Stars and the Moon
A Narcissa Drabble songfic
Narcissa Malfoy loved one man, became wooed by one, but ended up marrying another. These are the three times.
I met a man without a dollar to his name
Who had no traits of any value but his smile
I met a man who had no yearn or claim to fame
Who was content to let life pass him for a while
And I was sure that all I ever wanted
Was a life like the movie stars led
And he kissed me right here, and he said,"I'll give you stars and the moon and a soul to guide you
And a promise I'll never go
I'll give you hope to bring out all the life inside you
And the strength that will help you grow.
I'll give you truth and a future that's twenty times better
Than any Hollywood plot."
And I thought, "You know, I'd rather have a yacht
She loved Remus Lupin. While she was looked down upon by her cousin who once resembled a brother figure to her, and his muggleborn, infatuated friend Potter, Remus never ceased to treat her with care. They finally spoke to one another in their 4th year. They had a relationship by 5th. And by 6th she was engaged to another. When she saw him dead on the floor next to the niece she never knew. Tears fell from her eyes as she mourned and sent her patronous out in the shape of a werewolf. She had lost the only man she ever loved.
I met a man who lived his life out on the road
Who left a wife and kids in Portland on a whim
I met a man whose fire and passion always showed
Who asked if I could spare a week to ride with him
But I was sure that all I ever wanted
Was a life that was scripted and planned
And he said, "But you don't understand
"I'll give you stars and the moon and the open highway
And a river beneath your feet
I'll give you day full of dreams if you travel my way
And a summer you can't repeat.
I'll give you nights full of passion and days of adventure,
No strings, just warm summer rain."
And I thought, "You know, I'd rather have champagne."
Alan Rosier was a daredevil. He was a follower of the Dark Lord of course, but from normal pureblood's standards a complete daredevil. He flirted with married women and wooed the ones who weren't. And that is what happened with Narcissa. He whispered sweet words into her ear, promised her wild dreams of running away. Yet when he asked her to run away with him for a summer, she had to decline. Andy had just run away and if she did too, it would breaks her parent's hearts, or more like their plan for her future.
I met a man who had a fortune in the bank
Who had retired at age thirty, set for life.
I met a man and didn't know which stars to thank,
And then he asked one day if I would be his wife.
And I looked up, and all I could think of
Was the life I had dreamt I would live
And I said to him, "What will you give?"
"I'll give you cars and a townhouse in Turtle Bay
And a fur and a diamond ring
And we'll be married in Spain on my yacht today
And we'll honeymoon in Beijing.
And you'll meet stars at the parties I throw at my villas
In Nice and Paris in June."
