A drabble for the Requests challenge on xoxLewrahxox's forum: a fic written for a prompt given by a fellow forum member.
In case it isn't clear, the Muggle references are Katherine Howard and Catherine from Wuthering Heights.
Prompt from Lady Eleanor Boleyn: Roses – Katherine – Betrayal.
Katherine.
Narcissa's teeth ground together.
The name sounded low; dear God, it rang of Muggle tales, infamous queens, crazed ladies.
Betrayal.
The whole situation was horrendous. No one knew, obviously; but what if she told? It would be shame, a revolting stain on their family name.
Oh, how she yearned to slap that bitch, to see her humiliated, grovelling at her feet.
Lucius would come back with roses and apologies, promises. This meant nothing. She was his queen.
The Malfoy family would remain united.
However, it certainly wouldn't damage Lucius' reputation to sleep on the couch for a few months...
