Ministry Easter Celebration | open

“Oh shove it,” Amelia laughed, shooting her friend an appreciative grin in response. Normally she didn’t respond to compliments, but tonight her effort and discomfort made her like them, the few she had gotten. “That might be preferable to this. I’m contemplating cutting off my feet just to get out of these heels.” She smiled and gestured for her friend to spin around. “I’m glad, Cissy. You really deserve to feel better. I’m glad you found this one, it really makes you look like you’re part Veela or something.”

Narcissa pulled a face, “It might just be me, but no feet sounds more uncomfortable than feet in heels,” if they were alone she would have stuck her tongue out. But as they were at a public event she had to be content with eye contact. “Only part Veela? Hm...” She looked down at her dress, “I need to up my game next time.”

“If it is required for my work, I do not see that I can avoid it.” Lucius frowned at her. They had spent enough time now that he was beginning to get a sense for her moods, and importantly, when she was not being genuine. “Now that what?”

Narcissa sighed, there was no use in trying to avoid the topic,” Now that we enjoy the time we spend together... Or at least I do. I know we cannot have the perfect marriage, but I hoped to have something more than my parents at least.” Her eyes left his face and looked at their intertwined fingers. There was no use in trying to avoid the norm and her whining was not helping the situation. She took a deep breath and focused back to the here and now, moving her eyes back to his, “But let me not ruin the evening. It is still some time before me are there in any case.”

Ministry Ball @violetdragonheart

Narcissa spotted a familiar face close by. She remembered Violet fondly from their talk in the school library and thought it a good idea to spark a conversation with the woman. However, as Narcissa neared her, she saw another familiar face in conversation with Violet. A face she thought of less fondly. It was only once her sister turned and left that Narcissa walked up to Violet, “I would never have taken you for a traitor-sympathizer.” She hadn’t meant for the words to come out as harsh but it was too late.

“As far as careers go I suppose that is not the worst of them all. You would do good in the law world.” Narcissa had quarreled enough with him to know his skills in debating. Then a thought struck her, “Does this mean you won’t be home a lot?”

“I like to think so,” he smiled, pleased with her praise and approval of his choice. He hadn’t needed it, but it was nevertheless nice to have. “Well… yes.” Lucius father had rarely been home, so it was never something he had thought about too much. “Will that be an issue?”

[purely-cissa]

"I suppose not." Narcissa tried, and failed, to keep the disappointment from her voice, "It isn't unusual for husbands to be away from home often. I had just hoped we would be an exception. Especially now that..." Then she shook her head, "Your career will always come first, no need to worry about that." She gave her socialite smile.

lucius-mm:

He led her onto the dance floor. As much as he wanted to dance with her, he was also a little motivated by the fact that Society would also see them dancing together. He personally preferred that they appear unified, no matter how things may be behind the scenes. “I have not entirely decided yet. International Law, perhaps. I definitely wish to do something that incorporates travel.”

“As far as careers go I suppose that is not the worst of them all. You would do good in the law world.” Narcissa had quarreled enough with him to know his skills in debating. Then a thought struck her, “Does this mean you won’t be home a lot?”

philappaxgreengrass:

“Still highly doubtful.” Philippa disagreed at the entire thing and tried to focus on the conversation about dates. “I don’t blame you there. That talk is all unnecessary. And no, I don’t have a date. Not tonight. Or really ever.”

At Philippa’s words Narcissa made the decision to play matchmaker. It was ridiculous to have such a sweet and beautiful pureblood girl unattended. What was wrong with the male population? “Then, until my date returns to me, would you care to be my date for the ball? I promise to keep you as far away from the dance floor as you want - unless you have the desire to dance of course.”

ameliacharlottebones:

Amelia’s face lightened as she heard the familiar voice of her friend. She hadn’t seen too much of Narcissa in the past few days. Between their distance and the distance between her and her brother she had been feeling pretty odd. But at least her friend was here now, and offering help as always. “I know I look great, but judging by the fact that I can barely breathe and feel like everyone can see everything about me, I’d rather look like the Bloody Baron right about now.” She laughed, “I’m always ready to learn. But you look great.”

“Luckily you have beautiful everything that deserves to be showed off.” Narcissa gave a playful wink, “However, you will look stunning even dressed like the Bloody Baron, you can certainly pull off the leggings.” she laughed. At her friends compliment she looked down at her dress, “Thank you. I have been feeling better these last few weeks than I have in years. I am also enjoying the slightly hot weather. Finding decent warm winter gowns are terribly difficult.”

siennarowle:

“Not officially, no,” Sienna answered honestly, “I have been spending some of the time with Amycus though. Although he seems to have disappeared as well.”

