when the levee breaks | narcissa&marcus

The new year rolled by and instead of the victorious celebration they were supposed to be having, Narcissa had found herself worried about the attacks to the homes of the people she loved. It had taken them a few weeks to recover, but they were ready to strike back and teach Aversio a lesson. At least their attack on the members of The Order of the Phoenix had yielded results. With February came the whiteouts, the tick blanket of snow that covered every inch of the ground, and the winds colder than ever before. Narcissa enjoyed the cold. And with Valentine’s day right around the corner she found herself wanting to surprise Lucius at work.
Narcissa had never liked the Ministry of Magic. From a young age she found herself walking these hallways by the hand of her father or uncle. She had always been a well behaved child, and the Blacks had not wasted a chance to let the world know how better their kids were to literally everyone else’s. And she had always been underestimated, no one had see any harm on bringing her along. But Narcissa had learned all about the things that went on behind closed doors, of how money could make people do anything. And it was then that she decided that she could not care about something whose loyalty was so easily bought.
Narcissa hated the Ministry of Magic.
But Narcissa also understood the need for it. People needed a sense of leadership, of believing there was someone who could guide them. After spending hours putting together her outfit, Narcissa had finally made her way to the Ministry. She didn’t visit often, so it was going to be a surprise. She had barely stepped into the atrium when she felt herself collide against someone. Narcissa was about to snap, but decided against it in case it was someone she needed on her side. A well rehearsed smile made its way to her lips as Narcissa looked up. Recognition flashed across her face, ❝Marcus?❞ she said with surprise.
