there’s  something  awfully  ironic  about  writing  her  secret  wish  on  the  parchment  and  sending  it  into  the  fire.  the  burning  of  one’s  desire  to  release  it  into  the  universe  was  one  thing  but  in  a  way  narcissa  felt  like  she  was  burning  a  part  of  herself  up,  like  she  was  asking  for  the  wish  to  come  true  and  the  secret  to  go  away  all  in  one  go  (  and  in  a  way  she  was  ).  stepping  back  from  the  bonfire,  she  smiled  softly  towards  her  company.  she’d  lost  track  of  bellatrix  not  long  ago  and  finding  rod  in  the  crowd  had  been  such  a  welcome  relief.    ❛  will  you  tell  me  what  you  wished  for  or  do  you  think  wishes  should  be  kept  secret  ?  ❜

perhaps  it  was  selfish  to  burn  two  wishes  in  the  bonfire,  narcissa  had  never  cared  enough  to  clarify  the  rules  but  if  she  remembered  correctly,  she’d  only  ever  burnt  one  slip  of  parchment  every  year.  this  time,  she  burned  two.  one  for  each  babe,  the  glowing  mother  had  told  someone  giving  her  a  not  so  subtle  side  eye.  one  was  for  rod,  but  the  other  was  for  andromeda,  who  narcissa  certainly  had  no  expectations  to  see  at  the  festival  …  when  was  the  last  time  narcissa  had  even  gone  ?  she  couldn’t  pin  the  date  but  she  new  the  answer  was  years,  only  coming  for  draco’s  second  christmas  and  the  celebration  of  the  anniversary.  looking towards  her  own  baby,  all  sweet,  pudgy  cheeks  and  eyelashes  as  he  slept,  fist  clenched  around  a  toy  snitch  that  lucius  had  bought  him,  narcissa  almost  lost  too  lost  in  her  thoughts  to  hear  the  raucous  laughter  passing  so  closely. 

the  steam  of  pink  hair  went  running  by  where  she  was  sitting,  the  girl’s  father  right  behind,  and  narcissa’s  eyes  immediately  began  searching  for  the  mother.  even  for  just  a  moment  the  relief  that  she  would  feel  in  seeing  her  sister  would  be  the  fulfilment  of  at  least  one  wish,  somehow  the  one  she  thought  more  out  of  reach.  her  hand  reached  out  for  a  passing  andromeda’s  wrist,  closing  around  it  and  just  as  quickly  casting  charm  after  charm.  notice  me  not  after  notice  me  not,  muffliato  to  keep  their  words  private.  slowly  and  all  at  once  they  became  invisible  to  the  people  around  them.  it  wasn’t  until  a  moment  had  passed  that  narcissa  finally  released  andromeda’s  hand  and  looked  up  at  her  sister,  almost  as  surprised  at  her  own  actions  as  she  was  unsure  what  to  say  now.  

after  a  moment,  she  got  out  a  small,  ❛  you  look  well.  ❜  then, softer, more naturally:  ❛  she’s  beautiful.  ❜

𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄: lily evans is the queen of pentacles, upright. when the queen of pentacles is upright, it represents financial independence, striking a work / life balance, nurturing those she loves most, and emotional, physical, and financial security. 

lily’s job is incredibly important to her, even though she has recently only just gotten back on her feet after being out of commission for a few weeks. she’s also currently on a leave of absence from gringotts after an injury in the field rendered her unconscious and her team had to emergency portkey out because of her. a week and a half in saint mungo’s and another two weeks at longbottom manor, lily has finally been able to return to her life in london with at least some semblance of normalcy ( she doesn’t want to talk about how she’ll occasionally have to sit down when her knee begins to ache or how her right hand shakes just a little bit when she’s nervous or stressed, she won’t talk about the fact her mistake could have cost someone else their life ). 

she is still the queen upright, however, and that means for all her pain there are still good things: she is emotionally secure with the comfort of her family nearby, she is physically secure even with the newfound injuries that she’s learning to cope with as much as she has to, and she is financially secure. lily evans has an excellent job but she comes from a better family and all her gold is nice but it is nothing compared to the longbottom vaults. lily has taken to visiting her mother for tea every sunday morning and staying for lunch, regaling her with tales of curses that she only usually gets to tell sporadically every few months ( augusta tuts with fondness, says her daughter should learn to the love the safety of london, find something good here, at home ). she has her lamentations about what is happening, but that does not change the fact that she is a queen and her crown is going nowhere.

𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒

there are so many things to say about growing up in longbottom manor but there are two things that are incredibly true: she was carried into their home as lily evans and the first day she left for hogwarts, she was calling herself lily longbottom. in the intervening eleven years, lily learned everything augusta, harfang, and their library would teach her. she was a clever, enthusiastic little girl, with impeccable manners and a thirst for pureblood culture that implied a desire to know more about their history and social circles. the longbottoms were part of it, of course, a most noble and ancient house in their own right, but there was something about the airs of people who were truly born into it that fascinated her. a kind of confidence that came with knowing their history that was an incredible blindspot for lily growing up. the society they were growing up was their birthright, and though lily had been there for just as long as her peers, it wasn’t inherently hers in the same way it was theirs. 

her friendship with severus prince began when they were six and the longbottoms were invited to the prince estate so the children had something of a play date. where severus was withdrawn, lily jean evans took one look at him and decided that she would protect him. forever. he was stuck with her before she’d really even spoken to him. in time, the princes were also coming around longbottom manor and that’s where lily’s friendship with severus truly turned into something solid to lean on. his hesitance at the magical world was slowly chipped away at by lily’s enthusiasm for everything and the inverse of roles here means the world to me.  

she shows him all her favorite toys and why, where she goes to think when she doesn’t know how to talk about it but she just needs a hug. and when they’re standing there she asks if she can hug him because “ you look like you need it. and at the end of the day nothing is better than a hug from someone who loves you. and i don’t love you yet but i will. ”

when lily went to hogwarts, she was proudly sorted into slytherin house. the side eye from some classmates that a muggleborn had made it in was quickly dismissed, as she had her best friend in the world with her and didn’t find making friendships to be particularly difficult outside of her house. the persistence she’s known for started developing in her childhood but it really is perfected here: it’s not that lily needs people to like her, it’s that invariably the people she wants to know come around and the people she writes off don’t matter enough to shake her out of her sense of self. they didn’t like she was a muggleborn ? she’d show them the same manners they’d grown up with. they didn’t like she was excelling in school work ? she was top of their class for seven consecutive years. the true test of her slytherin cunning, though, were all the insipid conversations, a verbal parry back and forth until they drew a stalemate, speaking in coded language, or until another was more successful over their opponent and got what they wanted plainly ( or as close to plainly as a slytherin could speak ). 

one of her foundational choices for siding with the death eaters was rooted in the longbottom’s own history. they were supporters of grindelwald and augusta had been a major proponent of the muggleborn laws. the longbottoms did not fear their interests aligning with other members of the sacred twenty eight. she further aligned with her mother when augusta allowed her and frank to sit outside in the hallway when dumbledore came to meet them just before frank’s graduation day. everything dumbledore said was as cunning and calculated as the slytherins she parried with daily but there was a significant difference: he had stepped into a snake pit expecting a lion’s den and if lily jean could have thrown open those doors and cursed dumbledore herself she would have done it without hesitation. from that moment, much of what she’s done has been fueled in some part by spite towards him and she can’t help but hope dumbledore will see one of the brightest witches of her age follow in the same steps as the brightest wizards before her and know he’s lost. not the war, but certainly a costly battle.

becoming a curse breaker was about one of the easiest decisions that lily had ever made, in part thanks to her connection with horace slughorn and the longbottom family’s connections to gringotts as cursebreakers themselves. she had more than enough newts to enter the intensive trainee program, including ancient runes, charms, transfiguration, and defense against the dark arts. her ability to stitch together different schools of magic into a digestible format, recognizing that the curses they would be breaking would not be straightforward spells but patchwork masterpieces, propelled her through the interview process and into a firm standing in the top of her class ( as she had in hogwarts ). her signing bonus was better than most of her fellow graduates and the assignments she was initially tasked with were certainly beyond the level of a beginner, but she had a good teammate and a better thirst for adventure and lily tackled her work head on.

there are days where she wished frank had gone first and paved the way, had stepped head first into that world together so they could tackle it head on, together, as they had for much of their childhood. that said, she’ll never blame him for choosing a different path because of the actions of a despicably selfish man and she wants him to be happy more than she wants to have him as her partner. 

