"It is not a marriage. It is not even a promise.

You have spent a life trying to escape the strings attached to such promises, the hands reaching out to hold, to drag you further down. But an obsession binds as strongly as any chain. There is a weakness encoded in the heart of what you are.

As a moth to the flame, as a flame to the dark, one day you will take her hand and finally be extinguished. You will go, then, willingly.

She smiles at your rebellions. She will have you in the end."

Reach out. She lies next to you. The black hem of her skirt drifts like clouds of ink. In the dark, you can just make out her pale lips. She speaks. Invisible fingers tighten in your hair. You beg release. She laughs.

Reasoning: She just seems uncomfortable with romantic stuff.

She basically gets love potioned but in an attack your ally way and it makes her act really out of character. Maybe because she's never had a crush before and so to force her to have one makes her way out of character. Then she breaks out of it due to embarrassment. This also comes across as extreme discomfort and strength of will. Aromantic behaviour. Also, outside of really traumatic situations, it's the only time we see her cry.

She also has an uncomfortable reaction to seeing two team mates kiss citing you shouldn't just do that with anyone. And even when finding out they're married says it's gross. Romance-repulsed aromantic behaviour.

Lady Black spending a day with her grandson Draco and daughter Narcissa, despite her dislike of Lucios

Lady Black had always loved her children above all else. She'd been a better mother than many of her predecessors in the Black household. She had been there to support her children at the birth of each grandchild. It was an inevitable fact that she was worthy of the best mother and best grandmother of the year awards. Narcissa had invited her precious mother to the Malfoy mansion for a few days. Even though Lady Black didn't like her son-in-law Lucius much, she had accepted the invitation to see her daughter and granddaughter. The moment Lady Black stepped into the mansion, Draco had jumped into his arms.

"Grandma. I'm so glad to see you."

"Honey, I'm so glad to see you too."

"Mother. Welcome."

"Hello beauty."

"Hello mother."

"Hello to you too, Lucius."

She had tried so hard not to grimace when she saw her groom. After spending time drinking tea and chatting with her daughter, she played a game with Draco. After dinner, she had helped Draco sleep by telling stories. After breakfast tomorrow, Narcissa and Draco were out for a stroll in the garden with Lady Black.

"Grandma, let's play a game."

"Draco, don't bother your grandma with your wishes."

"Honey. Draco doesn't tire me out, don't worry. And I didn't run less than you guys."

"Let's play chase."

"Okay. You'll run away and I'll catch you."

Draco and Narcissa ran as Lady Black chased them. After a few laps, he caught Draco first and then Narcissa. After working with art from noon until evening, Lady Black was telling a story to her granddaughter after dinner. Narcissada was listening with her head on her mother's knee.

"Mom, aren't you big on fairy tales?"

"Draco, honey. No matter how big kids get, they're always babies to their moms."

Lady Black had placed a kiss on Draco's forehead after Narcissa. When tomorrow came, it was time for Lady Black to return home. She had said goodbye to her daughter and grandchild by hugging them and giving them kisses.

"Goodbye, mother. Come again."

"Yes, grandma. Come quickly."

"I will try to come to you as often as I can, my dears. I love you very much."
