Disclaimer: I own nothing and no one from Harry Potter. (I own my characters though…)

Erm… I was bored. This is also written about a Death Eater… I'm very interested in what happened to them, and why they became what they became. Anyways…

Read and have fun!

Narcissa felt ignored, not to mention bored. Lucius was away at some "important meeting," and Draco was away at school, namely, Hogwarts. Having nothing better to do, she decided to search through the attic for things to throw away. Recently, the attic had become very cluttered.

Walking up the stairs, she sighed. When was the last time everyone was home and happy? She thought bitterly. It was all because of Voldemort. He had torn her family into pieces. He had been the root of all her fears since her childhood. Bella… Andy… my sisters, I wonder where you are now? Then, she snapped out of her thoughts. There was no use in moping around and thinking "What if…" it was too late for that now.

When she finally reached the attic, she gawked at the sight before her. The attic was in complete disarray! How on earth was she going to clean everything before Lucius came home? He would definitely be most displeased when he returned home from an exhausting (both mentally and physically) trip to find his wife covered in soot and grime. Narcissa waved away her thoughts. She would deal with him later.

Spotting a small unfamiliar chest, she decided to start with the items in the trunk. I'll start with something small and simple, then I'll work my way up. Satisfied with her plan, she kneeled down and began her task.

Upon opening the container, a huge puff of dust flew out. She coughed and spluttered. She waved her hands in front of her face until the dust cleared. My goodness! What is in this thing! Inside the box were a relatively small diary and mysterious package wrapped in brown wrapping paper. Narcissa's curiosity got to her. She picked up the diary gently and studied the cover and appearance.

She slowly traced the swirls and designs with her finger. It must have been beautiful once. A dark green velvet cover with patterns in light blue. She opened the diary and began to read. The pages were worn and yellow. The turquoise ink was clear and intact. She began to read the first entry:

Dear Diary,

Wow… this book is absolutely gorgeous! I can't believe Father gave it to me! He said it's an early present for getting into Slytherin House. I can't wait to go to Hogwarts, even if it means leaving my sister behind. I've heard so many things about it!

The weather outside is marvelous. I went outside and I ran along the shoreline, and I dipped my foot in the water and it was freezing! I threw my head back laughed, I've never had so much fun before. Mother called me back for my birthday party. Ugh, my dress is black. Can you believe that! Black! And for my birthday!

Although I disagree with the color, I have to admit it's quite pretty. It's a long-sleeved gown (my first gown!) that reaches the floor. The bottom of the dress is layered in silk. It's so soft and comfortable, I would would wear it day and night if I could! There's a sash and one of the house elves helps me tie it to make me seem a little thinner than I really am.

Everyone is going to my party. Including the Malfoys, the Lestranges, the Morrisons, the Notts, my two uncles and many more. Their children are coming too. I really hope I'll be able to get a game of "Exploding Snap." It's new you know. I bet Sirius and Regulus already have it. They always get everything before us…just because they're boys. Maybe Matthias will take me on a ride on his broomstick! That would be the best present ever, to be the first to spend quality time with our big brother!

Agh! Mother's getting really annoyed now, I'll be back later to write more about the party!

Narcissa dropped the book. She recognized the handwriting. Shaking her head, she thought, "But that can't be…she hated diary's! She always complained they were a waste of time and effort. I must be delirious. Yes, that must be it…" But she was itching to find out more… and to find out if this diary belonged to whom she thought.

Same Day
4:54 P.M.

I'm back! Ohmygosh! It was sooo fun! Everyone was there: Sirius, Regulus, Rodolphus, Rabastan, Lucius, my sisters, Mark, Matthias, David, Amelia and all of the other children of my parent's friends. I was right. Sirius and Regulus did get to buy Exploding Snap. They brought it over for my birthday! I was so excited… it exploded in Reggie's face though… Sirius laughed at him. I don't think that was very nice, but still… it was very funny to see his face covered in pink glitter, purple paint, green eyeliner, orange lipstick, blue eyeshadow, and he even had a big red puffy nose (a fake one, of course)!

Matt (A/N Matt is Matthias) explained to me later that there are such things called 'klowns' in the muggle world who go to children's parties to entertain them. I found that quite interesting…Lucius thought it was dumb. I wish I could have had a klown at my party. It would make it less formal. Argh, I hate being pureblood sometimes! Oooh! I hafta go! Mother is letting me open my presents!

The first page ended there.

The events seemed so familiar: the eagerness, the party scene, why? Because Narcissa was there the day of the party.

She had found the diary of Bellatrix Black, her older sister.