her work as a curse breaker has sparked a tendency, though, to drift in and out of the city, only notifying a few people each time when she returned which caused a fair few of her relationships to have definitely fractured since school. while this normally wouldn’t be a bother, about three weeks ago, lily was placed on a medical leave of absence and has spent a majority of that time in the apartment she shares with her roommate ( a wanted connection ). only in the last few days has she started to feel better but she’s certainly conscious of how prone she is to overextending herself and how bored she is now that she has less casual friends to go out with when the boredom starts to overtake her. as she’s starting to get back on her feet, she’s also noticed a draw towards rings of the pureblood society that she had known from the sidelines as a daughter of the house of longbottom. she’d dabbled in joining before, not quite sure if it was something she’d want to pursue, but the more time she has on her hands, the more she thinks it might be worth exploring.

—  ϟ  ›  ( aslihan malbora, cis female, she/her )  ⋆  you know, the gossip in london is insidious, and gossip about a PUREBLOOD like NARCISSA MALFOY NÉE BLACK seems to constantly be afloat. what i know for a fact, though, is that they’re a TWENTY SIX year old POTIONEER who graduated as a SLYTHERIN from HOGWARTS. someone they went to school with told me that the stillness in the air before the onslaught of a hurricane, unsent letters sealed with wax and curses, the kind of sunrise you only see after staying up all night, a public façade so carefully crafted you don’t know what you really look like, and the softness of a mother’s smile when her babe laughs,  &  the EMPRESS always reminded them of HER. maybe that’s why the WITCH has publicly declared their allegiance to the DEATH EATERS ?

check out some stats for her here ! 

𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄: narcissa most closely corresponds with the empress, reversed. the empress, reversed, represents her domestic problems and stagnation. 

her stagnation is rooted in her lack of ability to pursue her dreams in the way she would like. though the malfoy family owns an apothecary that stocks potions and has a menu where potions can be custom ordered, she is unable to go in and work in a place where she would excel and allow herself to utilize her skills and mastery that harkens back to a childhood consumed by her inability to show off her talents that were not considered wifely or appropriate for a woman of her station in society. 

her domestic problems are rooted in her marriage and the affair that she has begun with rodolphus lestrange. as far as she is concerned, her marriage contract has been fulfilled. she has provided her husband with a son, a beautiful baby boy who will hold her head in his most precious hands until the day she dies. narcissa stands by her husband at social functions, she upholds his name when she is in public, but when she can, she will find herself in the arms of rodolphus lestrange because she knows he loves her. with lucius, she can’t tell and he certainly has never made it known. she has the good grace of at least keeping her affair private. 

𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒

daughter of cygnus and druella, narcissa is the youngest of three daughters and the porcelain doll they placed on their mantlepiece. her talents and skills all shrouded in darkness, a forced mystery to the rest of the world. as a little girl narcissa turned to her sisters, hoping for compassion to come from them because she may have been opulently taken care of and taught all the lessons a young woman of society should know but she was certainly never loved. because it wasn’t so much that andromeda and bellatrix weren’t treated the same way that narcissa was, but that narcissa felt like their mother hyper focused on her to such an extent that she felt like the only daughter and therefore shouldered the brunt of their mother’s most toxic behaviors. and, though druella would never lay a hand on her daughters, that doesn’t really stop the trauma from building up. the demands to be perfect from a young age and conforming to someone who she did not want to be compounded too deeply. for example, her views on blood status are largely based in trained behaviors and thoughts, where she’s at a point where she is twenty six and attempting to uncouple the things she genuinely believes and has a backing for versus the things she was taught were correct and therefore required no question to follow. 

her hogwarts years were a strange storm relief and pressures. she was no longer in the home of people who loved her for what she could do for them and that was a boon but at hogwarts she was tested on her etiquette and manners at every turn. another might have been stressed but as a daughter of the house of black, there was no room for a single error. the progress reports that made their way home to druella and cygnus must have been satisfactory because never once was she questioned about her behavior at school. 

the only time she was ever really asked about school was when she was in third year and received a time turner from headmaster dippet upon her petition ... and her owls and newts, of course, but those were less questions and more suggestions that she drop the unnecessary classes so she stopped taking divination, history of magic, and care of magical creatures. 

