Chapter 2: Next Morning
July 29, 1994
It was 4 am and a cold and rainy morning. Nobody was awake except Lucius Malfoy. He was getting ready for his 'meetings' as he would tell Narcissa. Though, everyone knows what he's involved with. Every Malfoy has been a Death Eater, from generations to generations. If Draco didn't agree to become a Death Eater in his 7th year, he would ruin the Malfoy name, or worse, Lucius would disown him or use the Killing Curse.
Lucius was in their bedroom dressing up. Narcissa was sleeping peacefully, her mouth a little ajar. Filthy bitch, why did I marry her? he thought. Another voice spoke inside his head, "Because you were forced to, you arse!" his conscience said. Lucius ignored it. "What? Now you're gonna ignore me? Why, if I didn't share a body with you, I'd-" Lucius cut off his conscience, "Oh shut up you!" He was not in the mood for arguing with himself. It would seem like he's crazy if someone caught him.
As, he was tying his hair in an expensive silk black ribbon with his wand, he kept his face cold and emotionless. Just like a Malfoy, he thought. It only took him about 10 seconds to tie his hair. For he had enough time, he practiced his scowls and smirks in the mirror.
"No, not this."... 2 minutes later... "No! Definitely not!" ... 3 minutes later ... "Yes! Finally!" Another sleepy voice spoke, "Lucius, what's the matter?" Narcissa asked groggily. Lucius mentally kicked himself for waking her up. "Nothing! Go back to sleep, you filthy whore!" He spat. "Uh-huh... ok..." she answered. She was so sleepy, she didn't understand what he said. He heard the bed squeak. Ok, finally she fell asleep, he thought. He finished dressing up, and put on a new expensive traveling coat. He walked down the stairs gracefully, his boots clicking on the way. Click click click...
He went outside the manor and apparated away.
Later on...
It was still raining outside. Narcissa Malfoy just woke up by the streaming sunlight gleaming through the room. Even though the curtains were black, the sun was stronger. Thank Merlin, Lucius isn't here, she thought gleefully. She sat up, then tried to open her eyes. Narcissa stood up and stumbled lazily to the bathroom. She looked at the mirror. "Merlin! My hair!... Where's my wand?" she exclaimed. She went out the bathroom and looked for her wand. I just remembered... I left it downstairs! Nice job, she thought annoyed to herself. "Hmm... might as well use the brush." she said defeatedly. She opened the accessories box and looked for the brush. She found it. It was like everything in the house was expensive. There were two brushes. One fine brush that was fully silver with diamonds on the borders on the bristles. The other one was in gold with jades on the sides. Narcissa preferred the rubies one, but Lucius did not want anything red or gold (except gold jewelry) in the Manor because it was Gryffindor's color. She chose the silver one because she liked it better. She gazed at herself while brushing her silky blonde locks.
The grandfather clock in the room chimed eight times. "Oh no! I have to owl Harry!" she cried. She ran out of the bathroom, and almost tripped over her slippers. She ran back and wore them. Narcissa would never walk around the Manor barefoot. She happened to run down the stairs without tripping. After coming down, she mentally kicked herself if anybody saw her not keeping her poise, even if it was a house elf.
Narcissa's POV
I went to our little Owlery near our Quidditch Pitch, and got my snowy eagle owl. "Hello Adrienne, how are you today?" I asked my pretty eagle owl. She hooted at me. "Well, here's the letter I want you to send to this person ok?" I said.
She hooted again.
"Send this to Harry Potter, Number 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey. Thanks!"
The owl lifted its right leg and I put the letter there I wrote last night.
She flew out the window and to the sky gracefully. I watched the owl with awe. I wish I was like it. I could leave whenever I want, I don't have to stay in a certain place... Oh, I wish!
I walked back to the entertainment room. My personal house elf, Dotty, appeared by my side. We are kind of friends. Don't think I'm desperate enough to sink this low. She doesn't seem like a house elf when I talk to her. I want to set her free, but she says she likes living in the Manor with me. Lucius disagreed with setting her free. He had a big outburst that day, and I slept with a black eyes, a missing tooth I repaired with my wand, and bruises all over. Back to Dotty... I don't like seeing her in those filthy clothes they're supposed to wear. I dress her up in pink, red, white, or gold. Fortunately, Lucius never sees her with those clothes. It would have been worse if he found out. She said in her sweet little voice, "Would Mistress want Dotty to do something?"
"Come with me, Dotty. You can change clothes, and we can pick my clothes, too!"
She smiled happily.
"Ok, thank you!"
We both walked up the stairs having random conversations. We finally reached the bedroom.
"Ok, Dotty. You can pick anything you want to wear in the other closet. I will look for clothes, too. My godson, Harry Potter is visiting tonight. Good thing Lucius isn't coming back in two more days. I suppose he could stay here until Lucius comes back. That way, I can spend more time with him."
"Ok, mistress. Can Dotty wear this one?"
She was holding up a nice little light pink dress with rhinestones glittering on the sides. It had matching shoes with the same color and rhinestones in the middle.
"Of course, Dotty. That would like great with you!"
"Thanks, Mistress. Would Mistress want any help with Dotty?"
Oh, stop calling me Mistress, Dotty. You can call me Narcissa."
Her eyes glittered in happiness. She ran and hugged me. I hugged her back.
"Narcissa, you really are the coolest witch!"
"Why, thank you!"
"So, would Narcissa want any help?"
"Yes, thanks, Dotty. Please help me pick out a dress robe for tonight."
"Will do!"
We went through a couple of dress robes until we found the right one. She pointed her finger at me and next thing, I was wearing the outfit. It was a milky white dress robe in silk. It had a deep v-cut, but not that deep. There were rhinestones around the v-neck, and the dress was short on one side and got longer through the other. The shoes were silky white heels, and rhinestones. I have a desire for rhinestones.
"Oh, it looks beautiful! Thank you so much, Dotty!"
"You're welcome, Mis- I mean Narcissa!" She chuckled a little bit. I showed an amused grin.
"Well, now that we know what were gonna wear, let's go eat breakfast. I'm hungry!"
"Let's go!"
Dotty and I walked down the stairs to the dining room. She took a chair and sat down.
"Narcissa, what would you want Dotty to prepare for you?"
"I'll have the usual, Dotty. Why don't you get yourself some and we'll eat together?"
"Ok, thanks, Narcissa!"
I watched Dotty skip off wearing her 'house-elf clothes'. She didn't want to change yet because Harry would come at night. I think that would be best so she wouldn't get a stain on the dress.
Dotty came out the door and with to plates floating in the air. "For Narcissa." she said.
The plate came down on the table, and went to me. The other plate went to her. I was eating bacon and eggs, toast, sausages, and orange juice. Dotty had bacon and eggs, toast, and orange juice.
Dotty and I had a great conversation while we were eating. We laughed, talked, and giggled. It's always good to have a female friend.
"Thanks, Dotty, for being a great friend!"
"Same to you Narcissa! Well Dotty has to work now! Call if you need me!"
"Ok, bye Dotty!"
With a snap of her fingers, Dotty disappeared with the plates.
I walked off the dining room with a smile on my face.
This is one of the happiest days for me.
End of Narcissa's POV
A/N: Ok, this chapter might've been boring to you. Sorry, well next chapter, Harry's visit! Draco will be introduced too. Writing this chapter took me 2 days because there's a fair in my school I'm in 8th grade, and we had to do community service. We get 50 hours all year, before Confirmation. But, the fair closed on Friday, because nobody was there. Thursday, I got 2 hrs and 30 minutes. Still more to go! But, there's lots to do service on! Ok, thanks for the reviews! Please R&R!
