Letitia looked down at what she was wearing, it was her formal dress, but casual at the same time. She wanted to look nice for the gathering, after all it was holidays and her and Draco's mother had caught up durring Letitia's volenterance at St. Mungo's, and she hadn't looked that nice, so she wanted to make up for it.
Her and Draco had been friends since she was very young, as her grandfather was a Death Eater, but now dead thanks to her mother and father who had became traiters, but no-one had known that except Letitia and her family, and they kept that a secret, so they thought Letitia should be in Slytherin. And when Mrs Malfoy starts critisising, it's very hard for Letitia to bite her tongue and keep it that way as she was friends with Hermione Granger, because her grandmother had wanted Letitia to keep an eye on Hermione, so she could keep an eye on Harry Potter, who Letitia never liked.
She apperated to just outside the door of the Malfoy mansion, as the gates door was open, and knocked on the door, waitin for the poor house elf to open the door.

Narcissa was sitting by the window of the study as usual, just watching the world go by as it seemed. With her small glass of wine in hand, she had spent alot of time it that spot ever since her dear Lucius had gone missing once again. She knew all too well it was the dark lord to blame, however she never mentioned this infront of anyone, no one at all, in fear of ruining her reputation or sounding like that of a traitor. Lifting the crystal cup delicately to her lips, she took a silent sip before placing it gently onto a small tray which was being carried at the time by their new house elf.
In the silence of the room, the knocking of the front door startled her quite a little, causing her to raise her head quite quickly. Relaxing a little only moments later, she nodded to the house elf, wordlessly ordering it to answer the door to whomever was there. Expecting it too be someone of importantance, Narcissa rose from her seat and checked her appearance in the mirror. No matter what the situtation in the Malfoy's lives, looks were everything too the outside world. Something her mother had taught Cissa as a child was to always respect how she looked.
Heading for the study door, Narcissa walked slowly and gracefully into the grand hall, where she awaited the guest to arrive in the room after being shown in by the serving creature. Whilst waiting, she patted one of her blonde curls, making it fall into it's place, once again looking perfect, as it should.

As the door opened, Letitia screamed in her head for the elf. All he was wearing were rags, and it broke her heart to know any type of magical creature had to work in codditions like this, and having to live with Lucius Malfoy, the one person that never, EVER liked her...besides Harry ofcourse.
"Thankyou" Letitia said to the houself, while she walked into the Malfoy Mansionf or the first time in a year...at least. Letitia put on a fake smile as she was led to supposingly where Mrs Narcissa Malfoy was. She stoped and fixed herself all the way up those stairs, wanting to look presentable for Narcissa, she hadn't seen Draco yet, which was quite a worry as he used to be the first person to see, but then again that was ages ago since he had been here the same time she was, and back then, they didn't have fights even when they were alone.
Letitia still hadn't admited to herself that their relationship was a reck, and that she should just give up on it, but she couldn't...she just couldn't. Letitia held her breath as she finally knocked on the door once the Houself walked in, leaving her by herself, she walked in though, knowing that she was probably dumb enough not to follow the houself the whole way and through the door.
"Mrs Malfoy?" she said, walking, after fixing herself for the gazillionth time

Putting on a friendly smile, the best she could manage at the time, Narcissa turned at the sound of the voice. "Letita, Darling! How lovely to see you once again dear!". Keeping her smile on her face, Cissa walked towards the girl, her curls bouncing around her shoulders. Although it wasn't a good time, Narcissa was trying her hardest to seem friendly and welcoming. After all, not having Lucius around should not make a difference to how she acted. Although in a way, it did make her a little nicer than usual. She'd even given the house elves a second meal instead of their normal table scraps.
Unsure of whether the wizarding world knew of her husbands dissapearance, Narcissa decided not to bring it up, just incase. In honesty, she was glad of the company that night, pleased that she wasn't alone again. Draco had been extremely busy recently and they hadn't spent alot of time together to talk or otherwise. "I expect you are here to see Draco?", She asked, walking forwards into her study again, expecting that Letitia would follow, "He will be back soon, then you two might have the chance to catch up".
Sitting down once again in her usual seat, Narcissa waved her hand carelessly towards an empty chair, neatly positioned infront of the fire. "Do sit down dear, Tell me how you've been lately?". Hoping that her sadness and worry was not being shown in her voice, she kept her false smile upon her face, making sure to look happy and welcoming as Draco had explained to her. Act as if nothing is happening, and everything is as it should be. What she must do, keep doing and always do.

"Is this a bad time?" Letitia asked, "Because I could come back later" Letitia said, then when Narcissa continued, Letitia was forced to abandon the question for just then. "Yeah, kind of. I just wanted to see you, I mean, its been an entire term since I saw you in the Hospital, so I just wanted to say hi. ANd me and Draco..well I was hoping to sort things out with him, Because I'm not sure whether he told you or not, but we've been a bit...of a wreck I guess is the right word, alot of fights so far, and I really have no idea. And we had a very serious one too, so I was hoping to catch him"
As she continued she held back all of her fear, and sorrow. "Do you know where he is. Because, it looks as though you want to be alone, so I can go meet him if you want?" Letitia brought up again.
The last time she had talked Draco, was at the Room of Requirement, and she herself was late, try half an hour late. And the last time she had seen him, was on the train, but they stayed away from eachother

Narcissa half frowned as Letitia explained the fall out between her and Draco, it wasn't exactly something she was expecting to hear, neither had she already know. "Oh darling, Draco never mentioned a thing! Tell me, what happened between you two?" She asked, keeping the attention on Letitia as much as possible, Cissa wasn't risking letting anything out.
As she asked of the whereabouts of Draco, Narcissa let out another soft sigh from her red coated lips and leaned forward in her chair, picking up the crystal cup, which was now empty, and looking about the room for the house elf. As it came running towards her, seemed somewhat frightened, she did something that surprised her just a little. "Could you get me another drink, Please?". Yes, Narcissa had just said please to a house elf. Lucius wouldn't have liked it one bit, however he wasn't around - likely to be the reason for her kindness. She then looked up to Letitia, an obviously sad smile across her face.
"I honestly don't know where Draco is right now, Dear. He left a while back, sometime this morning and I'm not sure where he went. Maybe he'll be back soon... I hope".

Letitia took a deep breath. "Well, I don't know. I guess since the 5th year we were starting to argue in public, and then I guess I started it, see. I've gotten prefect that year, and me and him were aloud to stay out, so we arranged to meet each other in the Room of Requirement, also known as the come and go room which the DA meetings were hold in the very same year. And the real fights begun, we were yelling at each other for no reason. I mean, we're still friends, but not as close as we used to be" Letitia held back the tears, but her eyes were shining with the tears still in her eyes, but she put a smile on.
She was glad she didn't put any mascara on, and she only put water-proof eyeliner on instead, that way her checks wouldn't be stained with black. And the tears could be noticed. She wanted Draco to come in now
