Draco gave a nod and led them toward the house. The house itself was grand, but didn't compare to the Malfoy Manor. The yard itself had a sprawling garden and a brick pathway lead the way to the door. Draco used his wand to light the way.

He was glad that Remus came along, grateful that he would be there to help ease the tension. After giving a knock, Narcissa happily greeted them and gave Draco a quick hug. She had placed one one of her better outfits and made sure everything was neatly in place. Nothing could hide the strain and exhaustion that lined her face.

"Thank you for stopping by," Narcissa greeted when she turned to focus on Melinda. There was no haughtiness in her tone and she kept an impassive expression. She didn't say anything Melinda's appearance. "I am Narcissa Malfoy and this is my husband Lucius Malfoy."

Off to the corner, Lucius was sitting in a recliner. Naricssa had made sure that he was properly dressed and cleaned up as well. He had placed a book that he was reading, down as they were ushered in. His grey eyes carefully studying Melinda. He gave a curt nod, making it clear he was not too pleased with the arrangements.
