Narcissa felt like she had to sneak around Malfoy Manor. Odette was everywhere, making her feel awkward and implying heavily that she thought Narcissa should be in her room on her back making sure Lucius wasn't gay. All it did was make Narcissa promise herself that if she ever had a gay son, she wouldn't force him into marriage, or at least wouldn't try and get his future-wife to fuck him if she didn't want to. She just hoped her gay son was the second one and not the first.

At least she had her date to look forward to. Narcissa spent a while making sure she looked okay and then set out to meet Augustus, after making sure Odette wasn't around to comment on the fact that is Narcissa was going to dress up she should be doing it in Lucius's bedroom. Or something equally awkward and horrible. She took the Floo to Diagon Alley, brushing herself off and then walking towards the place they were supposed to meet for tea before doing whatever else Augustus had in mind.

	Augustus had a lot in mind. But, tea was first. He'd shown up in a tight t-shirt and a pair of denims, mostly so he'd fit in with the muggles at the place he wanted to take her. He smiled when he saw her approaching and took a step towards her. He held out the roses to her, her favourite kind, then nodded. "Narcissa. It's good to see you." (Reply to this)(Thread)

Narcissa smiled when Augustus held the roses out to her, taking the bouquet and then looking him over. He looked casual, but good. "These are beautiful," she said, looking down at the flowers for a moment and then back up at him. "It's good to see you too."

She leaned up, kissing Augustus's cheek demurely. "Roses are my favourite. You're doing very well on your first date so far. Where are we going?"

	"It's a surprise." Augustus told her with a shrug as he took her hand into his own and led her into Madame Puddifoots. He looked around the overly decorated place, with it's falling snow and christmas bells jingling in the background, then led her to a secluded table. "I had this one reserved." Augustus explained. "In case you had a problem with people seeing us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Narcissa followed Augustus into the cafe, smiling at the decorations. This was much better than making Evan take her here and then pretending he was straight. Augustus fancied girls. Her. And here they were.

She took a seat. "I don't mind," she told him. "As long as no one tells Mrs. Malfoy. She's worried about Lucius being gay. Which is fair enough, I guess. He is. But because she's worried every conversation she has with me is her telling me I need to use my womanly wiles to make sure he isn't."

	Augustus wrinkled his nose at that and shook his head. "The only way you'd be able to shag Lucius successfully is if you were with another man at the same time. And that would be miserable for you because they'd be touching each other the whole time and not you." He reached across the table and touched her hand. "I'd do it for you. If you wanted."

"You'd... have a threesome with me and Lucius?" Narcissa was pretty sure that was a sweet thing for Augustus to be offering, but it mostly made her think about having sex with Augustus, which made her blush. "I think it would be even more complicated that that," she said. "Because Lucius and Evan are dating, so Evan would have to be there too."

She smiled at Augustus. "I'd want to have you to myself first. Before I shared you with my boys." Narcissa turned her hand and linked their fingers together. "Eventually I'll have to... do things with Lucius. I need to have his heir. I've always wanted a big family, actually. Lots of children."

	"I want a big family too. I want a bunch of kids so they can all play together and never have to feel lonely." Augustus admitted and looked back at Narcissa. He brushed his fingers against the back of her hand, then sat back when tea arrived. "Feel free to order some cake." Augustus told her with a smile. "I'm sure you've eaten here before."

"I loved growing up with my sisters," Narcissa said. "Other than Evan, Bellatrix is my best friend." And she missed Andromeda, even if she didn't approve of her lifestyle choices.

She looked up and ordered a slice of chocolate cake to go with her tea. "I love it here," she said, smiling at Augustus. "It's one of my favourite places to come. Do you have any siblings?"

	"No. I'm an only child." Augustus shook his head and then took a sip of his tea. "Which is why I want a bigger family. I know how depressing it can be when all you have are your parents and your friends at school." "Chocolate cake?" Augustus asked. "That's my favourite. I also love the carrot cake here."

Narcissa didn't like the thought of Augustus being alone like that. She poured them both cups of tea from the pot. "I love most cake," she said, laughing. "I wish I knew how to bake, but we've always had house-elves."

She put some milk in her tea and then picked up the cup, taking a sip. "Do you know what you're going to do after Hogwarts yet? It's a lot closer for you than it is for me. Not that I need to think about anything."

"I don't think that's necessarily true. You have to worry about what you'll be doing after Hogwarts." Augustus pointed out as he looked back at her. "You'll have charities and organizations you'll have to work for. And to take care of children."

Augustus tapped his fingers against the table. "I wouldn't mind just living somewhere. Working for the Ministry like my father."

"I guess I have to think about it a little, but I already know what I'm going to be doing, is what I meant," Narcissa told Augustus, smiling at him. "I already know I'm going to re-do the gardens at Malfoy Manor as soon as Odette lets me."

