dracoharry100Title: Slithering, a sequel - 68
Author: twisted_miracle
Team: death eaters
Word count: 100x2
Characters/pairings: Harry/Draco
Rating: Rated PG-13 today, NC-17 overall
Challenge: comfort
Disclaimer: They aren't mine, they belong to the clever Scottish lady. I just bend them and love them. Please don't smack me for playing. It isn't like I am going to earn any money from this!
Author's note: Comments are love!
Summary: Talking isn't always seamless and easy, but Draco thinks he did pretty well with his aunt, so why not bring in his mother?
Author's 2nd Note: This is a sequel to "Slither In," which starts here: http://dracoharry100.livejournal.com/286839.html
and ends here: http://dracoharry100.livejournal.com/460335.html
Author's third note: I am super excited to be able to announce that I have mapped out the entire rest of this plot! I now (finally) know exactly how this is going to go. I honestly haven't the slightest idea how many 100w segments it will take to get there, or how many weeks it will take to write them. That's the beauty and excitement of a prompt based system. But I know where I am going and how I am going to get there, at least in a detailed outline sort of way. My point is, the end of this arc is coming. I'd expect it... this summer? (From a Northern Hemisphere perspective of summer.)

Aunt Andromeda agreed, so Draco and Mother flooed over precisely at 3:30.
It was curious to see Mother taking tea with her suddenly un-estranged sister. She was a calculated balance of contemplative and warm, grateful and tremulous, nostalgic and aloof.
Aunt Andromeda, for her part, seemed perfectly comfortable to have her last remaining sister show up for tea on one day’s notice. But she’d probably realized this would happen when she’d allowed Draco into her home, so Draco thought that explained things.
Or it might be his Aunt’s superior inscrutability, he thought, watching them, and sipped his perfect tea.

“I am so glad we are all together,” Draco said as Andromeda took the second-to-last watercress sandwich. “I had a thought I wanted to check with both of you. An option for my future that I think could possibly be a very wise choice.”
They nodded at him, so Draco put his shoulders back and spoke to the air between them. “I thought I should switch over to taking correspondence classes, and not return to Hogwarts.”
“What?” Mother demanded, unusually loud.
“I’m not surprised,” Andromeda said at the same time, and Draco watched in discomfort as things devolved from there.
