Chapter 4 - Narcissa Malfoy

                                    

                                          

Regulus was in awe as he approached the manor doors. 
He craned his neck just to take it all in. 
He gently knocked against the wooden door, stepping back as it opened. 
Narcissa wore a smile on her face that made her look eons younger. 
Her hair was half up and two pieces were left in the front to frame her face. 
Regulus was almost jealous of how she pulled off the black and platinum blonde combination. 
He laughed to himself, picturing James' reaction of Regulus dying his hair. 
Regulus decided he'd do it once, temporarily, just to prank James. 
"Regulus, it's so lovely to see you!" She gleamed. 
Regulus smiled back at her, but his eyes traveled to her stomach as she came more into view. 
Now that Regulus had taken notice- she was glowing and supported a small bump. 
"Come in, come in." She insisted as she pulled the door all the way open. 
Regulus stepped in the massive manor. 
It was almost three times the size of Grimmauld Place and a thousand times Remus and Sirius' place. 
It was very spacious- there was almost too much space. It seemed very...empty. 
The manor was gorgeous, but it lacked any warmth or comfort. 
Regulus could only imagine how lonely it got when Lucius was out so often. 
He frowned slightly, picturing Narcissa all alone in the massive place. 
She was so excited as she guided him into the drawing room. 
"Dobby!" She called sweetly. 
There was a pop and a rather small elf, way more youthful than kreacher, appeared. 
"Regulus, this is Dobby." Narcissa introduced. 
"Hello, Dobby. I'm Regulus." Regulus introduced himself. 
"Hullo, Mister Regulus." Dobby muttered politely. 
"Is the tea ready?" Narcissa asked. 
Dobby nodded, "Yes mistress, Dobby will fetch it." 
"Thank you." Narcissa spoke as Dobby popped out of the room. 
Out of all his cousins Narcissa was the nicest to the house elves. 
Andy tried to ignore them, she mostly did everything on her own- not using the elves for anything. 
Cissy was very kind when she spoke to the elves and whenever she asked them for anything. 
Bella was the worst. She was so cruel to the elves. Regulus even heard a rumor she'd killed one. 
Dobby appeared with the tea as Regulus and Narcissa got comfortable. 
Regulus took a sip of the piping hot tea, "Chamomile?" 
"It's supposed to calm the nausea." Narcissa explained. 
It seemed to do wonders for Regulus. He felt relaxed and calm. 
"I guess congratulations are in order." Regulus gleamed. 
"Thanks. It's a boy." Narcissa muttered, placing a hand to her bump with a smile. 
"That's brilliant. You'll be a wonderful mother." Regulus assured.
