Chapter 1: Broken Glass
When Narsissa woke up, the sun was shining in the window. For a second it was so peaceful that she fell back on her pillow thinking that she could get and extra hour of sleep. Just as she had decided that was what she was going to do a loud shatter resonated from the kitchen.
"Bloody Hell" she mumbled as she got out of bed, the wood cold beneath her feet.
She walked to the kitchen, where in the middle of the floor was a shattered glass, knelt by it was a woman. She had black, curly hair and was wearing a tight corseted dress that went down to her ankles.
"Bella?" Narsissa quickened her pace across the room, she could hear her sister talking to herself.
"My Lord. Please. I tried. Don't hurt me." She let out a blood-curdling scream and began to writhe and twitch around on the ground, as if she was being tortured. Narsissa ran the rest of the way to her sister and pulled her off the ground.
"Bellatrix, calm down. Shh." She calmed down and allowed Narsissa to brush her off. "Where is he? Where is the Dark Lord?" Bellatrix asked looking around. "Bellatrix. He's dead. Don't you remember? The Battle of Hogwarts." Narsissa guided her over to a chair, at the moment Lucius and Draco walked in. Their hair was mused and tussled from sleep. They came to a sudden stop when they saw Narsissa and Bellatrix. When Bellatrix saw Lucius she leapt up and started towards Lucius with and aura of madness about her, her lips pulled in an animal-like snarl. "You" a mad laugh escaped her lips as he pulled out his wand. " Where did you get that? You don't have a wand, yours was broken." She pulled her own wand out and kept advancing on him. "Stupefy" Narsissa was pointing her wand at Bellatrix, sending her flying back onto the ground. She was wearing an expression of anger, disgust, and sadness.
Bellatrix looked up at Narsissa with a look of shock and hurt on her face. She started to cry, it was great heaving sobs almost like a child's. Narsissa looked at her then she said. "Draco, watch her" when he started "bu-" she turned "WATCH HER!" Once she was out of site from Bellatrix, Draco, and Lucius she ran to her bedroom and but a Silencing Charm and locked it.
She flopped down on her bed and cried. She cried for her family Draco and Lucius who would never be trusted again, her sister who was insane and needed help, but who loved Narsissa anyway (one of the few people she loved) , she even cried for the Dark Lord who would never know love.
After the Battle of Hogwarts when Narsissa and Draco had rescued her from Molly Weasly's attack they had taken her in but unfortunately became more unhinged when she heard of the Dark Lord's death than what she had been before when she came back from Azkaban. She would have brief moments of what Narsissa called sanity but mostly it was just living in the past. When Narsissa had finished crying she settled and got dressed, splashing water on her face, brushing out her black and white hair.
