Narcissa Black

5th year Prefect in Slytherin. The youngest sister of Andromeda and Bellatrix Black.

[the-cunning-swan]

From the more recent ask, 2, 5, 16. From the other, 12.

2. a famous person i’ve been compared to.

Well, I've been told that I sing like this new up-and-coming singer Celestina Warbeck? I haven’t the time to listen to any of her work quite yet.

5. weird things i do when i’m alone.

Other people may think that it’s weird, but at home I have an entire room full of yarn and I enjoy knitting from time to time with a cat at my feet or on my shoulders. Don’t tell Bella about the cats; I don’t want her killing them again just because she “felt like it.”

16. a drunken story.

I prefer not to drink because I don’t like the taste nor do I wish to waste my money on something Bella would eventually steal. Sorry boys, no drunken stories from me.

12. Do you like hickeys?

Do you mean to ask me if I would actually enjoy someone biting and sucking on my body? Ew.

Passing Notes || Narcissa & Regulus

[the-heart-of-the-leo]

Of course I want to go through with it! Skeeter picked a fight with our family and nobody gets away with that. We’re Blacks. You don’t mess with us. I’m not as hex-happy as Bella but that doesn’t mean I won’t stand up for my family.

"Distinctly odd" sounds promising, we will have to investigate some more. She might be hiding some secret, like what you said about exposing her. I’m pretty good at being discreet, I’ll see what I can pick up. But you are right, we have to be careful. If we mess up we are just going to make it worse for all of us. I wish I were better with these schemes, but I spend all my time trying to stay out of them.

I look forward to seeing you show off your skills. I’ve always thought you are the more creative one with your revenge. Bella is rather predictable, for all that her wrath terrifies me.

He actually chuckled as he admitted that. It was getting easier to talk to Narcissa already, as if all that time avoiding her hadn’t happened. He had really missed her far more than he had realized.

Would you like to join me in the kitchen for a mug of hot chocolate later? It’s my hideout, and I already told Bella, it’s only fair I should tell you, too.

[the-cunning-swan]

Good then! You don't know how happy that makes me to hear that. Besides, she's becoming very inquisitive. I don't like it. She should be put in her place soon. Why not by us?

You know, I heard that Lily Evans said that she was being odd, and it seemed like Septima had something on her mind. More so than usual for the Head Girl. That sounds like a good plan, then. At least for now. We'll think of a plan of action when we have more evidence. We won't mess up if we tread carefully and keep acting as we always do.

I'm pleased that you look forward to it so. Is there anyone that's giving you particular trouble that you want me to deal with first? You're right; I think that Bella- wait no I know that Bella enjoys hurting people she isn't fond of and she's rather trigger-happy. You're not alone in that. I think that no matter how close we are, we're all at least a little bit petrified of her.

Narcissa had missed talking to Regulus like this, like they used to. It had hurt when he avoided her but she understood why he did what he did. She wouldn't want anyone's pity either. Not when she's a Black.

I would love to! Besides, if you would like we could catch up or I can show you some of my favorite chocolates that are to die for. Really, people have died for them. It is? That's odd- it's mine too! I do come in rather early in the morning or late at night so I can understand why I haven't seen you around.

[the-cunning-swan]

Passing Notes || Narcissa & Regulus

[the-heart-of-the-leo]

Well, it would be best to be damaging her reputation, would be only fair and I reckon that would hurt her most. But I can’t think of anything suitably nasty, can you? If we hexed her she would just spin another ludicrous story and use it to gain more attention.

He frowned at his parchment, unsatisfied with his suggestion, or the lack thereof. Regulus nibbled on the sugar quill as he pondered it some more. When he felt Flitwick’s eyes on him, he hastily jotted down some nonsense loops and squiggles to make it look as if he were taking notes.

I would like it if you got back at them for me. Some hexes should put them to right, or even a stern threat of hexes coming from the right person. Not that I can’t do it myself, mind you! I really don’t need any babying, neither from you nor from Bella. But it would be nice to get some support. If it’s me they’re just going to take it as more evidence that I’m going as nutters as Sirius.

Regulus scrunched up his nose. He hadn’t actually meant to admit that much, but oh well. It was Narcissa, he could trust her. He was even reasonably sure that she wouldn’t use it against him the next time she got angry, unlike Bellatrix.

I know that Bella has my best intentions at heart. She’s been like a mother hen. Don’t tell her she would pluck my feathers for calling her that. She’s just… Well, you know her. She is Bella.

