Royal Summons

Harry raised an eyebrow. “Er, excuse me?”

Draco crossed his arms over his chest. “We aren’t your subjects to be commanded, Mother,” he said flatly. “We’re adult men who are under no obligation to obey your…royal decree.”

Clearly taken aback, Narcissa blinked. “Dear me, I suppose I did sound rather demanding just then.” She sighed. “I didn’t mean to command—”

“Nevertheless, you did,” said Draco.

Inclining her head, Narcissa exhaled. “I apologise,” she said stiffly. “I’d appreciate it if you would both accompany Kreacher to the Manor.”

Harry and Draco exchanged a look. Finally, Harry nodded. “We’ll consider it.”

Drawing her wand, Narcissa levitated Kreacher towards her. She turned towards the Floo, then hesitated. “I can send an elf to clean this place—”

“Mother, please!”

“Sorry.” Entering the Floo, Narcissa waited until Kreacher was in, too, before saying, “I hope to see you both soon.”

Once she was gone, Draco exhaled, his shoulders sagging. “Sorry about that. When Mother gets difficult, she often begins acting like she’s royal.”

Hugging him, Harry said, “It’s okay.” He chuckled. “This place could use tidying up.”

Draco sighed. “Do we have to go?” he whispered.

“No.” Harry tightened his grip. “It’s your choice.”

Well, thank you!!!! I am so glad Narcissa got told off! And I dare hope that they let her stew for a while longer. That apology did not sound heartfelt and more like.. OK I say sorry then they will obey me again. Draco needs to prove to her that he truly is grown up. Looking forward to the next installment.

well how about meeting in the middle. They can meet on neutral ground and her royal highness can impart her oh so important news then. If she is not willing to swing her royal arse to Diagon Alley then I would say the news can'T be that important ;)
