Ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment Narcissa has been waiting for.
Fucking 4 years
December arrived, bringing with it more snow and an avalanche of tasks for the f
ifth-year students. Homework piled up, while Cassi and Draco also had to deal with their responsibilities as prefects, which became more intense with Christmas approaching.
They were called to supervise the castle's decoration, which included dealing with the constant criticism from the Bloody Baron, the Slytherin ghost. Draco began to grow annoyed with the ghost's complaints but Cassi tried to calm him down, reminding him that they would be going home soon.
In addition, they were also tasked with taking care of the younger students, the first and second years, who spent their breaks inside the castle due to the intense cold. The young Slytherins proved to be quite polite, which relieved Cassi, as she wouldn't have the patience to deal with a younger version of Draco. She admired Narcissa's patience; the woman deserved an award for not going crazy.
Another task for the prefects was to patrol the corridors, alternating shifts with the caretaker, Argus Filch. He suspected that the holiday spirit could lead to an increase in dueling among the wizards.
Furthermore, the meetings of the D.A. would have to be interrupted during the holidays, as almost all members would be spending the break with their families. Cassiopeia and Draco planned to visit the Malfoys, which worried Sirius. However, he trusted Narcissa, which reassured him somewhat. Even though Cassi's mother hadn't replied to any of his letters, she continued to send sweets and love notes constantly. Cassi was concerned about the lack of communication, but there wasn't much she could do at the moment except wait and trust in her mother.
Cassiopeia was happy to receive letters from Tonks, who inquired about her life at school. She replied enthusiastically, asking questions about Tonks' work as an Auror.
With her bags all packed and Morgus in the carrier and Seraphina stubbornly coiled around her, Cassiopeia headed to the Slytherin common room. Draco was smiling excitedly.
"Finally, Mum will stop pressuring me to invite you!" he said, clearly pleased with the situation.
Cassi just laughed, acknowledging Narcissa's persistence over the past four years.
After bidding farewell to Minerva, Cassi went to say goodbye to her Gryffindor friends. But her smile faded as she saw the expressions on their faces. Ron asked incredulously if she was really going to join the Malfoys. Hermione looked awkward, playing with her fingers and avoiding direct eye contact with Cassi. The atmosphere grew tense.
"You better watch your tone, Weasley," Cassiopeia warned in a growl.
"You're just like-" Before he could finish the sentence, Cassiopeia cut him off, pointing her wand directly at him.
"The next time you unjustly accuse me, it will be the last time we'll be friends," Cassiopeia coldly snarled, without saying another word.
She ignored the apologies from Hermione, Ron, and Harry as she left. She was tired of being accused of betrayal without credible reasons.
When the train stopped, she felt a slight nervousness take over. She realized she would spend the holiday season at Narcissa's house, and a shiver ran down her chest.
She tried to convince Seraphina to enter the damn carrier, but the snake refused and remained firmly coiled around her neck, murmuring something about 'I have to protect you' or something like that.
There stood Narcissa.
She was among the other parents and relatives, with an elegant posture and an impeccable dress, not to mention her broad smile.
As soon as she saw Cassiopeia, her smile intensified even more, if possible. Draco practically ran to her and hugged her tightly.
"I missed you so much, Mother," he said with a smile.
"I missed you too, my dragon," Narcissa replied, squeezing Draco in a tight embrace until he started to feel uncomfortable.
"Enough, Mum, enough. I need to breathe," he playfully begged, and Narcissa rolled her eyes.
"It's good to see you, Mrs. Malfoy," Cassi said with a playful smile. Narcissa's smile disappeared and was replaced by a frown.
"Since when did you go back to 'Mrs. Malfoy'?" she asked, looking deeply offended.
Cassiopeia couldn't help but laugh at the adorable pout the older witch made, looking hurt.
"I'm just teasing, Narcissa," Cassi pursed her lips with a mischievous smile.
"Come give me a hug," Narcissa asked, and her smile quickly returned.
Cassiopeia didn't waste time and hugged her, feeling the familiar electricity between them before calming down. Feeling bold, she whispered softly in the woman's ear, "Maybe you prefer 'mistress' instead of 'Mrs.'", with a mischievous smile.
In response, Narcissa tightened her grip around her waist and pulled her closer. "Don't tease me, little girl," she coldly growled against her ear, and Cassiopeia felt a shiver run through her body in response.
"Shall we?" she asked as Draco returned with the rest of the luggage.
Both of them held her hand, and then they apparated. Cassiopeia felt slightly disoriented before recovering.
