pills and potions

[WARNING: overdose and self-harm mentioned!]

“Go to your room Allora! I’m tired of telling you over and over again. Not everything is about you!” Lucius shouted. The family were sitting at the table eating dinner when Allora mumbled something about her father not caring about her, which turned into another argument between her and her father. 

“You do this every time though! Whenever I do something good, you’ll brush it off and tell Draco good job for something! Why can’t you just be proud of me?! For once in my life?! I’m sorry I got into Ravenclaw. I’m sorry I’m in love with a half-blood. I’m sorry I ended up being a girl and not a boy like you wanted. I’m sorry for everything, but it’s done! Alright?! I get that you’re disappointed in me, but it is what it is! You were too busy worrying about my grades in Herbology to notice all the other subjects I did well in” she said and stormed off to her room, slamming the door to make sure her family was able to hear it from the dining room. She rushed to her bathroom that was attached to her bedroom, and opened her mirror cabinet. She took out a blade she unscrewed from a sharpener, and sat down on the floor in front of her bathtub. 

She had tears streaming down her face as she drew the blade across her wrists. “Two months down the fucking drain. Congrats, Lora” she pulled up her skirt, and dragged the blade across her thighs. “This isn’t enough” she groaned and closed her eyes tightly, and tried to take a deep breath. She looked up to the mirror that was open, and saw a bottle of pills. “No, Allora. Please don’t do it” she whispered to herself. She looked at it again, and then her thighs and wrists, which had blood seeping out from them. 

“Fuck it” 

She got up from the ground, her legs shaking from the cuts. She took the bottle and opened it with her shaking hands. She poured several pills into her hands, accidentally dropping some on the floor. She took a staggering breath before shoving the pills down her throat. She swallowed them and picked up the four pills from the floor before shoving them down her throat too. She poured more into her hands when there was a knock on her bedroom door. She ignored it and shoved those down her throat too.

“Allora?” It was her mother. “I’m coming in” 

“Allora?” Narcissa walked into the bathroom, and the sight was horrifying. At this point, Allora was on the ground struggling to breathe. She was clutching her chest and choking. “ALLORA!” Narcissa rushed to her daughter’s side. “Allora, sweetie, can you hear me?” When Allora didn’t reply, Narcissa’s heart was beating fast. Narcissa looked around and saw a few pills scattered on the floor and her heart dropped.

“Lucius!” Narcissa shouted. She sat Allora up against the bathtub and hit her back multiple times. “Lucius!” Narcissa shouted again in frustration with fear leaking into her voice. 

“Allora, can you hear me? Squeeze my hand if you can hear me baby” Narcissa felt Allora squeeze her hand faintly. “Okay. Okay, what pills did you take? Where’s the bottle?” Narcissa asked frantically. 

Narcissa looked around and saw a bottle which had most likely fallen out of Allora’s hands when she fell to the ground. She read the label and saw it was a bottle of fentanyl pills. 

“Fuck” she whispered. 

“Narcissa, why are you screaming like a maniac?” Lucius asked, walking into the room.

“Lucius, when you come into the bathroom, I need you to listen very carefully to me,” Narcissa said, ignoring his comment. 

Lucius walked into the bathroom and panicked when he saw his daughter unconscious in his wife’s arms. “What happened to her?!” Lucius exclaimed.

“She overdosed on fentanyl pills. But listen to me. Take the boys to Artemis and Adrian’s house. Aurelius�� emergency bag is in his room, grab it and floo them over- Lucius are you listening to me?! This is important!” Narcissa shouted in frustration. Allora’s faint breathing and low heart rate is the only thing keeping her from hexing Lucius for not paying attention. She did not have the time for his games. 

“Yes, yes I’m listening. Take the boys to Artemis and Adrian’s house and get Aurelius’ emergency bag in his room” he said quickly. 

“Good. I’m taking Allora to St. Mungo’s. I need you to wait for me in my office. I will come to you when Allora is fine, okay?”

