Wow. It's been a while since I even looked at this. I'm sorry I hadn't updated this sooner. So here is chapter two again I'm so sorry for the long wait. Narcissa finally has enough and opens up to one of her sisters about her feeling for Remus Lupin. Her sister in turn tells Narcissa a secret to which sparks an idea in Narcissa's mind. So without further ado here is Narcissa's Confession. I hope you all enjoy.
Narcissa had run back to the Slytherin Common Room not stopping when her sister Andromeda had called after. She didn't feel like talking. She didn't want to be told that she should be the dutiful daughter and do as her parents told her. She just wanted to keep the small conversation she just had with him in her memory. As fresh as if it had just happened.
Reaching the entrance to the Common room she quickly shouted, "Butterbeer," and the door swung open. Not stopping after she closed the door behind her she raced all the way up to her dormitory room. Flinging herself on her bed she couldn't contain the sobs anymore.
A few minutes went past and she heard a soft knock on the door. Couldn't the other girls see she wanted to be left alone? She just wanted to wallow in her own pity.
"Cissa," came the voice on the other side of the door, "it's me."
Andromeda. What could she want? Narcissa sighed as she climbed off her bed and walked over to the door of her dorm opening to let her sister in. She walked back over to the bed she'd just left curling up on her side.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Andromeda asked sitting down next to her. "I'm here for you if you do."
Narcissa sat up and looked at Andromeda and the earnest look on her sister's face convinced her more than the words that she had said. Sighing she looked at her hands that had begun to fidget in her lap.
"Is about what Bella brought up earlier?" she asked in concern. "It wasn't right of her to say anything about that. It is mother and father's place to talk to us about our marriages. Not Bella's."
"I know," Narcissa sighed wiping her eyes. "And it is about what Bella brought up earlier."
Andromeda watched her carefully noticing there was something that she wasn't saying. "Want to say whatever it is that you aren't saying?" she asked quirking an eyebrow at her sister.
Narcissa looked at Andromeda in shock. How had Andromeda known she was hiding something? Then again Narcissa wasn't very good at hiding things from her older sisters.
"I don't want to marry Lucius Malfoy," she whispered quietly.
"I know," Andromeda put her arms around Narcissa's shoulders. "Do you think that I want to marry Yaxley? Yaxley of all people."
Narcissa laughed at this causing Andromeda to join her.
"Do you ever just wish you could pick your own husband?" Narcissa asked out of the blue. "I mean if you really liked someone besides the person our parents chose for you."
Andromeda nodded. She leaned towards Narcissa. "I'll tell you a secret if you tell me one of your own," she told the younger girl with a smile.
Narcissa nodded excitedly. It had been a while since they had all shared secrets together and she was missing those times more than anything. Although she knew Bellatrix wouldn't like her secret she wanted to share it with one of her siblings.
"You go first," Andromeda told her fear coloring her voice.
"Okay," Narcissa replied still fidgeting with fingers. "I think I like someone besides Lucius Malfoy."
"Is he a Slytherin?"
"No. He's from another house."
"Is he a pureblood?"
"I don't think so." It was clear that Remus wasn't a pureblood from how he spoke about her telling her family how she felt. She blushed as she remembered their brief conversation.
"Can you tell me who he is?"
Blushing furiously she looked up at Andromeda with a shy smile. "Remus Lupin," she came the whispered reply.
"I didn't hear you clearly. I thought you said Remus Lupin."
"I did." She watched Andromeda's face to make sure that she wasn't being laughed at. To her relief and shock her older sister didn't laugh at her at all. "Your turn Meda."
Andromeda drew in a deep breath. "After I graduate from Hogwarts I'm running away and marrying a Muggle-born named Edward Tonks," came the perfectly calm voice of her usually rational sister. "I want you to be part of the wedding, Cissa, but I understand if you don't want to be. I love him and he loves me."
"I don't think, Mother or Father, would let me," she told her older sister. "But if I could I would be there." She hugged her older sister to her. "I just want us all to be happy."
"Don't tell, Bella," Andromeda asked as she hugged back. "I don't think she'd understand as well as you do."
"I won't. I promise."
As she watched Andromeda leave the room looking happy Narcissa couldn't resist the thought that she could be happy too. Maybe she could have a relationship and happiness with Remus Lupin. It wouldn't hurt to try. Right?
I hope you all enjoyed Narcissa's Confession. I will hopefully on Wednsday update this again. Maybe the have the next chapter be from Remus' point of view. Or have another conversation between Remus and Narcissa. I'm really getting into writing this pairing. It's beginning to become one of my OTPs.