post hogwarts, narcissa stayed at the school to pursue a mastery in potions. professor slughorn had agreed to continue teaching the daughter of the noble and most ancient house of black on an accelerated mastery schedule in keeping with her family’s reputation and her own prowess for potion making. everything he tasked her with, she excelled at and the things she did not excel at the first time she had mastered by the second. 

her marriage to lucius was not a surprise to anyone and in the beginning, she was quite pleased with the development. she’d thought she might have married someone lesser –– a member of the sacred twenty eight, of course, but she imagined she might have married a second son or later, or the first son of a family that would have killed to marry a daughter of the house of black. still, though she met lucius and met a man who she thought she could truly love, someone who might meet her and meet her mind and decide that she was the right match because she brought more than just wealth and good breeding. for a while, it was true and good and until the birth of draco, perfect. narcissa had the marriage she wanted and a beautiful boy, the start of a family who would extend a thousand years, and then lucius seemed to change. it was like she’d provided him the one thing he thought she was worthy of and all but neglected her after the birth of their son. she’s not sure the last time they slept in the same bed or when they were little more than passing ships at breakfast.  

narcissa sometimes still thinks of herself as narcissa black, instead of narcissa malfoy. she’s never made the mistake in public of saying something even remotely close to that but sometimes she’ll be left alone with her thoughts while she’s brewing and she feels less like a married woman and more the girl who obsessed over her potions assignments and wanted to impress professor slughorn so he would agree to take her on a masters student when the time came around for it.  

there have been an occasion or two where she thinks of herself as narcissa lestrange. it hadn’t started until her recent pregnancy that she’d started thinking about it, little daydreams that carried her heart into a place of contentment, waves of her wand that revealed a strong, beating heart. an unexpected but welcome thought all the same has recently settled in her mind and refused to leave. maybe in another life it could have come to pass, one where she had stood up for her desires, one where she had told him sooner, one where she had not felt so beholden to her duties and to her family. perhaps that’s why she clings so selfishly to him now: rodolphus is a beacon of hope that there is happiness for her not reliant on the name of the house of black. 

OTHER DETAILS: 

narcissa leaves the country once a month on an international portkey and returns the same day. the day varies but it is usually a saturday, away from duties she otherwise has, typically leaving midmorning and returning in the late afternoon. her face is always impassive even though her heart has fractured a little more every time she returns. 

a note of context: when andromeda was disowned, narcissa slipped a key into andromeda’s pocket that led to a gringott’s vault as explained by a letter that was summoned when the key was first touched by andromeda. as narcissa was eighteen, emotionally destroyed, and totally unaware of how much things cost, there was quite a disgusting amount of gold in the vault for andromeda but what was most important was a spelled-to-match datebook that narcissa wrote in once a month, like clockwork, to inform andromeda of the location of a café in nice, france. 

though narcissa does not pressure andromeda to join her, she writes two messages over the course of her time there. i’m here when she arrives and the macarons were delicious when she leaves. the only times narcissa has not made the journey are when she’s been too late in her pregnancy. the datebook was the first to know, both times, she reported that she was pregnant. 

narcissa is currently pregnant with twins, about eight months along. she’s as graceful as ever and positively glowing with joy.

she  is  the  stillness  in  the  air  before  the  onslaught  of  a  hurricane,  unsent  letters  sealed  with  wax  and  curses,  the  kind  of  sunrise  you  only  see  after  staying  up  all  night,  a  public  façade  so  carefully  crafted  you  don’t  know  what  you  really  look  like,  and  the  softness  of  a  mother’s  smile  when  her  babe  laughs.  she  is  the  𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒,  touch  her  and  you  will  burn.

about ━━ ✦ 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐀 * neither a toe out of line nor hair out of place，she is every inch the painted doll.

visage ━━ ✦ 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐀 * do not be deceived by her radiance，so many venomous creatures are vibrant.

muse ━━ ✦ 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐀 * she has done what she will always do，carve a throne from granite and anoint herself queen.

answered ━━ ✦ 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐀 * the air stills as she prepares to answer，a hurricane poised on the tip of her tongue.

thread ━━ ✦ 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐀 * there are so many things that she pretends not to know.

connections ━━ ✦ 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐀 * that which will destroy me are my most desperate desires.

prologue ━━ ✦ 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐀 * before you were anything else，you were a little girl. don’t forget her.

connection ━━ ✦ 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐀 + 𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐎𝐋𝐏𝐇𝐔𝐒  * honesty never was my best quality and now we hide in the shadows.