“Okay” Lucius rushed to Aurelius’ room and grabbed the bag before heading downstairs to where he left Draco with Aurelius. 

“What’s happening? Why do you have Aurelius’ emergency bag?” Draco asked.

“You two are going to your aunt and uncle’s house” Lucius said, quickly wiping the mashed potato off Aurelius’ face and hands. 

“Why?” Draco asked. 

“Because your sister needs to go to the hospital” 

“Is she gonna be okay? What happened to her?” 

“Hopefully. She overdosed on some pills, but your mother is taking her to St. Mungo’s now and will help her. Don’t worry” Lucius said and picked up Aurelius and carried him over to the floo. 

“Don’t worry?!” Draco exclaimed, following his father. “My sister overdosed and you’re telling me not to worry?!” 

“Listen to me Draco. Go with your brother to your aunt and uncle’s house. Your mother will look after your sister. You and I both know she’s the best Healer in London. She will be fine. Now come” Lucius followed Draco into the fireplace and grabbed some floo powder. He dropped it into the fireplace and yelled, “Berkshire Place!”

They landed in the living room where Adrian, Artemis and Lorenzo were sitting and talking.

“Lucius! I didn’t know you were coming” Artemis said excitedly, standing up to hug her brother. She took Aurelius out of Lucius’ arms and into her own and smiled at Draco and kissed his temple.. “Where’s Allora and Narcissa?” she asked when she saw her niece and sister-in-law were not here. 

“Allora’s in hospital and I need these two to stay with you for a few hours, maybe until tomorrow” Lucius said quickly. 

“What? What happened to her? Is she okay?” Lorenzo said standing up. 

“She overdosed on pills but Cissa is looking after her. She wants me to go to St. Mungo’s once I drop the boys” Lucius said, dragging a hand through his hair. 

“Do you want me to come with you?” Adrian said, patting Lucius’ back.

“No. It’s fine. I just need to wait until she’s okay. I’ll update you soon” Lucius said. He kissed Aurelius’ forehead and whispered, “Be good for Aunty and Uncle, okay Relli?” 

“Okay daddy!” he said excitedly. 

Lucius walked towards Draco and tapped his back, “Please watch your brother and make sure he behaves. And don’t be too much of a hassle to Adrian and Artemis” he whispered in his ear.

“I will Father” Draco nodded.

“Alright, bye” Lucius said and left through the floo. He flooed to St. Mungo’s and walked towards Narcissa’s office, his mind going 100 miles per hour. 

When he walked in, Narcissa was sitting on the couch with her head in her hands. 

“Cissa?” he asked softly. He slowly walked towards her and kneeled down in front of her. “How is she? Is she okay?” Narcissa didn’t reply. “Please- don’t- don’t tell me she didn’t make it” he whispered, and Narcissa snapped her head up and started shaking her head rapidly. 

“No- no, she’s fine love. Its just- the thought that I might not have had my daughter anymore scared the life out of me” She said shakily.

“It scared me too. So she’s asleep I’m guessing?” he said. 

“She’s asleep but my team is still doing surgery on her but they kicked me out of the room because I couldn’t think properly and I was doing all sorts of wrong things. They’ve got it handled. I made sure my best trained Healers were working on her” she said, struggling to take deep breaths. Lucius, noticing this, took her shaky hands in his and kissed them.

“Look at me” Narcissa shook her head and looked down. “Cissa. Look at me” Narcissa looked up and into his grey eyes that she fell in love with all those years ago. “She’s okay. She’s going to be just fine my love”

Narcissa nodded and shut her eyes closed tightly. She accidentally let out a sob and Lucius rushed to comfort her. “Hey, hey. It’s okay. She’s alive and she’s fine” Lucius whispered in her ear. He stood her up and held her close and he whispered reassurances in her ear.

