Based on the movie the Swan Princess and the song This is my Idea, this basically summarizes Lucius and Narcissa's relationship developing into what we see in the HP books where they obviously love each other more deeply and are more faithful to each other than the Dark Lord. Lyrics are italics. Please Review.

Narcissa Black could not remember a time when the Lestranges, Mr. and Mrs. Lestrange along with their two sons Rodolphus and Rabastan hadn't come for Christmas to Blackheath or they hadn't gone to the Lestrange home in Snaresbrook. She much preferred when they stayed in the country, at her home. It was much larger than the London house the Lestranges lived in, and the snow was always immaculately white, not covered in dirty muggle soot and dinge. Also, it was farther from Aunt Wallburga, meaning she was less likely to stop by. The four weeks of the Christmas and New Year Holiday were always spent avoiding the usual clashes between Bella and Rodo, and running from the obnoxious tag along Bastan. However, the highlight was always the wonderful Christmas Ball and New Year Gala.

Narcissa could also remember the first Spring that the horrible Parkinson family had come for the Easter Holiday. She had been but four, but the horrible bitter taste of their very first visit had been enough to burn it into her memory forever. Andy had been seven, and had cried almost the entire week. Narcissa couldn't really blame her, especially in retrospect. With his horrid pug dog face, along with the fact that he was nearly Bella's age and already in Hogwarts, Narcissa had thought he was horrible. The weeks of Easter were soon dreaded. As if Pembroke Parkinson wasn't bad enough, he had siblings, all much worse than Bastan. Pandora, Petula, Prunella, and Ptolemy. Every single one of them was absolutely horrible. All of them had horrible table manners, loud grating voices, disgustingly ugly noses, and like Pembroke had beady mean eyes.

She had always in the back of her young mind acknowledged that the families came over because Bella and Rodo would be married, along with Andy and Pemby. It didn't really occur to her that she too would have an arranged marriage anytime soon. Therefore, the summer she would turned seven, she had been quite surprised on the first of June when she had been stuffed into her least favorite frilly pink dress. She much preferred the idea of blue ones, but that was a BOY color on a girl so young, and her mother absolutely refused for her to meet her future husband in such a manner.

"When you're older, you can wear blue to every ball," her mother had said. "Although, green might be better."

"Do you think I'll like him?" she had asked her mother peering out from under her almost too long blond bang as her mother tried to tame her hair into a rather elegant hairstyle for one so young.

"I'm sure you will adore young Master Lucius. He's a very sweet boy, just a year ahead of you, and very bright and handsome."

"Do you think he'd like to play explorers or dragon tamers in the garden with me?" asked Narcissa, thinking of how Andy, now almost eleven and heading off to Hogwarts, and Bella who had been a second year last year were now 'too old' for her favorite games. Druella scoffed at her daughter, thinking unhappily of all the beautiful dolls that were left unplayed with and gathered dust in her room.

"Do you mama?" asked Narcissa again, fidgeting and looking up at her mother. Druella sighed frustratedly and abandoned her efforts to tame her daughter's curls, letting them remain down. It really wasn't worth the effort since Cissa would be running around getting her pretty dress dirty and ultimately ruining her appearance by noon.

"Of course, now when he gets here, you're going to need to curtsy, just like you do whenever the Lestranges and Parkinson's come," said Druella. "And then he'll kiss your hand, just like Rodo and Pemby do for Bella and Andy."

"YUCK!" exclaimed Narcissa, sticking out her tongue and crinkling her nose disgustedly while looking at her hand in horror.

"Now Narcissa," said Druella sternly using her daughter's full name. "You will be on your best behavior while the Malfoy's are here."

"Yes mother," replied Narcissa. "How long will that be?"

"All summer," replied Druella offhandedly before exiting the room, clearly tired of dealing with her youngest daughters antics. Perhaps if she wasn't such a little tomboy, which of course Cygnus adored, or perhaps if her coloring was more like her sisters, she looked so unBlack-like, or perhaps if she was a bit more demure and not so outspokenly opinionated about things, often arguing with her siblings once her mind was set to something.

