Update information at the end.

Since the day she was born, Narcissa's parents always had high expectations on her, after all she was the youngest of their daughters, as usual, the youngest in a family is the one treated different than the others, and she was no exception.

Since she was young, her mother saw a great potential on her youngest daughter, her name was no joke as she was as beautiful as the flower her name was based on, so her mother wasted no time, she raised her based on the traditional pureblood traditions.

When she was a teenager, she realized that she loved potions, she wanted to pursue a career in that field, but as soon as her mother found out her passions, she was forbidden from trying to do it again.

She wasn't supposed to do that, she was supposed to marry a rich lord and have tons of kids, or at least that was what her mother told her when she said that she wanted to be a potions master.

But her parents were against the idea and now she had the watchful eyes from her mother to stop her from thinking of doing anything else, she tried so hard to reach her dreams and school was the only place where she could do potions without being judged.

She was so good in that area that when she was seventeen and in her last year of school, a pharmaceutical wanted to hire her to develop new medicines it was a simple decision, she just had to say yes and she would be free.

In the end she didn't accept the job proposal, she was scared of her parents disowning her just like they did with her older sister Andromeda, and she was also afraid of failure, instead, she just accepted her fate, and a few months after she graduated, she was ready to marry Lucius Malfoy, the son of an important merchant.

He wasn't that bad, she accepted her fate with two purposes and one was using his money to finance a project that she was working for and the second one, fulfill her long life dream, having a child.

But everything changed the night her soon to be husband, his whole family and her parents died, all those expectations, all those wishes for her from other people, all the manipulation, all those things died that day along with them.

She then started to get back to her passion, making potions, there was a secret that her mother never knew, she was a fan of muggle perfumes, she loved the variety that they had, wizards, still living with old traditions dating from centuries ago, didn't have many requirements in that aspect, as long as you didn't smell like a donkey and you wash every day, you're fine, but Narcissa wanted more, she wanted to do make her own fragrances using flowers from around the world, even muggle flowers and with the help of magic, she made some interesting formulas.

To reach her dream she needed to have more information, so she started researching but that wasn't enough, so she came back to Hogwarts and entered in the advanced potions curse, two years later and already at twenty she got her master's degree on potions, little by little, her dream was getting closer, but also, she watched many of her childhood friends already married and with children on the way.

Those times were rough there were many abductions, dead people every day, even if you were a pureblood you still had risk to die and worst of all, she didn't supported Voldemort's ideas so she was a target, luckily she had an auror sister to protect her, at that time realized and reconsidered the curse that their mother was speaking of when she died so they reached again for Andromeda trying to figure this out.

When Narcissa met Andromeda's daughter Nymphadora she had mixed feelings, a part of her wanted to hate the poor child for ruining her sister's life and the sane part just wanted to hold her, it was her motherly instinct, at first, they didn't got along, Narcissa tried to teach the little girl the proper way a lady should act, but the little girl was having none of it, she wasn't interested and she even mocked Narcissa.

Andromeda lived some kind of double life with her cousin Sirius, during the day, she was a loving and kind mother and during the night, they both went out leaving little Dora with her aunts, Bellatrix wasn't really fond of her niece during that time, she tolerated her but she didn't show much affliction.

Months later, due to the questioning of Narcissa and Bellatrix their older sister and their cousin Sirius revealed that they weren't dating, they were having secret meetings with an organization called "The order of the phoenix", Narcissa found her purpose in life here when she met many wizards with many different ideas, but many of them were fighting for one reason: give their children a future.

Narcissa wanted to be a mother eventually in some point of her life, but if she died then that dream will never happen, so she started attending the meetings, even her middle sister (who had showed hate at some point of her life towards muggle borns) did a friend, a beautiful redhead called Lily.

Narcissa already knew about Lily from her school days, everyone talked about her as the next Morgana, Narcissa didn't believe that until she met her, she was very smart and very educated, the more she met Lily the more she realized that her fears were dumb, and everything was due to the myths and stories that old people tell about muggles like how their kind will bring destruction to the wizarding world.

And everything changed the day she met James and Lily Potter's son, Harry… He was the most adorable baby she had ever met, with those emerald eyes that he inherited from his mother, sadly she just met him once, when a prophecy about him and Voldemort was heard, the family disappeared.