“It was so scary Lucius,” Narcissa sobbed. “I thought she was going to die. I- I walked into the bathroom and she was on the ground- and- and she couldn’t breathe- Oh Merlin Lucius it was terrifying” she sobbed. 

“I know, I know it was” Lucius said and he kissed her forehead and rested his chin on her head as she sobbed into his chest. “It’s ok, my love. She’s fine now” Narcissa nodded, but couldn’t stop crying.

sneaking out

As Allora walked back up the driveway towards the manor, she saw a figure on the porch and groaned internally. She couldn't get back up to her window without being seen.

As she walked closer, she could see that the figure on the porch was none other than her mother, Narcissa Malfoy. She was sitting on the porch with a book in one hand, and a glass of wine in the other. She had a woolly shawl around her shoulders and a blanket that was always kept outside draped over her knees to keep her warm from the cold. 

When Allora locked eyes with her mother, she sighed. There was no getting out of this now. Once she saw she was close to the manor, Narcissa marked the page in her book and drained the rest of her wine in one gulp, leaving the glass on the outdoor table and the blanket on the seat for the elves to clear up later. 

“In” she said sternly when Allora found herself standing on the porch. 

As she walked towards the staircase once she was inside the manor, her mother quickly turned her away to walk towards the living room. 

“Don’t even think about it” she said and took her hand  as she led her towards the living room. Once they had both sat down in the living room, Narcissa had another glass of wine in her hand, the shawl draped over the back of her armchair.

“Where were you?” she asked. “And do not lie to me, because you will be in even more trouble”

“I was at a friend’s house” she said vaguely and Narcissa sighed irritated, a sign that Allora shouldn’t mess with her mother. But she was drunk and in the mood to piss off her mother.

“Tell me whose house it was, or Merlin help me, I will wake your father and not only will he be unhappy about being woken up at-” she stopped to look at the clock behind her. “-4:27 in the morning, he will be even angrier to find out you had snuck out. Who’s. House'' she said.

“I was with Lorenzo.” Narcissa looked like she was going to leave it there, but then her eyes narrowed dangerously at Allora.

“Artemis and Adrian are in Switzerland. You’re dressed in party clothes. You reek of alcohol and cigarettes” Narcissa stated. “There was a party, wasn't there?” The silent reply Narcissa received told her that her assumption was correct. “For Merlin’s sake Allora! How did you think I felt when I went into your room to find your bed empty and your window wide open?!”

“It was just a party mum,” she said bluntly.

“That’s not the point Allora Malfoy!”

“Whatz ‘appening?” a voice asked sleepily from the living room entrance. They both snapped their heads at the doorway and saw Aurelius standing there in his pyjamas. He was holding his stuffed rabbit called Babbity by the ear in one hand and fisting his eyes with the other. 

Narcissa took a deep breath before she spoke.

“What are you doing awake sweetie?” she asked softly.

“Gotta love the mood swings” Allora muttered but quickly cowered under her mother’s harsh glare. 

“I woke up. I ‘on know why," he mumbled, walking towards his mother and sat himself in his mother’s lap, seeking her warm comfort. Narcissa rubbed his back gently and held him tightly as she stood up so she wouldn’t drop him.

“Let’s get you back to bed, little one” she said gently in his ear and turned to her drunk daughter who was sitting on the couch looking at them through half-closed eyes and a silly smile on her face. Narcissa took a deep breath so she wouldn’t lash out at her deviant daughter in front of the toddler in her arms, who was already half-asleep in his mother’s warm embrace. 

“I’m going to put your brother back to sleep. Don’t go anywhere” Narcissa instructed sternly, giving Allora a look so she would not disobey her mother’s orders.

“Yeah, yeah. Why would I want to get in more trouble?” Allora asked sarcastically as she put her feet up on the coffee table and grabbed a book that was discarded on the table. 

Narcissa sighed irritated and left the room to put Aurelius back in bed. When she came back, Allora was still laying on the couch, the book in her hands. 

“Allora,” she called. 

