𝘼𝙎𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝙎 / 𝘼𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙏𝙄𝘾𝙎 ;; mustard yellow sweaters and pristine white collars, ‘it’s okay to be angry but never okay to be cruel’, hiding away in musty old libraries, cups of coffee with the teaspoon left at the side, stacks of parchment neatly placed at the edge of a desk, ‘i can’t let you close enough to hurt me’, heels clicking on marble flooring, sunflowers, not raised thinking you were the best, but to be the best at whatever you put your mind to.
𝙁𝘼𝙈𝙄𝙇𝙔 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙐𝙋𝘽𝙍𝙄𝙉𝙂𝙄𝙉𝙂 ;; Amelia Susan Bones is the youngest of three children, and the only daughter in the close knit Bones family. With two older brothers, Adam and Edgar, her mother tried to enforce the female stereotypes on her from a young age, but try as she might, her sons always seemed to be up to something more interesting to Amelia, causing the young witch to often rebel and stubbornly refuse to do anything that she didn’t want to. Anything they could do, she could do better, and it made her determined to achieve her goals.
𝘼𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙉𝘿𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙃𝙊𝙂𝙒𝘼𝙍𝙏𝙎 ;; When it came to attending Hogwarts, Amelia had her heart on joining Ravenclaw house, but instead she found her home in Hufflepuff. After the initial disappointment wore off, she quickly found her place among her fellow badgers, and was able to thrive not only in her classes, but in becoming both a Prefect, and the Head Girl of her year. With the help of her friends and the guidance of her professors, Amelia never wasted a single moment of her time at Hogwarts, and she left with a clear path in her mind.
𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙀𝙀𝙍 𝙒𝙄𝙏𝙃 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙈𝙄𝙉𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙍𝙔 ;; While her brothers had the benefit of physical strength on their side, Amelia knew that the way she would reach her goals would be through the use of her brain. With logic and strategic thinking on her side, she was able to get herself a job within the Ministry of Magic straight out of Hogwarts. Sure it may have only been as a glorified tea girl to begin with, but she used her quick thinking and all of the books at her disposal in order to work her way up to become a valued member of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Once she had an in with the DMLE, she set her sights on working her way through the ranks. She knew that she had a lot to prove, and frankly there wasn’t many who had faith in her abilities, but that only made her more determined to prove everyone wrong. After thirteen years of working tirelessly, Amelia is now the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and a chief member of the Wizengamot.
𝘼𝙁𝙁𝙄𝙇𝙄𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝙄𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙒𝘼𝙍 ;; Growing up with two older brothers definitely left Amelia with a thick skin, and an inability to remain quiet when she see’s something that isn’t fair. But when it came to the wizarding war, she had no interest in joining either side directly. Her loyalties always remained with ensuring that justice was served, and although she knew that The Order were doing the right thing, and she was happy to defend them at every turn, she also knew that she wasn’t a fighter, and that remaining neutral was the best thing for her to do. Little did she know, however, that was going to be a choice that she would live to have many regrets about for the rest of her life
You can’t have a war without casualties, it’s something Amelia would even say herself. But the day her brother Edgar fell at the hands of the Death Eaters was one that she never thought she’d have to prepare for. But it wasn’t just her brother she lost that day, it was also a sister-in-law, two nephews and a niece - all of them targeted and murdered for the sake of showing the rest of the wizarding world that no one was safe if you didn’t believe in the Dark Lords message, regardless of the pureness of your blood. Somewhere deep down, Amelia knows that there was nothing she could have done to save them, but she cannot help but wonder if she had chosen not be a coward and fight, would her brother still be with her to this day?
𝙒𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀 𝙄𝙎 𝙎𝙃𝙀 𝙉𝙊𝙒 ;; In the years that have passed since Voldemort was defeated, Amelia has worked tirelessly and almost obsessively to help restore the wizarding world to a place of peace, and all her efforts had not gone unnoticed. When known Death Eaters were caught and tried for their crimes, Amelia was awarded her position on The Wizengamot, and has since overseen dozens of trials, continuing to bring justice to the world she loves so much.
From the moment that Amelia was offered her position with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, she had set her sights on working her way through the ranks. Seeing others around her reaching great heights within their own fields only made her more determined, and two years ago she had finally proven herself ready to take on the role of being the Head of the department. Being a goal of hers for so long now, she doesn’t know what the future will hold for her now that she has the title under her belt, but whatever it is, she knows she will give it her all.

𝙋𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙀𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙏 𝘽𝙊𝘼𝙍𝘿 ;; can be found by clicking here
𝘼𝙎𝙎𝙊𝘾𝙄𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝙎 / 𝘼𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙏𝙄𝘾𝙎 ;; ears that are always listening, rooms with high ceilings, the stony features of a face unwilling to give away any information, ‘clever as the devil and twice as pretty’, summer evenings and winter mornings, perfect paper creases, stargazing, ‘you’re like snow, beautiful but cold’, white linen, black roses protected by their thorns, the underestimated sister, the sweetest of smiles and eyes that are always watching.