And I just had a thought about Skeeter. Do you reckon we could find disprove some of her gossip in a really humiliating way? Something to make her look like a fool?

[the-cunning-swan]

Well obviously. Hexing her would only make the situation worse, I agree. For this, though, we need a different solution. I have heard rumors about her being distinctly odd. More odd than usual, I mean. We'd have to play it very carefully though, if we wanted to seriously get back at her. You do want to actually go through with this, right?

Narcissa had to stifle a smile at Flitwick's failed attempts to teach and "discipline" the class. She looked down, as if ashamed, and laughed very quietly behind her quill before continuing to write.

Oh? Then consider it done. I have no doubt that you could do it yourself, I only wished to help. Besides, you're right. If you did it, then no one will take you seriously. It would have to come from someone else. Like me. 

As nutters as Sirius? Obviously Reg was taking him leaving quite hard but Narcissa didn't think that he'd actually care about what other useless people thought. Other Slytherins, possibly, but not anyone other than that. At his next sentence though, she had to swiftly clap a hand to her mouth to stifle a laugh that was threatening to burst out. 

You're right, Bella can be quite fussier than a mother hen. Trust me, you're not the only one she's fussing over with. Don't worry I won't tell if you don't.

Oh? That sounds like it could prove to be interesting. Anything humiliating is always good. What if it was something about her that she said was false?

[xdirkcresswellx]

"I’m fine. Though I could be better." He shrugged and took a sigh, "I need to get away from here for a little while."

[the-cunning-swan]

You know, I would ask why but then I remember that I don't care.

[the-cunning-swan]

Horus, Pluto, Venus, Morpheus

Horus: What is one thing you’ve had to fight for in your life? 

Definitely recognition that I am my own person and that I am not exactly like my sisters. No, I am not as violent as Bellatrix and I am also not as booky as Andromeda, and I would prefer it if you didn’t say that I was.

Pluto: Where do you think we go when we die?

Nowhere, perhaps? I haven’t the slightest clue.

Venus: Have you ever had your heart broken?

No, I haven’t. If I ever did, then they must be prepared to feel my wrath, as well as my sister’s.

Morpheus: Do you daydream often? Of what?

I don’t daydream more often than other people. If I did, then I’d daydream of what I would have to do for the day or how I would collect my thoughts if there was an especially important matter that I needed to bring up to someone.

[the-cunning-swan]

Passing Notes || Narcissa & Regulus

[the-heart-of-the-leo]

I’m sure that Bella had my best intentions at heart, but I’m not a baby! I don’t like that everyone in Slytherin keeps watching me as if I’m going to break down in tears any moment, or start cursing random people. I’m not going to go mad over Sirius. He left. He made his choice and made it for us, too. Mother did the right thing when she burned him off the family tree. See. I’m fine. Are you happy now?

He frowned at the harsh words he had written, and decided they were too harsh. Narcissa didn’t deserve his ire. She had done nothing wrong, she was just worried and wanted the family to stick together - exactly what he wanted, too. Regulus sighed despondently.

I’m sorry, Cissy. I know you’re worried. I would be worried, too, if our roles were reversed. I just didn’t like how Bella went about it. When she asks questions… You know how she is. She asks questions because she’s concerned but she always makes you feel as if you’re being interrogated. And then you started, too. And I really wish people would stop staring and whispering behind my back. Remember that Slug Club dinner, the one where I annoyed Evans? Everyone kept watching me all evening as if I’d grown a second head. I was so irritated I talked to Evans because she, at least, insulted me just like she normally would.

He got out another quill, a sugar quill, and stealthily chewed on the end of it while at the front of the classroom, their teacher droned on. He had no idea anymore what was going on in class, but he doubted Cissa did either. They would figure it out later, maybe together.

We’re going to get back at that hag for what she said about Andromeda. We’re Blacks. Nobody messes with us and gets away with it.

[the-cunning-swan]

Narcissa widened her eyes at what Regulus wrote. She completely understood, of course, but that doesn't mean that it didn't sting a little.

I completely understand, Reg. I think that Bella sees you like the baby brother she never had. Unfortunately for anyone, she doesn't have very good means of communication. She just doesn't want to lose you, that's all. No one does, Reg.

Her quill tapped against her lips for two taps while she pondered an idea. Should she? She couldn't see how bad it would be, and she'd only get detention which isn't that bad. And it would show people that she was a Black that shouldn't be crossed, like her sisters, as well as showing them how loyal she was to the people that really mattered.

