Tears of happiness streaked down Narcissa's face. Her baby was alive and, from the looks of things, completely normal. She held onto her husband tightly, thrilled out of her wildest dreams. He was smiling in a wide, toothy grin. They shared a kiss as they exited St. Mungo's, before returning to Malfoy Manor. Narcissa was just starting to show, and was glowing with joy.

Entering her second trimester wasn't all that good. She felt insecure about her weight gain, even though Lucius still looked at her like he had when they were first dating.

Narcissa smiled at the memory.

It was her first year at Hogwarts, and she was waiting to be sorted. The room was quiet as the sorting hat began it's song:

"I'm the Hogwarts sorting hat

Made by our founders four,

Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff,

Slytherin and Gryffindor.

Each of our founders made a house

To choose from those who entered,

The traits they valued most in them so they'd be among those who were similarly centered.

For Gryffindor the bravest students were valued for what they'd overcame,

For Ravenclaw the intelligent were the ones whom she sought to claim.

Slytherin prized those with pride, cunning, and ambition,

And Hufflepuff took on those who worked hard and were of a cheery disposition.

With houses made and students picked with all fairly divided,

The founders faced one last conundrum for which no answer could be cited.

How were they to choose their students after they were dead?

Gryffindor was the one who solved it by taking me From his head.

The founders put their brains in me so I could sort you each

So come forward now that I may show you what they have to teach.

There's one last thing I'd like to add before I sort you all tonight:

Though in different houses you may be, try your best not to fight.

For fighting split apart the founders we all know,

Until it got bad enough that old Slytherin decided to go.

Now that you know the story of our founders and their traits,

'Tis time for me to sort you and for you to know your fate."

When they called her name she was nervous, but when she heard the hat shout "SLYTHERIN!" Her nerves vanished. Bella and Andy stood, clapping for her. As she moved to sit at the dining room table with her sisters Lucius spied her from the other side of the table. Her figure was willowy with platinum blonde hair contrasting her robes. He knew he had to have her, so when she was about to go to the common room, he ran to catch up with her, and confidently walked up to her.

"If I were to look into the Mirror of Erised, I'd see the two of us together."

It was not the first time she had seen him, but it was the first time they'd really spoken. Narcissa blushed. She'd heard tales about the Mirror of Erised from Bella, who was infamous for sneaking around Hogwarts. For an instant, she thanked whatever deity existed that she understood what he was talking about.

"Smooth. I'm Narcissa Black." She said, extending her hand to him.

"Lucius Malfoy. The pleasure is all mine." He bowed gallantly and kissed her hand. She giggled slightly. The sound delighted his ears. "Would you like to go out sometime?"

She smiled. "Sure."

Appearing back in her home shook her from her reverie. Lucius was looking at her.

"Is everything alright, darling?" He asked.

"I was just remembering the first time you asked me on a date." She said, kissing his cheek. They shared a smile.

"Do you still remember our first date?"

"How could I forget?"

Her mind flashed back to that wonderful day.

It was over the next weekend. He had held her hand as they walked around the grounds, talking about their future plans and dreams, about the families they came from and some of the history behind them. Narcissa spoke highly of her sisters as Lucius gazed at her longingly. Her cheeks were flushed with excitement and her smile was brilliantly bright. He noticed how her lip curled slightly when she was concentrating. It was so attractive on her.

When she looked into his eyes, that's when he knew she was the one for him. Their eyes locked and they slowly leaned in to kiss one another. It was an electric sensation that surged throughout their bodies. He knew this was the woman of his dreams, and the kiss only accentuated the point.

In the present, they smiled at the old memories and kissed again. Draco was waiting for them, and only until he cleared his throat would he get his parents attention. Narcissa went over to him and gave him a kiss.

"We're still pregnant." She said, triumphantly. Draco smiled.

"I'm glad." And he was. Finally, his mother's fears had been laid to rest. Narcissa held her son tightly, pride making her eyes water. She sat for a few minutes, wondering what to do next. She supposed she ought to eat now in case she got a headache and couldn't move later. Draco left quickly, saying he wasn't hungry, but kissed his mother on the cheek before going. She was quickly served at the table, where she sat with her husband, remembering all of the important dates in their lives. She knew that with him by her side, she could face anything. She put her hand on his, a gentle, loving gesture. He grinned and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you." She whispered.

"Only slightly less than I love you." He teased, gently. She laughed, and it still had that magical quality to make him forget all his troubles, just like when they were young. He never got tired of hearing her laugh, and knew that he never would. As Lucius held his wife's hand, returning her loving gaze, he knew their future together would be bright indeed.
