Here is my new story. It was an idea which popped into my head and as I've never done a story like this I thought I'd try my hand at it. Please let me know what you think love Angel x
Narcissa sat nervously waiting in the living room of Grimmauld Place where Harry had invited her to discuss the life debt she and Draco owed him. She was very nervous as with this life debt he could ask for anything and they'd have no choice but to comply. What if he asked for truly horrible things? It had been four years since the battle had ended and he had waited to call in their life debts as he was busy calling in the life debts of everyone else. The door opened and he entered carrying a little black glass coloured vial. She couldn't see the potion inside it over the black glass and was afraid.
"Mrs Malfoy, Narcissa you are here to discuss the lift debts of yourself and Draco. In order to repay his life debt to me Draco is a take a muggleborn of his own choosing on five dates which she is to tell me she thoroughly enjoyed. If she has not enjoyed them I will know about it and punish him accordingly. Also he must do two months of community service ok?" he asked as she looked at him in confusion.
"I'm sorry Mr Potter, Harry, but what is community service?" she asked and it was then that he realised they didn't have this kind of thing in their world.
"Oh I see. Well community service is where you do kind things to and give financial aid to those which you have wronged. Now as the dark lord essentially made Draco wrong many people he can give money to many different people. I would suggest ten thousand galleons here or there. He has enough money so he will do it without complaint!" he snapped already thinking Draco would moan about it.
"Thank you Harry I will make sure he does so and thank you for being so lenient with him when you didn't have to be. What would you require of me?" she asked as he looked intently at her making her squirm slightly.
"As for you, you will take this veritas serum now and answer all the questions I have for you. Once done pending on what you say we can consider your life debt repaid!" he said handing her the vial as she put some veritas serum on her tongue. He looked seriously at her and then pulled a parchment piece from his pocket on which he had questions written down.
"What is your name?"
"My name is Narcissa Ariella Black formerly Malfoy."
"What is your age?"
"I am thirty five years old now although I was thirty nine. I discovered my mother had used a dark Black family ritual to age me by four years so I could marry Lucius Malfoy whom the family thought was the best. I had always known my age felt off as I was at Hogwarts much earlier than I should have been. After I'd been married ten years I found out what they'd done and I was furious. I reversed it at once becoming my true age. I didn't care about the consequences either!"
"What house were you in at Hogwarts?"
"I was in Slytherin house."
"Why did you divorce your husband?"
"Because I was forced to marry him when I was seventeen years old by my very dark and controlling parents. I wasn't really seventeen as you understand and actually thirteen but he didn't know that and didn't care when he eventually found out either. I had wished to be able to find my own lover but they never agreed to that. Lucius was very abusive and to be honest it was for his own safety that I divorced him at all. He had caused us all so much hurt and pain by not only following the dark lord but bringing him into our personal home. I was meant to feel safe there but that selfish bastard Lucius never cared about that did he? No I had divorce him because he pushed me too far and I almost killed him. He was never going to behave himself. He was going to always put himself first and us last. The only person that truly cared that Draco was a death eater was me. Lucius was actually proud of him for that! Can you believe it? I had Draco at the supposed age of eighteen but actually fourteen and it traumatised me as the birth was utterly horrendous and I got zero support from Lucius who was just relieved it was a boy!"
"Did you get a dark mark?"
"No I did not. I do not now, nor would I have ever supported the dark lord. He was pure evil and I could never support something like that. I was not foolish enough to show that and get killed for it while he was still alive but I only ever sat in on his meetings silently. I would not say anything at all so he could never punish me ever! It was quite smart really. Oh how ashamed Lucius was that I would never get the mark no matter what he did. He tried to imperious me into getting it but the dark lord found out and punished him severely for it. Then everything with the war happened and I guess he simply forgot about it thank goodness!"
"What do you think of Hermione Granger?"
"I think she's incredibly smart and definitely smarter than Draco. Don't misunderstand me Draco is plenty clever but if he'd spent more time on his studies then being a smartass we both know he'd have been smarter. It was only as he got older that I realised how truly vein he was. I think she is very smart but she doesn't always look the best or care to look the best either. It's a shame really as she could look wonderful with some effort I am sure."
