Chapter 473 – 473. Flowers Bloom
Severus blasted through the door with a few confringo spells. He sensed someone and voiced, "Left"
Narcissa immediately shot a charm to her left, hitting one man. Severus focused on his right on the other two wizards. Crabbe family had relations with Voldemort and a few of them were Death Eaters. Hence, now most of the family was dead, except the three as they were too far in the bloodline to be considered real Crabbe. But, they didn't want to live, it seemed, and they were already on the watchlist anyway.
*Woosh*
Trails of shining bright lights touched two bodies and soon groans of pain resounded inside the large mansion. "Put down your wands, you don't have to die," Severus ordered.
"We won't let you take the money, we will die without it." They cried.
"I will kill you if you keep it. And get a job if you want to live, there is no free money." Severus, instead of waiting, started sending curses to knock them out.
"Let's go and get the money." He proceeded into the basement of the mansion.
The Crabbe family had already emptied the vault in Gringotts in fear that the bank may decide something else later. This was why they came here, otherwise, the bank could have just issued them another key. The bank itself was under Magnus' command now, and it was much bigger and richer because it follows Magnus' economic and investment advice.
Reaching the vault, they found stacks of gold galleons neatly placed there. Severus handed her expansion pouches and started shoving the money in them. Once done, they prepared to leave.
"So, what will you do with this money now?" He asked her.
"I have not thought much about it. Maybe keep it in the bank and find a house. I've imposed on you and Miss Prince for so long now," she apologetically replied.
Severus silently stared at her face as she was busy, "You can stay if you want, mother likes playing with Draco and teaching him. I did give him my family's surname to not make things worse for him."
"I am extremely grateful for that. Draco having the Prince as the last name is better than Black or Malfoy. But… I feel guilty now… I can't keep myself there, people will talk, they will talk about you. It will seriously bring down your chances of finding a date and move in life, Severus." She replied.
Silence ensued. There were things in minds of both but they did not speak. They needed a push, and shockingly, Severus' phone rang at that moment. It was from Magnus. "Brother, come to my place quickly, I need to show you something cute. Bring Narcissa as well. Ragnar went to your home, don't worry, he will keep Draco entertained."
"Magnus has invited us two to his place," Severus spoke.
Narcissa was happy, "Really? Let's go then, I have not seen his daughter yet, can't wait to see how beautiful she is. Emma is after all the most beautiful girl I have ever met."
Nodding, they apparated from there and arrived inside Buckingham Palace. Magnus would never allow anyone other than his family and Round Table members to come to Camelot. It would put security at risk.
As soon as they entered the living room, they found Magnus sitting on the sofa. On his table was Chad and another thing.
"Oh, look, Athena, this is Severus and Narcissa, both of them are somewhat dense." Magnus turned his daughter on his lap. She was utterly cute and was wearing a panda dress. In her mouth was a honey pacifier. Her eyes sparkled as soon as she saw the two beings she had never seen before.
Narcissa rushed to see her, "Aww… she is so adorable. Athena? It's a beautiful name. Severus, come here, look."
Magnus allowed them to hold her. As if trained beforehand, Athena hugged Narcissa's chest first, turned her head towards Severus and extended her cute little hand.
Severus instinctively gave her his hand. She held his finger and started nibbling on it as all babies do. This made both of them come close to each other and standstill.
*KECHAK*
Magnus clicked a photo, "This photo looks so cute, I will send you a copy later. Oh, you must be hungry, BOOPY! Come here,"
The House Elf in a nice butler suit and a nice oiled moustached appeared, he bowed first, "What would you like to have, your majesty,"
"Orange juice, and ask these two too," he ordered.
Boopy turned to face the guests, "Mr and Mrs Prince, what would you like to have?"
This made their faces go red in an instant. Magnus scolded Booby falsely, "No, Boopy, they are not dating… yet. Go and bring them orange juice too."
It all went as per the plan. Narcissa and Severus took seats. Athena kept nibbling on Severus' hand so Narcissa had to sit close too. They indeed looked like a couple.
Soon enough, Emma joined and they talked about normal things. Magnus didn't push things too much, they had probably gotten the idea by now. Magnus just made sure to make them realise that the people around them already saw them as couples. They already had enough sexual tension going on between them.
…
Later that night, Narcissa and Severus returned home. Draco was already asleep as Severus' mother was there. Ragnar had tired the boy by running behind him.
In the cold weather, they stood in front of the fireplace in the living room. "Good night. If you need any help packing then tell me,"
Narcissa nodded, "I will. Thank you for everything, Severus. If you ever need help, just tell me. Even If I can't do much I will do everything possible."
Severus took a long breath and blurted his response, "Then I want you to stay here, let Draco play around, let my mother be happy. I want you to continue to help in my experiments. You are an amazingly smart woman, so…"
"But if you feel restricted being here then you should go." He added.
Narcissa stepped closer to him, "You have been so kind to me. Don't you feel I am taking advantage of you?"
"I don't see myself handing out money to you. You never asked for it either, you work and get paid a normal salary. You living in this house is as good for me as for you. So no, I don't feel that way." Severus answered.
"What if I want to stay here forever?" She asked, now basically standing so close that there was just an inch separating them. She had to look up at his face.
Severus looked into her blue eyes, "Great, then we can grow old together,"
However, just as he said that he realised his words could mean so many things. Fearing, he tried to add more, "I meant that I…"
But all of a sudden Narcissa got on her toes and kissed his lips. Severus held her waist and pulled her closer, "Are you sure?"
She nodded her head, "I've been contemplating for a long time, I thought you didn't like me that way,"
"I thought you'd take it wrong if I tried to get closer this way," he said.
Both of them sighed, they had been fools. Narcissa kissed his lips again, "Will your mother be okay with this? I am someone with a son already,"
"She's already lost all hope I'd marry and find someone, and she likes you a lot. I think she will jump in happiness," he replied.
She kissed him again and asked, "I already have a son, won't you feel strange about that? That he's not your blood and… what happens when the family grows bigger?"
To this, Severus lifted her in the air by the waist and kissed her lips, "Did I not give him my last name? Having fought blood supremacists all my life, blood is the last thing I believe in, Narcissa. All that matters to me is if you are okay with having me. I am a boring man, you know."
"No, you are a caring, thoughtful, strong and intelligent man. I do not understand how and why you never had another girl in your life, but I feel lucky to get to know you. Thank you for everything and… feeling this way about me, Severus." She hugged his chest tightly.
She could feel his heart beating very fast, the same was her situation. She was so scared about confronting this feeling about him, scared that even this friendship will be lost. But she took a leap of faith after hearing him.
The two stayed silent, in each other's embrace. The day was cold but not anymore, as the warmth of each other was more than enough.
They silently promised to themselves.
~You don't ever have to worry about anything, Narcissa, I will be here for you.~
~I will never let you feel alone ever, Severus. I will always stand by you, forever~
The feelings that had been held locked for more than a year were now out and ready to bloom, washing away both Narcissa and Severus' life's gloom. Now, among them, only one certain guy was left with no partner, but finding a partner was something he didn't even bother to do.
…
Camelot,
"AAAA… Chad, I told you so many times not to sit on my face when I sleep. I dreamt of a fat woman sitting on my face and choking me… MERLIN'S TITS! GO AWAY!" Ragnar was, as always, messed up in the head.
