Is that narcissa black i just saw rushing down the corridor? i hear theyāre twenty year old slytherin, returning for their sixth year, but their friends would tell you that they are clever & bewitching as well as manipulative & insecure. if you want to know more about them, i guess i could tell you that theyāre pure blooded, and from what i hear, theyāre currently allying with the neutrals. when our divination professor looks into their crystal ball, they see: long fingers perfectly manicured, locks of gold perfectly brushed and adorned with a bow, milk baths with crimson roses, devilish blue eyes.
Golden locks, rosy cheeks, bright eyes came rushing into the world in a screaming mess. The last daughter of house Black, precious child of golden crown placed upon her head by no other than her mother herself, there always an incline towards the light haired girl, many whispered it to be because she resembled the older lady the most, others because she wasnāt as reckless or dangerous as the other two. No. Narcissa had a tendency to please, to listen, to follow into the steps and plans that were carefully traced for her. Delicate as the flower she was named after, but with a bright mind of her own. Learning from a young age that being agreeable was the way to open doors to anything she could desire.
Alike the other two older sisters, Narcissa, held a mind for witchcraft with an uncanny talent. Thrown into books and magic from the moment she could comprehend the context, the small girl became fascinated and enchanted by the world that she had been born in, the more you pore into her mind the more she craved the knowledge of anything she could get her hands on. Her Hogwarts years did not come fast enough for her, the corridors of the old castle welcomed her with open arms as if she had always belonged there. Her two older sister being the year ahead of her helped a lot for the young girl to not feel out of place, in fact the year before when she had spent it all alone at home had been the hardest for her.
Young mind molded with coldness intellect into her small frame, no room to question or hesitate the norms she had to avid by, family traditions. Even cutting off her own cousin, and she questioned it, all in silence as she sat pretty religiously replying her lipstick without bringing to much attention to herself. Perfection, nothing far from it, that was what she strived to be and she was. There would be no room for questioning if she was a good daughter, a good student, a pure blood. She builded her reputation from the moment she stepped into magic school, girls from all ages either bent to her every whim by adoration or were too scared to go against it. With the years came wisdom, curiosity and knowledge.
One cold rainy morning one of her professors threw the word around class, Legilimency. A single word that struck fire through her mind, she would spent the next years of her life mastering the ability even if it was the last thing she learned. By the end of her fifth year she had the basics down, she was good at it, many had praised her, but like anything she was still too impulsive, too overly confident and somedays the acquire skill got the best of her. Then there were good days were she seemed to have it all under control, where the legilimency helped play more mind games than anyone was prepared for. After all she wore an invisible crown everyone was very aware of it, wrapped around her fingers like tiny marionettes. Many feared her oldest sister because she seemed dangerous, but they forget about the serpent under the rose.
Although seemingly she agrees with everything her family has carefully decided for her, there are still days she questions and plots how to stop it, but the result is always the same. The perfect daughter cannot step away from the carefully traced path they have created for her, she has too much too lose, too much at stake, too much she isnāt willing to sacrifice.
The youngest daughter, and her motherās favorite.
Incredibly talented at manipulation, and has a pristine reputation.
Cherishes her sisters and family above everything else.
Constantly wearing her invisible crown, but does deal with insecurities.
Has a collection of dedicated followers amongst the years who flock to her.
Ā Ā Ā that Ā was Ā it. Ā he Ā knew Ā heĀ Ā finallyĀ Ā had Ā narcissa Ā wrapped Ā around Ā his Ā finger. Ā though Ā this Ā time, Ā it Ā was Ā nice Ā to Ā know Ā that Ā this Ā wasnāt Ā someone Ā he Ā was Ā just Ā going Ā to Ā fuck Ā over Ā in Ā the Ā end. Ā he Ā finally Ā had Ā the Ā one Ā person Ā he Ā had Ā wanted Ā for Ā years, Ā the Ā one Ā person Ā who Ā constantly Ā ignored Ā him Ā and Ā didnāt Ā see Ā any Ā of Ā his Ā advances. Ā she Ā had Ā certainly Ā seen Ā this Ā one Ā though. Ā a Ā naked Ā first Ā kiss Ā was Ā kinda Ā hard Ā to Ā forget.Ā Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā fingers Ā dance Ā across Ā her Ā back Ā as Ā he Ā takes Ā in Ā the Ā moment, Ā allowing Ā himself Ā to Ā catch Ā his Ā breath Ā and Ā just Ā enjoy Ā this Ā little, Ā carefree Ā moment Ā - Ā something Ā he Ā knows Ā will Ā be Ā few Ā and Ā far Ā between Ā when Ā it Ā comes Ā to Ā their Ā married Ā life Ā and Ā whatās Ā set Ā up Ā for Ā lucius Ā for Ā the Ā rest Ā of Ā his Ā life. Ā the Ā possessiveness Ā was Ā already Ā overtaking Ā him Ā however, Ā and Ā he Ā knew Ā that Ā anyone Ā who Ā even Ā looked Ā at Ā her Ā for Ā a Ā little Ā too Ā long Ā would Ā be Ā in Ā his Ā bad Ā books Ā ā Ā so Ā practicallyĀ Ā everyone, Ā considering Ā narcissaās Ā little Ā admirers.Ā Ā āyouāre Ā allĀ Ā mine.ā Ā he Ā finally Ā blurts Ā out, Ā lips Ā pressing Ā against Ā her Ā own Ā one Ā more, Ā though Ā this Ā kiss Ā was Ā more Ā chaste Ā than Ā anything, Ā almost Ā sealing Ā his Ā words. Ā he Ā played Ā the Ā long Ā game Ā for Ā years, Ā he Ā couldnāt Ā really Ā wait Ā any Ā longer.Ā Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā itās Ā obvious Ā by Ā the Ā slight Ā shake Ā in Ā his Ā hands Ā that Ā heās Ā still Ā laced Ā with Ā hesitation. Ā not Ā because Ā ofĀ Ā her.. Ā orĀ Ā themĀ Ā - Ā but Ā because Ā he Ā doesnāt Ā know Ā how Ā close Ā he Ā can Ā be Ā to Ā her Ā without Ā touching Ā her Ā more, Ā without Ā being Ā too Ā desperate Ā for Ā more Ā of Ā her Ā and Ā so Ā he Ā puts Ā the Ā tiniest Ā bit Ā of Ā distance Ā between Ā them, Ā pecking Ā both Ā of Ā her Ā cheeks Ā - Ā and Ā her Ā nose, Ā for Ā good Ā measure.Ā Ā āif Ā i Ā donāt Ā leave Ā now, Ā iām Ā never Ā going Ā to.ā Ā he Ā grins, Ā happy Ā and Ā boyish Ā as Ā he Ā canāt Ā keep Ā his Ā eyes Ā off Ā her.Ā Ā āand Ā iĀ Ā donātĀ Ā want Ā to Ā absolutely Ā devour Ā you. Ā not Ā now, Ā anyway.ā Ā at Ā least Ā heās Ā being Ā honest, Ā keeping Ā things Ā completely Ā up Ā front Ā with Ā her.Ā Ā āso.. Ā iām Ā going Ā to Ā go Ā ā Ā iāll Ā let Ā you Ā relax, Ā get Ā cleaned Ā up, Ā do Ā whatever Ā you Ā gotta Ā doā¦ Ā and Ā iāll Ā see Ā you Ā later, Ā yeah?ā Ā another Ā kiss Ā - Ā hoping Ā she Ā doesnāt Ā think Ā heās Ā just Ā ditching Ā her.Ā Ā āi Ā have Ā some Ā homework Ā to Ā do, Ā but Ā iāll Ā be Ā around Ā in Ā the Ā common Ā room Ā before Ā my Ā duties.ā
Her heart skips a beat as he calls her his, everything is so new to her, she did not have the experience or knowledge that he had over her. she wasnāt sure if that was the way she was suppose to feel at such statement. However she was sure that something that felt good, almost normal couldnāt be bad. She leans into him as he playfully pecks her, over and over, and deep down she wished he would just kiss her like he had moments ago. And she considers it, grabbing him by the neck and pulling him towards her and taking the initiative this time, but she refrains from it for she too knows that if she is to take it there they would more than likely end up going too far and as much as she craved his touch she would not continue such acts in a bathroom at Hogwarts, not her first time anyways.
