Chapter 7
Summer was just around the corner. The summer flowers in the Malfoy gardens were starting to bloom in full swing. Narcissa’s beautiful handy work with gardening would once again color the gardens in different colors for the new season. The woman had a natural green thumb. However, she was in no mood to trim her bushes as she stared blankly at them.
Earlier, before lunch, she had dropped by her husband’s office. She wanted to spend time with him and eat out with him for lunch. Again, he wasn’t there. Ever since the day when she had seen Lucius with the mobile, she had noticed that there were quite a number of times in which he was missing. Sometimes, she would try to visit him in his office and he wouldn’t be there. There were days in which he wouldn’t come home, and when he did finally come home, he would be happy. His would tell her that he had come from another business trip, but she knew that he was lying. Business trips made him grouchy afterwards, and not happy.
Narcissa concluded that Lucius was having an affair with another woman. After almost twenty years of marriage with the only man that she loved, it was over. She always thought that she was the one that would make Lucius happy, and that it would be forever—they would be forever. Her heart continued to break as she thought that he found love and happiness elsewhere, from another woman. And with the stupid muggle mobile, the woman was a muggle no doubt.
“Mother, is everything okay?” Draco asked as he walked towards her. He could see that she was crying as she knelt down on the soft green grass.
“I’m fine Draco,” Narcissa sniffled as she tried to hide her tears by wiping them away from her face.
“It’s father again isn’t it?” Draco said as he knelt right next to his mother. When she didn’t answer, he asked another question. “And you think he’s having an affair with another woman?”
Narcissa had told Draco everything the past weeks with regards of her ‘investigating’ of Lucius. So he knew what she was thinking. She nodded. “But it doesn’t matter what I think.”
“It matters!” he snapped. “You are his wife and he is supposed to be faithful to his vows and marriage with you. And just the thought of him being with a muggle is despicable. I never thought that father would go so low.”
“So if he was having an affair with another pureblooded witch, it would be okay with you?” Narcissa suddenly asked.
“You know what I meant mother,” Draco said.
“I’m sorry Draco,” Narcissa sobbed.
Draco pulled his mother in his arms and comforted her. “I’ll help you mother. I won’t leave you alone,” he told her softly. He thought to himself that he was going to follow his father, and needed to see with his own two eyes if there truly was another.

“Look what I have for my special boy,” Lucius smiled at Sebastian who was on his rocker. He then pulled out his hand from behind his back, waiving a small stuffed green dragon above Sebastian. “This is Norbi.”
Sebastian giggled and tried to reach up to the object that looked interesting.
“You spoil him too much Lucius,” Hermione commented as she placed down a plate of pasta on the table. She sat down next to him, and then served him some pasta and then filled her plate.
“There is no such thing as having too much toys,” Lucius answered back as he poured red wine into both their glasses. “It’s like you having a lot of books. You cannot say that I don’t spoil you either.”
“You are twisting it around,” she shook her head. “You truly are Slytherin.”
“As is Sebastian,” Lucius said as he kissed the little baby’s foot.
It was true; Sebastian’s Slytherin traits were coming out more and more. Sometimes when he would get his nappy changed, he would pee on whoever was changing him, and then make some sort of baby laugh.
“And if he had a Gryffindor godfather, instead of you, maybe he would change?” Hermione asked.
“Perhaps, but I doubt it,” Lucius answered. “Never has there been a Snape that wasn’t placed in Slytherin.”
“Nor has there been a child born of both houses,” Hermione said back. Right away she regretted saying the words that had come out of her mouth. Part of her still refused to believe that he son was the prophecy.

“Dinner was wonderful as always Hermione. Thank you,” Lucius complimented as he stepped out of the house, after putting on his black leather coat.
“Thank you for spending time with us,” she smiled up at him as he held onto one of her hands. “When will we see you again?”
“Day after tomorrow,” Lucius replied.
“That’s when Sebastian has his check up with his doctor.”
“Exactly the reason why I have to come. I will accompany the both of you yet again to Dr. Harding. Afterwards, we can have lunch at your favorite French restaurant nearby.”
“Sounds like a plan,” Hermione grinned. Her mouth already watering at the thought of ordering the succulent lamb chops.
Lucius bent his head down and planted a peck on Hermione’s lips. It was just an innocent kiss. They had shared a lot of them since the both of them had become best friends over the months. There was no malice behind it, and was purely a friend to friend gesture. “Till next time Love.”
Hermione smiled as he watched him walk away. When he turned around the corner and disappeared, she went back inside the house.

Draco stood beneath the shadows of a large tree and hid himself behind the tree trunk as he saw his father and a woman step out on the stop steps of the house. With his spying skills, he had followed his father from the Ministry to the house he saw him enter. He stood across the street and waited for him to come out.
His father had the keys to the house he noticed and entered it as if it was his home, and not as if he was a guest. Never did he or the mystery woman come out for hours. It made him ask a lot of questions in his head. How did he meet the woman? How long have they known each other? Was she wealthy, or did he purchase the house for her? He felt his blood boil when he thought about father spending for the woman. If so, he had spent a lot of money.
With both figures standing against the light, Draco knew it was his father and the woman. He could recognize the long hair of his father from anywhere. His eyes narrowed and jaws clenched when he saw his father bend down and kiss the woman. They were standing too close to each other like they were couples, and the kiss just made him believe that they were a couple indeed.
Draco was furious to say the least. He had to tell his mother.
