“Stay at their place and do their bidding?” A smile spread on his face as he wondered whether he wanted her to win, or for him to win. Being taller than her, he had longer strides, which gave him an advantage. What kind of man would let his obvious advantage allow him to beat a girl, especially his own girlfriend, well, fiancee. “Yes I’m ready.” he rplied with a laugh, taking off his shoes too since she dropped her shoes too, just to make it fair. “Ready….Go!” He dashed off, only to start slowing down halfway, wondering if she could overtake him soon.

“You heard me, Malfoy!” she retorted as if it were a challenge. Well…to be fair, it was a challenge. Still, the prize was quite…handy in a way. If Narcissa won, she’d have to think of something mischievous to do that involved Lucius. As he prompted the “go,” Narcissa took off, giggling wildly as she and her fiance started running against each other. At the midway point, she noticed Lucius begin to slow his pace. ”What?” she asked, passing him. ”Running out of breath already?” She laughed again. He did overtake her at the beginning, but she wanted to push herself determinedly as well. Which was a pain in the ass once she started rising up the hill.

Lucius laughed, looking out at the garden. “A race? Very well.” He took her hand and let her to have a better look at the garden. “First one to the top of the hill over there?” He pointed to a hill, “What would the winner get?” He teased, always did put a bet whenever they raced anywhere. It was silly but Narcissa and himself were extremely giddy these days with their proposal and all. He was sure the families wouldn’t be surprised if they announced it to them, but they were focusing on the elder black sister first.

Narcissa’s smile turned into a full-on grin. ”You’re on,” she told him as he specified their destination. ”Ah…” she sounded, thinking up the winner’s prize, tapping the side of her mouth with her index finger. ”Winner has loser stay at their place for a week and submit to their bidding,” she answered, cheekily. Now, how their parents would react to that…well, that was a different story, indeed. ”Are you ready?” she asked, kicking off her shoes and picking up the skirts of her dress.

Lucius laughed as he was showered with kisses repeatedly without a pause. He knew Narcissa would be delighted, but he hadn’t realized just how much she was. After all, they had known they were going to be together for the rest of their lives, the ring was just solid proof. “Took the words right out of my mouth.” He grinned, lifting her off the ground with a tight embrace, “I will love you and cherish you forever, protect you with my life.”

She absolutely felt that she was the luckiest girl in the world. ”Forever and ever,” Narcissa murmured. She never thought to call herself ‘Mrs. Malfoy.’ But so many of the grownups had speculated that it would happen someday—while they were still little kids. Narcissa never understood it, not until last year. It was just the two of them. He knew all her secrets, and she knew all of his. Except…for what was going on in the war and his involvement on one of the sides. ”Come on,” she said. ”Let’s go have a race for old times’ sake.” There was a glint in her eyes as she looked at him. The garden was spacious, leading out to grassy hills and fields.

A huge grin was on the young Malfoy’s face, but before he could slip the ring on, he felt her hands leave his before her lips crashed into his. With a laugh, he pulled back and stared dotingly at her. “I know you’re excited love, as am I, but could I please make it official with the ring first?” He chuckled, brushing his thumb against her cheek. His eyes never leaving hers as he took her hand, and slid his ring onto her finger. “I love you,.” He kissed her, this time with more passion.

Narcissa grinned and nodded her head rapidly. She looked down at the ring, her heart beating so fast. Lucius kissed her again and she threw her arms around him. She kissed him repeatedly and excitedly jumped up, her legs coming off the ground for Lucius to hold her. ”I promise to love and cherish you forever,” she vowed, even though they weren’t getting married just yet and they weren’t standing in front of a priest. All that mattered was that he was there, and he would always stay with her.

“I believe I am going to take you ring shopping.” He sighed helplessly, “If I were to give you a ring, of course I would want it to be a ring that you would love.” He grinned before pulling away, “However, I’m not sure when we will do that so… in the meantime” He reached in his pocket and took out a small box, hesitant since he was nervous to how she might like the ring, “Because I don’t want any other bloke to crowd around you,” He sat her down on her bed before getting down to one knee, holding out the box, revealing a ring, “Would you marry me, Narcissa?” He asked, even though they planned to do so anyways, but he wanted to ask her in a more formal manner.

She smiled in nervous anticipation at his actions. Here he was, Lucius Malfoy, on bended knee just for her. But their proposal was far different from how she imagined it. At least it was just the two of them. They weren’t being watched over by hovering familial figures. ”Lucius Malfoy,” she began, looking at him. ”I will be so happy…and honored…to marry you,” Narcissa replied, trying to keep herself as calm as possible. Inside, she was bubbling with joy. Lucius was the man of her dreams, her best friend who knew her inside and out—he was everything to her. Before he could slip the ring on her finger, she too knelt down on the ground in front of him, taking his head in her hands and firmly planting a kiss on his lips.

