Chilly autumn #3

Chapter #3: The dinner

- Okay… I’ll fix this… And this… - A blonde woman said in front of a mirror.

She is using a tight black strapless dress, it barely covers her thighs but the thing highlights her big breasts, slim waist, her big rear, and also her long legs that are supported thanks to a pair of red high heels, the woman is in front of a mirror, she’s fixing her long blonde hair that was curled a little, and once she finished the last touches on her hair, she moved to her lips, she started to paint them with a crimson color.

- Okay that’s all… Damn girl, you still got it! – The blonde woman smirked after she said this.

She was fully concentrating on her thoughts when suddenly, she heard someone knocking on the door of her home.

- He’s here! – She said happily before she moved as fast as she could towards the door.

She was trying to not make too much noise, she didn’t want to show the person on the other side of the door that she was happy with the other person's presence, once she was close to the door, she stopped herself for a few moments, she fixed the last details, she lifted her already short dress, and then, she finally did it, she opened the door and there it was standing in front of her the person that she was expecting to come.

It was a raven-haired man, he looked calm, but the woman wasn’t thinking too much about that, she was staring directly at his face, he looked incredible, adulthood made him look better and now that he was dressed in a tight black suit that hugged his worked body, she couldn’t help but gulp, she remained in silence until the man decided to present her with a bottle of a drink.

- Hey Narcissa… I hope I’m not too early – He said casually while he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

The woman quickly shook her head to get out of her thoughts and then she shook her head once again to deny Harry’s idea, he wasn’t too early.

- Oh, welcome Harry… I’m glad that you're here tonight, I was kind of nervous thinking that maybe you wouldn't come – Said the older woman before sighing.

She decided to invite the younger man to enter into her home and he was amazed, the place didn’t look bad, it wasn’t as big as he thought it was going to be, but still, it had a great space and it was also decorated with green and black colors, it seems like she wanted to honor her Slytherin roots and her family’s name

- I hope you don’t mind the mess, we’ve recently moved out and we haven’t had the chance to fix things, we were a little occupied with the team and all that stuff – She said calmly before she accepted the bottle that he brought.

- I’m surprised, I thought you’d had domestic elves, or at least human ones – He said calmly and she quickly shook her head.

- No, after you told me what happened to Dobby I couldn’t bring myself to get more domestic elves… Lucius was their master back at Malfoy’s manor, after all, they wanted to follow him even if it cost them their lives, I didn't want that to happen if I got some for myself – She explained and Harry nodded sadly.

That memory of Dobby’s death was a very personal moment for Harry, if he managed to tell Narcissa about it, it means that he was going serious with her, he quickly shook his head and looked at his boss, he couldn’t help but gulp, she looked fantastic tonight and she realized that he was ogling at her.

- What? Do I have something weird on my face? – She asked the younger man even though she knew why he was looking at her.

She smirked internally before she turned around for him to see her rear, and once she faced him once again, she was happy to see that he was blushing, this wasn’t the thing that she wanted to happen tonight, not at all, but it helped to know that all her efforts dressing up weren’t a waste of time, Narcissa loved to cause great impressions on other people, so, this booster her ego.

Harry felt embarrassed, he was a married man and he was looking at Narcissa as a woman, he couldn’t deny that the older blonde is attractive, there’s no doubt about that, but still, that makes him feel that he's being disloyal to his family after Fleur forgave him for sleeping with her mother and sister, Narcissa is sensing that Harry is feeling guilty about this, and that worried her, she started to think that he might get away at any moment, so, she decided to get closer to him to let him know that everything was alright and with every step she gave, Harry couldn't help but gulp, and the moment when she was about to be in front of him, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

That got Narcissa and Harry out of their thoughts, Narcissa felt annoyed but she quickly went towards the door to scare the fool that dared to interrupt her moment with Harry, as for the younger man, he was surprised, he didn’t know that they were expecting someone to accompany them, he was thankful that her son doesn’t seem to be at home, that got him worried at first, he was convinced that he already knew about the relationship both of them had.