If you wanted me to, I could get back at them for you. Obviously it wouldn't be as loud as when Bella gets back at people, but they'd get the message. It would be done in the background and I wouldn't have to hurt them as much. Not as that matters, of course.

She briefly looked up, to try and follow along with what Professor Flitwick was trying to teach them. She knew that approximately half of the class was actually paying attention and the other half was pretending, like her and Regulus.

Good. That little cockroach deserves it. How do you propose at going at it?

[xdirkcresswellx]

"Change of topic? I don’t know. I do care about you, but that’s just because I’m nice. Now what’s up, Black?"

[the-cunning-swan]

I'm sure you do. Just being pestered by a Hufflepuff, what about you Cresswell?

houses of hogwarts → slytherin

[wwwygossip]

narcissa black isn't a natural blonde.

That’s an interesting theory, ducky. It could be a way of defining herself in a chaotic family, or perhaps an outward sign of an inner rebellion? I’d be very interested in hearing what Miss Black has to say on the matter.

[the-cunning-swan]

Here's a tip, dear. If you want actual gossip to spread, make it somewhat believable. And relevant. I have never dyed my hair in my entire lifetime, and it will stay that way.

[the-cunning-swan]

Curiouser and Curiouser || Narcissa and Rita

[relentlessrita-blog]

Rita rolled her eyes. She definitely did not have time to deal with another egocentric Slytherin. “You’re the one who asked about it in the first place, genius. And I don’t just give my secrets away to anyone who asks.” 

Davies hooted softly, offering her tiny leg. Rita attached the envelope carefully and sent the owl off into the morning sky. Hopefully Davies would be able to reach London quickly enough that her application would be seen by midday. She didn’t have connections in the Prophet, but she’d be damned if she’d let that hurt her changes.

With a strained smile, she turned back to the younger blonde. “Don’t worry your pretty little head about me, ducky. I’m perfectly fine, not that I actually believe your little pretense. What’s your game, darling?”

[the-cunning-swan]

Narcissa remained impassive. "But you'll give away other people's?" She tapped her free forefinger against her lips lightly. "Now, somehow, that doesn't seem right."

She had to bite her lip to hide the smirk that really wanted to spread across her face and proclaim itself to the entire world as she imagined the Rita Skeeter without a tongue. That would certainly help resolve some problems, although the situation wouldn't be completely solved until she couldn't write. What if she had stumps for hands though? Cissa was sure that if she ever wanted to make that a reality, she would just have to ask her sisters and Alecto. She doubted that they would have any problems helping her.

Tilting her head only slightly to the right, she answered the other girl with a sickly-sweet smile. "Mm, I'm sure. My game? Why Rita dear, I couldn't possibly imagine what you mean. Unless I happened to chance upon the girl that's been spreading some rather false rumors about my family, I don't see a problem here. Do you?"

[the-cunning-swan]

Curiouser and Curiouser || Narcissa and Rita

[relentlessrita-blog]

Rita was not nervous. Not at all. Her fingers were certainly not shaking around the thick envelope containing the carefully filled out Daily Prophet internship application along with a letter of recommendation from Professor Flitwick. Not even a hint of shakiness. Nope.

The Owlery was empty, thank god, which wasn’t surprising given the time. She looked for her snip of an owl, Davies, among the white and brown feathers. After what seemed like ages, the tiny owl hooted down at her. Rita smiled, hooting back as Davies flew down to the windowsill next to the blonde and stuck her head under Rita’s hand, demanding pets. Rita liked to take care of her post before the bustle of the castle began in earnest. If you didn’t mind the smell, or the unforgiving predawn chill, it was lovely to hear the soft hooting and clicking of the owls shuffling about while watching the sun rise slowly over the mountains. 

Well, it was lovely until someone else had the same idea. Rita scowled, clutching her envelope tighter, and stole a glance over her shoulder. Narcissa Black, fifth year prefect, Slug Club member, youngest of the three Black girls. The pretty one, where Bellatrix was the insane one, and Andromeda the reserved one. 

"I’ll tell if you tell, Black."

[the-cunning-swan]

One of Narcissa's meticulously grafted eyebrows rose slightly up as she noticed the other girl's fingers clinging onto her envelope like it was the last life preserver available and she was drowning. She pretended not to notice as she petted Screech, who had flown to her and was sensing her tension. She wouldn't let him attack. Not yet, anyway.

