RP: Christmas Eve at the Manor
Date: 24 December 1998
Characters: Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco Malfoy, Pansy and Oren Parkinson
Location: Malfoy Manor
Status: Private
Summary: One big happy family. Er...
Completion: Incomplete
Narcissa stood by a window next to the Christmas tree, holding a cup of hot wassail between her hands. The day was clear but very cold. There had been a dusting of snow when she woke up this morning, and it had reminded her of the white Christmases at Achernar in her childhood. Things were so different now, but Narcissa thought they were all doing fairly well in this new world. Perhaps next year she would once again be able to have the kind of lavish ball she'd become used to.
For now, though, just a small family gathering felt more appropriate. Though they had all been together last year, they'd hardly been able to truly enjoy each other's company. And the Parkinson children; who knew whether their parents would live to be released from Azkaban? The poor things. Besides, all going well, Pansy might someday be considered family, as well. Narcissa smiled at the thought and sipped her drink. Yes, at least some things might be salvaged.
