Narcissa always attended The Dark Lord's meetings, not because she enjoyed hearing what The Dark Lord had to say, in fact they made her feel quite sick. Oh yes she agreed with how Pure Bloods are the only ones who are worthy of magic, and how Muggle-Borns are scum of the earth, but something about The Dark Lord made her stomach turn, this time a bit more than usual, she attended the meetings to support her husband, The Dark Lord favoured Lucius and herself which was lucky but he still made her feel uncomfortable he always looked at her funny, joked about how different Bellatrix and herself were, in looks and in personality. Did it humiliate them? Yes, Narcissa especially, she knew from the moment she could understand proper conversation that she was different. It was late in the evening the sky was dark and the stars were appearing.

"Lucius, is your wife bored of our conversation?" The Dark Lord asked, Narcissa was too busy trying not vomit that she forgot to listen. Those around the table started laughing. Bellatrix sent her sister a glare how dare she humiliate her like that, "Narcissa? Do I bore you?"

"No...no My Lord," Narcissa answered in a whisper, she was pale almost transparent, though before she could continue talking her throat tightened up, "Excuse me," with no time to run she had to apperate, bad mistake. Next thing her breakfast was entering The Lestrange's toilet bowl. Bellatrix following orders had been sent to find her sister, she only followed the order as it meant she could scold her sister for embarrassing her.

It didn't take the elder Black sister to find the younger, all you had to do was follow the sounds of retching, "Narcissa open up," Bellatrix demanded, of course despite being not very polite, she did know better than to walk in on someone in the bathroom. Having once discovered that as a child, it wasn't her fault Bellatrix always said when Rodolphus took great pleasure in humiliating his then future wife. This was before they were married off and Bellatrix had been playing hide and seek with Rabastan. The two were six and four at the time, Bellatrix knew how to play hide and seek she often played it with her two sisters. She knew how to hide but also knew how to make Narcissa cry, it was a fun game; forget the youngest and listen to her parents scold their daughter for embarrassing them, she never had much sympathy even when Narcissa was two and still learning the rights and wrongs of being a pureblood she found it ever so entertaining watching the toddler cry. The bathroom was always her best hiding spot so when she entered to find her future husband naked it had been awkward ever since for Bellatrix.

Narcissa finally finished vomiting and straightened up, "Bella go away," she demanded of her older sister, "I know you're mad at me for embarrassing you, but I'm not in the mood," she added before having to sit down, her head felt light, her knees were weak and to stop her from fainting she leant on the edge of bath with her head in her hands.

"Fine but don't say I didn't knock," she used non-verbally alohamora which when the door crashed open, Narcissa jumped knocking shampoo, conditioner and body scrub off the bath. Bellatrix shut the door and locked it before standing arms folded her black curly hair wasn't tied up so it fell past her breasts but it still looked glamorous, "I don't care if you're not in the mood, when you're in my house you don't act like some common mudblood! Are you pureblood or not Narcissa?!" Bellatrix yelled which made her sister jump, "I'm talking to you."

"Sorry," she mumbled.

"I'm sorry, speak up," Bellatrix demanded, "What is wrong with you?!"

Narcissa stood up to leave but Bellatrix stood in her way, "Out of my way Bella," Narcissa ordered but Bellatrix didn't move, "I said move."

"And I asked what is wrong with you?" Bellatrix answered back, though Narcissa didn't have time to reply as not long after she was back vomiting in the toilet bowl. Bellatrix whilst Narcissa was vomiting summoned from the cupboard something that looked like a do it yourself potions kit, it read Home Pregnancy Test Potion. Her little sister surely couldn't be but she had the idea that if she found out with Narcissa, at least she won't get any grief for being a bad sister, "Cissy, I'm not the best at being a good sister...but take this," she tapped the box on her sister's shoulder, "Mother gave it to me, she's determined for me to give Rodolphus an heir. However given this situation I think you need it more," Bellatrix was about to leave before Narcissa called her back.

"Bella...will you urmm, help me?" Narcissa asked, Bellatrix looked shocked how was she supposed to help?! "Just read the instructions for me?"

"Can't you read?" Bellatrix sarcastically remarked as she snatched the parchment full of instructions, "The two tubes should if pregnant, turn blue. All you have to do is fill it with the mixing potion and then to allow it to confirm...you...I'm going out for this one, I'm pretty sure you can urinate on your own-"

"Out," she ordered and Bellatrix left, she paced outside, waiting for her sister, she never felt any love really for either of her sisters, but she deep down had a bit of a soft spot for Narcissa, however she only really started being less horrible to her after Andromeda left, maybe it was a way of grieving for her sister despite the fact Bellatrix never grieved, she did feel deep down angry and hurt for her sister betraying her. Narcissa opened the door and sighed, "You can go if you want."