She took a sip of her tea as the chocolate cake was delivered. "Where do you want to live?" she asked. "What does your father do?"

	"My father is an Unspeakable." Augustus admitted as he looked back at Narcissa. He took her fork and dipped it into her cake, then held it out to her mouth. "I'd like to work in the Department of Mysteries. I think it could be the most interesting thing I could ever do." Augustus smiled. "Maybe I'll tell you all the secrets."

Narcissa smiled at Augustus and then leaned forward and ate the bit of cake. He may have been huge, but he was adorable. She scooped up a bit of cake for him, holding it out. "It sounds interesting. I don't think you're supposed to tell anyone the secrets, though."

She tucked a bit of hair behind her ear. "Is it dangerous work?" she asked. "I'm going to worry about you if it is."

"My father certainly has his battle scars. But, that's what I'm into. Being dangerous." Augustus pointed out as he looked back at Narcissa and smiled. He dipped the fork into the cake and took a bite himself with a grin.

"My father has a scar that wraps around his entire body. And on his face." Augustus informed her. "It looks like a spinal cord burned into his flesh."

Narcissa was trying hard not to find the idea of scars... intriguing. That was wrong. She certainly didn't want Augusutus to get hurt, but the idea of a rugged man, covered with battle scars, doing dangerous things... She ate a piece of chocolate cake quickly, trying not to be too obvious about just how appealing that was.

"I'd want to nurse you back to health," she told him. "If you ever got hurt like that. Not even from when I had dragon pox."

	"You had dragon pox?" Augustus asked as he looked her over and frowned. "That's very dangerous. How old were you when you had them? My grandfather died of dragon pox. They didn't have a cure back then, after all." He glanced at his watch. "We've got fifteen minutes before the place opens I want to take you to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I was seven," Narcissa said. "Bella insisted on staying in the room with me and then she ended up getting infected too." She laughed a little. "I was sick for a while, but we both pulled through. I want my children to have that kind of relationship with each other."

She ate a last bite of cake and then finished her tea. "Are you going to tell me where we're going?" she asked. "Or is it still a surprise?"

"It's still a surprise." Augustus smiled and looked over her empty food. He took out his coin pouch and pulled out the money it cost for her food and then stood.

"I'll be apparating us to London. There's a show going on there right now I think you'll love." Augustus wrapped an arm around her and closed his eyes before he apparated them both to London, in the middle of a flower and butterfly pavilion. "Here we are."

Narcissa closed her eyes and pressed a bit closer to Augustus when he apparated them. When she opened her eyes, she gasped, looking around at the flowers and butterflies that surrounded them. "This --" She looked up at Augustus and laughed. "This is amazing."

She stayed close to him, eyes scanning the plants around them eagerly. "You're perfect. I can't believe how beautiful this is."

	"Don't go saying I'm perfect." Augustus teased her and snorted, hand moving up and down her back. He pressed a kiss to her forehead before he pulled back and glanced around where they were. "Come on. I know you like flowers." Augustus told her and took her hand into his own. "And we're in Muggle London. So no one knows who we are." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Narcissa had never been to Muggle London before. She grinned at Augustus, squeezing his hand and then leaning up and kissing the corner of his mouth. "This is perfect," she said. "I can call you perfect if I want to. Everything is so beautiful here."

She looked around and then started tugging Augustus towards a display of orchids. "This is even better than the greenhouses at school. Nothing here looks like it'll try and eat us."

	"That's because nothing here will eat you." Augustus promised her, then wrapped an arm around her waist. He held her close as they walked and looked at the orchids. "It smells really good in here." Augustus told her and glanced down at her. "What's your favourite smell?" (Reply to this)(Parent)

	cissi 2012-09-17 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Roses." Narcissa leaned against Augustus when he wrapped an arm around her, smiling and looking up at him. "Lilies are a close second. This place is wonderful. I wish I'd know about it before." She looked around again. It was like Augustus had found her version of paradise especially for the date. "But I'm also glad that you're the first one to bring me here." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Augustus smiled softly at Narcissa. He didn't think he was a good boyfriend. He knew he was going to be a bad one. But, he was trying. He was going to try his best for her. He smiled a bit and then leaned in, kissing her forehead again and pulling her close. "I'd buy you a million rose gardens if I thought it would make you happy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cissi 2012-09-17 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	Narcissa laughed. "I don't need you to buy me anything," she told him, shifting in his arms and wrapping hers around his neck. "I really like you, Augustus. This is amazing." She brushed her fingers through the hair at the nape of his neck. "You know you can kiss me, right? You're being a gentleman, but... I just want you to know it's okay to do it."
