Hello everyone! I have been an avid reader of Harry Potter fanfiction (specifically Lucissa) since I can remember but never plucked the courage to write one of my own. This is my first story written in over 7 years so I hope my writing has matured and improved. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and I truly hope you like it!
Chapter 1
The golden beams of early morning sunlight flooded into Narcissa Black's bedroom. Born into the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black to Cygnus and Druella, Narcissa was the youngest of three daughters. Being one of the oldest pureblooded families, the Blacks had accumulated a mountain of wealth displayed in their lavish mansion. As a member of the sacred 28 pureblood wizarding families, the House of Black took stark importance to their motto 'Toujours Pur', French for 'Always Pure', by blasting blood traitors off the family tree.
The sun was silenced with tall golden silk drapes in Narcissa's bedroom. A pair of long eyelashes fluttered open exposing a flash of sapphire blue eyes. Realizing it was finally the day she would be embarking on the Hogwarts Express to begin her third year, an eager flicker darted across her eyes and she quickly shot out of bed. While the summer holidays had been relaxing, Narcissa was growing bored with staying at home and was ready to be reunited with her friends. Narcissa was especially looking forward to being able to visit Hogsmeade glaring proudly at the signed permission slip by her father. Narcissa had two older sisters who both followed the Black tradition of being sorted into Slytherin. Bellatrix Black, the eldest, was 4 years older than Narcissa and would be going into her seventh and final year. Andromeda, the middle child, was 2 years older than Narcissa and would be taking her OWLs in her fifth year.
As Narcissa hopped out of bed, she draped a burgundy silk robe over her nightdress that trailed behind her elegantly. Neatly placed next to her bedroom door was the trunk she was taking to Hogwarts bewitched to be able to carry a year's worth of belongings. Narcissa had already packed her trunk two weeks in advance and used her organized checklist to triple check that she hadn't forgotten anything. The deafening silence in the house suggested that Narcissa was the first to awaken. The silence was quickly shattered by the sounds of the house-elves downstairs scrambling to prepare the family's breakfast. Narcissa's sapphire eyes rolled at the thought of the house-elves. Cygnus Black was typically the first in the household to be ready before leaving for the Ministry. If breakfast was not ready prior to his descent into the lavish dining hall, the house-elves would be severely punished. While Narcissa did not take a particular liking to physical abuse, she believed house-elves were inferior creatures that deserved it.
Narcissa's carefully manicured slim fingers pulled back her velvet vanity bench to prop herself up in front of her vanity table. She picked up a brush and slowly laced the bristles through her long thick silvery blonde hair. She carefully cast a curling charm resulting in a cascade of loose golden waves descending from her scalp. The Black sisters were all blessed with thick luscious hair, however contrary to Narcissa, Bellatrix and Andromeda had raven black hair, the staple of the Black family's dark aristocratic looks.
Narcissa was interrupted with a loud bang from her eldest sister Bellatrix bursting into her room.
"Cissy did you take my new black boots? I swear if you did I'll hex those curls off of your pretty little head!" yelled Bellatrix while frantically searching in every fold and corner of Narcissa's room.
Narcissa rolled her eyes and stood calmly watching her sister with a glare so piercing that it could transfigure an entire room into ice. Bellatrix was what muggles call 'wild' with a fiery temper and lack of regard for upholding the Pureblood manners and etiquette etched into the girls by their mother Druella.
"You know Bella, maybe if you would have looked properly before barging into my room you would have saved some breath for the next person you screech at" replied Narcissa in a calm and cool tone while pointing at the new pair of black leather boots in the corridor.
Bellatrix's eyes engulfed in flames as she stared at the boots outside with a horrified expression on her face.
"That CRETIN Kreacher must've put them there when I CLEARLY told him to LEAVE THEM IN MY ROOM" She screamed with a sinister look slowly creeping into her eyes.
"I'm going to go teach that vermin a lesson to not get his disgusting fingers on HIS MASTER'S THINGS" cried Bellatrix with a voice so loud echoes were heard across the top floor of the Black's mansion.
Narcissa raised her eyebrows and spun her heel to return to her room before her shoulder was caught by Bellatrix.
"You were right Cissy, I really did need that extra breath," she said in a low devilish tone with a quick hug from the side before marching down the stairs. Narcissa knew that sadistic look. Despite preparing breakfast on time, Kreacher would not be having a pleasant morning.
Narcissa spun around at the sound of sound of soft steps to see Andromeda peering out of her bedroom door.
"What did Bella do this time?" She asked in a voice that resembled the warmth of a blanket.
"The usual" Narcissa said with a smile which resulted in a fit of giggles from Andromeda.
"At least mother and father have two sane daughters" replied Andromeda
"For now," Narcissa remarked with a soft chuckle.
Her sisters were both so different but Narcissa loved them both dearly and wouldn't have it any other way.