Narcissa opened the door with an angry expression but the person that was in front was wearing the same expression as her.

- Hey you what—Narcissa started angrily until she realized who it was.

It was a long, curly, brown-haired woman, she taller than the blonde, and she's wearing a white blouse and a black skirt that reaches her knees, she doesn’t look too pleased with the scene in front of her, but still, she’s trying her best to suppress the emotions that she’s experiencing right now.

- Andy! – Narcissa said surprised to see her older sister.

- Good evening Narcissa, I hope I’m not too late – The older sister said before she entered without Narcissa’s approval – Oh, there you are… I’m so happy to see you once again Harry! – The older woman surprised the younger man who smiled at her presence.

- Andy! – He said happily, he was relieved that Narcissa’s older sister was here.

He walked faster towards the older sister and hugged her, she helped him to dodge a spell, it was a dangerous idea to be alone with Narcissa.

- I didn’t know you were coming over – He said surprised to see Andy here.

- Really? Isn’t the purpose of this meeting talking about your contract? I hope Narcissa didn’t forget to mention to you that I’m in charge of the accountability of the team – Andy said sarcastically as she stared at her younger sister.

Narcissa blushed suddenly, she had been caught by Andy, yes, this meeting was about Harry’s contract but it seems like Narcissa wanted to do it differently, Narcissa didn’t say anything about that, she just remained in her seat while she waited for her older sister to say anything else.

- Harry, I’m sorry, can you wait here for us? There’s something I need to discuss with my clumsy sister – Andy said with a soft smile and Harry couldn’t help but gulp and nod.

Andy is Nymphadora’s mother, who is also one of Harry’s best friends, that’s why he knows that when Andy smiles like that it means that something bad happened, he realized that when Nymphadora was appointed as his personal guard after his third year, it seems like her mother threatened her to not seduce the younger man and she had that exact same smile when she did that.

Narcissa stared directly at the floor as she followed her sister towards the kitchen, once they got there, Andy grabbed Narcissa’s chin to make her face her, and the older sister looked angry.

- Are you going to tell me what were you planning or do you want me to speculate? – Asked Andy angrily.

Narcissa couldn’t help but feel guilty, she had been busted doing something stupid and dangerous.

- I can’t believe it Narcissa… He’s already married for God’s sake – Andy massaged her temples after she said this.

- I know – That’s the only thing Narcissa managed to say.

- You already know? Gee, thanks, that makes me feel safer, you know about that information that was covered by every paper in the world! I think that it’s safe to leave both of you alone, right? – Andy asked sarcastically.

Narcissa couldn’t help but feel offended, she wasn’t liking the way her older sister was talking to her, but still, Narcissa couldn’t find a way to refuse what her sister was implying.

- Andy… You’re overthinking this too much… There wasn’t going to be any signing tonight, we were just going to discuss things and I was going to tell you everything tomorrow… By the way? How did you know that I invited him? – Asked Narcissa trying to distract her sister a little.

- That was too easy, you were acting weird all day and I decided to ask your secretary if for some reason Harry visited you and she confirmed my suspicions and once she told me that you wanted an appointment at your favorite’s beauty saloon, well… The rest was easy to figure out – Andy said proudly of her skills as an investigator.

But then, the older sister quickly realized what her younger sister was trying to do.

- Don’t change the subject! – Andy was getting angrier and angrier.

- I swear to you Andy that the intention of this meeting it's about work, there’s nothing more than that in this meeting, I swear it – Narcissa tried to make her older sister understand.

Andy didn’t say anything, she remained with a stern expression and was staring directly at Narcissa’s eyes but after a while, and suddenly she just sighed.

- This is what I feared the moment when you told me that you wanted to buy this team – Andy massaged her temples after she said this.

Narcissa was silent for a while until she decided to get closer to embrace her sister.

- I’m sorry – Said the blonde on the verge of tears and that made Andy feel a little guilty.

The older sister embraced the younger one and they remained like that for a while, neither of them said anything until they decided to separate, and once they did it, Andy decided to grab Narcissa’s cheeks to look directly at her eyes.