Narcissa pouted prettily watching her beautiful mother glide out of the room, obviously in search of one of her preferred daughters. She hated being the baby, overlooked, and she thought, perhaps somewhat unwanted. She wanted to cry, but she had to look nice for Lord and Lady Malfoy and Lucius. Yuck. At least he didn't have any siblings.

Lucius meanwhile frowned at his father while his mother simpered over perfecting his hair. "Why can't I go to Rabastan's house? Or Hyperion's?"

"Because you're going to marry Miss Black, so it's appropriate that you get to know the lass," said Abraxas sternly, having been over this argument numerous times.

"Bastan says he's stuck with her every Christmas," whined Lucius. "Says it's horrible with those Black girls."

"Well, there's only going to be two of them here for most of the summer. Miss Bellatrix is going to be a third year, and her friend Dolores Umbridge invited her over for the majority of the summer," explained Abraxas dryly. "Whatever possessed Cygnus to allow his daughter to go to that imposter of a pureblood's house, is beyond me."

"We're here," said Anastasia Malfoy, sweeping her delicate hands over her elegant robes, getting any imaginary wrinkles out of the expensive fabric. Lucius peered out the window of the carriage they had flown from his home in Wiltshire to see a large elegant yet dark colored house nestled atop a hill overlooking a river with a large forest flanking the extensive back gardens. It was rather a lot like Malfoy Manner, but he still couldn't see why they couldn't have the Blacks come to them and voiced the opinion for the third time.

"They're going to come to us next summer, but it's only customary for us to go to them the first time," replied Anastasia, looking anxiously for her good friend Druella as they approached. "Look, that's her," said Anastasia pointing to the small blond slip of a thing decked in an overly large pink dress. "Doesn't she look nice? Like a Malfoy Abraxas!"

"Yes, very pretty blond hair, I'm glad she didn't take after the rest of the Blacks with that dark hair. Rather a good turn out considering we had no idea what she would look like at three days old," commented Abraxas.

"Bleck, her sister looks way more fun, and prettier too," commented Lucius spitefully.

"Now you'll be nice, and remember how I showed you how to greet her properly," commanded Abraxas.

"I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer," muttered Lucius as his father got out of the carriage and helped his mother down gracefully. Jumping down and landing with a thud, he scowled. "I bet she doesn't wrestle, fly, or box!"

"He looks conceited," whispered Narcisssa to her sister Andy as the boy hopped down from the intimidating black carriage.

"Abraxas, Anastasia, so good to see you again," exclaimed Druella as the guests walked smoothly to the appropriate distance for greetings. "You look well! And this must be little Lucius." She earned a glare from the blond boy for the comment. Druella embraced her longtime friend and allowed Abraxas to kiss her hand while Mr. Black did the same for Mrs. Malfoy and shook hands with his good friend Abraxas. As the adults finished their greetings, the focus shifted to the children and the fact that they had not approached each other. Druella retreated to her daughters and gave the youngest a not so subtle shove in the right direction, earning a disparaging look from her six, almost seven year old.

"What a total bummer," muttered Lucius, seeing that Andromeda was also prettier up close than her sister, not just far away. Even at nearly nine years old, he knew he wanted his future wife to be as beautiful as his mum.

"Go on," Druella whispered, discretely moving her hand in a threatening manner toward her wand, knowing the threat of a small stinging hex to her backside would set her daughter into motion.

Narcissa paused just a second more, whispering to her sister out of the corner of her mouth causing her sister to giggle and distract her mother momentarily as she stepped forward. "Andy, If I get lucky I'll get dragon pox!"

"Welcome to Blackheath, Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy," she said audibly before dipping into a low curtsy and nearly toppling over, much to Druella's chagrin. "It's wonderful to finally make you acquaintance Lucius," she said holding out her hand. "I'm so happy you could come."

Lucius bowed perfectly in return. "So happy to be here, Miss Narcissa," replied Lucius with a sneer at her offending hand. He looked back at his parents as if considering skipping the dreadful act, but a threatening glare from his father did the trick and he swooped down and kissed her hand as rudely as possible and with a loud smack of his lips before retreating as quickly as possible. At this action, Narcissa held her hand away from herself and displayed an obvious expression of disgust. "EEWWW!"