Narcissa felt cold when he had stepped just a little away from her, the warmness he gave her was something she didnāt want to part from, but understood as she gave him a shy smile, that hid the fact that she wanted him to devour her.Ā āVery well. Besides we donāt want to get caught and be in trouble, aside from how fast that would spread.ā She shrugged, she too stepped away before slowly swimming to the opposite side of the bath pool, placing her arms crossed at the edge. Looking over her shoulder once more before leaning her head on her arms and closing her eyes to give him some privacy.Ā āI would mind you devouring me, however. Just for the record.ā She hummed teasingly. All in good time she thought, the good things came to those who waited, she was very familiar with that truthful phrase.Ā
Ā Ā Ā he Ā already Ā knows Ā in Ā his Ā heart Ā that Ā heās Ā not Ā going Ā to Ā get Ā ahead Ā of Ā himself. Ā he Ā doesnāt Ā care Ā that Ā heās Ā full Ā of Ā lust, Ā doesnāt Ā care Ā that Ā his Ā head Ā is Ā telling Ā him Ā that Ā this Ā is Ā just Ā another Ā person Ā for Ā hisĀ Ā consumption. Ā though Ā itās Ā just Ā another Ā reminder Ā that Ā narcissa Ā isnāt Ā the Ā only Ā person Ā heās Ā screwed Ā around Ā with Ā in Ā the Ā prefects Ā bathroom, Ā andĀ Ā thatĀ Ā alone Ā isĀ Ā enoughĀ Ā for Ā him Ā to Ā make Ā the Ā decision Ā immediately Ā that Ā heās Ā not Ā going Ā to Ā let Ā this Ā go Ā far. Ā narcissa Ā black Ā deserves Ā better.Ā Ā hisĀ Ā futureĀ Ā wifeĀ Ā deserves Ā better. Ā it Ā doesnāt Ā stop Ā him Ā from Ā finally Ā breaking Ā the Ā tension, Ā leaning Ā in Ā to Ā capture Ā her Ā lips Ā in Ā a Ā passionate, Ā meaningful Ā kiss.
Ā Ā Ā Ā thereās Ā something Ā possessive Ā about Ā the Ā movement Ā of Ā his Ā mouth Ā against Ā narcissaās Ā ā Ā full Ā ofĀ Ā wantĀ Ā andĀ Ā desire. Ā he Ā had Ā waited Ā for Ā this Ā longer Ā than Ā she Ā even Ā knew Ā ā Ā longer Ā than Ā most Ā people Ā knew Ā really. Ā people Ā he Ā grew Ā up Ā around Ā were Ā well Ā aware Ā that Ā his Ā eyes Ā had Ā always Ā been Ā on Ā the Ā blonde, Ā always Ā wanting Ā to Ā impress, Ā always Ā wanting Ā to Ā be Ā the Ā centre Ā of Ā her Ā attention. Ā and Ā nothing Ā seemed Ā to Ā workā¦ Ā until Ā now. Ā a Ā heat Ā had Ā already Ā sparked Ā between Ā them, Ā so Ā intense Ā that Ā the Ā water Ā feels Ā too Ā hot Ā and Ā uncomfortable Ā to Ā stand Ā in.Ā Ā sheĀ Ā wantsĀ Ā him, Ā just Ā as Ā he Ā wants Ā her Ā and Ā heās Ā eager Ā to Ā show Ā it Ā ā Ā hands Ā dropping Ā from Ā her Ā face Ā to Ā dance Ā down Ā her Ā body, Ā closing Ā the Ā distance Ā between Ā their Ā two Ā bodies Ā so Ā thereās Ā no Ā space Ā between Ā them. Ā skin Ā to Ā skin. Ā thereās Ā nothing Ā to Ā hide Ā now, Ā heāll Ā make Ā sure Ā sheās Ā far Ā from Ā shy Ā when Ā it Ā comes Ā to Ā him Ā and Ā her Ā body.Ā Ā eventually, Ā of Ā course.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āyouāre Ā going Ā to Ā be Ā theĀ Ā deathĀ Ā of Ā me, Ā arenāt Ā you?ā Ā he Ā once Ā said Ā he Ā was Ā afraid Ā of Ā dying, Ā scared Ā of Ā the Ā upcoming Ā war Ā but Ā in Ā narcissaās Ā embrace? Ā he Ā wouldnāt Ā be Ā terrified Ā of Ā anything. Ā his Ā mind Ā is Ā already Ā moving Ā a Ā million Ā miles Ā a Ā minute Ā - Ā theyāve Ā only Ā kissed Ā and Ā heās Ā already Ā desperate Ā to Ā taste Ā her Ā elsewhere. Ā but Ā heās Ā beingĀ Ā good, Ā heās Ā promised Ā himself Ā that Ā nothingās Ā going Ā to Ā happen Ā too Ā fast. Ā plus, Ā he Ā has Ā to Ā keep Ā the Ā younger Ā black Ā on Ā her Ā toes. Ā lucius Ā pulls Ā away Ā from Ā the Ā kiss, Ā hand Ā flat Ā against Ā her Ā back Ā as Ā he Ā tries Ā to Ā catch Ā his Ā breath.Ā Ā āā Ā howās Ā that Ā for Ā anĀ Ā āevil Ā planā?ā Ā heās Ā using Ā her Ā words Ā against Ā her Ā again, Ā the Ā dazed Ā look Ā on Ā his Ā face Ā turning Ā into Ā a Ā soft Ā smirk.Ā Ā āiāveĀ Ā wantedĀ Ā you Ā forever, Ā black. Ā and Ā youāveĀ Ā justĀ Ā realised Ā it.ā
Narcissaās eyes were close as she waiting for their lips to touch, the butterflies in her stomach kept trying to make their way with how strong they seemed to be flying around. She hoped she would feel like that forever, that every time he touched her she would feel like burning, that every time they would be closed to kissing she would melt, and that she would always feel like she was addicted to him, his touch, his presence. What an overload of emotions he was making her feel, was this the way she made him feel on the daily? Even when she had been so indifferent, insisting on ignoring what was so plainly there in front of her eyes. What a man for always being so consistent, if anyone deserved her it sure was him. For the first time all that holding up, keeping to herself from others felt worth it for him to be her first kiss.Ā
And it was like an explosion of her mind, and physical as well. Like a moth to a flame, she always thought of kisses as plain, boring, and just nothing that interesting, but with Lucius she felt wanted, desired, like her couldnāt get enough of her, something she never thought she could feel. And in return she felt like floating, and melting, and exploding, and losing her mind. All at once. She gasp when he pulls her closer, she feels so vulnerable and just as safe all together as their bodies seem to melt into one. her hands rest on his bare chest and her nails dig into his skin ever so slightly. Narcissa has the need to grab him and bring her closer, even if there is no space between the two, he is not close enough to her. Her usual insecurities fly out the window following her sanity. She truly wished that moment would last as long as possible, instinctively she bites on his lower lip as he pulls away, trying to retain him even if it is a second longer. She knows her cheeks as red as a cherry and she hides her face in his chest.