"Well you can't read can you?" Bellatrix replied sarcastically and Narcissa allowed herself to laugh, "You can either do this with Lucius or mother?" Bellatrix saw Narcissa try to think of a comeback but she failed.


The two sisters were knelt down beside the bath, Narcissa mixed the two ingredients needed together and waited for the potion to tell her the result, "Why are you doing this Bella? You've never really cared for me before," Narcissa asked confused at how her sister was actually bothering to wait with her.

"Do I have to have a reason?" Bellatrix asked as she stood up to walk around, her attention span was still at the stage of a two year old, "Don't know why mother got me that, she knows I'm not bothered about children," she said to herself she walked over to the window, "Everyone knows you were going to have kids or at least one."

"Maybe if you actually showed some affection to Roldolphus maybe you might actually end up getting somewhere," Narcissa suggested but she kept her eyes on the brewing potion, "Bella how long did the instructions say I had to wait?" Narcissa looked up at her sister who wasn't listening, "Bella!"

"What?!" she snapped then sighed, "Right...time...urmm I believe it said about ten fifteen minutes," she then continued to pace around the bathroom, "What do you think Lucius will say?" she asked, Narcissa knew that Bellatrix couldn't keep up her niceties for that long, she had to make some worry come to her sister.

"I don't know, we have discussed children but not really in great detail, not now Bella please I'd rather discuss this when I'm not watching my urine turn blue or red," Narcissa then had no time to wait as suddenly the potion turned a blue colour, her eyes went wide whilst Bellatrix's went almost green with envy, now she'll never hear the end of it, not just by her mother; her father, her aunt, her husband and her in-laws, "What do I do now?" she asked sounding almost childlike.

"I'm not the one to tell you that Cissy...we best get back to The Dark Lord, you know he does not like to be kept waiting...we've waisted his time enough."

"Bell-"

"Just get out of here Cissy," Bellatrix practically kicked her out the door before herself she followed, neither sister had realised that there was still a potion brewing, and without supervision it was likely to explode, "Are you OK to apperate?" she asked.


Firstly Narcissa entered with her head held high, "Sorry My Lord, I did not mean to disturb the meeting," Narcissa bowed her head down before taking her seat next to her husband, underneath she felt his hand place on top of hers, she looked up at him which he then tried to use his face to say 'are you OK'? with her hand she squeezed his to ensure him she was fine.

Bellatrix came in second slightly glaring at her sister, "Sorry My Lord...I can assure you my family won't be embarrassing myself and Rodolphus like that again," she sat down and turned her eye onto her master.

"If you excuse me," Rabastan who lacked the values that his brother had, "I need the bathroom."

"Are you telling me you have been waiting all this time when we have about three?" Rodolphus asked going bright red, trust his brother to humiliate him like this. Rabastan said nothing as he ran, ran to the nearest bathroom he could find, "My Lord please forgive me, if I knew he was going to be such a pain I would've-"

"This is not yours or Bellatrix's fault, if your siblings cannot act rationally then that's their problem," The Dark Lord smirked, "It won't reflect on you, or yourself Bellatrix."


Rabastan was just washing his hands when he heard a bubbling sound, and then smoke started to arise, "Oh no," just on cue the potion exploded it rose to the ceiling before splattering Rabastan in blue, "BELLA!" he screamed. His face soon looked like he was about to cry when he figured out what had just exploded on him, the box containing the equipment and the parchment had been left where they were, "NARCISSA!" he yelled.


Both sisters suddenly had to look at each other, "I thought you," Narcissa mouthed to her sister.

"I thought you had," Bellatrix mouthed back, she was never the tidy one that was Narcissa, "Criply!" Bellatrix shouted and with a pop there came their house elf, "Clean up the bathroom and ensure Rabastan has a wash."

Though it was a bit too late for Criply to inform Master Rabastan as he was already there, "Please tell me...that this is not what I think I have been covered in!" he yelled.

"Rabastan if you are going to make a scene get out," Rodolphus ordered his brother out, "We will discuss this in private later," he grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and forced him out, "Criply will make sure you have a wash," Rodolphus walked back in humiliated, "My Lord I cannot apologize-"

"There is no need to apologize, it has already been done," he jumped in causing Rodolphus to sit down and glare at the seat which did locate his brother, "Now Lucius, you're doing well in deceiving the Ministry, Bellatrix I can assure you that I will not think bad of you because of the recent events caused by Narcissa; however what are you planning on doing with your blood-traitor sister?" he asked almost like he was taunting her, "Have you tried to track her down?"

