When I awoke early that Christmas morn I felt an instant pang of guilt, how could I have let this relationship blossom knowing that it could not last? Knowing that I am promised to a man that I despise? I looked over at your sleeping form longingly, silently wishing that I could change everything so that we could be together forever. Without warning my eyes filled with tears and I lay sobbing in to the emerald silk of my pillow.
"Cissa? Baby, what's wrong?"
I heard you whisper as your hand reached out to caress my cheek. Sniffling I replied, "Nothing, it's nothing love. Go back to sleep."
"I don't believe you," my Lily replied as her percing emerald eyes met my water filled blue, "Please tell me Narcissa."
"Lily I can't hurt you, I should of never let this happen between us..." I started, sighing heavily.
"Why?" "Because it won't last, It can't last. Lily I'm betrothed to Lucius Malfoy." I blurted out. I heard her gasp and cover her face with her hands probably to hide the tears filling those beautiful green orbs. "I'm sorry..." I whispered to her as she grabbed her robe. "Please forgive me..."
"Narcissa Evelyn Black You want me to forgive you!" Lily cried. "Why should I?"
I winced at the bitterness of her voice, I knew Lily Evans was not one to be double crossed. "I'm sorry Lily..." was all I could manage to say.
"You're sorry? Is that suppose to make everything all better? Is it suppose to make me forget you lied to me, that you seduced me?" I was completely frozen, all I could do was just stand there. "I hate you Narcissa Black I don't ever want to see your fucking face again!" Lily screamed as she slammed the door behind her.
"Merry Christmas..." I murmered.
It wasn't until classes resumed that I finally saw Lily again. She looked like nothing had happened until caught me staring at her from across the room in Transfiguration. I saw the fire spark in her eyes, she was still angrywith me. I sighed and looked away.
The rest of the day went by in a blur. I didn't see Lily again until supper in the Great Hall, where she again caught me staring at her. This time she did something unexpected, she along with my cousin Sirius, and James Potter walked over to the Slytherin table where I was sitting next to my betrothed Lucius.
"What do you want?" Lucius sneered at Potter.
"Nothing, but I believe Lily has a bone to pick with you." James said as he pointed to me.
"Get up Bitch!" Lily yelled.
"Lily please don't do this..." I cried. "Draw you wand Narcissa."
"What is the meaning of this?" Lucius asked.
"It's none of your concern, Lucius. Stay out of it!" I replied. Drawing my wand I stood in dueling stance, contemplating my first move. "Stupify!" I cried. Lily blocked it and yelled a curse I've never heard of before.
"Ingravesco gravida!"
Bright bluish green sparks flew towards me, hitting me in my stomach causing me to double over in pain. Lucius and Severus were at my side in an instant, both throwing spells in Lily's direction which were blocked by Sirius and James.
The next thing I knew I was in the hospital wing, and so were Lucius and Severus. I watched as Madam McKaiden fussed over a very aggravated Lucius. I snickered softly.
"Ahh Ms. Black you're awake!" the elderly mediwitch called. "How do you feel?"
"Yes ma'am and I feel fine."
"That's good considering your condition."
"My condition?" I replied remembering the weird curse I was hit with. "Ma'am what was that curse I was hit with?"
"Kids these days I just don't know where they learn these spells... I'm gonna have to tell the headmaster to keep tighter security on the restricted section of the library..." Madam McKaiden muttered.
"Ma'am what was that curse I was hit with?" I repeated.
"Hmm? Oh yes, the ingravesco gravida curse. It's an old old spell that was used in cases of infertility."
"Infertility?" I looked at her confused.
"Yes, anyone hit with this spell would become pregnant by whom ever cast the spell. I highly doubt Ms. Evans knew what this spell was..."
I gasped, "T-this means I'm pregnant!"
"I'm afraid so."
