Chapter 5: It is never too late to give up our prejudices.
"It is never too late to give up our prejudices." -
- Henry David Thoreau

Narcissa Malfoy was waiting for me at the flowers shop. I only suggested for us to go there so we could buy the flowers we need for the healing ritual. She doesn´t know this yet, I will tell her only if she agrees with me to keep this away from Malfoy. I don´t know why is it about him but I don´t want him to know what I am doing with his mother.


“Miss. Granger, it´s a pleasure to see you again and so soon.”
I can see now, she was a true stunning woman. Her long blond hair is shining but not like it once looked when I first meet her. Her eyes don´t sparkle any more the way they did. Her skin is pale. I can see myself in a few moments if we do the healing ritual.

“Mrs. Malfoy, there is no need for you to be so nice. I can understand if you feel less then comfortable in my presence.”
I take the lead to the flowers I am looking for. Simple flowers and with a lot of magic in them. Wizards don’t like to recognize it.

“Miss. Granger. You most know I don´t feel uncomfortable in your presence. I think we need to talk about it.”
Mrs. Malfoy doesn´t seem the same person she was before, it´s a true evidence people can change.

“Only if you wish, I see no need.” The sound in the shops aren´t loud and somebody can listen to our conversation. But in reality I want to talk to her. To know her reasons, only to assure my conscience.

“Miss. Granger. We need to talk, not only for me but for you. I believe you are a magnificent person, a beautiful soul and I will be happy to be sure about it.”

What surprise me the most, she sounds sincere. I smile at her with an honest smile. To tell her without words I know she is being honest.


“Now, that we understand each other, lets buy some flowers and maybe I can convince you to have tea with me.”


As we walk through the shop and we carefully chose our flowers we talk and I can see her pain, her face is showing me what she´s feeling.

But is going to change, I will change it. Today I will make a difference in her life.

“Mrs.Malfoy, we need a quiet place, we are doing a healing ritual.”

If she doesn´t agree well fine, at least I tried, but I have a feeling she understands me and she will do it. She needs this time to be happy with her son.

“And what place do you have in mind?” She smiles, as she is looking forward to do the ritual. I feel more comfortable now; I know the curse is eating her inside and it´s painful. Cancer, a magical cancer is in her body.

“My house, my parents are away in a trip. Vacations if you have to put a name to it.”


“Your house it is.”


We finish our tea quickly and Appear in the back yard in my house. Her face shows curiosity but her body doesn´t. It moves naturally with a grace that not many people achieve in all their years.

The ritual is simple you see. It´s more like a calling, for the first elements we known.

I set the room in which I will be leading the ritual. Healing also means cleaning in some cultures. The flowers are a gift for the God and the Goddess.


“ Narcissa you will need to keep in mind the healing will not make the curse to go away, it will only help relieve pain and give you more strength”

I see her nodding in understanding. I think she knew since the beginning how the ritual works.

“I do understand my dear, I you have to know I thank you for everything that you are doing, You must know Hermione I only did what I did for love. I love my son more than I love my life, I will gladly gave it for him. I want him to be happy again.”
She has tears in her beautiful eyes.

“I have a feeling you know already about the healing ritual”
It´s more a statement. I´m not asking. She nods again and soke in a very calming voice.

“I do, I know about ritual healing since I first got hit by my lovely sister Bella. But I also knew I needed somebody to performing with. And not only a person. But someone who was willing to do it from the heart.”

With the understanding of the two we began the ritual.
Flowers as gifts. Salt to purify the ground. Candles represent the fire. Earth as another element. Water and a little fan to represent the wind.

“I thee call you God. You who know all the great and all the bad.
I thee call you Goddess, you whom know all the good and all the evil”

And the first flower a carnation burns into the sky.

“I thee call you God. To help heal the soul of a loving mother.
I thee call you Goddess. To help me heal the body of a beautiful woman”

The second flower a tulip burns into the sky.
“I thee call you God. To help me free her from her pain.
I thee call you Goddess. To help me helping to see the light and the happiness once more”

The last flower a daffodil burns into the sky.

Her face is relaxed; I can feel her pain now eating me alive. Her soul is at peace again.
