Author's Notes: Written for ThisLife103.7's "OTP with a Twist" Challenge on xoxLewrahxox's Bellatrix Lestrange: The Dark Lord's Most Faithful forum. The prompts given (in this case) were: hotel room, dictionary, and 'blood is thicker than water'.


When I was 17 years old, my family and I stayed at a hotel because our house was

renovated. I shared my hotel room with my sister, Bellatrix. One day, someone knocked at my door.

''Who is it?'' I asked with curiosity.

'' Narcissa, it's me...Lucius Malfoy,'' said a very familiar voice.

I was very surprised and excited to see Lucius standing in front of me.

'' Lucius,'' I said, smiling with happiness,'' I didn't expect to see you! What brings you here? ''

'' I came here to give you this,'' he said and he handed me a French-English dictionary.

I was very disappointed. It was the worst gift I ever received!

'' Thank you very much for your gift, '' I said with a pleasant voice. '' A dictionary it's very useful''.

'' Cissy, open it to page 120,'' he looked at me as if he knew something I didn't

know.

I opened it and I found a letter. I read the letter with curiosity:

'' Dear Cissy,

Our parents decided that you must marry me this summer. With love, your fiance. ''

I was so happy! I was in love with him since I was 14 years old and I always wanted to marry him.

I was speechless and after a moment Lucius said:

'' Aren't you happy to hear the news?''

'' Lucius, words can't describe my happiness,'' I said. '' I love you very much!''

'' I love you too!'' he said. '' May I see your budoar ?''

'' No ! '' I said and my face turned red. '' My mother told me that only one man was the right to see my budoar: my husband.''

'' Cissy, I don't see why you object so much,'' he said. '' It doesn't mean that we do something improper.''

'' Lucius, you must understand that I always do what my mother told me to do,'' I said. '' After all, blood is thicker than water''.

'' You're right'' he said with a smirk. '' I have all the time in the world to see your budoar''.

I will lie if I say that this idea didn't excited me.


A/N: Crissu, thank you very much for your help!
