How
did I get here?
By Delia
Diablo
Time stopped. She realized, finally, what she had become. She heard voices around her but they didn't make any sense. Shouting, screaming, all cheering. How could they cheer when she had done some thing so horrible.
Narcissa Jackson, soon to be Narcissa Malfoy, had killed her first muggle. She reflected back on her life, how had she come to this. How, in her desperation to prove herself, had she finally stooped to killing muggles. She was just another worthless death-eater.
She hadn't intended to follow in her fathers footsteps. Even as a little girl she had never wanted to be like him. He was one of Voldemort's supporters from back when he was known by most people as Tom Riddle. He had all sorts of death-eater meetings. She hated them. All those strange men in her house. When she went to Hogwarts she was sorted into Slytherin. Her father was so proud. She asked if , perhaps the hat had made a mistake. She made friends with some nicer Slytherins. There are some that are good people in a bad house. Her father had never approved of those friends. Their fathers worked in the ministry and were not death-eaters. When she came home for summer holidays her father forbade her to write to them. To get around that she always sent her letters care of her boyfriend. She could talk to him because his father was a death-eater but Lucius was nothing like his father.
By the time they graduated she had totally and utterly failed to make friends her father approved of. The only exception was Lucius. Her father didn't know that, no matter who his father was, Lucius was not going to be a death-eater. The two of them were very much in love and they moved in together a year after they graduated. Narcissa got a job at the Daily Prophet. Lucius got a job as a runner for a ministry official. A year later Lucius asked her to marry him.
It had been two years. The date was set. In a month and a half she would be Mrs. Lucius Malfoy. Some how, in the two years sense her sweet and loving boyfriend had asked her to be his wife, they had changed. They were evil now. Just like their fathers. She didn't really know how it had happened. It started when both their fathers had announced that they were no longer going to support them financially. For two spoiled rich kids that was not easy. Then three months ago Lucius' father died, leaving the whole estate to them, if they became death-eaters. The last straw, though, was last month when she found out she was pregnant. They knew that they could not raise a child on our small salaries. They finally had to give.
So here she was. Death-eaters were laughing and cheering all around her. She hoped she and Lucius would never grow to like this. She also hoped that they manage to do right by their child, raise it right, the way their parents should have done. She hoped things would go better for her child, she was told it was a boy, a son, she decided to call him Draco.
