her former best friend gasp and blink multiple times, it was clear to her that he didn’t believe his eyes.
“Hermione? Is that you?” He asked flabbergasted.
“No, at least not anymore. Now it’s Amy Narcissa Malfoy.” She told him, with trademark Malfoy smirk on her lips.
“Wasn’t it enough for you to be related to Death Eaters, do you have to look like one too? I bet your precious daddy already put the dark mark on your arm.” He couldn’t say more, as he was talking, Amy was approaching him, when he finally finished his tirade, she was already standing in front of him and slapped him across the face. She had never been so mad at anyone before, the anger left tears in her eyes and she turned her back to before he could see the traitorous tears. She took a minute to regain her composure, let her tears dry and turned back to face him.
“How dare you come into my family home? Uninvited at that and sprout profanities about my family? I had hoped to one day be able to forgive you for turning your back on me, but after today, I realize how childish I was being, I won’t ever be able to forgive you.” The traitorous tears had returned, leaving her vision a bit blurred. With the back of her hand, she furiously rubbed her eyes dry, then she cleared her throat and continued yelling at him. “Leave now, before my father hexes you into next year.” She looked him in the eye, with a look of disdain, that not even Anthony Dolohov had received from her.
During her speech, everybody had been quiet and they were now waiting for what she would do next, some even hoped she would slap him again. They were all equally stunned, when she just turned around and left the room, without saying another word.
The boys, them being Ron, Draco, Blaise and Theodore, stood up and escorted the savior of the Wizarding World out of the room. Ginny noticed that nobody went after Amy, to see if she was alright after her confrontation with her former best friend. Suddenly the red haired girl stood up and ran after her best friend. As all the children had something to do, the adults resumed eating, except Narcissa. Lucius noticed this and tried to coerce her into eating more.
“No Lucius, I won’t eat until I know that everything is alright with my baby girl.” Lucius shook his head, he knew it was pointless to dry and dissuade her. Narcissa stood up and left through the same door as Ginny and Amy had.
Meanwhile in the garden, Ginny had found Amy, sitting on a bench, crying her eyes out. She silently made her way to the bench and took a seat beside her on the bench.
“Ginny, why is he such an idiot? Why can’t he support me like I had supported him all these years? “
“I don’t know Her- I mean Amy” The younger girl said, while gathering the sobbing girl in her arms. She wasn’t able to say anything else, because Mrs. Malfoy was walking towards them. As she saw Narcissa Malfoy approaching them, she realized that the older woman really loved her daughter.
“Miss Weasley, why don’t you go back inside and finish your dinner? I’ll stay here with Amy.” The older woman told her quietly but sternly. The younger girl nodded and stood up.
“We’ll talk later Amy, alright?” Even though it was dark, she could see the older girl nodding her head.
“Darling, tell me what’s going on. I’m quite aware of what happened a few minutes ago, but why didn’t you tell us that he didn’t support you and your new life?” Her mother asked, as she took a seat on the place Ginny had just vacated.
“I don’t know. I guess I had hoped he would realize his mistake and beg me for forgiveness. Guess I was wrong about that.”
“Darling, I know that it’s been hard for you to get used to your new life and having one of your best friends turning his back on you doesn’t make it any easier, but I promise it will get easier. And whatever happens, your father, your brother and I will always be there to help you. We’re Malfoys, we stick together.”
“I’ve always been an optimist, but Harry’s reaction has showed me that no amount of optimism will solve my problems or change people’s opinions about me.” Narcissa nodded, not sure what she should say, she had never had such good friendships as Amy had.
The Malfoy woman continued talking for another hour, until it was too cold to site outside without coats on. In the meantime Lucius and Draco had asked the guests to leave and assured them that they were always welcome at the manor to visit Amy. After the guests had left, the Malfoy men had retreated to the family parlor, where they nursed their drinks. That is where the woman found them. Both men thought that Narcissa was looking content after her long talk with her daughter, whereas Amy was looking exhausted. Their suspicions were confirmed when Amy announced that she would be going to her room, to read before she went to bed.
“Goodnight father, mother, Draco.”
“Wait, I’ll walk you to your room, the boys are waiting for me upstairs.” Draco said, as he too made his way out of the room. After they had both left and their parents could hear their footsteps on the stairs, they started talking about everything that had transpired this evening. Lucius poured his wife a drink, before talking to her.
“How did you talk with her go?” He was quite a bit concerned about her well-being, because he hadn’t been able to protect throughout her childhood. Many would be surprised at his concern, because he didn’t show it in public, that is why he didn’t follow his wife outside.
“It went quite well, she opened up to me and told me everything that has been worrying her. I think this talk was a great step in bettering my relationship with her. “ She told her husband with a small smile playing on her lips. “I hope that everything will get better after tonight. How did the rest of our guests react to Harry Potter’s surprise visit?”
“They apologized profusely for the profanities Potter said and seemed to be quite ashamed of him.” He said with a smirk on his face, he was glad that everyone thought the boy was obnoxious for just walking in his home. “Mrs. Weasley left after you went to search for our daughter, muttering something about teaching that boys some manners.” The lady of the Manor had to laugh, as she imagined Molly Weasley yelling at the boy, who she considered as one of her sons.
“We’ll have to have a makeup dinner, I almost can’t believe that something like that happened at our Manor. I’ve never been so embarrassed.”
“Cissa, calm down. They didn’t even care, they are used to sudden outbursts, like the ones we had at dinner, it’s always chaotic at their home.” He said with a tone of disdain, he may learn to be around them without insulting them, but that didn’t that he would ever like them.
As Amy made her way to breakfast the next morning, the events of the previous night kept running through her mind. She was so deep in thought that she hadn’t realized there was someone walking beside her, until she heard someone say good morning to her. “Good morning, Miss Malfoy.” She jumped, surprised by the sudden noise. She had learned to let her guard down after the final battle, not being afraid of her own shadow anymore.
“Good morning to you too, Mister Nott.” She smiled a bit at him, embarrassed to be seen in her pajamas, she hadn’t changed yet.
“May I accompany you to breakfast?” He asked, offering the blushing girl his arm. Without replying, she hooked her arm through his. Together they made their way to the dining room, where Lucius was already eating his breakfast and reading the Daily Prophet. As they arrived, Theodore helped her seat herself, kissed her knuckles and then left her side to sit opposite her. His actions left Amy giggling, something she usually didn’t do. At the sound of laughter, Lucius looked up from his paper and stared at the teenagers for a couple of seconds, before shaking his head with a smirk plastered on his lips, he would have to talk to Mr. Nott later. The three of them enjoyed their breakfast in silence, not wanting disturb the peace. When they were almost ready, Draco and Blaise came marching in, looking overly tired.
“Brother dearest, didn’t you sleep at all?” Amy asked, a bit concerned about her brothers appearance. Draco smirked, before replying.
“Of course I slept, don’t be silly. Blaise and I exaggerated a bit with our wizarding chess competition.” Amy laughed at that, she had always suspected that her brother was competitive and it was nice to know that she was once again right. Before she had time to say something to him, her came into the dining room, looking quite upset at the teenagers.
“Why aren’t you ready yet? We made plans to go to Diagon Alley today, to buy your school supplies.” Both children looked surprised at their mother, haven totally forgotten about their plans for the day.
“Mother, we’ll be ready in half an hour, if that’s alright with you.”Her mother nodded and the kids finished eating their meal as quickly as possible and all left together for their rooms. Luckily they all their own rooms and bathrooms, which meant no one would have to wait.
