Material Girl

tigercub15: I'm glad you enjoy my fanfiction. :D Here's the new chapter. Also, I've already started planning a sequel and a website! :)

BootstrapBoula: Bellatrix is finally growing up into what she is in the Book. :P Thanks for commenting and sympathising with Narcissa. n.n
Disclaimers: Most of the characters do not belong to me. Thank you.

(Narcissa's Thoughts are in Brackets.)

Narcissa's head was in a furious blur until she found herself waiting at Platform Nine and Three Quarters with her sisters. Thier parents Charles and Costosa eventually arrived to greet them.
"Girls!!!" Charles announced as he spotted them. He took Costosa's arm and they came over to the girls.
The pair suddenly went silent. They stared at Bellatrix.
"Bellatrix Persephone Black! What have you done to your hair?!" Costosa gasped. (She remembered her whole name!!! She's angry!)
"I cut it, I died it." Bellatrix replied coolly.
"It looks lovely..." Charles said, obviously lying. "Why did you do it?"
She shrugged. "It's more subtle."
"Hm... well... Narcissa! We have a real treat for you!" Costosa said clapping.
Narcissa chose to stay silent and see what she had to say.
"The Malfoy's will be staying with us over Christmas! Isn't that grand?!?!" she smiled.
Andromeda put a comforting hand on Narcissa's shoulder. Bellatrix gave a smug grin then laughed.
"Well... we should go home. I want to see how the House elves have decorated the house." Charles said gruffly. He then muttered something while waving his wand and they were apparated home.

The Manor glistened as they approached. Snow was draped over the Roof and the garden. The Front door opened and a house elf stood there welcoming. He had a holly leaf perched on his ear.
"Perkin's Welcomes you back, Sir and Madams!" he shouted.
"Good day, Perkins." Charles grunted, walking past into the manor.
Costosa, Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa followed.
The interior of the house was filled with sparkling decorations, Glittery trees and shining fairies flittering around. (I know the house elves like decorating but this is beyond ridiculous.)
"I'm going to my room." Narcissa announced gloomily. (I'd rather avoid all festivities completely.)
"Oh no you don't! We need to plan everything for when the Malfoy's arrive tomorrow!" Charles intervened.
"Yeah, Sissa! You've got to be perfect for your lover boy!" Bellatrix cooed flicking Narcissa's nose.
"Stop it, Bellatrix." Andromeda hissed.
"All of you stop it! You're acting like children!" Costosa scolded. Narcissa sneaked up to her room while Costosa was shouting.

"THE MALFOYS IS AT THE DOOR!" Perkins the house elf called. Narcissa watched the front door from the staircase.
"Well?!?! Open the door then!" Charles ordered.
"Yes, Master! Perkins shall open the door!" he said, saluting. He then tripped up, got up again and ran to the front door.

Draco and Lucius Malfoy stood in the doorway. Draco fiercely gave Perkins thier luggage then strode in.
"Draco! It's brilliant to see you!" Charles cheered.
"Grand!" Draco sneered. "Ah, Costosa!" he kissed Costosa's hand.
"Oh my!" she giggled. "Oh, Lucius, Narcissa's over there!" she pointed in Narcissa's general direction.
Lucius wondered over to Narcissa with a bunch of Red roses in his arms.
"These are for you, Narcissa." he said. He held them out to her.
"I guessed that." she said coldly, turning away and folding her arms.
"Narcissa. Forgive me." he begged.
"Lucius. No." she snarled.
"Lovers Quarrel!" Bellatrix smirked.
"Because of you, You betraying cow!!!" Narcissa shouted leaping out to hit her, Andromeda held her back. Charles, Costosa and Draco started staring.
"Nissa, Stop it." Andromeda whispered softly.
"What is going on?" Costosa asked.
"Bellatrix and Lucius kissed." Andromeda explained bluntly.
"We were together. Lucius and I." Narcissa added.
"Bellatrix!!!" Charles and Costosa shouted.
"Lucius!!!" Draco shouted. He then became deviously calm. "Both of you apologise and explain to dear sweet Narcissa." he drawled casually.
"Sorry, Sissa." Bellatrix grunted.
"It was an accident, Narcissa." Lucius tried to explain. "We're in this same... club... and it just... happened." (I have no choice. They'll all beat me down until they get what they want.)
"I forgive you, Lucius." Narcissa sighed, finally accepting the roses. (I hope you know that I'm lying for them, Malfoy!)
"Fabulous! I'll give you a tour of the house!" Charles cheered.

Narcissa managed to hide herself in her room while her father gave the tour.
There was a soft knock at the door.
"Come in." she said reluctantly but softly. She was sitting on her bed stroking Angel the cat.
Lucius stood in the door way, smirking slightly.
"Oh. You. I suppose you've been with Bellatrix." she hissed, bitterly.
"No, I haven't." his smirk disappeared. He sat down next to her.
"What do you want?" she asked moving away from him.
"Narcissa, I've apologised!!! You're just being ridiculous!!!" he shouted.
"It's not something easy to forgive." she sniffed.
"You want to talk to me about forgiving?!?! I was forced to forgive my father after he murdered my mother in front of my eyes! Bet you didn't know that did you?" he hissed.
"Lucius, I didn't know... Do you want to talk about it?" she asked sympathetically.
He made sure that the door was closed tight then he sat back down.
"It was Christmas day last year. My mother, Lysandra... she was just talking to me. You were mentioned atleast once or twice. Anyway, We were just talking but my father, Draco... he was mad at her for a really stupid reason, I think she'd been helping the house elves do the housework. He shouted at her, She didn't want to start a fight so she stayed silent and in the end he killed her. One quick Avada Kedavra curse and I was left alone with my mothers corpse." he explained sadly.
"Oh..." she sighed.
"Will you lay off now?" he snarled.
"Okay." she sniffed. "I'm sorry." she hugged him.
"Thank you." he said. He shrugged her off. "I'm going to my room. Merry Christmas." he left.
She watched him leave sadly. She felt a pang of guilt inside. (Maybe I was too harsh on him.)