“Hm?” Allora replied and Narcissa sighed, walking towards her.

“I don’t appreciate that you snuck out, but I want you to understand how I must’ve felt when I saw your bed empty and had no idea where you were or if you were okay. I sat on the porch for three hours, praying you would come home safe and sound” Narcissa said, kneeling down in front of Allora, taking her hands in her own. 

“I’m sorry. I didn’t think you would worry that much” Allora muttered.

“Of course I would worry. I’m your mother, all I do is worry” Allora leaned down and hugged her mother carefully. 

“I really am sorry” Allora mumbled into Narcissa’s shoulder. 

“As long as you don’t do it again. Next time tell me. Do you understand?” Narcissa said sternly.  

“Yeah. I’ll tell you next time. I promise mum” 

Narcissa sighed. “Off to bed now. I won’t mention this to your father, but if you have a hangover tomorrow, you can take a hangover cure. I’m trusting you to not make us have this conversation again” 

“We won't,” Allora said. She placed a kiss on her mother’s cheek before walking upstairs towards her bedroom. 

Narcissa sighed and stood up. When she arrived into her bedroom, Lucius was fast asleep. When she finished getting ready for bed, she tucked herself under Lucius’ arms and closed her eyes. 

“You know. I heard your whole conversation with Allora” Lucius whispered in her ear and Narcissa jumped slightly in surprise before shaking her head and chuckling. 

“You were awake?” she asked and turned around to face him, still tucked tightly in his arms. 

“Yeah. I noticed you weren’t in bed anymore and went downstairs and heard you talking to Allora. I’ll let this slide like you did and pretend to be oblivious if that’s what you want” Lucius said.

“I think we should give her a chance. This is the first time she’s done this. We’ve done it more times than either of us could count. It would only be unfair. If she does it again, then she’ll get in trouble. She already knows she will” Narcissa said. 

“Okay. Whatever you think is best, my love. Now sleep. I’m tired and I have to go into the office tomorrow” Lucius said. When he didn’t hear a reply, he looked down and saw Narcissa already fast asleep. He chuckled quietly and kissed her forehead. “Goodnight, my love” he whispered and closed his eyes.

WARNING: smut

Backstory: Narcissa was talking with an ex and Lucius got jealous

Narcissa and Lucius were out shopping for Narcissa’s birthday in Diagon Alley. Lucius decided to spoil his wife and she was not one to deny that offer.

 While they were in what had to be the tenth shop, Narcissa was looking through the racks while Lucius was on the other side of the shop, sitting down and keeping track of his wife’s every move.

“Narcissa Black?” a voice called.

Narcissa turned around and smiled brightly at the voice. “Oh! Atticus! How have you been? I haven’t seen you since graduation!”

“Me too! I heard you got married and had a kid or two” he said.

“Oh yes, yes. I married Lucius and we had twins, Draco and Allora. What about you? I heard you married Sierra Rowle” 

Lucius was watching their exchange with a clenched jaw. Before Lucius and Narcissa started dating, she was in a relationship with Atticus Selwyn. They had broken it off after 3 years due to a mutual agreement to be just friends, though every time they were talking or in any sort of engagement with each other, Lucius would become jealous, though he would never dare to admit it.

As their conversation wore on, Lucius finally had enough when Narcissa laughed at something he had said and put her hand on his arm. 

“Selwyn!” Lucius called politely, making his way to the pair. Atticus paled when he saw Lucius and chuckled nervously, composing himself. A few years ago, Lucius had punched him when he found out Atticus tried to kiss Narcissa. That was just after graduation when Atticus had tried to convince Narcissa that he was better for her than Lucius and that he regretted breaking it off with her. 

“Malfoy” he nodded respectfully. “How have you been?” he asked, trying to contain his nervousness, but clearly failing.

“I’ve been alright, but I’m afraid Narcissa and I must take our leave. We need to get back to the twins” he said.