She is ignorant of her own emotions, of what she truly craved, she didnāt want him to stop even tho she knows that is not the time nor the place. Instead of focusing on that want she focus on calming her heart, on controlling those strange urges she was so unfamiliar with. She focuses on his heartbeat and his voice as she begins to come down from the high his kiss had given her. Narcissa kisses the skin of her chest closest to her lips, lovingly, gently as she nozzles into him.Ā āI know now.ā She says softly.Ā āAnd you have me now.ā She confesses, because she is almost sure no one else can make her feel the way he just had. Finally she dares look back at him, her eyes once again drowning in the brown of his.Ā āI will be the death of you, and you will be the death of me.āĀ
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā it Ā was Ā aĀ Ā weirdĀ Ā feeling Ā - Ā certainly Ā notĀ Ā unwanted, Ā but Ā weird Ā nevertheless. Ā lucius Ā had Ā always Ā wanted Ā to Ā be Ā this Ā close Ā to Ā narcissa, Ā had Ā always Ā crushed Ā on Ā the Ā younger Ā girl Ā who Ā never Ā seemed Ā to Ā give Ā him Ā the Ā time Ā of Ā day. Ā memories Ā of Ā him Ā pretending Ā to Ā be Ā at Ā the Ā black Ā manor Ā for Ā bellatrix Ā instead Ā of Ā narcissa Ā flooded Ā his Ā mind, Ā trying Ā to Ā catch Ā her Ā gaze Ā during Ā high Ā society Ā parties Ā and Ā well.. Ā just Ā trying Ā to Ā be Ā the Ā person Ā narcissa Ā wanted. Ā it Ā turned Ā out Ā that Ā maybe Ā he Ā just Ā needed Ā to Ā be Ā himself Ā - Ā to Ā relax Ā and Ā know Ā that Ā if Ā things Ā were Ā going Ā to Ā happen, Ā theyĀ Ā wouldĀ Ā in Ā time. Ā sure, Ā he Ā knew Ā a Ā lot Ā of Ā this Ā was Ā due Ā to Ā the Ā whole Ā betrothal, Ā but Ā they Ā would Ā have Ā made Ā their Ā way Ā to Ā one Ā another. Ā lucius Ā wouldnāt Ā have Ā cared Ā if Ā she Ā was Ā paired Ā up Ā with Ā anyone Ā else, Ā he Ā would Ā have Ā been Ā persistent Ā - Ā he Ā would Ā haveĀ Ā foughtĀ Ā for Ā her.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āi Ā mean, Ā getting Ā them Ā wet,Ā Ā sure. Ā but Ā not Ā so Ā much Ā embarrassing Ā them.ā Ā he Ā canāt Ā help Ā but Ā jump Ā at Ā the Ā opportunity Ā to Ā make Ā the Ā crude Ā joke, Ā knowing Ā heād Ā just Ā blame Ā it Ā on Ā her Ā anyway Ā -Ā Ā hey, Ā it Ā was Ā allĀ Ā her Ā ownĀ Ā words. Ā not Ā his. Ā hands Ā remain Ā fitted Ā around Ā her Ā face, Ā touch Ā delicate Ā and Ā careful, Ā though Ā he Ā canāt Ā help Ā but Ā feel Ā discomfort Ā with Ā the Ā feeling Ā settling Ā at Ā the Ā pit Ā of Ā his Ā stomach āĀ
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā butterflies?Ā Ā already?Ā Ā this Ā girl Ā would Ā certainly Ā be Ā the Ā death Ā of Ā him Ā and Ā heĀ Ā hadnātĀ Ā even Ā kissed Ā her Ā yet.Ā Ā āall Ā the Ā work?ā Ā lucius Ā laughs, Ā head Ā tilting Ā up Ā towards Ā the Ā ceiling Ā so Ā he Ā didnāt Ā chuckle Ā for Ā too Ā long. Ā that Ā truly Ā was Ā hilarious.Ā Ā Ā those Ā lips Ā always Ā taunted Ā him, Ā drew Ā him Ā in, Ā especially Ā when Ā narcissa Ā would Ā bite Ā them Ā or Ā simply Ā when Ā she Ā was Ā talking Ā so Ā animatedly Ā about Ā something Ā she Ā was Ā passionate Ā about. Ā when Ā she Ā wore Ā makeup, Ā they Ā were Ā tinted Ā a Ā pretty Ā shade Ā of Ā burgundy Ā that Ā made Ā them Ā stand Ā out Ā even Ā more. Ā he Ā supposed Ā that Ā was Ā the Ā general Ā purpose Ā of Ā makeup, Ā but Ā all Ā the Ā same Ā it Ā felt Ā unfair Ā that Ā narcissa Ā would Ā walk Ā around Ā looking Ā like Ā that Ā when Ā lucius Ā couldnāt Ā simply Ā pull Ā her Ā in Ā and Ā taste Ā that Ā dark Ā red Ā against Ā his Ā own Ā lips.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āthe Ā last Ā thing Ā i Ā wanted Ā you Ā to Ā do Ā was Ā have Ā toĀ Ā ask, Ā i Ā wouldnāt Ā have Ā even Ā expected Ā a Ā please Ā from Ā that Ā pretty Ā mouth.ā Ā he Ā nods, Ā breaking Ā the Ā tension Ā ever Ā so Ā slightly Ā as Ā he Ā stepped Ā closer, Ā leaning Ā forward Ā to Ā press Ā little Ā kisses Ā along Ā the Ā blondeās Ā jaw. Ā he Ā just Ā wanted Ā toĀ Ā hearĀ Ā those Ā few Ā words, Ā wanted Ā confirmation Ā that Ā he Ā had Ā finally Ā broke Ā through Ā those Ā walls Ā that Ā had Ā been Ā built Ā up.Ā Ā "just Ā sayĀ Ā youĀ Ā want Ā me.āĀ Ā
Narcissa smiled widely at his joke, as she knew better than to say those things, but it was charming nonetheless. She had walked right into that one.Ā āSo it was all part of your evil plan, huh?ā She retorted. Playful Narcissa was always lively and full of smiles and laughter, too bad she rarely came out, for she always help a much more introverted perspective to herself. That part of her was one her family would never agree with, she was meant to be seen but not heard.Ā
She was entirely lost in his eyes, in his touch, she wasnāt even sure if she felt like floating because of the way he looked at her or if it was simply the water around them that made her swing in the movement of it. The one thing she was sure of is she was becoming intoxicated with such feeling, a feeling she would become addicted to if she wasnāt careful enough. If it wasnāt too late as it was, it could be too late to turn it down all together. Not that she would even consider it. Had she truly been so blind, so lost, to have not reached out for his hand before when it had been waiting for hers all along? It was hard to admit but perhaps she should have taken everyones side comments and teases as just that, had she not been to occupied and worried with what people would think of her or what her family had to say, perhaps she wouldāve seen the way he looked at her was never the way a friend looks at a friend.Ā
