A plan in mind, Narcissa got to work.
Summoning one of the house elves to get her breakfast, Narcissa threw on a simple robe, got out a few pieces of parchment, a quill and an ink pot and began writing, hiding her merchandise in her vast closet, hidden behind her numerous robes and dresses. Merlin help her if Lucius found it.
An hour later and an empty plate, save a few crumbs, Narcissa leaned back in her chair, mentally exhausted.
"Thank Merlin I'm finally finished with this." she thought to herself as she picked up and looked at the finished parchment.
Step One: Buy a house next door to or near the Grangers(from what she could tell, Harry and Hermione were Soulmates, the faster she can get the duo to kiss, the better. From what she saw in her visions, the abuse Harry suffered stunted his emotions for a while and by the time he realized he loved her, the custom love potions were applied. As far as she knew, Ron, Molly and Arthur were in on the potions. Ginerva and the others she was unsure of.)
After a few weeks of research, she was appalled at the idiocy of the goblins. For the past few untold number of years, Gringotts have charged non magicals £5 per Galleon. However, each Galleon, when sold to the non magical side, was worth £506. Finding out that the price of gold would decrease the more she performed this exchange, she set up a strict exchange limit of 10 Galleons a week: 9 Galleons/£4554 towards buying a house, opening an account with the non magical bank Barclays. With the untouched money quickly gaining interest, another aspect she enjoyed, the other £506 towards splurging on and experiencing the wonderful world she discovered that Halloween night.
Step Two: Find a way to destroy all the Horcruxes(considering how backwards Magical Britain is compared to its non magical counterpart in MANY aspects, foreign aid is the best bet so far. We were taught that muggles were barely scraping by for the most part, which is clearly not the case: what else has the Ministry been lying to us about? Magical America or Magical Japan seem like the best options so far.)
Step Three: Cripple Magical Britain(Of all the countries, Magical Britain has had the most named Dark Lords. As the laws have never, if not barely changed over the centuries, and the death of hundreds, even thousands of innocent civilians is the last option, financially crippling Britain is the best option so far. Hopefully I can convince Harry and Hermione that the Marriage Contracts must be enacted.)
Step Four: Learn about the Non Magical World (Considering I've lived as a witch all my life, this will be the tedious step. As I'm starting with zero knowledge, purchasing books, Legillimency and working my Occlumency to their limits will be the primary source of knowledge obtaining, using and retaining it.)
One month after her venture into the muggle world (not muggle she chastised herself, no animal could create such wonderful food like pizza) Narcissa began her plan.
March 24th, 1999
As Narcissa deposited another £4554 into her Barclays account, a young toddler with messy black hair and emerald eyes was locked into a cupboard under the stairs, not to be let out for a few hours for saying he was hungry.
May 16th, 2001
Narcissa was taking a quick vacation in France, enjoying the much more revealing bikinis as compared to the one piece suits she used to wear. A book on teaching herself how to drive in hand, Narcissa subtly looked over the edge of the pages, noting that many people, both men and women, were catching a few peeks of her and her amazing figure, which was tanning under the sun.
August 3rd, 2003
Narcissa finally purchased her house alongside the furniture, clothing and various appliances common in the non magical world, the TV and a computer, something she used every day. Meanwhile, a toddler was hit in the back of the head with a frying pan for tripping in shoes that were slightly too big for him, dropping the plate he was carrying and wasting a vastly obese man's breakfast, one who looked distinctively like a walrus.
January 2nd, 2005
A cup of tea and some toast for breakfast in hand, Narcissa looked at the calendar in her kitchen. Seeing the date, Narcissa grinned.
"Today's the day." she whispered.
AN: I know that there's no direct evidence of The Dursleys beating Harry, but it is not out of the realm of possibility. Considering various lines of text throughout the series, and what we know of these characters, one can make Harry be beaten by his relatives and it wouldn't be completely OOC.
Ex: he still had to duck as she aimed a heavy blow at his head with the soapy frying pan (Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 1)
He had barely staggered upright when two large purple hands reached through the open window and closed tightly around his throat. (Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 3)
As long experience taught Harry to remain out of arm's reach of his Uncle whenever possible (Half Blood Prince, Chapter 3) strongly implies Vernon is prone to physical violence
Also, I'm gonna tell you guys something shocking: someone can hate a character in the series from reading the books alone. For me, Ron Weasley I detest with a huge passion. He's someone you don't see portrayed in the media anymore, and for good reason, as the way he acts is something very few people find acceptable in the real world.