“What?” Narcissa cut in. “They’re fine-” she said, but got cut off by Lucius.

“You know we can’t trust Dobby with the twins. Come, we must leave” he said and quickly took Narcissa’s arm and strolled out of the shop, apparating them both to their bed chambers.

“Merlin Lucius! What’s wrong with you?!” Narcissa asked, when they had landed in their bedroom.

“Nothing” he shrugged and cupped her cheeks with one hand and kissed her furiously. 

“Luci- Lucius!” she shouted against his lips. 

“That’s what you get for flirting with Selwyn” Lucius smirked and pushed her down on the bed.

“Flirting?!” she burst, outraged. She was sprawled in the middle of the bed, and tried to get up but Lucius pushed her back down.

“Yes. Flirting” he said simply, and began kissing and sucking at her neck and running his hand up and down her thigh slowly.

“Lu- Lucius” she moaned softly, and arched her neck to give him more space.

“You’re in a for a long night. By the time I’m done with you, you won’t be able to walk and Draco and Allora will be wondering what’s wrong with their mother” he said and by now, his hand was all the way up her dress and tugging on her knickers. He pulled them down and threw them from the bed, not caring where they landed. 

He thrust his fingers inside her causing her to scream out.

“Be quiet” he hissed but continued thrusting his fingers in and out of her. She muffled her moans with her hand and Lucius kept thrusting his hand in and out faster and harder causing her to buck her hips.

"Please, more. Yeah just like that" Narcissa moaned.

"You like that?" Lucius asked. Narcissa nodded but Lucius wasn't pleased. He slapped her thigh and demanded her to speak.

"Yes, I love that" she moaned, trying to keep quiet. When Lucius felt her nearing her orgasm, he pulled his fingers out, just before she came. "Lucius, don't do this" she sobbed quietly.

When her husband would do this, she knew she was in for a long night before she was able to cum.

"What would you rather, I edge you until you beg me for an orgasm or I overstimulate you until you can't think straight?" Lucius asked, his fingers making way to his mouth as he tasted his wife's juices.

Narcissa thought about it for a bit and she knew she would regret it when she said that she would rather be overstimulated. 

Lucius chuckled, kissing her neck before putting his head between her thighs. Her orgasm built up fairly quickly after being denied and before Narcissa knew it, she was coming into her husband's mouth but Lucius didn't stop. He continued licking and sucking until Narcissa was on her fourth orgasm of the night and started pushing him away.

"I'm sorry, please stop" she sobbed but Lucius did nothing but hold her thighs tightly and continuing his ministrations. When Narcissa came twice more, Lucius pulled away from her thighs and flipped her around roughly.

He quickly stripped of his robes and boxers before sliding into Narcissa from behind without any warning. Narcissa tiredly pushed him away but Lucius held her hands behind her back and started thrusting into her roughly.

He pulled her body up so his chest was to her back and moved to whisper in her ear.

"Do you now understand what happens when you talk to other men? You're mine, Narcissa. No one else's. Your body belongs to me and if you let any other man touch you, I will bury him 6 feet under and fuck you until you become putty in my hands" he said and Narcissa moaned at his dominance, finding it incredibly hot. "Do. You. Understand?" he said with each hard thrust.

Narcissa couldn't respond. She was having orgasm after orgasm, and couldn't think straight enough to respond to her husband's words. He pushed her down so she was on all fours. He spanked her arse and repeated, “Do you understand?!"

"Yes, yes I understand! I'm yours!" she moaned and heavily came on her husband's cock. Lucius nodded and flipped her around as he held her leg up with one hand. He pushed into her from an angle which made Narcissa's head spin. She couldn't keep up with this anymore.

Lucius pushed into her as he felt his orgasm coming and thrusted into her as fast and hard as he could. He pulled out of her.

He lifted Narcissa to her knees and put his cock in her mouth as Narcissa sucked and licked at it. Lucius reached down to Narcissa's pussy and entered his fingers into her, her moans vibrating around his cock.

