He used to be a star
someone who could shine
someone who cared
someone who loved
and she
[ h a t e d ]
what he'd become
because she knew
that he wasn't
really
like that
&& there was a time when they
loved
each other
didn't they?
But now it was all
the Dark Lord this
or the Dark Lord that
as if he'd married the Dark Lord
not her
&& he had been the one who'd said
he didn't want to be like those
who bent to the will of others
because he was
strong
proud
independent
but s t i l l
he became what he
said
he didn't want to be.
&& as if all of that wasn't enough
he dragged Draco into this
W A R.
he sent his own s o n
knowing Draco wouldn't
S U R V I V E
&& that had made her realize
maybe he wasn't so perfect
as she'd thought he was
and she couldn't be his
s a v i o u r,
not when he didn't want to be saved
he wanted this
he deserved this
because of what he'd
C O N D E M N E D
their son to
and she'd be
d a m n e d
if they all expected her to just
sit tight
enjoy the show
not do anything
...
so she does what she has to
and turns traitor
at the cost of her life
because
deep down
she knows she
[ l o v e s ]
him still
and the life of their son is
the most
I M P O R T A N T
…
so she feels for the
heartbeat
and says
harry potter
is
D E A D
( just like her own heart is
because she knows there's no hope
even after it all )

AN:
Written for LittleMissWesley's Freeverse Song Challenge.
The song given to me was:
Circle The Drain by Katy Perry
I just loosely based this freeverse on the meaning of someone having changed to become someone they and the person they loved hated.
And I know, I know, that Narcissa always loved Lucius, and Lucius always loved Narcissa, but when you're at war and the person with the most power in the world was in your house, you tend to lose your sanity a little. You jump to conclusions and blame quickly, and this is Narcissa at the height of her paranoia. She thinks this is all Lucius' fault, and she's frightened for her son.
That's all there is to it.