"Somehow, I don't think that the contents of anyone's letter besides your own is your business." She continued to pet Screech as he crooned and started to nuzzle her hand. One of the benefits of having a Great-Horned was that they looked scary and they can be used to intimidate people but they were actually just very loyal. And very trainable. For one person, at least. He wouldn't be nearly so nice to anyone else, besides recipients of letters that she sent.

"However, I am increasingly concerned about you, dear Rita. You seem to be suffering of a near-panic attack. Whatever could be the matter?" Narcissa turned to face Rita, with an innocent expression on her face and Screech on her arm, still petting him. 

[the-cunning-swan]

Curiouser and Curiouser || Narcissa and Rita

Druella Black was a nuisance. 

Narcissa would never tell her that to her face in a million years, not even when she was putting her mother in the ground, because she knew that Mother always hears her and will find some way to punish her. Her mother wanted updates on her life every two or so weeks, which wasn't that bad, but Narcissa tires of writing letters and finding time to run up to the owlery in her busy schedule.

At least one good thing would come of this. Unbeknownst to most people, Narcissa did, in fact, own a pet. She was too afraid of getting a cat because Bella might go on a rage and "accidentally" vent her anger on the poor creature. Toads were warty, disgusting, and for people who had self-esteem issues. At least owls were useful in delivering and receiving mail. Her owl's name was Screech and he was a Barn Owl, which she thought befitted her looks and personality. Screech only lived out his name when either the person she was writing to took too long in replying or when she made clear that she didn't like someone. He was especially loyal to her, which was a good trait to find in a mail owl.

As she rounded the corner to enter the Owlery, she wasn't expecting to find anyone else, as it was rather early in the morning. Much to her surprise, as she rounded the bend she caught sight of darker blonde hair that didn't look like her own. Narcissa's hair was much more of a golden blonde. She pretended not to take much of an interest in the other girl as she reached out her hand for Screech. 

"So who are you writing to?"

[the-youngest-bones-deactivated2]

What's Your Pointe? || Amelia & Narcissa

[the-youngest-bones-deactivated2]

She certainly was surprised to see the other girl in the room with her. Amelia must have been so engrossed in the music that she hadn’t even noticed when he had come in. It was out of habit that she lost herself in the music and movement of the dance. An elephant could have stampeded through the room and it was highly likely that she wouldn’t have noticed it.

"You think so?" It wasn’t often that she received praise from anyone that wasn’t her family. Mostly because she had only ever let her family see her dance. Not that she was self conscious about it. Quite the contrary, Amelia just didn’t think anyone would be interested in seeing her in a tutu prancing around on a stage in the guise of a fairy or swan. "Thank you. That means a lot." 

"You’re right you know. It does make me happy. It’s like a place I can escape to and forget everything for a just a little while before I have to go back to the real world." Amelia smiled to herself wistfully before heaving a small sigh. "Sorry that probably sounded silly.

Shooing the newest member of her tiny audience seemed like a bad idea so Amelia nodded quickly and gave her a small smile. “Please, stay as long as you like but it might be more enjoyable if you were to, oh I don’t know join in?” She looked at Narcissa expectantly, patiently waiting for an answer. Silently she hoped for a dance partner. Solos were well and good but they could get lonely. Not to mention there was more than enough room for someone else to practice in. “What do you say? Want to dance?”

[the-cunning-swan]

"Well I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it, Amelia." She cocked her head, confused. "Why would my opinion mean something to you? I'm a year younger than you and in a very different house, not to mention what different social classes we're in. The only connection we have is that we're both Prefects, albeit different years and houses."

Narcissa knew that she had to play nice with the older girl, especially since her older brother was the Head Boy. "I know what you mean. My mother enrolled me in dance classes when I was younger and it filled me with-" she struggled with her wording "-with that feeling that you get when everything falls into place. Is that what you mean?" Cissa shook her head. "No, it doesn't sound silly; I understand what you're trying to say."

Giving the older girl a small, yet cautious smile, she nodded. "I would love to dance with you, Amelia. I have to give you warning, though, I haven't danced in a while so I know that I'll be rusty." 

She closed her eyes briefly, wishing for a leotard, a pair of leg warmers, pointe shoes, and a proper place to change. When she opened her eyes, she walked over to a small enclosed space that wasn't there before. In that space, she quickly changed into the requested items before ducking under the curtain that had closed her off from the other girl and walking onto the floor. 

"If you want to keep warming up, then by all means, please do. I think for now, I'll just stretch and see how much I can remember how to do before I attempt dancing, if that's alright with you."