“What a pity to have him slip out of your grasp so easily. Luckily my cousin was here to relieve some of your boredom.” Oh yes, Narcissa had noticed Sienna and Sirius buddying up earlier. She had also noticed Sienna returning from heaven knows where and her brother’s foul return mere minutes thereafter. While Narcissa wasn’t one for gossip, she certainly wasn’t above using information to keep people in their place. And she wanted Sienna to know that she had crossed a line when she started making eyes at her fiance.

thorfinn-rowle:

“Well that’s a very reassuring quality to have in a leader,” Thorfinn said with a roll of his eyes. Narcissa’s description did nothing to instill confidence in the man. “It’s her excitement about finally being married to me that suits her,” Thorfinn corrected with a grin. “She hates wedding planning.” Rather, Katherine liked planning things, but he had noticed her growing impatience the longer the process went on. It was almost comical to watch sometimes.

“Oh is that so?” Narcissa raised a playful eyebrow at Thorfinn’s correction, “I am certain it is not your humbleness that excites her so much.” Some times she couldn’t help but see a resemblance between Thorfinn and her betrothed. True, Lucius was a lot more serious than him most of the time but they exuded a charm that was hard to ignore. “Yes well I would be fed up with that too by the time I get to the thirteenth table setting of the fifth colour scheme. I hope you have a decent, unwinding honeymoon planned. She will need it after all this work.”

Surprise Engagement || R&N

It had been a couple of days since Regulus had found out about the engagement, and even though he knew that the gossip and questions hadn’t even really begun, he was already sick of them. Sure, he knew it was potentially a grave mistake to have not told anyone else in his family (namely his cousin) about it before it was announced, but he needed the small bit of time beforehand to at least try and wrap his mind around the sudden change without having to actually talk about it. 

Which is why, on the morning in question, he’d woken up early and decided to go for a run. Normally he would have chosen to go for a fly, but being in the air was too much of a reminder to Lucinda and thus was the opposite of what he was looking for. Hearing someone call his name, he reluctantly slowed his pace to turn and look at his cousin. “Sorry, did you need something?”

Narcissa stormed into the drawing room of Black Manor, livid. How dare he! 

The young Black had decided to spend the morning out in Diagon Alley. It had been some time since she felt comfortable enough to venture out on her own and was quite a lover of the Easter spirit. However, nothing was enjoyable when she heard about her cousin’s betrothal - and that from a gossiping shop assistant. She had dropped everything immediately and found her way home. With the approval of her parents, she took floo powder in her hand and announced the name of the family estate in France.

Disgruntled by the unannounced appearance of her niece, Walburga muttered that Regulus was out jogging and, before she could reprimand Narcissa, the girl was out the door. 

“Regulus!” she called once she was outside, looking over the estate. When he didn’t respond she cursed under her breath and ran up to his side, “Regulus!”

When he finally responded she said, “Yes, as a matter of fact. Now will you stand still so I can box your ears.” Narcissa was fit but she hated running.

thorfinn-rowle:

“One would think that with the Minister in attendance, and it being at his residence that the security would be tighter.” 

“He cares less about security measures than he does about controlling his sugar intake.” While Narcissa didn’t really have a problem with the minister (she wasn’t one for politics after all) she couldn’t but think of him as more of a cuddly grandpa than the ruler of a powerful nation. “Your fiance looks dazzling tonight,” she changed the topic, “wedding planning suits her well it would seem.”

[purely-cissa]

siennarowle:

“I was more speaking about certain individuals that I’d rather not deal with, but no particular reason other than I simply don’t care to at the moment,” Sienna replied easily.

“I see,” Narcissa wondered if Sienna was still trying to vie for Lucius’ attention but tried not to think about it too much. “Did anybody accompany you to the festivities?”

[purely-cissa]

philappaxgreengrass:

“A scandal? I doubt it.” She said; not bothering to mention a better scandal that she’s heard rumor of. “Better options, obviously. I’m surprised you’re not out with Malfoy.” She smiled at Narcissa.

“Well, not a scandal, but close enough.” Narcissa replied, realizing it was best not to have the words scandal come from her mouth. At Philippa’s comment, the Black’s head turned to try and find her date, “Technically we are together. But he was talking shop with ministry officials so I excused myself to look for better company. And you? No date for the night?”

eddyteddytonks:

“Oh, good.” Ted smiled at his phone, continuing to flip through the images. He really wasn’t sure how Narcissa viewed him, but considering his run in with her parents, he assumed it was rather poor. At the same time, however, he didn’t want to stir up more issues considering she was still his girlfriend’s sister, and his good friend’s best friend. “I love kids too. Although, I think this guy might be my favorite. Did you know babies can actually ‘breath’ underwater for short amounts of time? because the water goes straight into their stomachs. Isn’t that crazy?” 

Narcissa chuckled at his tidbit, “As a matter of fact, I did. Just a pity we cannot keep that ability our entire life - it would make so much more fun.” There was a hundred questions on her mind but she refrained from asking even one, scared of bonding with the guy she viewed as the villain in the breaking of her family. In the end she settled for a safe question that she already knew the answer to, “Do you have any siblings?”