She met them again a year later sadly, not in a way she would have liked in their funeral, she was dressed in a long black dress and a black veil, her eyes were red from all the crying as the bodies of her friends were in the process of the traditional ceremony, her thoughts were distracted when she heard a sound from another room, she raised herself from her seat and took off her veil, when she reached the room, she found Dumbledore and Sirius fighting.

- I'm his godfather, James and Lily trusted me enough to take care of him if something happened to them! – Sirius screamed angry at the old man.

- Sirius… He'll be safer with his direct relatives, their blood will protect him – Answered the old wizad calmly.

- What is wrong with you!? – Narcissa raised her voice – This isn't the right time to talk about these things, can't you even wait until we bury them!? – Narcissa was really angry.

- Cissy, listen… Dumbledore wants to take away Harry with his relatives, with Lily's sister and her husband… I've just met her once, this morning when I told her about Lily's death and she mocked and blamed her! – Sirius had a sad expression – She can't be trusted, if she's happy about her sister's death, can you imagine what she would do Harry? – Sirius pleaded with that manipulative expression that Harry will learn in the future.

- Narcissa, I hope you understand that Harry needs to be with… Blood relatives for the protection ritual to take place – Dumbledore looked at her pleading.

- He'll stay with us – Narcissa declared, she didn't ask she just decided.

- But Nar—Dumbledore tried to argue but the blonde woman cut him off.

- He's our relative… Harry has Black blood in his veins… His grandmother Dorea was our grand-aunt… And Voldemort's already dead… He's safe with us! – Narcissa said out loud before her two sisters appeared.

- Let it go Albus… He's with family, distant or not, he'll be safe and we will love him as if he was one of us – Andromeda promised.

Dumbledore didn't know what to say, so he simply nodded and walked off, that wasn't the first that he tried to take away Harry from the Black family, they proved him wrong and he grew without danger and in a house full of love.

And he was a blessing, Narcissa always had problems with Nymphadora's behavior but that changed when Harry came into their lives, Harry was a very lovable child, Narcissa quickly took him under her wing, she and her sisters treated him as if they were his aunts, but Narcissa was different, you could say that she was the closest motherly figure that Harry had in his life.

And that's where the rivalry came, there was someone who wanted Harry for herself, Nymphadora, the little girl was so attached to Harry that she hated when Narcissa spent time with him, still, Narcissa always won because if Nymphadora did something that she didn't like she instantly report it with Andromeda and her sister always gave her the reason.

That's when Nymphadora realized that she didn't need to fight to have Harry's attention, Andromeda's daughter quickly changed her ways so she could spend more time with Harry and her change of behavior stopped the conflicts between Narcissa and Nymphadora.

They were so different, but still, the metamorphmagus consulted her many times, when she struggled with potions, she consulted her aunt specially when there was fashion related problems, she was an expert after all, she was also consulted when it came to love problems.

Andromeda and Bellatrix didn't have the best background to talk about that topic, and they weren't so interested, but Narcissa had some experience during her school days, that trust changed her relationship, they used to go shopping and to fix their hairstyles even if Nymphadora could change her style thanks to her powers, yes Narcissa and Nymphadora became best friends and she thought that their relationship will always be like that, until…

Treason, that's the way three sisters feel when they were looking at their younger counterpart who was now wearing a fiery red hair.

- What did you say? - Asked Bellatrix trying to process the words her niece had just said.

- I said that i want Harry for me and I want you to forget that stupid idea of hooking up with him… You're too old for him! – Nymphadora tried to make them understand.

- You say that as if we were eighty years old or something like that – Bellatrix was getting angry

- Just leave us alone, i don't care about what you believe, i just know that Harry and I... We're meant to be together, I deserve to be happy – Nymphadora faked tears.

But her aunts and mom didn't believe her, they just looked at each other surprised of the younger woman's attitude.

- Nymphadora... it never crossed in your mind that maybe, you're one of us, that maybe you're part of the curse? If that's the case, your relationship with him will not work, according to the curse, he belongs to all of us – Andromeda tried to make her daughter understand.

- I don't believe in curses and all that ancient stuff… Also if it was true, I don't think I will be included, I mean it specifies that only The Black family women are bound to this curse – The redhead wasn't in the mood to discuss that.

The three sisters looked at each other, Andromeda sighed before she said.

- I think she's right… It was a stupid idea… I mean, Harry is like a family member, he probably saw us as his aunts – Droma sighed.

- I'm glad you finally understand… Now if you excuse me – Dora tried to get back with Harry to fuck him senseless.

