Draco immediately went still. “Does this have to do with…my boss?” he asked, tone stiff.

Harry automatically placed a hand on the small of Draco’s back, which seemed to soothe him.

Narcissa blinked, her expression gentling. “No. This has to do with family.”

“Oh.” Draco frowned. “What about family?”

Inclining her head as if listening, Narcissa smiled. “I believe you’re about to get your answer.”

“Mother, we don’t have time for games,” Draco snapped. “If you’ll just tell us, so we can be on our way—”

“Hawwy! Dwaco!”

Both Harry and Draco turned to see Teddy running towards them.

“Teddy?” Harry had seconds to brace himself before he was tackled. He lifted Teddy, groaning as he did so. “Merlin, you’re heavy.”

“I’ve gwown,” Teddy said solemnly.

Harry smiled. “Clearly.” He looked around. “Where’s—?”

“Hello, Harry, Draco.” Andromeda, looking serene, sailed in. “Cissy, I can’t seem to summon an elf.”

“Oh, I’ve yet to assign you one.” Narcissa clapped her hands and an elf appeared. “Boopsy, you’re now assigned to Mistress Andromeda. Obey all her commands as if they were mine.”

“Mother, what’s happening?” Draco asked.

Narcissa beamed. “Andy’s agreed to move in. We’re to be a real family again!”

Devious move, now with Teddy in the Manor, Harry will be forced to come by more often and so Draco as well. She really doesn't stop at anything to prohibit her son from living his own independent life.

Andromeda of course doesn't see this, or she simply doesn't care, after all she seems to be happy to have her sister back. But I doubt that Draco will be as happy as Narcissa no doubt thinks he should be.

Should my mother try to manipulate my partner or I in that manner, I think I would break with her. And I love my mother to pieces! But she would have never tried to tie me to her in such a manner. It is suffocating!!!

My instictive wish for Draco would be to just get up and leave, but Harry won't allow that.

I think what irks me so much here is the implication that you are not real family, unless you live under one roof. But adult children need their space and time without their parents,