The blonde hummed she he began to kiss on her porcelain skin, eyes closing as she felt the butterflied go wild in her stomach, the temperature began to raise in the room and that voice in the back of her head had completely disappeared. He had finally done the unimaginable, he had tore all her walls and barriers down like a bulldoze. Both of her hands gripped on his biceps as she feels like sheās melting with his words.Ā āYes, I want you.ā She bit on her lower lip in anticipation, she never in her life wanted to be kissed so bad she felt like burning.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā his Ā gaze Ā still Ā doesnāt Ā fall Ā from Ā her, Ā not Ā even Ā when Ā he Ā feels Ā her Ā hand Ā brush Ā against Ā his Ā abs, Ā his Ā muscles Ā flexing Ā more Ā at Ā the Ā action. Ā she Ā hadnāt Ā been Ā the Ā first Ā person Ā to Ā do Ā all Ā that, Ā but Ā with Ā narcissa Ā heĀ Ā didĀ Ā shiver. Ā maybe Ā it Ā was Ā the Ā fact Ā her Ā hands Ā wereĀ Ā coldĀ Ā despite Ā the Ā fact Ā the Ā water Ā they Ā were Ā in Ā was Ā pretty Ā hot, Ā maybe Ā it Ā was Ā simply Ā because Ā heĀ Ā likedĀ Ā her. Ā he Ā had Ā always Ā liked Ā her, Ā and Ā stuff Ā like Ā this Ā only Ā really Ā happened Ā in Ā hisĀ Ā dreams. Ā it Ā did Ā reassure Ā him Ā of Ā one Ā thing Ā though Ā - Ā he Ā hadĀ Ā finally,Ā Ā trulyĀ Ā broke Ā through Ā narcissa. Ā her Ā walls Ā were Ā down, Ā he Ā was Ā clearly Ā getting Ā her Ā authentic Ā self Ā now Ā for Ā her Ā to Ā do Ā something Ā so Ā seemingly Ā bold, Ā something Ā that Ā again, Ā he Ā only Ā pictured Ā when Ā he Ā was Ā asleep Ā at Ā nights.Ā Ā āwell Ā i Ā apologise Ā for Ā scaring Ā you. Ā it Ā was Ā not Ā my Ā intention.āĀ Ā obviously Ā sheād Ā know Ā that, Ā dumbass!!
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā heās Ā glad Ā that Ā heās Ā managed Ā to Ā clean Ā her Ā up, Ā tossing Ā the Ā towel Ā to Ā the Ā side Ā once Ā again Ā once Ā heāsĀ Ā satisfied. Ā he Ā freezes Ā in Ā his Ā spot Ā at Ā her Ā question Ā though, Ā jaw Ā slightly Ā wide Ā open Ā as Ā he Ā tries Ā to Ā think Ā of Ā an Ā excuse. Ā he Ā couldnāt Ā say Ā he Ā was Ā hiding Ā because Ā he Ā knew Ā she Ā was Ā coming Ā in.. Ā that Ā wouldnāt Ā work. Ā he Ā couldnāt Ā say Ā that Ā he Ā lost Ā something Ā - Ā that Ā just Ā sounded Ā so Ā fucking Ā stupid. Ā and Ā so Ā heĀ Ā reluctantlyĀ Ā speaks Ā up Ā again.Ā Ā āuh.. Ā i Ā was..ā Ā brows Ā furrow, Ā moving Ā back Ā to Ā where Ā he Ā had Ā been Ā stood Ā beforehand.Ā Ā āi Ā was Ā seeing Ā how Ā long Ā i Ā could Ā hold Ā my Ā breath, Ā honestly.ā Ā there Ā was Ā no Ā point Ā in Ā lying.Ā Ā āi Ā think Ā iām Ā almost Ā averaging Ā around Ā three Ā and Ā a Ā half Ā minutes Ā now.ā Ā gillyweed Ā didnāt Ā sound Ā fun, Ā nor Ā did Ā a Ā simple Ā water Ā breathing Ā charm. Ā why Ā not Ā learn Ā how Ā to Ā do Ā it Ā all Ā on Ā your Ā own?Ā Ā ādonāt Ā worry Ā about Ā that Ā though Ā - Ā itās Ā no Ā big Ā deal.ā Ā hands Ā reach Ā out Ā towards Ā narcissaās Ā face, Ā a Ā smile Ā on Ā his Ā face Ā as Ā he Ā tilts Ā her Ā chin Ā upwards Ā towards Ā him. Ā despite Ā his Ā intentions, Ā he Ā canāt Ā help Ā a Ā teasing Ā comment. Ā āiĀ Ā toldĀ Ā you Ā i Ā was Ā going Ā to Ā make Ā youĀ Ā fallĀ Ā for Ā me, Ā i Ā just Ā didnāt Ā think Ā it Ā would Ā happen Ā as Ā you Ā falling Ā into Ā water.ā
That voice of reason kept screaming at her to take her hand back, to keep her distance, in fact it was shouting at her to leave. However the longer she ignored it the more it fainted as if it was loosing the power it usually had over her. Her hand traveled from his stomach to his side, there it rested as if it was the most natural thing for her, like it belonged on his skin all along. All while her blue eyes, that didnāt seemed as cold as usual kept locked in his. The calmness within herself was something she never saw coming, not with someone she had consider to be outside of her walls, but he had managed to jump all her defenses without her even noticing.Ā Lucius had truly outdone himself, surpass any and all of her expectations, and if she had been content it was he whom she would share her life, now she was truly glad.Ā āNo need to apologize, technically I am the one who intruded.ā
As his brow furrows one of her lifts in curiosity, he seems to struggle with his words before he blurs it out and she cannot help but giggle in amusement. Boys would be boys, she thought to herself.Ā āThatās indeed impressive, I can hardly breathe out of water would not even attempt to be under water without magical help.ā She jested. Their hands reach for each other almost in cue, as she brushes some of his hair back that was stuck to his forehead. Fingertips run through his hair, over the back of his neck, over his shoulder and down his chest before they come back to her side. Rosie lips parted at his touch, mesmerized by that well known Malfoy charm.Ā And she chuckles as he teases her,Ā āYouāre very clever, arenāt you? Is getting a girl wet and embarrassed part of the plan to make her fall for you? Or was that sheer luck?