“No matter the costs,” Lucius cups her chin, brushing her soft skin with his thumb, “I’ll protect you, Narcissa. You know I will…” He smiled softly, his heart clenched when he wanted to tell her about his involvement, yet it wasn’t the right time to reveal the secret. But when would it be the right time? When the Dark Lord decides to waltz in to their doorstep? “Everyone gets the jitters. But we’ll have one of the most memorable weddings, it will be perfect.” he chuckled, knowing how much the women loved to plan their weddings. “No, no. I was just curious.” He brushed it off, mentally scolding himself since he knew that Bellatrix could keep a secret well hidden, so would the Lestranges brothers. Revealing everything to Narcissa will happen eventually, but until they decide when, it was mutual understanding that she must not know anything

She believed him with all of her heart. Still, something felt different about him. Narcissa knew Lucius wasn’t going to tell her, and she couldn’t ask him any further about it. ”I still haven’t even planned it yet,” she whispered. A year ago, he teased her that she might have been one of those girls who had planned their wedding from when she was five years old. She told him she didn’t. And it was still true. She wanted him. That was all that mattered. The details of the wedding ceremony itself were probably best left to Caroline and Druella anyway. ”So…are you going to take me ring shopping or, erm, have you finally brought a ring for me?”

He wrapped his arms around her, resting his head against hers. “I still love you nonetheless, Narcissa.” He chuckled, silently promising that he would be there for her forever. He knew the war was arising and it was only a matter of time before he had to tell Narcissa. He knew of her sister’s involvement, as well as the others she had mentioned, with the Dark Lord. Not entirely agreeing with his choices, but it was the smart choice, as advised by his father. The Dark Lord was a powerful wizard and it would be idiotic to go against him.

Lucius merely nodded when she spilled her thoughts to him, half expecting her reluctance to join the ‘dark’ side. “Has Bellatrix mentioned anything else?” He asked, wondering if her sister had mentioned about his involvement. Although he didn’t want Narcissa to know, but he would rather have her hear it from him instead.

Narcissa was, in all honesty, none the wiser of Lucius’ involvement with the Death Eaters. This was something that Bellatrix knew about but had also been keeping from her younger sister. Where the Death Eaters were concerned, it was secretly decided that Narcissa would not be involved…at least not until the time came. And besides, Bellatrix was already a formidable Death Eater—a female quickly rising up the ranks behind the scenes.

“I love you, too, Lucius,” she replied, a small smile on her face. ”I’m just worried that something’s happening that we’re not going to be able to stop.” She shook her head and chuckled lightly. ”Maybe I’m just getting wedding jitters.” And perhaps that may have been the case. But she knew she wasn’t going to give her heart to anyone else. “No,” she answered. “My sister hasn’t said anything. Is there something I should know?” Still, she couldn’t help but have this sinking feeling that there was so much going on that was beyond her control, and it wasn’t a good thing, either.

Narcissa and Andromeda|No blood of mine

Thu, 16 May 2013 00:41:38 -0700

bandromeda:

Stepping into her old room brought so many memories rushing back. How she would stay up late at night, under the covers with a flashlight looking at muggle magazines Ted had given her whilst everyone else slept. How she would sit in the window’s sill and watch the night sky. Standing at the window, she drew back the old curtains as she stared out of it, glancing at the field she and her sisters would play in while their mother read on the porch. Finally her gaze broke and she walked her way to her old closet, pulling out some of her robes and stuffing them into a box before charming them to fold themselves neatly. She packed a few things that lined the walls and some of her under garments—this was all she needed. The old house was silent, but she was sure one of her sisters were around. Just as she was about to leave she heard footsteps down the hall and she froze.

Narcissa had walked down the hall that housed the rooms of Bellatrix, Narcissa herself, and formerly Andromeda who had been kicked out of the house some time ago. Bellatrix had taken a flat of her own but of course still had a permanent room inside their parents’ manor. So Narcissa was the sole occupant of this hallway, for the most part. It was lonely and quiet. She couldn’t wait until the day she would marry Lucius Malfoy. Too preoccupied with her thoughts, she nearly missed a minor detail had she not slightly tripped over the rug in front of a door that was a little bit ajar. This was Andromeda’s room. The keyword being was. Curiosity got the better of Narcissa, as she slowly pushed the door open and let out a yelp once she’d seen the figure inside. ”What in the hell are you doing here?!” she remarked snidely.

As they walked down the hallway and out to the gardens, Lucius glanced over at Narcissa, wondering what was wrong. He wanted to reach out and take her hand, but decided against it when she appears to want to keep to herself. Worst case scenario would’ve been that she didn’t want to be with him anymore, but Lucius quickly pushed that out of his mind, deeming it impossible.

Taken aback from her words, he took her hands in his, “Of course I want to go through with this.” He paused, wondering what had sprung this up. She wasn’t getting cold feet, was she? He held back a smile, thinking it’d be rather strange if she were when Lucius would’ve been the one likely to panic when the day drew nearer, considering his past. “Ah..” He drew her closer and lightly kissed her. “..We will be fine, Narcissa. I’m not going to let anything happen to you…”

She clenched and unclenched her fingers, empty from her reluctance to grasp Lucius’ hand. Narcissa knew she would falter without him. She had grown too attached to him over the years, and lately feared that he would one day leave her. ”I think I’ve changed too much in the past year,” she said worriedly. ”I’m sorry, love…I’m not myself.” And Lucius’ kiss was comforting. His touch shielded her from everything that was bad in the world. Just him being there eased the tension from what was plaguing her thoughts.

