A song-fic from the point of view of Narcissa Malfoy, who, as you'll probably notice, is rather bitter about being passed over by her husband for a bunch of losers in masks. I actually wrote the sequel to this story before I wrote this one, so if you've already read 'Skylark', it'll probably make more sense after you read 'Silver Springs'. The song 'Silver Springs' belongs to Fleetwood Mac, as does 'Rhiannon', on which the sequel ('Skylark') is based. ~Silver Springs~

by Belladonna Sinistra

You could be my silver spring

Blue-green...colours flashing

I would be your only dream

Your shining autumn…ocean crashing…

Don't say that she's pretty

And did you say that she loves you?

Baby, I don't want to know…

A match made in heaven…that was how we started out, wasn't it, Lucius? You were my one and only, and I'm willing to bet that I was yours. But then you fell in with them, and everything started to fall apart. You say they need you, and that they accept you, but I know that's not true. They'll only accept you for as long as they have a use for you, my love, but I don't think you can see that. If you can't, then baby, I don't want to know…

So I'll begin not to love you

Turn around, you'll see me running

I'll say I loved you years ago

And tell myself you never loved me

Don't say that she's pretty

And did you say that she loves you

Baby, I don't want to know

And can you tell me, was it worth it?

Baby, I don't want to know…

I used to believe that you could be a good person, Lucius. Way back when we first started out together, I used to think that I loved you, and that you loved me in return, but now I know that I was just fooling myself. You don't love anyone but that creature who made you into his dribbling little lapdog. Well Lucius, if you ever stop to look back, you'll see me, and you'll see Draco, running. Running from you, and everything you've become. Can you honestly tell me that the pursuit of power is worth giving up your family for? If you can, then I don't want to know…

Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me…

I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me…

I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you

You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you…

Whatever happened to the love that we used to have, Lucius? We could have been great together, you know. You wanted power, and I could have given it to you, but instead you chose the easy way, the sell-out way. Time may have cast its spell on your memory of our love, but I'll make sure you never forget me…Everything you could have had, everything you gave up in your quest for ultimate power, I'll make sure it haunts you for the rest of your days. You say I have no power over you, Lucius, but we both know that's not true- you'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you…