ā She teases him back, chin resting and leaning into his touch. Never before had she wished so badly for someone to kiss her, to break that final barrier she had guarded so well. He seemed like a fitting champion to claim such price. There she was, the bold Narcissa she kept under lock and key, the witty one that had to be silence and controlled, the one her mother hated.Ā āNow are you going to kiss me, or must I do all the work?ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā did Ā he Ā even Ā hear Ā her Ā right? Ā sheĀ Ā wantedĀ Ā him Ā to Ā stay? Ā that Ā was Ā enough Ā to Ā catch Ā him Ā off Ā guard, Ā eyes Ā widening Ā ever Ā so Ā slightly Ā as Ā he Ā continued Ā to Ā gaze Ā at Ā the Ā colours Ā of Ā the Ā portrait Ā he Ā had Ā been Ā staring Ā at. Ā he Ā was Ā convinced Ā that Ā if Ā someone Ā asked Ā him Ā to Ā paint Ā the Ā portrait Ā at Ā this Ā point, Ā heād Ā be Ā able Ā to Ā do Ā it Ā by Ā heart. Ā though Ā it Ā didnāt Ā help Ā that Ā he Ā was Ā now Ā picturing Ā a Ā blonde Ā mermaid Ā thanks Ā to Ā narcissa. Ā he Ā has Ā half Ā a Ā mind Ā to Ā ask Ā her Ā one Ā more Ā time Ā if Ā sheās Ā covered Ā up Ā enough, Ā but Ā he Ā knows Ā her Ā well Ā enough Ā at Ā this Ā point Ā to Ā know Ā sheās Ā probably Ā been Ā panicking Ā this Ā whole Ā time, Ā making Ā sure Ā that Ā thereās Ā nothing Ā on Ā show.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā and Ā so Ā he Ā finally Ā turns, Ā not Ā even Ā shocked Ā at Ā how Ā close Ā the Ā other Ā was. Ā eyes Ā never Ā dropping Ā from Ā her Ā face, Ā but Ā heĀ Ā smiles, Ā closing Ā the Ā distance Ā between Ā them Ā both Ā and Ā reaching Ā out Ā towards Ā her Ā hair. Ā thereās Ā still Ā bubbles Ā that Ā rest Ā among Ā the Ā little Ā strands Ā of Ā hair Ā and Ā heās Ā quick Ā to Ā brush Ā them Ā away. Ā "from Ā when Ā you Ā fell Ā in?ā Ā lucius Ā grins, Ā moving Ā away Ā from Ā her Ā so Ā he Ā can Ā grab Ā the Ā towel Ā that Ā he Ā once Ā used. Ā closing Ā the Ā distance Ā once Ā again, Ā he Ā raised Ā it Ā to Ā her Ā hair, Ā gently Ā dabbing Ā it Ā to Ā rid Ā of Ā the Ā water Ā and Ā bubbles. Ā "are Ā you Ā okay Ā now?"Ā Ā
Lucius had a talent for always stripping her off from all her defenses, reaching into the young girl that laid under the false pretences her life had become. He was able to push her to be nothing but the diamond in the rough she truly was. To follow her instincts rather than to calculate everyone of her movements, and rehearse her words in her mind before speaking them. And yet she did not felt insecure, or like she had to hide herself, she felt free and appreciated for whom she was regardless of her name. Like she could be just a girl next to a guy and nothing else.
Her hand retracts as he turns around, but pushes back into his skin right over his abs, theres a small shiver as she touches them. Sheās touched when he begins to dab the soap she was sure was attached to her hair, and although she knew she would have to wash her hair before she left the bathrooms, she does not stop him. Her eyes close at the touch and leans into his hand, the rose tone of her cheeks does not leave her.Ā āI am, it was more of a shock, nothing to worry about.ā No one ever died from splashing into the water. And yet she is so aware of his presence and how close he is to her, she feels warm even without being touched.Ā āAre you okay? You were under there for too long.ā She wondered.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā he Ā doesnāt Ā shy Ā away Ā from Ā the Ā feeling Ā of Ā her Ā hand Ā on Ā his Ā back, Ā leaning Ā into Ā her Ā touch Ā ever Ā so Ā slightly. Ā it Ā had Ā been Ā a Ā rough Ā week Ā and Ā he Ā couldnāt Ā say Ā he Ā had Ā much Ā contact Ā with Ā anyone, Ā even Ā something Ā as Ā simple Ā as Ā this. Ā the Ā fact Ā it Ā was Ā narcissa Ā just Ā doing Ā something Ā soĀ Ā simpleĀ Ā for Ā him Ā when Ā he Ā knew Ā heād Ā struggle Ā alone? Ā it Ā meant Ā a Ā lot Ā more Ā than Ā it Ā probably Ā should Ā have. Ā he Ā canāt Ā shake Ā the Ā feeling Ā of Ā guilt Ā though Ā ā Ā that Ā heĀ Ā panickedĀ Ā her. Ā he Ā didnāt Ā mean Ā to. Ā he Ā didnāt Ā even Ā know Ā she Ā was Ā in Ā the Ā bathroom Ā until Ā he Ā saw Ā her Ā legs Ā inĀ Ā hisĀ Ā bath.Ā Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā he Ā raises Ā the Ā towel Ā to Ā his Ā eyes, Ā gently Ā brushing Ā it Ā against Ā them Ā in Ā effort Ā to Ā get Ā rid Ā of Ā the Ā burn Ā that Ā had Ā once Ā been Ā there. Ā heās Ā so Ā much Ā more Ā alert Ā now Ā though Ā - Ā he Ā hasnāt Ā heard Ā her Ā step Ā back, Ā hasnāt Ā heard Ā her Ā move Ā away Ā the Ā way Ā he Ā had Ā heard Ā her Ā initially Ā walking Ā towards Ā him Ā and Ā thatās Ā more Ā than Ā confusing Ā to Ā him. Ā she Ā hadĀ Ā justĀ Ā been Ā hesitant Ā to Ā even Ā help Ā him Ā out Ā and Ā now Ā he Ā knew Ā she Ā was Ā still Ā standing Ā so Ā close Ā to Ā him?Ā Ā āthank Ā you.ā Ā lucius Ā mumbles, Ā moving Ā to Ā toss Ā the Ā towel Ā to Ā the Ā edge Ā of Ā the Ā bath, Ā passed Ā the Ā many Ā taps Ā that Ā surround Ā the Ā pool Ā like Ā area. Ā he Ā still Ā hasnāt Ā heard Ā any Ā movement Ā though, Ā hasnāt Ā even Ā seen Ā the Ā water Ā move Ā even Ā slightly.Ā Ā āiām Ā assuming Ā you Ā want Ā me Ā to Ā leave?ā Ā back Ā remains Ā towards Ā her, Ā gaze Ā locked Ā onto Ā the Ā mermaid Ā portrait Ā on Ā the Ā wall. Ā he Ā didnāt Ā want Ā to Ā be Ā tempted Ā to Ā turn Ā around Ā unless Ā he Ā was Ā given Ā permission Ā at Ā the Ā very Ā least Ā ā Ā he Ā respected Ā this Ā witch Ā far Ā too Ā much Ā than Ā to Ā do Ā something Ā so Ā stupid.Ā Ā āi Ā can Ā let Ā you Ā relax Ā in Ā peace.. Ā iāve Ā been Ā here Ā a Ā while Ā anyway.ā Ā head Ā dips Ā back, Ā glancing Ā up Ā at Ā the Ā ceiling Ā with Ā a Ā soft Ā inhale.Ā Ā ājust Ā say Ā the Ā word, Ā love.ā
