Astoria wasn't one to waste her time doing pointless things, but on this particular evening there was nothing to be done of any importance. The lounge of Malfoy Manor was in complete silence other than the ticking from the clock, which gave a comforting feeling. Dark shadows were slowly creeping into the room like a huge storm cloud, and a gentle breeze about the place caused the candle to flicker and dance gently. Mrs Malfoy hadn't bothered turning on any of the lights as there was no need for it, and the soft glow of candles gave a better feeling to the lonely room. Perching herself on the edge of the grand sofa, the blonde woman took the crystal glass from the table in her hand and began swirling the red liquid inside in small circles. The effect was almost hypnotizing, but strangely relaxing, which caused her to sit back and let out a content sigh as though she'd just been let out of tight chains that bound her to a particular position of sitting. She wondered vaguely where Scorpius was, as he hadn't been around all morning as far as she was aware, and neither had Draco, but he was often away and showed nothing new. Slowly, Astoria began to swirl the red wine in her cup a little faster, watching as it endlessesly danced in a constant circle.
