Chilly autumn #10

I'm sorry for not posting lately guys, I had some difficult tests that took me even days to do because they were too hard, and also, I haven't been satisfied with the things I've been writing lately, they didn't meet my quality standard!

Chapter #10: A chance

Nymphadora was in the living room in the house of her best friends, they were in complete silence, it was true that there was something important that they needed to discuss, it’s a little strange that just a few moments ago, Nymphadora, Harry, and Fleur were having sex like crazy as if there was nothing else on the world for them than get their own share of pleasure.

- Okay guys, I know it’s not my place to get into this but… You’re my best friends and this is something that also has something to do with a special person for me… My little cousin – Nymphadora sighed after she said this.

Harry and Fleur nodded, Nymphadora’s reasoning was understandable and they didn’t blame her for getting into this situation, still, it was a little weird, Harry just had sex with his daughter’s cousin, in an alternative timeline if he somehow would have married Narcissa, he would be referring to Nymphadora as his niece.

- I didn’t want to talk to you two about it because I know it’s not my place but… Mom insisted you know? – Nymphadora sighed – What I’m trying to say here is that… Please, Harry, don’t abandon her, it will be a shame if she somehow ends up like Malfoy, don’t you think? – Asked the metamorph and Harry couldn’t help but chuckle.

Fleur was in silence, she didn’t know what to think about this situation, something was bothering her since the moment she heard that her husband had a child with another woman, she felt guilty to feel like that because the little girl didn’t have any fault in this situation, still, Fleur was quite annoyed to be in this situation, it was very complex, and that’s the reason why she was trying to avoid talking about it, but she knew that she had to do it, sooner or later.

- What do you think about this situation, Fleur? – Asked Nymphadora, sensing that her best female friend was a little thinking about the situation.

That was an interesting question for Fleur, it doesn’t matter the way she feels right now, she knows that Harry will choose his daughter no matter what, she knows him too well, and yet, she’s proud of that attitude of his because he knows that if somehow something happens to her, their child will be safe with him, there’s no doubt about it.

- Well… I feel weird, to be honest – Fleur confessed.

- That’s fine… This was a shock for everyone, trust me, when my aunt appeared at my mother's front door when we arrested my dear uncle, Lucy, I wasn't giving credit at what was happening – Said sarcastically the metamorph before smirking – She suddenly appeared on our front door with her son and also, with a baby on her arms – Nymphadora smiled softly as she remembered the first time she saw her little cousin.

It was incredible, the first time Nymphadora saw that little girl, she couldn’t help but love her, it was a strange connection, it was the daughter of her aunt, a person with whom she hadn’t had too much contact in her life, just a few times on the ministry and those times were full of sarcastic phrases and insults against the other.

So, when she heard that the father’s child was Harry, it all made sense to her, once she knew that information, she knew why she liked the child too much, Nymphadora got serious once again and looked directly at Harry’s eyes.

- I know this is too hard for you Harry… But there’s nothing for you to worry about, she’s an incredible child, a prodigy I must say… A great future awaits for her, but it all depends on you… A father figure is very important in a child, especially for a girl, trust me – Nymphadora stared at the ground – My father wasn’t bad, but I don’t think he was a great example, he was a wonderful man… But he was always being dominated by mom, it seemed as if he didn’t have any opinion about everything, my mom was practically in charge – Nymphadora smirked – I guess that’s why I wanted to do the same with Remus, I wanted my relationship to be like the one my parents had – The metamorph smiled weakly.

That made Harry think, not that it was too complicated for him, the situation was strange, suddenly he was having fun with Fleur, her sister and mother, he was hopeful about his future and the baby that growing inside Fleur’s belly but now, all changed, he was uncertain if things were going to work.