connection ━━ ✦ 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐀 + 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐗  * you deserve better than the ashes my betrayal will leave in your mouth.

connection ━━ ✦ 𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐀 + 𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐀  * your home is with me too，do not forsake me.

haunting  melodies  carried  over  bodies  of  water,  sharpened  wit  matched  by  sharpened  teeth,  she  raids  tombs  like  she  raids  libraries  with  a  thirst  only  quelled  by  knowledge  or  gold,  the  queen  of  giving  herself  a  home  field  advantage,  and,  though  not  today,  perhaps  she  is  a  form  of  death.  she  is  the  𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐄𝐍  𝐎𝐅  𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐒,  her  touch  is  poisonous.

about ━━ ✦ 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐘 * she’s not the kind of girl who walks through the fires of hell，she set them.

visage ━━ ✦ 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐘 * the swirling black fog at her feet serves for a dark warning，this is the queen of hell.

muse ━━ ✦ 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐘 * these gentle hands push open the gates，these wrathful hands will tear down the walls.

answered ━━ ✦ 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐘 * chthonic gods are most familiar but even they only know a fragment of her.

thread ━━ ✦ 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐘 * perhaps we are in a time where honor must be transactional.

connections ━━ ✦ 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐘 * we do not all get what we want，some prices are too steep to pay.

prologue ━━ ✦ 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐘 * look at you，daughter of winter and the night，you’re falling apart，you’re turning to ash.

connection ━━ ✦ 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐘 and 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊 * she is the sword and he the shield，the defenders of the house of longbottom.

MARITAL STATUS : unmarried, looking for a partner.  SPOUSE, IF APPLICABLE : –– OFFSPRING, IF APPLICABLE : –– ORIENTATION : panromantic, pansexual. DATE OF BIRTH & AGE : january 30, 1960 & 21. WESTERN ZODIAC : aquarius sun, capricorn moon, and sagittarius ascendant. PROFILE : EYE COLOR : green, near unnatural, vaguely unsettling when she turns her head in the right manner or the light hits them at the right angle. HAIR COLOR : red. BUILD & HEIGHT : hourglass figure, defined jawline, approximately 5′7 ¾. miss evans insists that she is 5′8. IDENTIFYING MARKS & SCARS : lily has freckles across the bridge of her nose and cheeks. miss evans has three tattoos. she has a matching tattoo with frank lonbottom being the longbottom family crest on her left ribs near her heart, a pair of raven’s wings on her right shoulder, and a magical rose tattooed on her hip that wilts in the winter revealing her thorns.   SCHOOLING : HOGWARTS , school of witchcraft & wizardry. HOUSE, IF APPLICABLE : slytherin. N. E. W. T. S. : charms · o, arithmancy · e, transfiguration · o, divination · o, ancient runes · o, defense against the dark arts · o, potions · o. OCCUPATION : CURSE BREAKER, licensed.  MINISTRY FIELD, IF APPLICABLE : –– REGISTERED WAND : kou wood, phoenix tail feather, 12 ⅜, springy. stained a rich chocolate brown, the runes that are carved in the handle of lily’s wand are reminders of the thin line she walks. kou wood draws off the elements of wind and fire while her phoenix tail core pulls off of  fire and water, giving lily a barely there connection to her core. when she first swished and flicked her wand in ollivander’s the magic thrummed through her like nothing she’d ever felt before, almost called to action for a cause she did not know and a fight she was nowhere near ready for. the runes carved into the wand are for protection, strength, and compassion. protection from those casting against her, strength for her own spells, and compassion to remind her that though she has the power to cast, she doesn’t need to in every situation. compassion is best suited for those unused to it.  AMORTENIA : the first time that lily smelled amortentia was when she was in professor slughorn’s classroom. it was there she smelled the overtones, the strongest of the scents, those that were … earthy. in part they were so surprising because lily has always favored the light scents that almost remind her of a crisp fall breeze. bergamot was the first thing she could identify, mixed with something like tobacco. beautiful smells, yes, but not entirely what she initially thought she’d desire. the second time she smelled amortentia was when she was brewing it, a near evolution of smells that had a final result she altogether enjoyed ( an understatement, surely, because her chest warmed to the fullest extent and the smile on her face erred just a little too dope-y for the rest of the day after ). yes, the second time had other things too, gentler notes of lemongrass and figs, and something rather like a man’s cologne. BOGGART : having encountered a boggart first hand on a recent curse breaking mission, lily was quite surprised when it turned into augusta longbottom, dressed finely in a manner lily knew how to likely be in that same moment ( a beautiful tweed skirt and jacket, a pressed white shirt, stockings, and heels that complimented the green color of her skirt, with a hat that was surely one lily assumed to be a joke ). that augusta, however, spoke with a kind of venom lily had never heard before, you’re not my daughter, mudblood, just a pathetic little rat we took off the street. she could not successfully cast the ridikkulus against it and was pushed out of the way by a member of her team. PATRONUS : a brown bear. though brown bears do well in leadership roles, they tend to find contentment alone or with a limited number of people. someone with a brown bear patronus tends to be confident and stable, a pillar that others might gravitate towards in trying times for stability and healing. often friendly and curious, they tend to have a mask that suggests they are actually far more stern and anti social than they actually are. brown bears are known to be the warriors of the bear archetype, standing their ground and facing danger to protect others or do what they believe is right, never backing down. lily has named her patronus buddy. KNOWN AFFILIATIONS : LONGBOTTOM, frank. MACDONALD, mary. RHODES, alice. CURRENT MAILING ADDRESS : ⒌₍ʔ∤ moirsaira circle, london, penthouse 7 LAST SEEN LOCATION : stepping onto the knight bus leaving diagon alley. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION : highly skilled occlumens, member of the witches’ league. cursebreaker with gringotts. unregistered animagus, raven form.  SECURITY STATUS : not a known threat.