"I can assure you, myself and Narcissa are doing all we can to track her down, she must pay for the shame that was put on the family. Regulus has yet to avenge his blood-traitor brother," she looked over at the young man who looked almost terrified.

"Yes...Regulus, what are you going to do to your brother?" The Dark Lord asked curiously.

"I believe it has been discussed that I torture him for all he did to me, to my mother and my dear father. I have dueled against him many times, and I am determined to make sure he knows all he did," Regulus sounded brave, but Narcissa could hear in his voice that thinking about hurting his brother was actually torturing him instead, "He will not go unpunished."

Narcissa looked over at him and gave him a reassuring look, which said everything will be OK.


Finally after The Dark Lord departed Narcissa tried to avoid everyone including her husband, however he was able to find her, "Cissy?" Lucius called he found her sat outside on the balcony of the guest room in The Lestrange's house, "Narcissa?" he called again.

"Go away Lucius," she was sat her back against the railings and her knees were up to her chest, she couldn't figure out if the cool breeze was helping a hot flush or if she was just enjoying it, "I just need time alone."

"Narcissa, I know you, I know Bella, she would not have stayed with you that long if she knew something wasn't up," Lucius knelt down to her level and Narcissa turned her face away, "What is wrong Narcissa?" he asked as he used his left hand to turn her face to look at him, "Please tell me."

"I'm pregnant Lucius," she replied and she waited for him to up and leave, waited for his face to whiter than it already naturally was, "Well aren't you going to run?"

"No, why would I?" he asked taking her cold hands in his, "You're pregnant Narcissa."

"Why aren't you mad?" she asked.

"Because this is what we've been waiting for," Lucius replied and Narcissa looked at her husband with a gleam in her eyes, "Didn't you always discuss with me at Hogwarts? What we would call our first? We've known each other since we were children, I was your dance partner remember? At those ballroom lessons. There is no one else I would want a child with," he reassured and Narcissa knelt forward in to kiss him, in which Lucius replied with a kiss back, "Do you remember when we danced outside under the stars?" he asked and Narcissa nodded remembering that night, it was cold but Lucius's presence made her feel much warmer, "And you told me about all your family members," he knelt up slightly groaning, he had been having trouble with his knees since his incident on a broomstick in his third year, "How they always had a namesake and you didn't?" Lucius wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck, which Narcissa laughed as it tickled, "Well I found your namesake, you're a daffodil, so I had this made for you," he pulled out of his cloak a necklace with a flower pedant on, "On the back it says: you're prettier than a star, brighter than the moon, there was a garden full of flowers but I chose you," he read out and Narcissa took it in her hand.

"Lucius," she slowly turned around and looked up at him with her big blue eyes, "It's beautiful, I, thank you," she didn't need to say much as she knew one thing, that Lucius could read her like a book.

"How about we dance under the stars?" he suggested then slowly kissed her on the lips, his forehead rested against hers they were both looking into each other. The balcony was big enough to dance, Narcissa looked up to find a Dragon formed in the sky, "What are you looking at?" Lucius asked curiously.

"Draco...Draco the Dragon," Narcissa replied with a fondness in her voice, "If you look up there between the big dipper and the little dipper, there's a dragon," she used her wand to help guide him, "See?"

"If I say yes do we still get to dance?" he asked and Narcissa affectionately laughed.

"Maybe I'll see my Uncle another day," she whispered to herself, before taking her hand in Lucius's and then rested her head against his strong chest.


Whilst Narcissa and Lucius danced, Bellatrix and Rodolphus were making their way into bed, "What was wrong with Narcissa?" Rodolphus asked as he blew out the lantern he had just placed on his bedside table.

"Nothing...she's just weak stomached," Bellatrix answered not really sure whether if she should tell Rodolphus or not, "Anyway she's got Malfoy to worry for her," Bellatrix answered before turning over on the left side. She had never felt this much envy before towards her sister, she wasn't jealous that her sister was pregnant, she was jealous as it meant her accomplishments once again wouldn't be noticed by her family, it will always be Narcissa, Narcissa will always despite her name not being a star, she would always be the star of the show.

"Do I detect envy?" Rodolphus joked but he got no reply and knew it was best to leave her alone.

A/N: I plan to carry this on to show how each person will react to Narcissa's pregnancy, I also want to explore Bellatrix and how she feels about this. Along with how Lucius is able to support her with his duties to The Dark Lord. A shout out to TinieLexie who is a great person to talk to about Lucissa and the Black family :).

I also want to let you know I am British and HP is set in the UK so if I use British words and spellings which you don't get just drop me a PM ha