- As for you Fleur well… I’m not asking you to accept her but I just want you to think clear… She doesn’t have any fault in this, not even Harry is guilty here… Maybe the only one who is to blame here is my aunt but… She disappeared for a good reason and I’m glad she did it, if she didn’t I’m convinced that she and her daughter would have been killed… Lucius is crazy guys, trust me – Nymphadora was serious right now.

Those words caused an impact on Harry, he knew that Nymphadora was right, everyone did logical things, Narcissa did everything she could so she and her daughter could be safe, blaming her for doing that was logical, and those times were difficult too, the war was over but Voldemort had many followers still and many of them weren’t locked and they were searching for revenge against Harry and his loved ones, to think that something might have happened to his daughter makes him feel angry.

- I don’t know the way Fleur is going to react to this, but… I promise you that I won’t abandon her – Harry said with a serious expression before he looked at his wife who didn’t change her expression, she was thoughtful.

Fleur was trying to think clearly, she was analyzing the arguments and all the opinions that were voiced these past few, it didn’t make sense for her to not let him see his daughter, but she was worried that Harry might still harbor some feelings towards Narcissa.

- Well, Harry… The more I think about this situation I’m realizing that I’m not against the idea of you seeing your daughter, I mean, that’s fine for me – Fleur closed her eyes for a few moments, and then she looked at the raven-haired man once again – But… There’s something that really worries me and that’s the fact that you’re going to spend more time with Narcissa – Harry was confused by these words – Oh come on Harry… You were obsessed with her for many years, it took me a long time to make you understand that you needed to move on and I think you tried your best to do it… But there’s still some attachment from you towards Narcissa – Fleur caressed Harry’s cheeks – And I know that you swore to be faithful to me, but… We are weak to our desires Harry, and also the fact that she’s your boss and the mother of your child worries me a little – Fleur said as she looked everywhere but her husband.

Harry was going to say something, but Nymphadora just sent him a glare and he quickly understood what she meant by that look, he nodded, and then he backed down.

- Fleur… I know this isn’t easy but don’t worry… That’s why I’m here – Nymphadora got close to her best friend who was on the verge of tears.

Nymphadora took Fleur’s cheeks and then she smiled at her, Fleur was getting calm little by little, the metamorph was still smiling softly at the blonde witch whose mood was changing quickly as she was being embraced by Nymphadora.

- every time Harry visits her, I will be with them, don’t worry – Nymphadora smiled.

And for some reason, those words were making her feel better, she trusted in Nymphadora, she knew that she was a great friend that is always willing to help her and she rarely seeks something in exchange for her good deeds, she’s a true friend and she trusts her own life to the Auror, she knows it’s safe with her.

- Really? – Asked calmly the blonde and Nymphadora nodded.

Those words made Fleur feel happy too because that means that her husband was going to be able to see his daughter, that was the conflict that the veela was having since she heard the news, it wasn’t hard to understand that it wasn’t the fault of anyone, that’s why Fleur felt a little guilty because she wanted her husband to see his daughter.

- Yes, don’t worry… I’ll be there every time they’re together – Nymphadora gave her thumbs up.

Harry watched the scene stunned, he was surprised by the ability that the metamorph possessed to make another person feel good, the way she managed to convince Fleur to do something that she was having doubts about was incredible.

Fleur continued hugging the metamorph who continued comforting her, in a moment, Harry and Nymphadora’s eyes caught each other, the metamorph smiled at the younger man who smiled too.

A few hours later.

Harry and Nymphadora were walking through a little path made of stones, they were getting closer and closer to the home where Harry had some fun with Narcissa and Andy the last night.

The younger man was dressed in a white shirt, black shorts, and white shoes, Nymphadora, on the other hand, was wearing black boots, blue tights jeans that had some cuts, and a tight purple blouse, she was also using black glasses to make herself look cooler.

Harry and Nymphadora were walking and neither of them said a word, they didn’t know what to talk about and even if they knew, she was convinced that Harry wasn’t going to cooperate too well, he seemed too nervous, they were already outside of the house.