"Narcissa!" exclaimed Druella, appalled by her daughter's behavior. She had told her a million times to smile and show no emotion other than sweetness. How dare she?

"But mummy, he licked my hand!" cowered Narcissa quietly as her mother pulled her back into the folds of her dress robes roughly. "Like a horse!" she glared at the offending boy. He was no prince charming, that was for sure. "OR A DOG!"

How I'd like to run thought Lucius just before his parents turned on him. He glared at the little girl crossing his arms while his father grabbed him roughly by the collar of his robes.

"So, Black, where should I direct the house elves to put our things for our stay?" said Abraxas cooly and casually changing the subject.

This is not my idea
This isn't my idea
Of fun

A few weeks into the summer, the two children had finally been freed from the over polite pleasantries between the two families and were free to roam the estate and "play together". The adults were having an afternoon tea in the garden, the ladies gossiping over the lastest society pages and their husbands discreetly talking business in low tones. Lucius breathed heavily as he sat in the shade of a large hedge. The two of them were playing mudbloods and murders, and although he had tried to convince her that he was in fact the murder, she refused to run from him, and had instead been attacking him. After the fifth time she nearly poked his eye out with her "wand", which was in fact a stick she had found in the garden, he had decided he should just run away and get some peace.

Cowering behind a plant hardly seemed like a Malfoy thing to do, but Cissa was horrible, chasing him around screeching and yelling out curses and spells she had heard of. Honestly, wasn't alohamora used to open doors? Not kill someone!

"HAHAHA!" she cackled in her evilest six-nearly-seven year old voice as she popped through the hedge. "I found you now you horrible mudblood!"

Brandishing his own "wand" he had found, Lucius backed away slowly. Narcissa's hair was full of brown twigs and her face and dress were covered in dirt as if she had fallen down. He backed away slowly, coming to the porch. Grabbing the railing of the porch fence, he pulled and flipped over the fence behind him.

"NO FAIR!" exclaimed Narcissa loudly. "I'm not that tall!" He ran away as quickly as possible as she spent much longer climbing up onto the porch to chase him.

She was fast however, and had caught up to him by the time he reached the steps back off the porch and onto the veranda where their parents were having tea. Using his stick to block hers, he tried to get away as she yelled out spells. "ALOHAMORA! CRUCIO! ACCIDO! LUMOS! AVADA KEDAVA!" She yelled pushing him roughly down the steps and jumping on his back.

"The children seem to get along quite nicely" commented Cygnus calmly taking a sip of tea as the four adults noticed the slight commotion of the two children. Smiles pulled at the corners of their mouths.

"We'll join our bloodlines if this arrangement clicks" joked Abraxas as Lucius escaped his daughter, running into the maze.

"My dear Abraxas, that's the point precisely," laughed Druella, hoping that the merely verbal arrangement that had been set up since her daughter was three days old might go into writing this afternoon and seal the deal.

"It's such good parenting," commented Anastasia with a small smile.

"And politics," agreed the two men at the same time causing them to laugh.

"So happy we agree!" said Druella sensing victory in sight.

"I think we've got a deal," said Abraxas materializing a marriage contract from thin air with his wand.

"Where do I sign?"replied Cygnus looking at the gleeful look on his wife's face. Two of their daughters officially betrothed. Now just about Andy.

"Lucius is quite a catch,"laughed Anastasia as the boy bolted around the corner with Narcissa hot on his heels.

Of a match

The next two chapters are written, so please review, and I'll post them soon. It's a really short fic that just came to me and I HAD to write it. Even though I have about six other stories I should finish/write before this. I know, I'm insane and if you want those stories updated, review them :).I didn't have this beta'd by my sister, so if you noticed anything , do tell. By the way, I did take some liberties with the ages of the sisters especially. However, I preferred they were a little older than Narcissa, therefore, out of the way for most of the story. I'm thinking that Bella is about 13, Andy is 11, and Narcissa is going to be 7 at the end of summer, just after what the Hogwarts cut off would be. Lucius on the other hand will be one of the oldest in his grade, just missing the cut off, making him 9ish. They are almost two years apart, but only one year in school because of how their birthdays fall. Reviews will allow for an update. Thanks!!

EAA
