Narcissa was the first to arrive and she swooped in to hug Hermione fiercely. It was still strange sometimes to think of the motherly relationship Hermione had found in Narcissa. Both women had lost someone during the war. Narcissa loved Lucius despite his many flaws. Instead of losing herself to grief over her husband, she had chosen life in the end. Once she had returned to England it had taken a long while for her to settle in the new world without her husband or the home in the Manor she had always known. Hermione invited her mother-in-law to dinner for the first time, which had turned into a weekly thing. Followed by weekly breakfast outings just for Hermione and Narcissa. Draco had been very uncomfortable about this bit but saw the reason that the two most important women in his life should form a bond as best as possible. Which they had, as Hermione had grown to care for her mother-in-law. And the sentiment was mutual. Narcissa could never be a replacement for the parents Hermione had lost. But she was a nice supplement to the world and family Hermione and Draco attempted to build together.