HAIR  COLOR  :  dark  brown, previously dyed blonde. BUILD  &  HEIGHT  :  doe eyes, slender nose, full lips,  pear shaped build.  5′3 IDENTIFYING  MARKS  &  SCARS :  narcissa’s skin was flawless until her first pregnancy, where she developed stretch marks. though there are simple spells and potions to get rid of them, she chose and actively chooses to keep them. SCHOOLING  :  HOGWARTS,  school  of  witchcraft  &  wizardry. HOUSE,  IF  APPLICABLE  :  slytherin. N.  E.  W.  T.  S  :  potions  ·  o  (  completed  a mastery in after graduation  ),  herbology  ·  o,  alchemy  ·  o,  transfiguration  ·  o,  charms  ·  o,  ancient  runes  ·  o,  defense against the dark arts  ·  o,  astronomy  ·  o,  arithmancy  ·  o.  nine  total  newts  achieved  through  use  of  a  time  turner  beginning  in her third  year.   OCCUPATION  :  POTIONEER  for the malfoy apothecary. MINISTRY  FIELD,  IF  APPLICABLE  :  –– REGISTERED  WAND  :  bocote wood, serpent scale core, 13 ¼ inches, and unyielding. both her wand’s wood and core draw off of the element of earth and favor potioneers, defensive spells, and healers. as the wood is neutral, the wand tends to be indifferent towards white or dark magic and will easily function for either or both, depending on the choice of its caster. the core, however, is easily made into a dangerous object and has a proclivity for dark magic and stealth, able to poison and provide expanded consciousness. both also lean in favor of persuasive casters who have an interest in the mind making it an excellent aid for learning occlumency and legilimency. the wand is as yielding as its mistress, willing to consider something new based on facts and logic and the occasionally persuasive, emotional argument. AMORTENIA  : coming soon. BOGGART  :  until the birth of her son in june of 1980, her boggart has always been druella black née rosier looking down at her before blasting a curse at the wall to signify narcissa’s removal from the black family tree. it symbolizes her fear of rejection, of disappointing her family ( specifically her mother ), and failing in her duties related to her status. after delivering draco, narcissa had the same nightmare for almost three weeks of lucius taking draco from her arms and branding him with the dark mark. her sweet, innocent babe who has done nothing to participate in this war, who she will not allow to become a soldier.. PATRONUS  :  narcissa could only cast a non corporeal patronus until the first time she heard her son’s laughter. after that, she was able to produce a small ruby throated hummingbird, which seemed to grow with her confidence until she could cast it without hesitation and easily calling it forth. the hummingbird is a charming creature, elusive, and the ability to fly backwards and these traits are indicative of a caster who is constantly thinking and able to make decisive situations as quickly as possible.
