It was another year and a half before I defied the Dark Lord the second time. Lily Evans and James Potter had married the summer after they graduated and were now blissful newlyweds. It was quite a shock for Andromeda when she sat down next to me in the church. The Longbottoms had married as well, though I wasn't invited to their wedding, and both couples had faced the Dark Lord for the second time while on Order business.

I was going in to my sixth year at Hogwarts and I could hardly wait. Though most of my friends had graduated, most of my friends were either friends of Bella or friends of Lily, but I had become very good friends with Emmeline Vance, a Ravenclaw in my year. It was nice to have friends, the first four and a half years of my life at Hogwarts I spent alone so now that I had a friend I was practically bouncing off the walls in my compartment as I waited for Emmeline.

We had a good first semester. We were doing well in all of our classes; I myself was doing especially well Charms while Emmeline was top of the class in Defense. We had a perfect life, we giggled over letters Lucius sent me and analyzed everything Regulus Black said to her, and even with my run in with the Dark Lord I was still innocent. Purebloods aren't brought up to love their parents; they're brought up to respect them. When my parents were killed I really wasn't fazed, the part that upset me the most was the fact I would have to live with crazy Aunt Walburga. I had a few dates with Lucius in Hogsmeade and all of them went much better than the first. Like I said, everything was perfect, and then Christmas came.

I usually stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas. I always used the excuse that I had lots of studying to do or something to that effect. I still managed to make it to the Malfoy Christmas ball by sweet talking Slughorn into taking me there through side- along apparition. But the Christmas of my sixth year I received a letter from my Aunt Walburga stating that 'I don't care if you're failing all of your classes you must come home this Christmas break.' I could have sent an owl back saying that I already was home but I was worried she would punish me as she had with Sirius for my cheek. So instead I took the train 'home' to Number 12 Grimmauld Place. I had expected a meeting on an arranged marriage to Lucius or plans for Bella's marriage. I was not expecting to enter a sitting room where both Lucius and the Dark Lord were waiting.

Well, Lucius was panting on the floor while the Dark Lord stood over him, pocketing his wand. I immediately ran to Lucius and cradled his head. He had obviously just been subjected to the torture curse and I feared I was next. I silently helped Lucius onto the couch before turning towards The Dark Lord. Emmeline had rubbed off on me so I gazed him strait in the eyes and started to ask the most direct question I could think of.

"What are-?" I was silenced with a flick of the wand that felt like a punch in the mouth. Curious, I had never come across a silencing spell that also caused pain. I'll have to look that up when I go back to school.

"Women should be seen and not heard and you won't be going back to school." Great he was a bloody Legilimens too. The Dark Lord chuckled at my thoughts.

"I'm surprised you know the term, has Dumbledore started training his students against me?" Like Dumbledore would include me in those lessons if there was such thing. He wouldn't trust a Slytherin with his socks, let alone his secret societies. Once again the Dark Lord chuckled and I found that I was tired of having him in my head. Silently I remembered what that library book had said about Occlumency and what Snape had tried to teach me. I emptied my brain of everything other than that book and watched the smile disappear from the man (if you could even call him that) in front of me's face.

"Why are you thinking of a book?" I ignored his comment and tried to separate my brain into two parts, the book on one side and everything else on the other side that I would not let him see. It was a miracle that I was able to do this and I had a feeling that I wouldn't be able to usually. The Dark Lord brought out an anger in me that made me want to do anything I could to protect the ones I love and me. My Aunt Walburga entered the room.

"Is she not cooperating, my Lord?" She simpered the words and I felt like I was going to barf. I felt bad for The Dark Lord for a moment; I wouldn't want that cow simpering at me like that. The Dark Lord smiled. Damn, I must have let that one through the barrier.

"No she is fine, and you were right she is quite beautiful." He raised his hand and stroked my cheek. I stood stock still, afraid to move. My Aunt, on the other hand, was nodding excitedly.

"When you brought it up I couldn't help thinking she is perfect for what you want." I do not want to know what he wants. I could see Lucius clenching and unclenching his fists out of the corner of my eye, apparently he already knows and he doesn't like it.

'What exactly do you want me for?' I let the question slip to the side of my brain he could see. The silencing charm was still holding strong and I couldn't ask such a disrespectful question in front of Aunt Walburga anyway.

"Well, dear Narcissa, my bed has been cold recently and I need something to warm it." He leered at me and Walburga looked ecstatic, what a sick bitch.

'I thought love for women, love for anything, was for the weak.' Slytherins were all for anything this guy had to say and people were quoting him left and right in the common room.

"Yes, it is for the weak, but desire, that is something we all have. Desire for money, desire for power, desire for you. He whispered the last word and I almost barfed, this guy was old enough to be my father!

"I see why you like her Lucius; unfortunately you won't be getting her." Lucius was gritting his teeth from the couch.

'What? Lucius and I are supposed to be married as soon as I turn seventeen!' The Dark Lord started leering again. What a bloody git.

"Not anymore you're mine." He was leaning over me with his disgusting face, I wonder if his snake looks like a snake as well. Get it? He is standing so he is looking down on me from a foot above. Is he trying to look more superior? McLaggen tried that when I turned him down on a date. I'll treat The Dark Lord the same as I did McLaggen. With that thought I spit in his face. Simultaneously Lucius petrified Walburga and then stunned The Dark Lord I tied him up and we ran up stairs for my things. We used magic to pack and I scribbled a note to Bellatrix. After that we apparated away as quickly as we could. I guess I'll never know about his snake.

That was the second time Lucius and I defied Voldemort. I am still surprised that Aunt Walburga did not blast me off the family tree, but my face is still there. Maybe The Dark Lord convinced her not to because he was so intrigued or maybe Walburga was just tired of blasting people off the tree. I think I'm going to stick with the first option; Walburga would never get tired of that.

We apparated to Malfoy Manor, where Lucius' parents lived. They loved me and wanted our marriage more than anything. So I was not surprised when they agreed to house me if needed. I, however declined. I couldn't stay in my boyfriend's home it would be inappropriate but I couldn't go back to Hogwarts because Slughorn would hand me over to Walburga if she asked immediately. Instead I bounced between Andromeda and Ted's home, Sirius and Remus' flat (those 3 days were awkward), James and Lily's home in Godric Hollow, the Prewitt twins apartment, and Emmeline's parents' home. And oddly enough, it was the best Christmas I've ever had.
