Queen Of The Basilisk (M.O.M Book 2)

7

I return back the Malfoy Manor just as the table is being set, I walk over the the house elves that were working. "Dobby when will dinner be done?"

"Dinner will be ready at the hour misses." I thank him and he bows. I walk to my room and step into my apartment. I go straight to my study, feeding Astara and Accius as I go. I sit down and pull out a piece of parchment as well as a quill and write two letters. One to Radhiork to let him know to go ahead with the rings as well as a list of design ideas. The other was more of a note then a letter.

Dear Padfoot, 

I know the truth about what happened that night and I will prove your innocence.

Will meet you soon.

Love Mini Prongs. 

Sanguis tibi, quid opus sit vobis.

Radhiork had informed me that letters were allowed to be sent the those in Azkaban. But only letters. meaning I couldn't send a parcel but that didn't mean I could add a small touch of my own. I prick my finger and draw a drop of blood before pressing my fingerprint onto the bottom corner of the paper. 

I cast a quick spell that would allow me to send things directly to his cell when he touched it. For example food, water, warming charms and even books and papers to catch him up on the outside world that he missed. It would also act as a barrier to stop the dementors from doing any further damage to his mind. I also made sure to write the clue out in Latin as not many people knew it enough to actually read it and if they did they would just assume it was a family saying.

I place a picture of me and the guys laughing in Greece as well as a picture of me and Remus that I took today, we were both smiling while holding up half eaten chocolate bars, both went onto the parchment before I folded it up making sure not to crease the pictures. I place into the envelope before sealing it shut with black wax and a star stamp that should his constellation. I write his name on the front before spraying my perfume over the top. Not enough to make the ink bleed but enough the Sirius could memorize my scent when he was in his animangas form. I place the letter for Radhiork into the box and send it off to him while I pick up the other and go fins Accius. 

When I reach the small owl I clip the letter the the carrier that was around his ankle and he hops onto my arm happily. I stroke his feathers as I step out of my trunk and back into the room where Draco was waiting for me. "There you are. Dinner's ready" I smile and turn back to close the trunk only to stop when Astara slithers out. 

~I heard the mention of food!~ I chuckle at the sleepy tone to her voice and she follows after me ~Dinner time~ 

~Can blonde carry me?~  

~you can try~ "Dragon, Astara wants you to carry her" 

"Of course I can little Star" I watch as he crouches down and placed his palm on the floor letting Astara climb over him happily. "I never thought a snake could be so spoiled" I smile at the two who had bonded. Turns out Astara was a shared familiar. It was ever rarer then a bonded familiar. I basically meant that while she was truly bonded to me she could create a small bond with another human that she saw as family. That human being Draco.

"I just need the send this off, I'll meet you at the bottom" He nods and walks off talking to Astara as if he could actually understand her. "Come on boy, I need you to take this to Azkaban for me." He hoots once and nudges his head under my chin before flying out of the window I opened for him. I wasn't worried about him getting hurt since Dementors never went after animals. Plus even if they did Accius was protected with a charm around his neck that would give off the same light as a Patronus to keep them away if they got too close.

When I can no longer see him I keep the window open for him and go downstairs where Draco waited with his arm out as he always did. I place my hand on is arm and give a little curtsey. "Kind sir" I put on a fake posh accent that makes us both smile while Draco plays along. His parent watching on in amusement. "My queen." He bows over dramatically making me put my hand out to stop Astara from slipping off his shoulders. She hisses at him but we can all tell that she doesn't as she does her equivalent of rolling her eyes. We both laugh as we walk over to the table.

Dinner was amazing. Narcissa and Lucius were so much nicer and I could tell that Draco was still weirded out by how affectionate his parents could truly be. When we were done Draco and I went to bed early. Before I could walk into my room Draco grabs my wrist to stop me. I turn around and face him "What is it?"

"I just wanted to thank you. You gave me my parents back and I don't know how I will ever be able to thank you" With that he pulls me into a bone crushing hug and lets me go before go to his own room that was across the hall from me. He wishes me goodnight before he closes the door and I repeat it back. 

Astara waited for me at my feet quietly not wanting to interrupt before she becomes in patient and nudges my leg with her nose. I roll my eyes at her before I scoop her up into my arms and walk into the room.

~I'm leaving the window open for Accius. Do you want to sleep in the apartment so you don't get cold~

~Yes please~

I place her in the trunk and let her find her own way while I get changed into my nightdress. I cast a warming charm on the bed sheets to keep out some of the cold. I snuggle down into the bed green silk bed sheets and fall asleep.