She wasnāt sure what it was that had taken over her, she moved her fingertips until her whole hand rested against his skin, however the distance between them was not closed, she submerged herself until the bubbles covered her chest almost to her shoulders. She swallowed hard as she tried to appease her heart unsure of what she felt. Narcissa wondered if this was what temptation felt like, if this is how she would feel towards him, towards her husband for the rest of her days. It was a feeling she wasnāt against, it made her feel more alive than she had felt in her whole life. And for the first time since she had met Lucius she wondered what it would be like to be held by him, kissed by him.Ā
He mentions leaving and her first instinct is to deny with her head, and she almost has an impulse to hug him but she remembers there is no barrier between her and his body, she fights it.Ā āI-I...ā She begging unsure of what to say. The always overly confident Narcissa is finally stripped of all her mirages and visages of whom she wants others to see her like.Ā āSuppose the right thing would be for one of use to l-leave.ā Her voice betrays her in the end. Her thumb begins to caress the skin under it almost by instinct. There is a fire that has been ignited inside of her, the kind she had always heard other girls speak of, never had imagine it would happened to her since it hadnāt happened to her for that long.Ā āI donāt want to leave-e...ā She pauses as she takes half a step forward.Ā āI-I donāt w-want you to l-leave.ā She says the sentence almost so quietly she isnāt sure he will hear her with sound of the water splashing around them.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā itās Ā only Ā when Ā he Ā hears Ā narcissaās Ā voice Ā that Ā panic Ā sets Ā in Ā even Ā more Ā - Ā not Ā because Ā of Ā the Ā whole Ā lack Ā of Ā clothes Ā thing, Ā but Ā because Ā she Ā had Ā basically Ā seen Ā him Ā being Ā a Ā total Ā loser Ā and Ā trying Ā to Ā hold Ā his Ā breath Ā under Ā water. Ā not Ā exactly Ā the Ā best Ā impression Ā to Ā give Ā to Ā the Ā girl Ā you Ā were Ā going Ā to Ā be Ā spending Ā the Ā rest Ā of Ā your Ā life Ā with Ā now, Ā was Ā it? Ā thankfully Ā for Ā the Ā two Ā of Ā them, Ā he Ā really Ā couldnāt Ā see Ā a Ā thing. Ā his Ā eyes Ā were Ā still Ā closed Ā tight, Ā the Ā sting Ā still Ā affecting Ā him Ā and Ā honestly Ā making Ā him Ā lose Ā his Ā mind. Ā so Ā much Ā so Ā that Ā narcissa Ā wasnāt Ā the Ā main Ā thing Ā on Ā his Ā mind.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā until Ā he Ā hears Ā the Ā crash Ā of Ā the Ā water Ā and Ā of Ā course Ā he Ā assumes Ā the Ā worst Ā - Ā that Ā sheās Ā fell Ā in. Ā how? Ā he Ā has Ā no Ā idea. Ā he Ā hadnāt Ā even Ā heard Ā her Ā try Ā to Ā get Ā out.Ā Ā āare Ā you Ā alright?Ā Ā where Ā are Ā you?ā Ā lucius Ā questions, Ā one Ā hand Ā moving Ā to Ā his Ā already Ā closed Ā eyes Ā to Ā cover Ā them, Ā the Ā other Ā hesitantly Ā reaching Ā out Ā to Ā try Ā and Ā find Ā her. Ā his Ā hand Ā moves Ā shakily, Ā a Ā little Ā afraid Ā that Ā heās Ā going Ā to Ā touch Ā something Ā he Ā definitely Ā shouldnāt. Ā so Ā when Ā his Ā hand Ā brushes Ā against Ā some Ā skin, Ā he Ā pulls Ā away Ā quickly, Ā almost Ā like Ā heās Ā been Ā shocked Ā or Ā told Ā not Ā to Ā touch Ā aĀ Ā cursedĀ Ā object.Ā Ā āsorry.. Ā i Ā didnāt Ā - Ā iĀ Ā reallyĀ Ā canāt Ā see Ā anything Ā so.. Ā i Ā donāt Ā know Ā why Ā iām Ā covering Ā my Ā eyes.ā Ā he Ā knows Ā how Ā close Ā she Ā is Ā to Ā him, Ā and Ā so Ā he Ā takes Ā a Ā safe Ā step Ā back, Ā slowly Ā sinking Ā into Ā the Ā water. Ā he Ā wants Ā her Ā to Ā be Ā comfortable, Ā not Ā feel Ā like Ā she Ā has Ā to Ā leave. Ā plus, Ā he Ā has Ā been Ā in Ā here Ā for Ā a Ā while Ā now. Ā as Ā much Ā as Ā he Ā doesnāt Ā want Ā to Ā leave Ā now Ā that Ā he Ā knows Ā he Ā has Ā a Ā naked Ā future Ā wife Ā within Ā his Ā vicinity.Ā Ā āi Ā promise Ā iāll Ā leave Ā if Ā you Ā want Ā me Ā to. Ā i Ā just Ā really Ā need Ā that Ā towel.ā Ā theyāre Ā covered Ā in Ā bubbles, Ā itās Ā not Ā like Ā he Ā could Ā just Ā use Ā the Ā water Ā to Ā clean Ā his Ā eyes. Ā he Ā really Ā did Ā need Ā that Ā towel. Ā his Ā hand Ā still Ā clasped Ā over Ā his Ā eyes, Ā he Ā turns Ā away Ā from Ā her, Ā extra Ā reassurance Ā that Ā he Ā isnāt Ā lying, Ā or Ā going Ā to Ā try Ā to Ā peek.Ā Ā āplease?ā
Narcissa recoils to the edge of the bath pool, she knows the bubbles are thick enough to cover most of her body, but the inadequate feeling that takes over her is not easy to shake. She reaches over for the towel and turns only so slightly as she hesitates to hand it to him or not. An easy retreat would be far easier she could grab her clothes and leave him to figure it out on his own, but the feeling of guilt doesn't leave her body, she brushes her hand over her face in frustration, leaving tases of soap on the hairs that stick to her face, so much for not wanting to wet her hair in the soapy water. So much for relaxing.