- Come on Harry… You look as if you were going to get eaten tonight and that’s something that will not happen, well, at least for me… I’m not sure if Malfoy thinks the same – Nymphadora chuckled before she got Harry close to her by his using shoulders and that caught the younger man by surprise, he was too worried at the moment but there was nothing that he could about it, so, even if he wasn’t ready, he gave Nymphadora the signal, and then she knocked.

Harry was very nervous at the moment, nobody worked today in his team not even the ones in the offices, so, he was convinced that Narcissa was here and that was something that worried him, but well, as long as Nymphadora is at home, he knows that he doesn’t need to worry about Narcissa and her attempts to seduce him.

And suddenly, the door was opened but it wasn’t by Narcissa, Harry was a little disappointed because of that, but still, he smiled once he saw that it was Andromeda.

- Harry! Nymphadora! – The older woman said before embracing them even if her daughter was annoyed due to the name her mother call her – Please come on it! – Andromeda said before she took them towards the kitchen.

- It seems like you really got my message… Thank god – Andy said to her daughter.

- Yes mom… It’s not like I was doing something strange, I was just visiting my best friends to drink something due to my divorce – Nymphadora said in a tone that made people feel the need to help this person.

- I’m glad you finally left that poor excuse of wizard… I have never met someone so hopeless like him in my whole life – Andromeda looked annoyed right now.

Nymphadora couldn’t help but sight, her mother’s talks were a little annoying sometimes, especially when it's about Lupin, she wanted to forget about him, and her mother didn't want to shut up about her ex-husband.

- Yes mom… You were right in the end, is that what you wanted to hear? – Asked Nymphadora as she massaged her temples.

- That’s not the way I wanted to hear it… I need you to look more secure of yourself… Come on darling, don’t look so grim – Andy tried to make her daughter smile.

But that wasn’t working and Nymphadora was getting more and more annoyed, she wanted to get out of here she wanted something to happen so the attention could move from her disaster of a marriage and then, something happened, another person appeared.

- I’m sorry guys… But Little Lily couldn’t find her… - The blonde woman paused once she realized that Harry was in the kitchen – Bunny plush – She finished and she couldn’t help but gulp, she was feeling the tension that was on the place.

Narcissa was caught by surprise, she was dressed casually, she was wearing a green blouse that was hugging her body, including her breasts that weren’t restricted with a bra, she was also using a pair of black tight shorts and white sandals.

- Hello Narcissa – Harry greeted her in a polite tone.

That surprised Andy and Cissa, the older blonde was expecting him to yell at her or to come just to tell her to leave him alone, but he looked calm and not angry at all of seeing her, but she was feeling nervous the moment Harry got on his feet and walked towards her, he was getting and closer and that was worrying the older woman.

- Oh look at you… You’re adorable! – Harry said happily as he looked at his daughter.

The little one suddenly forgot about her stuffed animal, it was supposed to be her most precious possession, and yet, once she saw Harry, she couldn’t help but smile at him, the little girl was extending her hand and that quickly got Narcissa out of her thoughts.

- I’m sorry Harry… It seems like Lily wants you to take her in your arms! – Narcissa smiled at the younger man who was surprised.

- Can I really do it? – Asked the raven-haired man and the blonde woman nodded happily at him.

Harry didn’t have to think twice about it, once the proposal was done he was already mentalized to do it, he was handled his daughter little by little, he was being careful to not throw her on the floor.

- Come on Harry, don’t be shy – Narcissa tried to make him take control of the situation.

- I-I’m sorry Narcissa, you know that I’ve lived with muggles my whole life… Back there you have to be careful or else the baby might die landing on the floor, they don’t float like magical babies – Harry chuckled before he finally took his daughter in his arms.

And the moment that happened, he felt as if something magical has just happened, father and daughter were staring at each other with loving eyes, there was nothing else in the world for them than staring at each other’s eyes, they had the same color after all, they recognized each other.