"What do you think of the Weasley family?"
"I think they are very nice people but Molly Weasley herself is a disgrace. I am sorry but there is truly no other way I can say it. What kind of sensible woman has seven children knowing she cannot afford them and further knowing they will never have the best of things for this reason? Did she really not think her other children would be embarrassed when they always looked less then? No one could claim she doesn't love her kids because I've seen her with them and it's rather obvious she does. Having said this two of her children work far away from home to get away from her overbearing and controlling ways. For example I always wanted more children because money was of no objective for us but Lucius refused and broke my heart. My first labour had been vile but I had always hoped to be able to have a second good labour later on but it was denied to me."
"What do you honestly think of Professor Dumbledore?"
"I used to admire him a lot actually but when it became clear he cared only for his old Hogwarts house and hated Slytherin with a passion no matter what -I grew to seriously resent him. He never cared whether you were good or not. If you were Slytherin you were automatically branded as pure evil by him which really broke my already frail spirit as a child. I needed him and he really let me down. He told me he didn't understand my problem and then asked me why I wasn't in Gryffindor because he'd have been able to help me then. I can't say I liked him in fact I hated him but I was not irrational like the dark lord in wanting his death!"
"What do you think of me?"
"I think you are incredibly brave, intelligent and exceptionally sexy. You don't have the best taste in friends if what Draco has told me about Ronan Weasley is true. He says he always abandons you and lets you down all the time or something like it. I think you're powerfully attractive. Sometimes I just want to care for you and make you see that things can get better. You turn me on so much sometimes and I am truly mortified I have admitted that but I did have no choice!" she said as he blushed brightly.
"Why did you save me in the forest?"
I saved you because I was trying to get to Draco. Some part of me needed to believe he wanted to get better. In all honesty I wasn't even thinking of you all that much except that I felt sure you could save us. I had to lie if it meant ending Voldemort. Besides which Draco since told me how you saved his life in the room of requirement after that dope Crabbe nearly burnt the whole place down. I couldn't believe my son was almost killed not by Voldemort which would have been understanding but by his idiot friend. I mean at least you knew Voldemort was menace but Crabbe had always looked too stupid to do anything like that in all honesty. I knew my desire to get to my only son would be enough to fool Voldemort into thinking you really were dead. I was never gladder you were alive. You were a symbol of hope for me in a very dark place and time. Sometimes the thought of you was all I had to keep me going on some days!" she said crying sudden tears which overwhelmed her totally. Soon enough she was sobbing although her face did look emotionless over the serum.
"Have you always found me attractive?" he asked more out of curiosity and because he could then anything.
"Of course not! That would be weird had I said yes wouldn't it? I found you powerfully attractive since you were seventeen I think. I'm not sure what age you truly were so I guessed seventeen. Voldemort made us all watch Lucius' memories of the events in the Department of Mysteries which he managed to get quickly before allowing him to be arrested which may I say Lucius did deserve. When I saw how powerful you were against my husband and sister I soaked my nickers. I know I shouldn't say that but I cannot lie. It was hot as hell. It was when I saw you in the battle of Hogwarts that I knew I loved you. I am sorry I cannot lie to you about that. I am highly embarrassed by it though" she confessed as he looked at her shedding tears of his own. He gave her the antidote as the serum left her system and she came back to normal.
"Narcissa I have a confession to make. I have always and I mean always felt weird around you. It's like every time you're near me I feel whole or something and I cannot explain it!" he said sounding panicked as her eyes went wide.
"You felt that too!? I thought only I did and it made me feel weird and awful at the same time. I didn't want to have this feeling because I thought I was alone in having it. Do you know what it means?" she asked as he nodded no.
"I think we should get a medical scan at the bank and maybe it can tell us why we feel like this" he said as she agreed and flooed with him to the bank. What would it tell them? This would be most interesting.