"Are you alright, dear?" Narcissa asked with concern.
"Yes, just lost my apparition touch," Cassi explained with a smile.
(...)
The Malfoy Manor rose imposing and majestic, standing out on the horizon with its Gothic architecture. It was an impressive construction, with gray stone walls and tall windows that seemed to watch all visitors closely.
Upon entering the mansion, it was impossible not to be impressed by its grandeur. The corridors were spacious and richly decorated, with fine tapestries adorning the walls and crystal chandeliers casting a soft and bright light over the surroundings.
Narcissa snapped her fingers, and Winky, a small house-elf, appeared instantly before them.
"Winky, could you take the luggage to the guest rooms, please?" Narcissa asked, inclining her head gracefully.
"Of course, ma'am. Winky will do it gladly," the elf responded with enthusiasm before disappearing with a pop.
Draco, leaning against the staircase railing, inquired about his father's whereabouts.
"At the Ministry, he hasn't been home in weeks," Narcissa replied, rolling her eyes with a bored expression.
"Welcome, my dear. I can't believe you're finally here," her voice overflowed with excitement, and she had a sparkle in her eyes.
Cassiopeia found the reaction absolutely adorable.
"Thank you very much for having me. The place is truly charming," she expressed with a sincere smile.
Narcissa, brimming with enthusiasm, grabbed Cassiopeia's arm and led her up the stairs to show her the guest room.
"Come, come, I'll show you your room," she said excitedly. Then she turned to Draco with a motherly tone, "Draco, go wash up for dinner."
He wore a mischievous smile on his lips as he glanced between the two women.
"Sure, Mum," he replied, rushing up the stairs.
Cassi followed Narcissa through the corridors filled with portraits and paintings that seemed to watch them with curiosity as they walked. The walls were adorned with ancient tapestries depicting scenes of battles and magical figures. The soft and golden lighting emanated from the sconces, creating a cozy atmosphere.
Upon reaching the guest room, the double doors opened, revealing a spacious and elegantly decorated space. The walls were painted in soft shades of pale blue, conveying a sense of tranquility. White silk curtains adorned the windows, allowing gentle sunlight to enter.
The four-poster bed, with emerald green linen sheets and delicately embroidered quilt, occupied the center of the room. Around it, there were upholstered armchairs and a small mahogany table, where books and fresh Narcissus flowers rested in a delicate porcelain vase. A soft and plush carpet covered the polished wooden floor.
"Narcissa, this room is simply charming," Cassiopeia exclaimed, marveling.
"I'm glad you liked it, my dear. I redecorated it for you," she said softly.
Cassiopeia shrugged off her leather overcoat, feeling it slide between her fingers. Seraphina grumbled with discontent at being awakened from her peaceful slumber.
Upon seeing the snake, Narcissa's eyes widened so much that they seemed to pop out of her skull, her face expressing a mixture of surprise and curiosity.
When Cassi noticed the woman's reaction, she couldn't help but let out a spontaneous laugh.
"Don't worry, Seraphina is harmless," she joked, as the snake coiled around her, contesting the statement.
Cassi laughed even more at the serpent's reaction. "She's just been a bit temperamental lately. As for Morgus, it's true that he possesses powerful venom, but don't worry, he's extremely well-behaved and obedient."
However, Narcissa's expression still revealed some uncertainty, and Seraphina seized the opportunity to play with it, emitting a peculiar sound that resembled laughter, making Cassi laugh even more.
"What's wrong?" Narcissa asked, now visibly annoyed.
"Seraphina said you don't need to be afraid; after all, she doesn't have legs to chase after you," Cassi replied amidst laughter, observing surprise and amusement take over the older woman's face, her mouth agape in an expression of fear mixed with fun.
"Draco mentioned that you were a Parselmouth, but I didn't expect to witness it," she said, approaching with curiosity.
"What kind of snake is this?" she asked, her gaze fixed on the serpent's vibrant colors.
"Seraphina is a Boa Constrictor Constrictor, a boa," Cassi explained gently. "As a 'boa' species, she's not venomous and kills her prey by constriction."
Narcissa seemed fascinated, carefully observing the elegant curves and exuberant colors of the snake. Curiosity sparkled in her eyes, mixed with a hint of caution.
"May I touch her?" she suddenly asked, showing some nervousness.
Cassi smiled widely, surprised and delighted by the request. Apart from Pansy, no one had shown interest in interacting directly with Seraphina.
