February 1967.

Narcissa Black was a sixteen-year-old girl going to Hogwarts in her sixth year. She was one of the younger girls having turned sixteen the day before boarding the Hogwarts express. She of course didn't look too young; she had long golden hair with light blue eyes, and she had completely filled out over the last four years. Most boys in her grade would give their right arms to have a chance with Narcissa Black, but all were turned down. Narcissa wasn't one for dating in her year; in fact, she was so prissy she wouldn't let a boy near her.

On this particular day, Narcissa and her older sister, Bellatrix, were outside sitting on some snow-covered benches. The two of them wore their black cloaks and matching Slytherin scarves, Narcissa had her poker-straight hair kept out of her face with a black headband and Bellatrix had her bouncy curls just laying about freely on her shoulders and down her back. The students that passed made sure not to speak to the two stone-like girls, sitting so proper in the snow talking of various things. Everyone was two afraid of the Black sister's wrath.

"That's ridiculous." Bellatrix commented on one of the passersby who were wearing a large winter hat.

"I would sooner freeze than wear that dead animal on my head." Narcissa sneered and the both of them began cackling together.

"Well-well, if it isn't the wicked witch of the east, and the wicked witch of the west." A voice from behind caused the girls to stop their merriment in its tracks. They turned their heads in the direction of the voice and shared matching glares.

"Get lost, Sirius." Bellatrix spat.

"If you know what is good for you, you would just walk away." Narcissa added. Their cousin Sirius laughed and all his friends came out from around nearby pillars.

"Now guys!" He laughed loudly and picked up a few snowballs hurtling them at the two girls. Unfortunately, everyone in Sirius' gang had a slower arm than Narcissa who whipped out her wand in a flash and shielded herself and Bellatrix.

"You guys are pathetic." She smirked as the snowballs splattered against her shield. Bellatrix cackled loudly and clapped her hands at the pathetic attack.

"You guys are so lame you made those snowballs by hand!" She snorted pointing a jesting finger at her younger cousin. The snowballs stopped after a few moments and Sirius' smile faded.

"You guys are no fun anymore." He shook his head sadly.

"We stopped being fun when you became a blood-traitor." Narcissa smirked as she and Bellatrix stood up to leave.

"H-hey, Narcissa." One of the more rat-looking boys in Sirius' group smiled up at Narcissa as she passed. She barely gave him a glance and a disgusted grunt before ignoring him completely.

"You know, I'm getting quite tiresome of our dear cousin's pranks." She said once her and Bellatrix were both in the school.

"Well, someday he'll get his." Bellatrix smirked.

The two girls walked on not noticing the group of boys standing in a corner by the doors. They were all in their final year and all in Slytherin, the kind of group you would prefer to stay away from in case of getting beaten up.

"Oi, Malfoy, check it out. The Black sisters just walked by!" One of the guys said with a smirk. All the other guys in the group leaned over him to get a glimpse at the two girls as they walked down the hallway.

"Man, they sure do have a walk, don't they?" Another guy in the group asked with a smirk.

"Shut up, Yaxley." Lucius Malfoy frowned giving his friend a shove in the arm.

"Oh right, I forgot," Yaxley smirked rubbing his arm. "Lucius has a 'thing' for the younger one." The others laughed along with Yaxley, but went silent when Lucius frowned. The group of guys contained seven people, Lucius, Yaxley, Crabbe, Dolohov, Rodolphus, Goyle and Rabastan. They were all alike in the sense that they were men that thought like pigs.

"If it makes you feel any better, Lucius, Rodolphus has a big thing for Bellatrix." Rabastan offered with a smile, but his older brother, Rodolphus, gratefully reimbursed him with a punch to the gut. All the others laughed at him as he fell to the ground.

"Why don't you guys stop being so damn touchy on the subject and ask the girls out?" Goyle suggested as he helped Rabastan up off the floor.

"You've seen those girls act around boys that fancy them!" Rodolphus pointed out. "Do you think I want to loose my balls?"

"You mean they weren't already gone?" Dolohov jested before getting punched in the face.

"Now, now," Lucius smirked. "Rodolphus has a point. Those girls are special… in order to win their hearts, we must be careful." He stroked his chin in thought for a moment.

"I just got an idea!" Crabbe shouted as he pointed his finger to the air.

"You don't need to shout it to the world, dumb-ass." Yaxley bit as he glanced over his shoulder. "Now, what is it?"

"We should have a bet!" Crabbe smirked. The others looked at each other with a questionable look. "Which one of them can get a Black girl without getting seriously injured?"

"That's a great idea!" Dolohov Laughed as he began digging in his pockets for money.

"That's a stupid idea!" Goyle frowned at him. "You can't mess with a pretty girl's heart like that!"

"They wont be, Goyle. They really do like the girls, we're just having a little fun to see who can actually get with one." Dolohov explained. "It's a perfect idea really. I'll put in ten on Lucius."

"I'll put ten on Rodolphus, then." Goyle frowned handing Crabbe his money. They went all around the circle until finally all the money was collected and Crabbe was counting it.

"Let's see then…" He mumbled. "Right, for Lucius I've got forty, and then another fifty from Lucius himself making it ninety…" Lucius smirked as Crabbe continued to count the money. "And for Rodolphus I have seventy."

"Too bad you bet so much. Lucius," Rodolphus smirked. "Because I'll have Bellatrix in my arms faster than you can say 'I've just lost'"

"Dream on, Rodolphus, Bellatrix will rip your head from your body before the week is out." The boys all began laughing as they headed for their common room. Lucius was already in deep thoughts about how he would win the bet. He was almost positive he would win Narcissa Black's heart, and if not, he wasn't about to let Rodolphus win the bet.


A/N: I wanted to write something where Narcissa was different from the way people usually portray her in her young years. There are hints in the book that she's almost, if not just as bad as Bellatrix. I also wanted something where Lucius was the one trying to win her heart and not the other way around.

Tell me what you guys think. I simply must know if I'm going to continue this. This chapter is a little… blah, but I'm hoping to get it up and going in the next few chapters so it's something you'd have to tune in for.

Thanks guys!
