Chapter Twenty Harmony stared in shock at her mother. “Delilah?” she asked. “Delilah,” Narcissa confirmed, smiling gently. There was silence, which Draco broke. “Wait… HARMONY IS MY SISTER!?” his face was bright red, which looked very weird with his blonde hair. “AND YOU DIDN’T TELL ME!?” Harmony looked at him. “I didn’t know, Draco!” she said. “I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry…” “YOU DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE WHEN I BROUGHT HER HOME TO STAY FOR THE HOLIDAYS!?” Draco yelled, his face going more purple by the minute. “SHE STAYED FOR NEARLY A MONTH, MOTHER! HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE KNOWN?” Narcissa, surprisingly calm, turned to him. “Well, I did wonder who she was,” she admitted, “but I never guessed she might have been my little girl. The girl,” with a meaningful look at Lucius, “that supposedly died in a fire twelve years ago.” Draco and Harmony stared at each other. “I dated… my own sister?” Draco asked, his face a mixture of shock, horror and confusion. “Yes,” said Dumbledore. “Quite weird, but neither of you knew. Now, of course this complicates matters. She will have to be removed from the Orphanage…” “What makes you think we’ll be taking her back?” Lucius asked, his face a mix of anger and guilt. “Of course we will!” Narcissa shot back. “You think I’m going to lose the daughter I wish I had for thirteen years?” Harmony collapsed into a chair. //I didn’t want this to happen, I wanted to know who they were… but having Draco as my brother… and Lucius as my father… and they didn’t want me at all…// she broke out sobbing. “Oh Delilah,” Narcissa walked over and put her arms around her daughter, rather stiffly it was true. “She’s coming home with us.” said Narcissa firmly. “Thankyou, Dumbledore. Lucius, Draco, Delilah,” with a small smile, “come.” Lucius glowered at Dumbledore and Harmony, before sweeping out of the office, Draco on his heels. Narcissa extended her hand to Harmony, who took it, and they walked down the stairs together. After picking up Harmony and Draco’s bags, they walked to Hogsmeade, and Lucius took Draco’s arm, turned on the spot and disappeared. //Apparition,// Harmony realized, before Narcissa squeezed her arm, turned, and they suddenly were in Malfoy Manor again. Harmony shivered. Lucius swept out of the room immediately, Draco standing uncomfortably by the doorway. Narcissa smiled gently and squeezed Harmony’s arm again. “I know you’ll want to write to your friends,” she told her, “you have an owl, don’t you?” “Yes,” said Harmony a little shyly. “Well then, go up to your room, and write them each a letter,” Narcissa smiled and disappeared into another room. Harmony slowly climbed up the stairs and went into the bedroom that she’d had last time she was here. She shut the door behind her and sat down on the bed. //I’m a Malfoy//, was her last thought before she burst into tears.
