The Black Sister's Tales

Narcissa And Regulus

Narcissa married Lucius. She thought she fancied him at first but she really ended up loving him. He loved her but not with all his heart that still belonged to someone else but Lucius would never cheat on his wife his own father, Abraxs had done that to his mother while Lucius was growing up. She thought it was cute her husband wanted to follow her family's traditions name his son after the stars. Their son Draco Lucius had stolen all of Narcissa's heart. Narcissa loved Draco, like she had loved her cousin Regulus. She was constantly comparing the two in her mind. She though Reggie would have grown up easier without pureblood standers on his shoulders. She couldn't remove those pressures for her darling baby boy. She thought maybe he would need a little sister. Regulus had told her he would trade Sirius for a little sister once. After the Dark Lord fell, her husband stumbled not too far but far enough that Narcissa couldn't imagine bringing another life in to the harsh cruel world she had to face every day.

She would have named Regulus Godfather of Draco but he died before she delivered and a Dead godfather wasn't much good. Lucius named Severus, Draco's godfather. Narcissa didn't pretend she didn't see the longing in Regulus eyes when her little bump began to show. She didn't think he was in love with her. Someone else perhaps a muggle born she didn't know. She never asked because if she knew for sure she would have had to report it. She let Regulus keep his secret.

Lucius had died, shortly after her older sister, it was an accident she had been told. Lucius was helping the new Auror's train, he shouldn't have been and he knew it. Too many stunners hit him at once, at sixty-four years old it was too much coupled with the abuse Tom Riddle had given him Lucius went out softly. The last thing he had told her was he loved her as he walked out the door ready for a day of work.

Narcissa was old for a Black that is. Fifty-seven was longer than her life expectancy said. The truth was she didn't mind dying Draco- or was it Regulus? Her son was married and he had a two sons and a daughter with the Kind Greengrass girl. The musical one.

Her eyes were going she thought when her son walked in the room. He smiled like Regulus did. His eyes, they glittered like Regulus did when he cried over Sirius leaving him. Regulus loved Sirius even if he was a pain in the neck older brother Sirius tried to make Regulus proud to call him his older brother. His was of walking was like Regulus graceful little beat that only Regulus could hear the melody to. Draco seemed to be Regulus in everything. Or was he Regulus? Her mind was muddled again.

"Mama are you alright?"

Narcissa smiled, "Of course not, I'm dying darling."

Her son pulled back from here terror in his eyes, "You can't."

"Baby boy of course I can, it part of being human," Narcissa tell him.

"But Cissie, I have so much I want to tell you still." Her child or is it cousin? begs. Narcissa wishes someone would answer her pleads.

"Reggie this is your chance to live," Narcissa scolds him, "I've lived happily with Lucius you need to go live out your life remember all your dreams you told me? Playing on Puddlemear United? Pranking James and Sirius? Painting you house Hufflepuff yellow and Gryffendor Red simply because they didn't match? Flying to the moon like the muggle did? Visiting America? Making up with Sirius? Telling him you couldn't care less about his boyfriend?" Narcissa smiled and cried at the same time. Regulus had a quite kind of courage and bravery.

"Yes I do, but Sirius is dead," Draco squeezed her hand.

"You could never see what was right in front of you," Narcissa smiled

"Anna," Draco mouthed for the first time since he died.

"Remember that rash little boy from Diagon Alley," Narcissa was sure she was right she knew her cousins body language than her cousin himself. The boy was clearly a Black.

"I love you Mummy."

"You always said I'd be a good mother, was I?" Narcissa looks at her cousin- yes she confident it's her cousin this time just with Malfoy features, but they eyes are all that really matters.

"The very best," Regulus tell his mother. Narcissa was a better mother than Walburga every was Narcissa smiles on last time at him and he appreciates her all that much more.

I clearly don't ship these two more than they were probably very close cousins who love each other like siblings This is the second part of the three part Black Sister trilogy of one shots.

And in case you didn't get it Regulus came back as Draco and this is alludes to the squeal to Open Doors. Doomed. La la la not telling! Obviously I love Regulus he's a Marauders little brother and so important.