"Seraphina, is that alright?" Cassi asked the snake, who nodded her head, equally surprised.
Narcissa carefully extended her hand, gently approaching the snake. Sensing the friendly intention, Seraphina extended a bit of her body, allowing the woman to softly touch her silky scales.
Narcissa let out a light exclamation of surprise and admiration as she felt the unique texture of the snake's skin beneath her fingers.
Cassi carefully took Seraphina off her shoulders and passed her gently around Narcissa. The woman's expression oscillated between a slight shudder and an enchanted look.
"She's so beautiful," she sighed, her eyes fixed on the serpent that elegantly slithered around her body.
Seraphina seemed to enjoy the proximity with Narcissa and conveyed her thoughts to Cassi, affirming that she liked the woman and considered her approved.
Cassi laughed and promptly explained to Narcissa what Seraphina had said.
"She's very happy with your company, and she thinks you're equally beautiful. It seems you've hit it off."
Narcissa seemed even more enchanted upon hearing the words.
Then she looked around, curious about the other mentioned snake. Cassiopeia picked up the carrier that was next to her, a special box with an expansion spell to ensure that Morgus had enough space and all necessary amenities.
Squatting down, she opened it with a spoken password. Knowing that Morgus was a venomous snake, she took extra precautions to prevent accidents with unsuspecting people.
And then, a majestic Egyptian Cobra, the Naja Haje, slithered out, gracefully exploring the room. Cassiopeia affectionately called to him, and the snake climbed onto her arm.
Narcissa was left speechless upon realizing the type of snake Morgus was. Her eyes filled with admiration and a certain amazement.
"Draco summoned him in the second year. Snape intended to harm him, so I stopped him," Cassi explained. "Now we're great friends. Can I add their terrariums?" she asked, looking around.
"Of course, darling," Narcissa said, trying to snap out of her stupor.
Cassiopeia felt a comforting warmth as she saw the snake terrariums promptly added to the room. She made sure that each of the snakes was properly accommodated and comfortable in their temporary home. Turning to Narcissa, she smiled with gratitude. "Thank you. It really means a lot to me that they feel good here. No one else has shown genuine interest in them, so having your support means a lot to me."
Narcissa approached lovingly, gently caressing her cheek. Then she gave Cassiopeia a chaste kiss on her lips. "They are wonderful, dear. It's fascinating to see the special bond you have with them. I'm glad to have them here."
Cassiopeia closed her eyes and a broad smile spread across her face. She had been waiting for this moment since she stepped into the Malfoy mansion.
"What was that?" she asked, amused by the reaction.
Still smiling, Cassi bit her lips lightly, trying to control the laughter that threatened to escape. "I was wondering when I'd have the pleasure of feeling your lips again," she replied with a hint of mischief. "It was about time."
With a swift movement, Narcissa pushed her, causing her legs to fold, and she fell onto the soft bed. Cassi propped herself up on her elbows, trying to regulate her breathing.
Still smiling, Narcissa leaned slightly over her, her dual-colored hair cascading around her face. Her lips curved into a seductive smile as her eyes roamed over the young witch's body with intensity.
"Always so bold," she whispered, her voice filled with lust. "I prefer when you behave like a good girl, but perhaps I can find a use for that impertinent mouth."
Cassiopeia felt a shiver run down her spine. She momentarily lost herself in the intensity of the matriarch's gaze, feeling the electricity that always surrounded them. Her eyes sparkled playfully.
"How?" she taunted with a mischievous smile.
Narcissa's lips covered hers without any hesitation. She felt the older woman holding her face, encouraging Cassi to part her lips so that she could slide her tongue against hers, Sweet Merlin...
It was like heaven.
She began to grow confident in what they were doing, and gently bit Narcissa's lower lip for a moment before pulling it, allowing it to return to its place before sliding her tongue into her mouth again. Narcissa moaned, her fingers closing in the young witch's hair as she pulled her closer enough to feel their breasts pressing against each other.
Feeling Narcissa's lips start to explore her neck as she pressed against her... Then Cassi pulled away, and Narcissa audibly whimpered, her breath coming out somewhat irregularly as she lamented the loss.
"Draco is coming," she said breathlessly, her cheeks very flushed.
"Merlin," Narcissa gasped. "What do you do to me, girl?" she said incredulously, with her chest heaving.
"Me?!" Cassi wanted to object, but then Draco called for them.
"We're coming, Ferret," Cassi said louder.
When Draco descended, Narcissa raised her eyebrows at her. "Ferret?"
She couldn't contain her laughter.