- You did something very stupid Narcissa… But there’s no point in going back now – Andy stated – Okay, this is what we’re going to do… We’ll have a nice quiet dinner and then you will have alone time with him to talk about it – Andy remarked the last part.

Narcissa tried to look confused at what her older sister was implying, but Andy wasn’t buying it.

- Don’t give me that glare, I know that you understand what I’m talking about… You two need to talk about what happened four years ago – That was an order nor a suggestion.

- But sister—Narcissa started but she was quickly stopped by Andy.

- No buts here young lady… It’s time for you two to discuss it, so you can move on with your lives and work efficiently with the team – Narcissa closed her eyes and nodded, she was ready to go back with Harry but Andy stopped her once again – You need to tell him about it – she started and Narcissa tried to look confused – Don’t give me that, it’s hard to hide it Narcissa… You need to tell him about it, he has the right to now – The blonde gulped after she heard those words.

Andy didn’t say anything else, she just took her younger sister’s hand and they got back with Harry who was smiling once he saw them get back with him.

- I’m sorry Harry, we needed to check what my sister cooked, it seems like it’s ready! – Andy said happily and Narcissa nodded.

- Great… Let’s go, I’m a little hungry – Harry said and both women led him to the kitchen.

Using magic, Narcissa managed to serve what she was cooking, it was turkey, she sliced some pieces for each one and she served them with baked potatoes and steamed vegetals, there was also pasta, they ate in silence, they just commented about the delicious food but they didn’t say anything beyond that and once they finished, they moved towards the living room to discuss the agreement.

- That was nice Narcissa… You're still amazing when it comes to cooking, that was delicious – Harry admitted and Narcissa couldn’t help but blush.

- I’m glad you enjoyed it, Harry, I worked hard for that! – The blonde said cheerfully.

- Yes, not bad, but I taught her everything she knows about cooking – Andy said mockingly and the blonde just sent a glare to her older sister – Well, let’s get going with the important stuff.

Harry nodded and after that, they decided to accommodate in the living room, Andy put on her glasses and she decided to take out some papers, she handled a copy to Harry, this was part of the new contracts that each player needed to sign.

- Okay Harry, this is what’s going to happen, the previous administration offered you eight hundred gallons per month for two years – Harry nodded – We’re offering you twelve hundred per month for five years and it can increase, all depends on your performance on each game – Harry nodded after she said this.

Narcissa and Andy were surprised to see him so thoughtful and serious, he was reading his contract and he hasn’t said anything, he continued like that until he finally decided to say something.

- Okay, the contract it’s not bad, but there’s something that worries me… Are you going to get rid of some of my teammates? – Asked Harry with a serious expression.

Both women were caught by surprise by that question, it was a secret that they were trying to avoid getting leaked.

- Look, Harry… The previous administration made so many mistakes that led them to sell the team, one of those things was renovating players that weren’t good enough for the team—Narcissa tried to explain.

- Then I’m not signing it… I can’t work in the same way without my mates – Harry commented before handing them the papers back.

- Harry—Narcissa was about to say but suddenly, her wand started to glow.

Andy looked at her sister and nodded at her.

- I’ll take care of it, don’t worry… I’ll come back soon – Andy moved and left the two of them alone.

- Harry please, you need to understand that we’re not a charity, we need to get results and some of those players weren't their best during the last season – Narcissa said and Harry couldn’t help but agree with her, she was right.

It was her business and she needed to take care of the finances, still, it didn’t mean that he wanted to see his friends go, he wanted to find a way to solve this.

- There needs to be another way to make this work, Narcissa – Harry was dead serious about his concern.

Narcissa was about to say something, but then, the door of the living was opened suddenly.

- Wait! – Andy screamed as she chased a small figure that went straight towards the living room.

Andy was chasing a raven-haired girl with green eyes, she was flying around the place, it seems like she was levitating herself using magic, and the girl just stopped once she landed on Harry’s lap, the little girl was laughing and in Harry's case, he wasn’t understanding what was going on right now.