She used her hands to rub the parts of him she couldn't fit in her mouth and soon enough, spurts of come leaked from the base of his cock, landing in Narcissa's mouth as he wanked himself to get the most out of his release. Narcissa had come three times in the last 4 minutes while she sucked him off.

Once Lucius had finished with her mouth, he laid on the bed, pulling Narcissa into his arms, spent from the afternoon they'd had.

"How do you feel my love?" he asked as he stared into her shiny blue eyes.

"Exhausted" she sighed and rested her head against his chest.

"I love you" Lucius said. "And Happy Birthday"

"I love you too, handsome. Thank you" she said and leaned up to kiss him. Lucius kept their lips connected as he pulled her onto his lap and made out with her furiously, until they heard a knock at their door.

"Mummy! We're hungry" Allora's little voice sounded through the door.

"Yeah" Draco's quiet voice added. Narcissa quickly got off Lucius and put on her silk dressing robe from that morning. Lucius looked disappointed at how quickly Narcissa was able to get off him.

"Come back" he groaned.

"No, the kids haven't eaten yet" Narcissa said. "Now either put on your boxers or put a sheet over yourself"

Lucius grabbed his boxers from the floor and put them on before he went back and laid on the bed, sweat still dripping from his chest. Lucius watched as she limped over to the door and when it swung open, two little blonde children were standing at the door.

"Hi mummy!" Allora said as she lifted her arms, signalling Narcissa to carry her. Narcissa picked her up as she affectionately tousled Draco's head of bright blonde hair.

"Hi baby" Narcissa said, and kissed her cheek. "You guys hungry?"

"Yeah!" They both cheered.

"Let's go get you some food then." Narcissa said, walking down the hall.

"Mummy, why are you walking like that?"

if i die young

“Mother?” Draco called, walking into the bedroom where Narcissa sat on the bed. She quickly wiped away the tears at the sight of her son. “It’s time” Narcissa nodded and stood up from her place on the bed.

She looked around the room one more time. The window seat where Allora would sit and read her books she loved. Her photo wall with all her friends and family on it. The vanity where Narcissa would brush her hair while Allora read a book aloud. She looked to the bed once more and ran her fingers across the bedspread, where they would lay under the covers and Allora would snuggle up to Narcissa while they talked about Hogwarts, boys or typically anything they could think of. She would never get to experience that again.

“Narcissa?” Lucius called and she looked up. “When did he get here?” she thought in her head. Lucius was holding Aurelius’ hand and Lucius gestured for Draco to take Aurelius and leave the room. Once he did, Lucius wrapped his arms around his wife and she cried into his chest.

“Shh, it’s okay. Let it out," he whispered, rubbing her back.

“She’s gone, Lucius” she choked out.

“I know” Lucius knew how much his daughter’s death had affected his wife. Allora had died during a Quidditch game. She was knocked off her broom and had been in a coma for two months until her heart monitor went off. No matter how hard they tried, the healers couldn’t save the Malfoy Princess.

“Please Lucius. Just make it stop hurting” she sobbed into his chest. 

“We need to go out to the garden. The funeral should be starting” Lucius said cautiously. Narcissa took a deep breath and nodded, detangling herself from his warm embrace. She wiped her tears and looked into her husband’s grey eyes that she had fell in love with all those years ago.

“Will you stay by my side? For all of it?” she asked, suddenly feeling small.

Lucius looked at her reassuringly. “For all of it” he repeated and took her hand, squeezing gently and walking out of their dead daughter’s room. He didn’t dare look into it. He closed the door and walked out towards the garden. 

Towards the end of the garden, black chairs were lined up and at the front was a casket. There were two large photo stands with photos of Allora. People came up to the Malfoy couple and gave them their deepest condolences. Lucius and Narcissa made their way up the podium. They stood side by side and Lucius started talking. 

