She only saw Nacissa at meal times as Malfoy seemed to spend most of his time at the Ministry, but their interactions so far had been pleasant. Narcissa had a gentle demeanour and a sharp intellect. She spoke to Hermione like a guest. While they were both still guarded with each other, they had managed conversations that had revealed a common interest in travel and similar tastes in wine. Hermione had decided to enjoy the incredible selection of vintages at the Manor, and Narcissa had taught her quite a bit about the different varieties. She would request a different bottle for the table each night, explaining the different tasting notes and asking for Hermione's reaction. Narcissa would attempt to draw Malfoy into the chat, but he would just sip stonily from his glass.
