Chapter 1:- Narcissa's point of view

Narcissa kept her poise and managed to look cool and collected even though she wanted to strangle Agrippa Nott so she would stop her incessant gossip.

'And did you know that she actually married the muggle!' Agrippa whispered in a scandalous tone. As if stupid Emlyn Burke who refused the marriage her parents had arranged for her and instead chose to marry a common mudblood had deeply offended Agrippa.

'Not like me' Narcissa thought smugly. The very influential and handsome Lucius Malfoy had been courting her for the past month and Narcissa was expecting a proposal any day now.

The engagement would hopefully make up for the shame her family had endured when Andromeda had run off with the mudblood. Stupid Droma.

'But Cissy dear, didn't you're sister run off with a mudblood as well?' Agrippa said her eyes bright with interest, thinking she had finally broken through Narcissa Blacks cold façade.

Narcissa leveled Agrippa with a cool glance which made the foolish woman gulp nervously.

'I do not understand what you're suggesting as I only have one sister and you very well know that she is a married woman.' Narcissa said scathingly.

The other woman fumbled over her words so much it was almost humorous.

"Or are you accusing my sister of both associating with mudbloods and infidelity?"

'Cissy darling, you know I didn't mean it like that!'

'I do?' Narcissa said whilst raising an eyebrow mockingly.

'Yes of course! I just meant your other sister.'

'You must have faulty ears. Why can you not register that I clearly stated I have only one sister?'

'Now Cissy don't be angry but I must be off now! Good bye.'

Agrippa finally rushed off and left Narcissa to thank the hostess and apparate home. If it was anyone but Narcissa, she probably wouldn't be able to get away with treating Agrippa this way. But Agrippa had always been intimidated by her and her surname. The Black name was very powerful.

'Narcissa! Where have been? You must get ready at once dearest, Lucius is taking you out to lunch.' Her mother said, looking quite flustered.

She had recently become the apple of her parents eyes ever since she managed to capture the eye of Lucius Malfoy. The Malfoys were good and influential purebloods so it would the perfect way to bond the two families.

Narcissa sighed and started to go through her multiple dress robes. She picked out a lovely ice blue to match her piercing eyes. She started to think about the day she purchased those robes

Flashback

"Cissy! We've been here all day and you still haven't picked out which ones you like best!"

"Droma dear, please don't screech like that. It makes you sound like a common fish-wife."

"Cissy stop acting all high and mighty and hurry up."

Narcissa kept her cold expression on for a second longer before bursting into laughter. It felt so nice to laugh and she couldn't let her guard down long enough to laugh much. unless it was with Andromeda. Droma was frozen for a second before bursting into peals of giggles.

"Ugh Cissy I'm trying to be stern here! Look, I'll even help you pick out some nice robes."

Cissy inwardly smiled before primly saying "Alright then, lets get a move on."

Droma picked up some beautiful dress robes. They were a perfect ice blue that matched Cissys' eyes. They were tight from the top before gently loosening up and swirling around the bottom with perfect imitations of icicles near the bottom.

"Perfect!"

Andromeda smiled and gently said "I thought so too"

It really shouldn't have surprised Narcissa or Bella when Droma ran away with the muggle. It wasn't surprising but it still hurt. Then again how was one supposed to expect the very worst of their own sister? Their own flesh and blood? 'Stop. She isn't your flesh or blood any longer and it is entirely her fault.' Even in her thoughts Narcissa was controlling.

But Bella hadn't reacted as she had. No, Bella made sure that every trace of Droma was gone while Narcissa was holed up in her room feeling upset, betrayed and above all, disgusted. Lucius had said she had to snap out of her habit of calling her 'Droma.' He said that she was lucky she wasn't punished for speaking of her so often but referring to her so fondly would cause trouble but she just couldn't refer to her sister so…formally.

"Narcissa, what are you doing! Lucius will be here in five minutes!" Her mother screeched. It was enough to snap her out of her daydream and push unnecessary memories to the back of her mind. She focused on the present " Lucius. Here. Five minutes. Oh Merlin!"

-A/N: Hi guys :) I hope you like my story so far! I just wanted to note that Agrippa means sick or painful in Latin and Emlyn means rival. Maybe the next chapter will be from Lucius's point of view?

Thanks for reading