“Thank you all for coming today” Lucius spoke into the microphone and took a staggering breath in. “Allora was a very bright girl and the light of our family. She could make any bad situation and turn it into something funny. She was very mature for her age and was very friendly and outgoing”

Once the service finished, Draco, Lorenzo and his dad, Adrian, Mattheo and his stepdad, Elias and Lucius took hold of Allora’s casket and strode down the aisle, all six of them keeping in their tears. Narcissa, Pansy and Lucius’ sister, Artemis, following them. Aurelius was in Narcissa’s arms and was crying into her shoulder but he didn’t know why. He hadn’t quite understood why his sister wasn’t coming back yet. 

When they got to the Sacred 28 burial grounds, they went to the Malfoy’s chamber where the burial for Allora was already prepared. 

Narcissa was in tears, Draco had tears streaking down his face silently, Aurelius was hugging Narcissa’s legs and Lucius was holding Narcissa in his arms, holding back his tears. He had to be strong for his family, then he would cry for the loss of his princess. 

---

Narcissa woke up with a start and she was breathing heavily. She looked to her side and saw Lucius sleeping peacefully with Aurelius tucked tightly in his arms. She smiled tearfully and wiped her tears away before putting on a dressing gown and making her way to Draco’s room. She opened the door and he was asleep on the edge of his bed, about to fall off. She walked up to him and lifted him to lie properly and put the blanket back on him comfortably. 

She walked to Allora’s room and saw her hunched over her desk, papers and books under her. She smiled softly and walked over to where her daughter was asleep.

She kneeled down and hugged Allora tightly, causing her to wake up with a start. 

“Mother?” she asked. She kneeled down in front of her and hugged her mother back carefully. “Are you okay? Mother, what’s wrong?” she was starting to get worried.

“Never leave me,” she whispered. Allora sighed and nodded.

“I won't,” Narcissa nodded but kept hugging her. 

It was just a dream. She’s right here. She’s safe. 

[ilovemalfoys]

nightmares

Narcissa’s eyes shot open at the sound of a soft whimper. When she heard the sound again, her maternal instincts kicked in and she got up out of bed, half-waking Lucius in the process.

“Cissa?” Lucius mumbled, turning half-around.

“Shh. Go back to sleep. I’m just going to check on something” Narcissa whispered softly and Lucius nodded, mumbling something Narcissa couldn’t make out before turning back around and going back to sleep. Narcissa chuckled softly and put on her dressing gown and slippers before walking out the master bedroom. 

She opened Allora’s door first and saw she was fast asleep before closing the door again. She went to Draco’s room and he was asleep too, his arm hanging off the bed so she moved on to Aurelius’ room. 

When she walked in, he was laying in bed, sweating and tossing and turning. He had tears streaming down his chubby little cheeks and he was mumbling words as if he was having a nightmare.

“Relli?” Narcissa called softly but he didn’t respond, still stuck in his nightmare.

“I’m sorwy” he mumbled, crying.

“Poor baby” Narcissa murmured, walking towards his bed and wiping away his tears. He was still crying and muttering in his sleep. “Relli, wake up” she said, shaking him softly to try and lure him awake. 

All of a sudden, his eyes shot open and he looked around in confusion for a moment, before his eyes landed on Narcissa and he shot forwards into her arms. 

“Mummy!” he cried. 

“Shh, baby. It’s okay. Mummy’s here. You’re safe” she whispered as she stood up with him in her arms and paced the room.

“Bad drweam” he mumbled and Narcissa nodded, rubbing his back.

“I know, baby. I know. Do you want to sleep with mummy and daddy tonight?” she asked and he nodded immediately. “Okay” she said. 

“What was your nightmare about Aurelius?” she asked the five year old as they made their way to her room, but he shook his head. “It’s okay, baby. You’re safe. You can tell me” He was silent for a while and when Narcissa opened her mouth to speak, Aurelius started talking.