With much hesitations she rips herself from the edge of the pool that had given some sort of cover if only for one half of her body, bashfully she moves as the waters break and she gets closer to him as her inner voices scream for her to run away and not look back. What would her mother think if she was to find out of such situation, shivers went down her back at the mere thought of her mothers angry gaze. Cold delicate fingers gently touch on his back to signal she was right there, she stretches her hand around him as she keeps some distance.Ā āOn y-your right-t.ā She mumbles and stutters as she fights to make a simple sentence. It is then, as she waits that her brain allows her eyes to take in the view. The broad bear back that face her, it seemed carefully carved by some strange god, muscles flexed and flinched as he moved, as the water dripped off straight from some cheesy movie with an overly attractive main character. Lucius Malfoy had no business being as good looking as he was, and he had less business concealing such body under a school uniform. She was doomed, she never stood a chance against his charms, nonetheless against his looks. This man was melting her icy cold heart, the realization of such statement had her frozen in place instead of moving far away as she planned.Ā
Ā Ā who would have thought the first month back at school would be so stressful? between classes taking off, clubs and debates that just gave him a headache and that whole fiasco when he had to escort everyone around as part of his prefect duties - lucius was quite frankly, tired of absolutely everything. not to mention he barely had any time for his friends. a few conversations before bed, a few shared words and that was it - heād knock out and fall asleep. and that was if he didnāt have duties to care of. that was why he was in the prefects bathroom. a way to decompress, a way to relax and forget about everything with the longest bubble bath of his life.
Ā Ā Ā except this is lucius weāre talking about. heās never necessarily been the type to be able to relax and actually take a breath, heās never been good at that.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā instead, heās been practicing how long he can hold his breath under water for. heās hit a solid 3 minutes and 23 seconds when he opens his eyes, expecting to see nothing despite the lack of clarity and blurriness. once he spotted two legs, or what he thought was two legs, his brows furrowed, immediately darting upwards so he could confront said person. except heās the least intimidating person when he canāt keep his eyes open - because theyāre stinging from the bubbles. well done lucius. ādo you mind?ā he questioned, wet hands rubbing against his eyes furiously, trying to get rid of the burn and also attempt to see who exactly had disturbed his time to himself. āi donāt know what youāre playing at but my uniform is literally sat over there.ā he points to the right, though not knowing if heās pointing far enough, his arm moves side to side, attempting to at least point out the clothes once. ātheyāre sitting right there so if you d-ā hands rub against his eyes one more time before heās taking a step closer, glad that he can at least feel the warm water surround his waist, a sure enough indication to him that heās at least somewhat hidden. ā- can you grab me a towel? i canāt see anything.ā
Narcissa felt her heart jump out of her chest, her soul left her body as she saw someone jump out of the water, all color drained from her only to return ten times fold turning her usual light complexion into red undertones when she recognized the voice immediately. The red only expanded to her ears and her neck when his exposed chest came into view, her eyes opened as wide as plates, her jaw felt open, not sure if it was because of the view or because of the surprise or because she was suddenly overly aware of her boy and how uncovered she was at the moment. She was unable to find her words or form a sentence even as he continued to speak to her, completely unaware of the situation they have both fallen into. Has she truly missed the folded clothes? She wasnāt even able to look away for long enough to look to where he was pointing at, nor unsure of how to get him a towel without completely exposing her self.Ā
And so, panic took over her.Ā āLucius!!āĀ
She screamed terrified as she swiftly stood up trying to make an exist from the bath pool as quickly as she could to find a towel for her self as he struggle to see her. The last step on her way out betrayed her as she slipped loosing her balance and falling back into the water, a loud splash as the water consumed her, she held her breath and kept her eyes shot unsure of what to do next. As if her brain had shut down and refuse to help her, as her heartbeat went violently against her chest. Perhaps she should do just like him and remain underwater, although she doubt she would be able to hold it as well as he had, and then she began to wonder what in the world had he been doing under the water for so long, was he nuts? Only one way to find out, and that was coming back up for air, to close to him this time as the air hit her, and she did the one thing she could think of as she catched her breath, turn around and keep her arms crossed over her chest.Ā
Narcisa teases him as she doesnāt pull away from his touch, she too follows his eyes as the shift from his chocolate hues and his lips. If she was to inch forward she knew they would touch, inevitably kissing, and just when it almost feels like touching him she diverts, her hand cupping the side of his neck as she places a playful kiss just side from his lips before whispering in his ear.Ā āMy dear its going to take more than some tempting lips for me to give you what I have yet to give anyone, I am a price and you will have to win me.ā Then she stands up, fixing her skirt, and her hair as she gives him a devilish smile.
Special owl: @oflucivsā.
Status: Closed.
Location: Prefect Bathroom.