𝙁𝘼𝙈𝙄𝙇𝙔 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙐𝙋𝘽𝙍𝙄𝙉𝙂𝙄𝙉𝙂 ;; The youngest of three daughters, Narcissa Elladora Black was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and an appearance that would instantly set her apart from the rest of her immediate family. With her golden locks and piercing blue eyes, she was destined to stand out in photographs, contrasting the raven hair and dark features that were commonly associated with the Black family. At no point did this ever put her at a disadvantage however. Only a moment spent in her company is enough to see that the Black blood runs deep in her veins.
As a child, she was the princess of the family, in her fathers eyes especially, and it was from a very young age that she started being taught all that there was to know about how to be the perfect young woman. Narcissa picked everything up easily, whilst continuing to enjoy the finer things in life, and that was exactly what Cygnus and Druella wanted for their daughter - to become a respected Pureblood woman with the world at her disposal.
Growing up as part of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black was, of course, not all sunshine and rainbows. Like many of the other families in their society, the Black home is full of secrets, scandal and betrayal. You name it, and chances are at least one of them have been accused of it. Of course they have their own way of dealing with it - Narcissa has already lived to witness one of her cousins and her own sister be disowned completely and she knows it is not the first time that it has happened. The fear of this happening to her for not being good enough, or for doing something wrong was instilled early in her life and it continues to hang over her to this very day.
𝘼𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙉𝘿𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙃𝙊𝙂𝙒𝘼𝙍𝙏𝙎 ;; When it came to attending Hogwarts, there was no doubt that Narcissa would be sorted in to Slytherin House. The Sorting Hat barely touched her head before making its decision, and it was with her fellow snakes that she thrived. She worked hard to achieve good grades, and being away from the watchful eyes of her parents, she was able to find her own independence and sense of identity. Of course it never strayed far from what her parents wanted for her, but she was determined to ensure things were done on her terms as well.
𝘾𝘼𝙍𝙀𝙀𝙍 ;; Although Narcissa is unemployed and has no need to find herself a job, she has always had a passion for dark artefacts and cursed objects, and has found herself to be somewhat of a collector of both. Only a small handful of people know about her collection, but it is something she takes pride in expanding. She has also been known to source and sell on a few objects here or there. When she is not expanding her collection, Narcissa considers herself as a proud socialite and philanthropist, publicly supporting a number of causes.
𝘼𝙁𝙁𝙄𝙇𝙄𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝙄𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙒𝘼𝙍 ;; When it came to the war, Narcissa had always followed suit with the majority of her family and naturally agreed with the ideals of Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters. Most of the company she kept was often from the inner circle, but she knew very early on that she would never agree to take the dark mark, despite being approached on numerous occasions to do so.
She had openly declared herself to be an ally at first, but it wasn’t long before she started to see the effects that this cause was having on those closest to her, and that was when the doubt began to set in. More and more was her husband gone until the early hours of the morning, called to the right hand side of Voldemort himself, and then there was her sisters ever growing obsession with the man who promised them all great things but only seemed to deliver chaos and destruction in return for their unwavering loyalty. Unwavering in the sense that no one dared to step out of line in fear of the punishment that would follow.
The true test of Narcissa’s loyalty to the Dark Lord came when she found out she was pregnant with Draco. After trying and failing for several years to give her husband an heir, Narcissa’s world view completely shifted the day she found out that she was pregnant. If her loyalty wasn’t already solely to her family, it was now. Nothing else mattered but protecting her child. Not having the most loving of mothers herself growing up, she never expected the protection and care of her own child to consume her every emotion the way it did, but wasn’t that what mothers were for? To show us all of the things that we never want to be ourselves?
𝙒𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀 𝙄𝙎 𝙎𝙃𝙀 𝙉𝙊𝙒 ;; The day that Voldemort was defeated was the last day that Narcissa had to feign any support of his so called cause. While others around her were in shock, devastated by the news and in disbelief that it was true, it was the first time in years that Narcissa felt that she could truly breath again. In her eyes it meant that her family was finally free, though she still has those days where she gets a niggling doubt in her mind that Voldemort isn’t truly gone for good.
In the years that have passed since Voldemort’s downfall, Narcissa has focussed almost all of her energy on her family. She counts her blessings every day that her husband has managed to avoid incarceration, though that isn’t to say that they Auror’s don’t still regularly knock on their door looking for anything that could potentially incriminate them. Whispers of other significant names have helped the Malfoy’s stay out of the direct firing line so far, and who’s to say what else they have up their sleeves to protect themselves at the cost of others.
When she isn’t doting on her son and husband, Narcissa invests her time in her collection of dark artefacts and cursed objects. Having always had a passion and curiosity for such things, she takes a lot of pride in her collection, even if only a small handful of people know about its existence. When she is not expanding her ever growing collection, Narcissa also considers herself to still be a proud socialite and philanthropist. Officially unemployed, but has more money than one person could ever need, she publicly supports a number of causes, with the cure for Dragon Pox fund being at the top of the list.