“You and daddy died, and Lorwa and Dway says it was my faults” he said and started crying again. At this point they had made their way to the bedroom and Aurelius’ cries had seemed to awaken Lucius, as he had been sat up straight on the bed, his face contorted in confusion.

“Daddy!” Aurelius cried as soon as he saw his father. He jumped down from his mother’s arms and ran to his father.                                                            

“What’s wrong with Relli?” Lucius asked Narcissa, as she got back into bed.

“Nightmare” was all she said, and Lucius nodded knowingly, comforting his youngest son. 

“Relli?” Lucius whispered when his cries had finally ceased to small hiccups. He had been pacing the room with Aurelius in his arms. Narcissa had gone to sleep after plenty of reassurance from Lucius that he would be able to handle the toddler. Before Narcissa fell asleep, she had told him what happened in his nightmare and Lucius knew Aurelius enough to know that he wouldn’t dare go back to sleep, no matter how tired he was.

“Yes daddy?” he whispered.

“Are you okay now?” Lucius asked. He nodded his head and mumbled a ‘mhm’.  “Can you try to go back to sleep for me?” Aurelius quickly started retaliating; shouting, kicking, shoving and crying.

“No! No sweep! I'm not sweeping!” he shouted.

Narcissa sat up in the bed woken abruptly by her son’s cries for the second time that night.

“What’s wrong baby?” she asked.

“I don’t wanna sweep,” he frowned. Narcissa looked at Lucius and nodded. She stood up from the bed and put her dressing gown and slippers back on before taking Aurelius out of her husband’s arms and placing him on the floor, putting her hand out as a gesture for him to take it.

“Let’s go find something for you to eat then. Is that okay?” Narcissa asked. Aurelius looked like he was thinking about it for a second and then nodded and took Narcissa’s hand and walked towards the kitchens.

When they arrived, Narcissa turned on the light and sat Aurelius on the counter.

“What do you want to eat?” she asked him.

“I wants pancakes!” he exclaimed happily. Narcissa sighed. 

“Of course he wants me to cook,” Narcissa thought. 

“Okay baby. I’ll make us some pancakes” 

Aurelius helped Narcissa make the batter (mainly made a mess but Narcissa didn’t mind) and once they finished making them, Narcissa knew it was worth it when she saw Aurelius’ face light up.  

“Tank you mummy” he said with a mouthful of the pancakes. When they finished, Narcissa left the dishes in the sink for the elves to deal with in the morning and went up to Aurelius’ room to clean him up for the night.

“Alright. You’re clean. You’re fed. Do you want to go lie down? You don’t have to sleep” Narcissa offered Aurelius. 

“Okay” he drawled and took Narcissa’s outstretched hand and walked with her to the master bedroom. When they got there, Lucius was fast asleep and Narcissa put Aurelius in the middle. 

“I’m just going to get ready for bed, and then I’ll come lie down with you, okay?” Aurelius nodded and got under the covers while watching Narcissa. By the time Narcissa was ready for bed, Aurelius was half-asleep and when Narcissa got under the covers, Aurelius snuggled up to his mother.

“Tank you mummy” he mumbled sleepily.

“For what baby?” she asked curiously while lightly scratching his scalp.

“For helping me wiv my bad drweam” Narcissa smiled softly and turned off the lights, the only light source the bright full moon shining in the sky, reflecting its light into the dark room.

“Mummy will always be here for you baby. I’m not going anywhere” she said and kissed the top of his head. “Now go to sleep baby, you’re overtired now” 

“Goodnig-” he was cut off by his own yawn and Narcissa chuckled quietly.

“Goodnight baby” Narcissa cuddled Aurelius up to her chest tightly. Lucius turned around and grabbed Narcissa towards him, pulling Aurelius between them.

“I love you Cissa” he said quietly, Aurelius had fallen asleep.

“I love you too Luce” Narcissa kissed him lightly before laying back on the pillow, Lucius holding his wife and youngest for the night.
