She looked to her husband for confirmation. The only response she received from him was a blank shrug and a dark glare, mostly directed toward her alleged niece. But the resemblance was so striking, it was as if she was looking at Bellatrix from a couple of decades ago.
She clasped a hand over her mouth, with tears forming in her eyes. Narcissa bypassed the hand that was shown to her and walked slowly to Mariæth at first, and once she was standing directly in front of her, embraced her. "Bella has a daughter...I can't believe this." She pulled away to look at her. "How old are you? Why wasn't I ever notified of this? She...nobody has ever told me about you! Oh my dear," she ended, clearly at a loss for words.
He put his hands up in silence and made a move to return to his study. Before he left, he shot one last quick glare at the girl and continued walking. Lucius wanted to threaten her, badly. Unfortunately he couldn't do so for two very good reasons.
1) Narcissa was in the room and would be more giving to her niece, whom Lucius refused to acknowledge as his own relative as well.
2) This little girl knew the Unforgivable Curses just as well as he did. He couldn't use them though because of course, his wand was long gone.
'What would Draco have to say about all this?' he wondered.
