summary: The story of Narcissa Malfoy: life, school, friendship, and the most important of all...love.
When I first saw you, I saw love.
And the first time you touched me,
I felt love
And after all this time, you're still the one I love
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
Ain't nothin' better
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin
They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night
I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come my baby

Eleven year old Narcissa Black yawned loudly and rolled over on her plush bed, a lock of curly blonde hair falling over her eyes.
"Miss Narcissa? Miss Narcissa?" Narcissa opened an eye, looking at the house-elf, Pokey. Narcissa couldn't stand the name Pokey; it made the elf sound ridiculous. She always referred to him as Poe.
"Mmm?" The elf bobbed up and down next to the bed.
"Pokey has been sent to tell you that your presence is requested at breakfast." Narcissa sighed and sat up, stretching.
"All right, tell Mummy and Daddy I'll be down in ten minutes." She knew only too well that when her presence was 'requested' at breakfast, it meant she was to get out of bed, dressed, and go to the dining room as quickly as possible. Narcissa slid out of bed and began to get dressed, humming quietly to herself.
"Narcissa, dear, you can't possibly have forgotten you leave for Hogwarts tomorrow?" Narcissa came skipping down the wide staircase into the front hall, where she was greeted by her mother.
"No, Mummy. Why?" Regina Black frowned slightly at her daughter.
"You showed no signs of remembering that we had to go to Diagon Alley today. I'm meeting Rhiannon Malfoy there today. Her son, Lucius, will be there as well." Regina spun on her heel, dark blue robes billowing as she marched into the dining room. Narcissa rolled her eyes and followed her mother. She had heard a lot about these Malfoys and didn't understand what the big deal about them was. Just another stuffy rich family, thought Narcissa sadly, sitting down to breakfast. Although she was quite rich herself and a lady in public, Narcissa often grew tired of the responsibilities that came with the surname Black.
"Good morning, princess." Caleb Black smiled at his daughter as his wife gave him an airy kiss on the cheek.
"Good morning, Daddy."
"Narcissa, sit up straight! Do not slouch and hold your chin up! You're a Black!" Narcissa groaned inwardly and began to eat her porridge in silence. Her older sisters Bellatrix and Andromeda came into the dining room a few moments later.
"Bellatrix, dear, what do you need in Diagon Alley?" Regina addressed her oldest daughter warmly. Andromeda sat down in silence and began to eat. "The Standard Book of Spells, Grade Three, Mother." Bellatrix spoke in a sweet voice. Narcissa had always gotten along with Andromeda better than Bellatrix because she was laid back, though she did get along well with Bellatrix too.
"What about you, Andromeda? What do you need?" Andromeda looked up for a second.
"Standard Book of Spells, Grade Two. But don't worry, Mother, I'm coming to Diagon Alley with you and Narcissa."
"I'm going to Hogsmeade, Mother. I'm meeting some friends there." Regina nodded and sat down next to her husband. They both flipped through their copies of the Daily Prophet, murmuring quietly to each other while the three sisters finished their breakfast in silence.
"Oh, isn't Narcissa lovely, Lucius?" Rhiannon Malfoy cooed to her son as Regina, Narcissa, and Andromeda approached.
"Lovely." Lucius spoke in a bored drawl and smirked slightly at Narcissa. Narcissa frowned at him. The way he was looking at her made her feel like a very small child. She held her chin up and smoothed the front of her emerald green robes. Narcissa's curly golden hair had been pulled into a neat bun and she wore an emerald bow around it.
"Hello, Rhiannon." Regina beamed at Rhiannon who smiled back. Andromeda had plastered a fake smile on her face and looked at her mother.
"Mother, I've just spotted a few of my school friends. May I join them?" Regina smiled down at her daughter.
"Yes, dear, meet me back here in an hour." Andromeda tore off down the alley, her dirty blonde hair flying. She joined a group of girls next to Quality Quidditch Supplies, some who had Ravenclaw badges, like Andromeda, and some who had Gryffindor badges. Mrs. Black and Mrs. Malfoy were soon deep in discussion, leaving Narcissa and Lucius to keep each other company.
