Give and Take
By: Kate Myers
Now it was time to get busy. She only had 4 hours to be perfect for Lucius, and she wasn't going to waste a moment of that time. She walked into the Slytherin common room and made her way into her dormitory and made her way to her trunk.
Nobody's trunk was as organized as Narcissa's. When she opened it, a slight hint of sugar ran under her nose. She then pulled out a basket filled with an arrangement of fragment soaps and oils. She clutched the basket under her arm and closed her trunk, then made her way to the bathroom.
On her way she bumped into a group of Slytherin girls, who where bubbling over with gossip and giggles. They knew all about her and Lucuis, rumors had been circling about them ever since their 4th year. Narcissa never really minded the rumors, even if they where invading their personal life.
Narcissa was now right next to the girl's prefect bathroom. Even though she was not a prefect, Francis Cortobollis (the Slytherin prefect) gave her the password for special occasions only. And this most definitely WAS a special occasion.
"Butterball." The painting of the green cat moved to the side and Narcissa climbed into the bathroom. She set the basket down next to the large tub and slowly undressed, folding her clothes neatly as she went. She filled the tub up with warm water, with a lavender hue from all of the soaps and oils. She took her time washing and letting herself absorb the scent, until finally the hot water turned an unpleasant lukewarm. She looked at the clock. She noted that she only had 2 ½ hours to look perfect for Lucius. She pulled the plug from the tub and dried herself off with a fluffy towel. She then put her clothes back on and went over to the vanity and sat down.
She frowned at her appearance. Her hair was wet and dripping and her makeup that she had so carefully applied earlier had run down her face. She took the towel and wiped her face clean. Then she took a comb and ran it through her long hair. She then removed her wand from her robe.
"Brayreous!" A strong current of warm air came from the tip of her wand, and she dried her hair in about half an hour. "2 hours..2 hours to Lucius."
Now it was time for make-up, which she only had 2 hours to apply. She pulled out her make-up kit that she kept in the drawer of the vanity. Prefects where allowed to keep some of their personal belongings in their bathroom, if they where nessacary. Francis Cortobollis was the only girl prefect this year, and she did not wear make-up or keep anything in the vanity. So, naturally, she let Narcissa use her space. Narcissa did her make-up carefully and cautiously, like she was an artist working on a masterpiece.
When she finally finished, she looked at the clock again. "Half and hour to Lucius." She gathered her things and crept out of the bathroom and made her way to her dormitory. She put her things away slowly. Now, she was 100% as ready as she could be.
She tiptoed out of her common room as she didn't want to wake anyone. Now it was time to go to their secret place. "Lucius is probably already there, I can't make him wait." She quickened her pace. "My job, my duty, is to make him happy. Being late isn't going to fulfill his need." She turned the corridor and made her way down the Grand Staircase. "So many stairs..Why so many stairs?" She got all the way down to the main entrance. She slowly opened the giant door and snuck out. Now she was free, only a few more minutes until she would be with Lucius!
She breathed in the soft night air as she made her way to the Quidditch stadium. "Lucius is one of the best Quidditch players ever! He looks so brave and fearless mounted on his broom.." Narcissa made her way to the locker-room. She came to it and realized that it was locked. That was when she pulled out her wand.
"Alohamora!" She opened the door and made her way inside. Apparently Lucius wasn't there yet. This surprised Narcissa, as Lucius was not only always ON time, he was always early. Narcissa felt a little bit happy, however that she had not been the one who was late.
Narcissa sat on the floor of the freshly mopped locker room. She took a few deep breaths and closed her eyes. "Anytime now...anytime soon I will be with Lucius."
Suddenly, she heard the door open. A shiver ran down her spine. She heard the sound of footsteps walking toward her. She wanted to stand up, but suddenly it seemed like she was frozen to the ground. Narcissa slammed her eyes shut. Her heart began to pound, and her breathing increased as she heard the footsteps draw closer and closer.
All of a sudden, the footsteps came to a stop. Narcissa opened her eyes. There stood Lucius, towering over her, with an sly grin on his face. Narcissa wanted to stand up and greet him, but she was frozen to the ground. His cold eyes stared at her, and once again they worked their spell on her. Lucius's grin became slightly bigger.
"Ready?"