Things seemed quiet in the castle, almost too quiet for her liking, she often thought of such times as the calm before the storm. However she felt as if even the mundane things were far too heavy on her shoulders, thinking perhaps she had taken over too many classes trying to tackle too many things at once, a good idea at the time. Nothing a long bath, or swim, in the prefect bathroom couldnāt cure if at least only momentarily, a bliss good enough to have if only momentarily. The trip to the fifth floor seemed like a long one, considering the Slytherin common room was under the castle, but it was a trip that was worth the time. The place was very magical to her, beginning with the singing mermaid in the colorful windows, and ending with unnecessary amount of bath taps with colorful waters that foamed delightfully in the largest bath ever, really a bubble pool if you wanted to be more realistic.Ā
The water was already running, bubbles overtook the place, her icy eyes searched carefully around the place, only missing the pile of clothes and other things tucked behind one of the bath benches. Cissa assumed she had missed the person, thankfully, for she wised to be alone. She began to tie her hair in a high messy bun as she kicked her shoes into place under the bench closest to her. Then her clothes followed, folded pristinely before she turned around, dipping her toes on the warm water, a soft smile spreading across her face as she submerged in the embrace of the bubbles, she did not stop until the water covered her to her shoulders, resting her head on the edge of the bath pool. She closed her eyes as she could feel the weight fall off her shoulders slowly. She didnāt even open her eyes when she heard some sounds, assuming it was one of the ghosts of the castle.Ā āI am not in the mood Myrtle, I come in peace today.ā She said, as she knew the female ghost was not a fan of herself.Ā
āNot a chance. Specially not some snubbed up pure blood son of a random family, you shall always be more important in my heart. āShe hugged him closer as if it would be last time she could do it, and for all she knew it could be, even if she wasnāt in the exact opposite side of the war, even as a person that stood as neutral she knew there was a war and the evilness of their family that stood between them wedging a distance that she knew they could either win by her following his steps or lose as she followed the path that had been laid for her. As obedient and quiet as she tended to be, Narcissa was a fickle little thing, she could explode at any given moment and no one would knew the outcome of the aftermath. Is always the quiet ones you should look out for. However even she didnāt know what way the scale would tip, both side had much to lose and much to gain, time and destiny would tell.Ā āI believe so,ā She ran her fingers lovingly through his hair.Ā āWe are far stronger than anyone thinks, their mistake is to always underestimate us. Underestimate you,ā She said lifting his head to where he could see her teary eyes.Ā āYou are stronger than anyone believes, stronger than even you yourself knows, but I know because I see the fire in your eyes. You will survive this, if not for yourself, for me, I will always be watching you, even if it has to be from afar and know if no one ever tells you they are proud of you, I will always be no matter what.ā
Ā Ā Ā ā THAT he is, ā she confirms with a nod, still throwing a teasing smile at her sister. lucius was her best friend, and a great person ( when he wanted to be )ā which is why she needed cissa to know she wholeheartedly approved of the union. a little teasing, however, couldnāt be avoided.Ā ā but a gentlemenā¦ i donāt think youāll find many who would refer to him using that word. besides you, of courseā¦ ā she winks, her smile turning into a smirk.Ā ā nevertheless, rest assured that when it comes to him, for you, time will be made. āĀ
Narcissa raised an eyebrow as she tried to look in her memories for a reason as to why someone wouldnāt refer to Lucius as a gentleman, he was in her eyes the very walking definition of the word. Had she been so blind to the extent of missing him being entirely different to every else? Although the thought truly flattered her, someone who was only so kind to her and only her was something that had the potential of stealing her hidden heart.Ā āThen everyone else is wrong, and I am right, even when I am wrong.ā She laughed as she quoted their mother.Ā āHe is nothing but truly kind and charming to me, I can only hope to one day to care for him as much as you say he cares for me.āĀ
His words gave a flip to her heart and the butterflies dancing inside her stomach went wild, she was assuming he spoke of her, the words were exhilarating and a bit intoxicating. Narcissa flips her hair to lay all on one side of her face as she tilts her head intrigued by his words nonetheless. The touch of his fingers against her skin however are quick to distract her, electricity travels from the spot all the way to her back.Ā āI could never toy with you, I wouldnāt dare.ā She batted her lashed at him as she bit her lower lip, pressing her leg closer to his touch. It felt wrong however so good all at the same time.Ā
Ā Ā it was always like a fun game to hide things for narcissa around the black manor, wanting to bring even the tiniest bit of joy and happiness to the girl. it was never his favourite thing being in the black manor, it felt even worse than being in his own.. at least his mother didnāt meddle with him and what he wanted to eat or do. the malfoy matriarch was rather kind actually, though he supposed it was because his dad just sucked the evil out of her.. becoming the final boss for someone to go up against eventually.Ā āsecond date?ā he repeated, eyes lighting up ever so slightly. god, those cakes really saved this date.Ā āso youāre planning the next one?ā his grin was growing, boyish and charming as he waited for her answer. the fact that she was going to potentially be putting in effort into all of this did mean the world to him, reminded him that they did both want things to work.
Ā Ā Ā āto be fair.. your mother has always been a little scary.ā a certain aura that all of the black sisters possessed in some way, shape or form.Ā āiāll make sure the manor is always stocked full of your favourites.ā of course he would. he was the one who would sneak her food after all, heād make sure they constantly had cakes ready for narcissa whenever she felt the need to snack. he leans forward, mouth open as he waits for the cake to be dropped into his mouth, though heās also quick to reach for the other half, holding it up with his hand as he waits for her to open her mouth this time. his free hand shoots up, giving her a quick thumbs up as he chewed through the cake. he never really had much of a sweet tooth, but it was pretty good.Ā āi can see why you love this so much.ā
There it was that charming smile of his that had half the school pinning behind him, but this time it was for her and suddenly she understood why others found him so dashing. Perfect expression seemed carved by some artist. The icy blue of her eyes began to melt with such radiant smile, how could anyone ever stay mad at him for too long, it was as if nothing had ever happened. Forgotten. Slowly a smile just asĀ radiant began to spread across her lips, matching his. And then there it was like a perfectly rehearsed cue, the butterflies dancing in her stomach.Ā āOf course, you planned this one is only fair I plan the next donāt you think?ā She nodded as if it was the most natural thing to do.Ā āI wish we could go to Hogsmeade, we would have more to do, but Iām sure Iāll come up with something to match the effort you put today.ā She hummed as she began to think of her options, perhaps if the went home for the weekend.Ā
āAh Druella, the fitting character of a horror movie.ā She couldnāt help to chuckle at her own joke, even though she knew deep down her own mother was the main character in most of her nightmares.Ā āSounds like a dream come true, thank you.ā She batted her eyelashes as an instinct but it had never felt so natural than when she did it to him. The butterflies in her stomach flew violently as he leaned forward mouth gaped as she gently brushed the cake in between his lips. She is surprised by his action but she too gapes her mouth and welcomes the sweet taste as she hummed in agreement and content, her sweet tooth satisfied. Narcissa always gained a healthy amount of weight in her stay in Hogwarts, it was always when she went home that her health and aspect began to decreased by the pressure and stress of her parent.Ā āSweets make life better, even if only for a few seconds, happiness last for as long as you can taste it.ā A sad thought she had when she was a child that had followed her till now.Ā