"Want to grab an ice cream?" Narcissa looked at Lucius.
"No, I don't associate with children." He swept off down the alley, where a knot of boys in Hogwarts robes with Slytherin badges like Lucius were beckoning to him. Narcissa felt her cheeks get hot. Child, was she?
"Hmph!" Narcissa stormed off toward Flourish and Blott's were a group of chattering girls her age were gathered.
During her hour at Flourish and Blott's, Narcissa made friends with three other girls who would also be first years at Hogwarts: Abby Niles, Leslie Hale, and Miranda Benson. "I'm going to be a Slytherin. Everyone else in my family is," said Leslie, a tall slender brunette, as she carelessly flicked a bit of lint from her expensive looking robes.
"Me too," piped Abby, who's sweet freckled face loomed at each of the other girl's shoulders; she was the shortest of the group at only 4'9".
"I guess I will be too. My older brother, Dominic is a fifth year. He's also a prefect." Miranda tossed her shoulder-length black hair back, beaming over at a tall boy with dark brown hair who was talking to a few other Slytherins around his age.
"Narcissa, dear! We have shopping to do!" Regina Black came hurrying over, her handbag swinging. Narcissa rolled her eyes.
"Yes, Mother. See you tomorrow," she smiled at her friends and waved as her mother dragged her away.
An hour later, Narcissa, Regina, and Andromeda were back inside their manor. Narcissa's arms were full of heavy packages. "Okay, girls, go pack your trunks." Narcissa scampered up the stairs toward her bedroom. "Walk like a lady, Narcissa!" Regina called after her daughter. She walked into her room and dumped her packages on her bed. Narcissa pulled out her wand first. It was 8 and 1/2 inches, dogwood, with a tail hair from an elegant unicorn mare, or so Mr. Ollivander had told her. She admired her wand before beginning to pack her belongings into her trunk, with the initials N.B. engraved on the top.
The next morning was pure chaos: the Blacks had to get three girls and three Hogwarts trunks onto Platform 9 and 3/4 without Muggles noticing them. "Muggles! They don't notice anything, the stupid gits," scoffed Bellatrix when Narcissa questioned her about getting onto the platform. Andromeda frowned slightly, but kept her mouth shut. The Blacks were a very respectable pureblood family and didn't associate with Muggles or Muggle-born witches and wizards. Andromeda was the exception, though. She had never been prejudiced against Muggles and Muggle-borns. Somehow, the Blacks made it through the barrier on Platform 9 and 3/4 without any Muggles noticing. Narcissa spotted Leslie, Miranda, and Abby quickly.
"Bye, Mother, bye, Father." She gave each of her parents a peck on the cheek and ran off to join her friends. Lucius Malfoy and his friends snickered and pointed at the giggling first years. Narcissa felt her blood boil. How could she have possibly thought he was attractive when she first laid eyes on him? "Stupid git," she grumbled, joining her friends.
"Come on Narcissa, we've got a compartment saved!" The four chattering girls linked arms and boarded the train.
"Bye! See you at Christmas" The girls waved frantically to their parents from the window of the train. Mr. Black beamed and waved back, but Mrs. Black was dabbing her eyes with a handkerchief as she called
"Behave like a lady, Narcissa! Hold your chin up! You're a Black!" Then she burst into tears and buried her face in her husband's shoulder as the train turned a corner out of sight. Narcissa gave a sigh of relief. No parents! Freedom at last! The girls all burst into chatter at once, discussing their textbooks and pondered about what their classes would be like. When it was almost noon, they heard loud thumps coming from outside their door.
"You're in for it this time, Black!" roared an angry voice. There were sounds of boys cheering and fists flying. Abby, Leslie, Miranda, and Narcissa sat staring at the glass door, mesmerized. A shadowy figure appeared on the other side of the glass, right before the door slid open. Abby, Miranda, and Leslie gasped but Narcissa stood up, gazing, openmouthed at the boy before her. "Sirius?!"
