Nikola Destler hurriedly packed her bags and Vanished them. She was packing for her coming of age trip; every Destler has to go out to the forests of Albania and live there for a year. When they come back, the now of age Destler would take over the family business and assets. The Destlers of the previous generation would go retire to a humble manor in Wiltshire.

Nikola was 17 and she just graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was March of 1980- the year before Lord Voldemort was defeated. Obviously, her parents had second guesses about sending Nikola out into the wilderness without their protection. They decided to perform the Fidelius Charm on her and they made two people the Secret Keepers: Jean Destler (mother) and Nikola.

When she was finished getting ready (the coming of age trip started with a feast, so she had to put on dress robes) Nikola ran downstairs and sat down at the family dinner table. Her mother and father smiled, but her brother, Ares, scowled. Ares was a bit ticked off when Nikola got her letter and he didn't. The Destler family doesn't allow Squibs to take care of their assets.

After everyone was settled, the Destler house-elves came out and served the feast. The Destlers silently ate their meals for about ten minutes. Only Ares broke the silence. "I am thinking about taking a Kwikspell course. Then, I won't be a Sq- well, you know…"

Sean Destler laughed coldly. "You have never picked up a wand without causing a pyrotechnic display," he spat. "And you can't even make a Shrinking Solution without melting the damn cauldron! Your Draught of Death is nothing compared to dear Nikola's! What makes you think that this Kwikspell Course will help you! YOU CAN'T DO MAGIC!" Ares glared at his steak.

Sean Destler didn't see the way Ares stabbed his meat after he turned around. He didn't see it get set on fire under Ares' glare, either

To change the subject, Nikola said "Ares, I believe that I can help you with this Kwikspell course when I get back." Ares nodded hopelessly. They both knew that if Nikola kept to her word, it would be a year before Ares would be able to perform magic. In real terms, it would take much longer, but they didn't know that, did they?

Narcissa Black hurriedly put on her wedding dress and talked to her bridesmaids. She was going to get married to the WONDERFUL auror, Damien Hecate.

She got ready to walk down the isle when she heard screams echoing throughout the wedding chapel- there was a Death Eater attack going on! Narcissa and her friends ran outside just in time to see Damien fall to the ground, dead. "Morsmordre!" someone yelled. The Dark Mark was flung up in the sky. More screams echoed through the wedding chapel. Someone grabbed Narcissa by the waist and she was side along Apparated to a Death Eater camp.

Narcissa was thrown unceremoniously on the floor and looked up to face her doom. Doom by the name of Lucius Malfoy.

Later that night, Narcissa was forced into marriage with Lucius Malfoy and conceived their first child.
