Chapter 1
Hermione was there in complete shock, seeing the blonde woman in front of her with obvious surprise.
-Miss Black. -said the cleverest witch of her age.
-Miss Granger? -the other woman says more as a question.
-I'm afraid that Andy is not here. It's just Teddy and me. She needed a nanny, so I volunteered.
-OK, she didn't tell me that she couldn't receive me today. Can I pass?
-Oh, yes sorry. Please, come in. Probably she forgot it. She was so nervous. I understand her, truly haha
-Pardon? I don't understand. Where she is?
-Oh, damn. I thought that she said that to you. Ok...she's on a date with Professor Snape.
-With whom? Andy and Severus? -said the blonde witch. Unbelievable.
-Yeah, I'm surprised too. Andy was the healer of Professor Snape at San Mungo. They connected in that time. They're good people so, deserve to be happy. I'm glad that they could find each other.
-The same as you Miss Granger, or now I've to say, Miss Weasley? -the woman says the final last name with a disgusted gesture.
-Granger. The newspaper lies. We aren't a couple with Ron.
-Wow, Molly must be devastated.
-Yes, but she understood better than Ron that we couldn't be something more than friends. He's with Lavander now. I'm happy for him.
-The head of the golden trio, the cleverest...and compassionate girl of her age. I must add.
-Haha no. But it's ok. I'm fine with my loneliness. And you?
-Probably you read that with Lucius, we are divorced. So, like you, I'm fine with my loneliness too.
-Sorry.
-Sorry for what? I'm happy that our marriage is over. Because I couldn't handle such a minute more with that man.
-Ok, so...good for you.
-Yes. So, where is Teddy?
-He's in the backyard playing with his new broom. Harry gave it to him for his birthday. Andy is crazy about it because she caught him playing in the living room.
Narcissa smiled and Hermione lost her conscience just for a second. The other woman was beautiful, even more than a Veela.
-Poor Teddy, I'm sure that Andy punished him.
-Oh yes, she did.
-Aunt Cissa!!! A little boy with blonde hair shouted.
-Teddy! Oh, you're so big and handsome-Narcissa said, seeing that the little man copied the color of her hair.
-Excuse me, I'll go to the kitchen just for a minute.
-Ok. -Narcissa responded to her and gave her a little smile. Divided her attention between the little metamorphmagus and the brunette.
-You came! -the four-year-old boy was so happy about her visit.
-Yes, I promised you so I came.
-Thanks Aunt Cissa. Do you know Aunt Mione?
-Yes, I know her.
-She's cool, right? She always knows everything I ask her.
-She's the cleverest witch of her age, you know?
-Hum hum. Nanna and Harry told me. She even is beautiful, you know? A witch whom I forgot her name, who works with Hermione, said that. But Nanna and Harry didn't say anything. Do you believe it too?
Hermione was returning to the living room with a cup of tea for Narcissa and herself, cookies, and milk for Teddy until she heard that. The other woman probably wouldn't respond to Teddy's question. Is she beautiful under Narcissa Black's eyes? Yeah, and Crookshanks can fly...for sure...
-Yes, she is, darling. -Narcissa says looking into her eyes with an undescribed emotion.
-Here you have -Hermione tells her, giving her the cup of tea.
-Thanks.
-Teddy come here. It's tea time.
-Thank you, Mione.
-You're welcome, buddy.
-So, Miss Granger...
-Hermione.
-What?
-My name, is Hermione. -the brunette witch says.
-Oh ok, Hermione. I heard that you're working on a big project right now.
-Yes, I'm looking to convert some old laws about payment and work regulations with the French ministry. It's been hard, you know? They're so stubborn on...oh sorry, I'm just talking too much.
-No, please, is ok. I asked you. Tell me.
-Ok. A French colleague, Juliette, and I are working on it.
-Juliette is the girl that told you that you're pretty the other day?
Narcissa looks at her, waiting for her response. Hermione was nervous. She was thinking "Thanks dear Teddy for making me ashamed in front of your aunt"
-Yes buddy, she is.
-So, how I was saying...
-But she is your girlfriend? Because she is pretty too but I don't like her for you. Someone that I know is even more beautiful.
-No, she isn't. Oh, right now I'm wondering who is more beautiful than her. I know her?
-Yes.
-So...? Tell me, I am intrigued. -She said smiling, thinking that he would say his grandmother's name or Ginny's.
-Her -Teddy says pointing his head at the blonde woman next to him. -Aunt Cissa, who more-saying the last thing with an air that it was obvious.
Both women remained static before the little boy's words. Until the blonde said:
-Miss Granger, no problem, you don't have to answer.
-No, it's fine. I think that...
-Cissy, you here! -Andromeda said entering her house.
