Petriebird18: I hate Bellatrix too. You'll see what happens. ;)
Thanks for the reviews everybody! And I know the last few chapters have been short,
so bear with me. I want to get through Narcissa's younger years quickly and get to where she's
15 and 16, where the real story about her and Lucius begins.
...
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
It's all right, it's all right

Narcissa rested her chin on her hands. The sky outside her History of Magic class was bleak and grey. It was mid-March and she hadn't seen the sun in weeks. It rained on the warmer days and snowed on the cold ones. Bellatrix and Lucius's public displays of affection in the halls disgusted Narcissa and she now only spoke to her sister when she was spoken to.
"Cissa? Class is over?" Frances poked her in the arm. Narcissa sighed and gathered her books.
"Coming..." As she was leaving the classroom, she bumped into Lucius. He frowned slightly, but waited to see what she had to say.
"Hello, Lucius," said Narcissa hollowly. He was surprised. Her voice sounded distant and cool.
"Hello, Narcissa," he watched as she wandered down the hallway, looking depressed.
On the second of April, the stormy clouds broke and bright sunlight bathed the grounds of Hogwarts. As it was Saturday, all the students were outside, taking advantage of the beautiful day. Everyone was smiling and chattering except for Narcissa. It was her twelfth birthday and nobody seemed to have remembered, not even her friends.
"What's wrong, Narcissa?" Andrea grinned at her.
"Nothing," mumbled Narcissa. "I've got work to do," she trotted off toward the castle, clutching a book to her chest. She hurried into the Slytherin common room. The only other person in it was Lucius Malfoy, who was poring over a book. He looked up when he saw Narcissa. Narcissa sat down and he walked over.
"Happy birthday, Narcissa," he handed her a small box. Narcissa looked at him, stunned.
"How did you know it was my birthday?" She gaped at him.
Lucius shrugged. "Your mother told me last year. Well, I'd better get back to work."
"Right," said Naricssa, at a loss for words. "Thank you."
Something flashed in his eyes as he gazed at her. Was it pity? Or kindness? "Don't mention it."
Narcissa unwrapped the box and pulled out a fine silver chain with a tiny tear drop carved from diamond. She drew in a breath as she undid the clasp and put it around her neck. As she looked over at Lucius, she felt her heart leap as he looked at her. She smiled, then headed up to the girls' dormitory, her heart lighter than it had been in days.
A present and note of apology arrived from Regina and Caleb the next day. Narcissa got a book about Transfiguration from them. Andromeda gave her a box of Chocolate Frogs and Bellatrix gave her a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. Andrea, Frances, Leslie, and Camille had bought her a huge box of sweets from Honeydukes, which Bellatrix had picked up for them during a Hogsmeade weekend. But the greatest present of all was Lucius's, which she wore all the time. Her friends questioned her about the necklace, but she refused to tell them who gave it to her. Narcissa wanted to keep it secret, just like her feelings for Lucius. At least for now.
Summer crept up on Hogwarts quickly. Before Narcissa knew it, exams were over and it was time for the holidays. She packed her trunk quickly, eager to go home for the summer, even though she knew she'd miss Hogwarts.
"Narcissa! We've got to go! Everyone else is heading to the boats!" Leslie called, poking her head in the door. "Leave your trunk, someone will bring it to the station!" The girls ran out of the dormitory, down the staircases, and out into the June sunshine.
The train ride to London was cheerful. Narcissa, Leslie, Frances, Camille, and Andrea had a compartment together where they traded Chocolate Frog cards and played Exploding Snap. They casually passed through the barrier onto Platform 9 & 3/4 to find their parents in a group together, smiling and waving.
"Father!" Narcissa cried excitedly, running into her father's arms. Caleb picked her up and swung her around.
"How's my princess?" Caleb kissed Narcissa's forehead.
Narcissa giggled and smoothed her dress. "I'm good." Regina was looming over her husband's shoulder, frowning.
"Hello, Mother," said Narcissa, dropping her little girl attitude.
"Narcissa," Regina kissed her daughter's cheek. Andromeda and Bellatrix joined Narcissa, Regina, and Caleb. The Blacks grabbed the girls' trunks and they headed out into Muggle London.
The Blacks got a Muggle cab to The Leaky Cauldron, where they took Floo powder back to their home. When they arrived, Narcissa brushed off her robes, looking around happily. It was nice to be home.
"Girls, go unpack your trunks," called Regina. Narcissa hurried up the stairs, a house-elf dragging her trunk. When she entered her room, the first thing Narcissa did was flop onto her bed. Bright, hot sunlight was streaming in through the curtains. She curled up tightly, enjoying the feeling of the fading sun on her face. Her eyelids grew heavy and as she slipped off into a deep sleep, the sun set and the first sparkling stars shone in the sky.