“But the one they call the Dark Lord…He’s going after families and killing them! Bellatrix has joined him, as have Regulus and the Lestrange brothers. I don’t know what this means. From everything they told me, though, I don’t like him.” Narcissa shook her head, feeling powerless to do anything for a girl in her position. First of all, she knew that the families that were targeted were those of non-Pureblood stock. Second of all, she was Pureblood herself, and raised to act like one. But could she tolerate the ruthless and vicious killings of people she might actually know?

He frowned, gently cupping her cheek and turned her to him. “Narcissa…” Lucius knew her long enough to know that something was bugging the girl. The young Malfoy had spent most his life understanding each of her expression so that words wouldn’t be needed and right now, her lack of enthusiasm all of a sudden worried him. For now, he kept silent, casually throwing her a glance every now and then to make sure her mood wouldn’t deteriorate as the night went along.

When they were done, Lucius was just about to stand up after hearing the offer until a soft whisper caught his attention. “A walk?” He nodded, taking her hand, “Of course. Shall we?” He asked as the rest of the family slowly dissipated the room.

Narcissa nodded and left the room with Lucius as her escort, as everyone else had gone to their respective places of respite. The men would speak of business and power, and the women would speak of parties and dresses. Soon enough—and she didn’t know how soon—Narcissa and Lucius would fall along the same paths.

She spoke once they were alone, but didn’t look at him. She did not take his arm as she led the way towards the door to the extensive grounds and gardens. ”I want to know again, though it has been a year. Do you still want to go through with this wedding?” Narcissa was afraid that either she or Lucius changed over the course of time that they were not with each other. Yes, he’d visited her over certain weekends, but only for short periods of time. Of course she’d changed. She finished up her last year at Hogwarts by transforming into the perfect Pureblood wife. And Lucius was establishing himself within businesses she did not know about. ”I am worried, Lucius, about the ongoing war,” she added.

Lucius turned to her and tilted his head slightly, “Of course…” He brushed her knuckles once more. “Why wouldn’t I be?” He asked under his breath, not wanting to draw attention either. In a louder voice he continued, “Alright, I would assume the ladies of the family would have better taste in fashion than I could ever have in this lifetime.” He chuckled.

Bellatrix leaned against the table, “Yes Cissy darling, I’ll help you with your dress. You’ll look like a princess.” She teased, gaining a chiding look from her mother. “Sit properly, Bellatrix.”

Lucius sat back against his seat before his father pointed him towards Cygnus in a small conversation about work.

Narcissa felt like she couldn’t really absorb his words, but perhaps it was just paranoia on her part. ”Nothing. It’s nothing,” she said in reply, more for herself than him. She was relieved when the evening went on and the men and women at the table had separate discussions. She hadn’t seen Lucius in what felt like forever. She had graduated from Hogwarts. Now what? A slight feeling of unease crept up at her for the rest of the night, and would not leave.

After several courses of dinner, Cygnus rose to his feet. ”Ah, I believe it’s time for a cigar and a brandy. Would you gentlemen care to join me in the gaming room?” he offered to his male guests. Druella had done the same, encouraging the females to follow her to the tea room. Narcissa looked at Lucius once again. ”Do you want to take a walk with me?” she whispered so that only he could hear.

It amused Lucius greatly just how the two would get along. Even if they had moments when they were at each other’s throat, literally, with a wand at hand, threatening to hex the other’s head off, and eventually they’d make up in the only way they know how, or at least to Lucius, it appeared that way.

“A ball would be most excellent.” Chimed Caroline, thinking back to how they threw Lucius a party when he returned. Of course, the news of the former arranged marriage did spoil it for the young Malfoy.

Setting down his food, he swallowed his last bits and wiped his mouth with the napkin provided. “Of course.” He smiled taking her hand in his, brushing lightly with his thumb. “I’ll be your escort.” He brought her hand up and gave a small kiss to her knuckles, “It wouldn’t be ideal if I allowed another man be by your side instead now, would it?” He chuckled. “I assume you’d want to go dress shopping?” He inquired, knowing that he should at least match her outfit for the night.

“I can go with Mummy and Bellatrix,” she said in reply to Lucius’ assumption that she would want to go dress shopping. Usually the answer would be yes. However, Narcissa couldn’t tell if something was bothering Lucius or not—presumably this idea of a debutante ball. Being the wealthy purebloods they were it shouldn’t have come as a surprise. She whispered so that only he could hear, as she lightly squeezed his hand. “Are you all right?”

A feeling of unease also settled in her stomach. Were they thinking too much in announcing her engagement? Truthfully it still wasn’t officially announced as Bellatrix’s wedding had yet to happen (and with the way things were going, Rodolphus would probably elope with the eldest Black sister). Narcissa figured Lucius was only being polite in going along with the whims of the reigning females from both families.