- I oppose – A voice that surprised everyone was heard, it was Narcissa and she had a serious expression.

- What!? – Nymphadora couldn't believe it – Not you please, aunt Cissa… Please not you – Begged Nymphadora shocked.

- Yes Cissy… Just let her go – Droma sighed.

- No, I won't let you get away… I won't back down, I'm tired of lying and pretending – They looked at her with confusion in their faces – I won't hide it anymore… I have feelings for Harry – She declared shocking the other women in the room.

- W-what are you talking about? – Nymphadora was surprised to hear that.

- It shouldn't surprise you after all… We spent a lot of time together the last summer.

Last summer…

Things were rough for Narcissa all that year, two years had been passed since she opened her perfume store with her own formulas, people seemed interested at first, but even if the sales weren't so bad, she knew that they could be better, so she spent a whole night in her studio, trying to think of ideas to get better sales.

Many hours later, a seventeen year old boy knocked her door, she was about to fall asleep in her desk, but she smiled when she had him bring her a glass of milk and a sandwich.

- Hey Cissy… The others told me that you didn't want to be disturbed because you were working, but a lot of time has passed since you ate anything… So, I brought you this – Harry smiled as he placed the food items.

- Oh, the prince comes to the rescue – She joked and Harry laughed before he looked at her notes.

- What are you working on anyway? – Asked Harry sitting close to her.

- I feel like my business is stuck… There hadn't been downs but neither ups, I'm trying to find a way to raise the sales and the popularity of my trademark – Narcissa said before biting the sandwich – Muggles really are scary… How do they even compete with so many brands? – Harry thought for a second and smiled.

- Well, as you know Sirius is always encouraging me to learn about my muggle side and what I learn is that, when they try to sell something… They do huge advertising campaigns! – Harry explained and Narcissa sighed.

- I thought about it too… But I checked out the numbers, I'll need to take a loan If I want to do something like that – She sighed.

It was true that she inherited a good fortune after she was widowed, but later, the government discovered that the Malfoy family was laundering money and evading taxes, in the end, she had to pay all the fees if she didn't want to end up in Azkaban, still, she ended up with a respectable quantity but the money wasn't eternal, the investment she made for her business took almost all the savings she had.

Harry looked at her and started to think.

- There's something that muggles and magical people share – Narcissa looked at him, curiosity in her eyes – They're both like sheep, they like to follow other people, the ministry, Voldemort, etcetera – Narcissa nodded – My point is that, if you show a famous person using or recommending your product, people will be interested in your product – He smiled at her.

- Sounds good… But where can I find a famous person that would be willing to use my fragrances – She asked before Harry smiled at her and raised his eyesbrows – You? Oh Harry I could never do that, take advantage of your fame to advertise my product… I know you hate fame and all that – Narcissa tried to make him forget about that idea.

- Why not? It's true what you say, I hate being famous but if I can use my status to help a special person I can do it – He smiled at her.

- And that was just the start, we did many advertising campaigns together, we traveled together to show the products, he was there supporting me when I felt doubts and he was always a gentleman, this year I had something planned for him, I always thought that I was grateful for what he did to my business… But now I realize that actually… I'm in love with him – Narcissa declared.

- Wow sister, I didn't know… You have to tell us the whole story about those trips – Narcissa smirked at Bellatrix.

- Nymphadora, I want you to think about things before you do something that could break our family… We all four need to be together to end this damn curse, he might be our only chance to end it and for that I'm even willing to share the person I love most – Narcissa declared.

- Yeah, I'm with you Cissy! – Said Bellatrix before hugging her younger sister – And what about you Andy? Come on, you were the rebellious one from the family! – Bella was surprised at her older sister's attitude.

Andromeda looked conflicted, in one side there were her sisters, but also her daughter was on the other side, waiting for her to surrender and not even fight, Andromeda closed her eyes.

- You're right – Andy looked at her sisters – This might be our only chance to end this curse, if we don't do it… Our descendants will be cursed for all the eternity – Andy stood up in front of her daughter who now didn't look as brave as before her mother was really tall – Nymphadora, I love you… But you need to understand that we're doing this not only for us, but also for your descendants and even if you hate me, I won't let you stop us from getting closer to Harry! – Andromeda declared.

- Then… This is how things are going to be, well… This is war then – Nymphadora looked at them with a hurt expression.

Narcissa and Bellatrix got closer to Andy to hug her, she had to compete with her daughter, even for wizards, this was a weird situation.
