January Event: Narcissa Black/Lucius Malfoy [Easy Pairing]
Gringotts: Narcissa/Lucius [Narcissa - Pairings]
Chocolate Frog Card: (Silver) Charity Burbage: Challenge: Write about the class or studies of Muggle Studies. Alternatively, write about Charity Burbage.
Narcissa recognised the woman that was being tortured on their dining table; they'd gone to school together and though they'd never been friendly or even interacted, she knew of her. She'd forgotten about her until Draco had gone to Hogwarts and it turned out she was a teacher at the school, a Professor of Muggle Studies.
Realistically, even if it wasn't for the Dark Lord and his opinions, the class would still be useless because what wizard or witch is going to leave the magical world? No-one with half a brain, that was for sure.
The screams of Charity Burbage escalated with each curse and Narcissa's hand was clutched between Lucius'; he recognised her too.
"Draco," the witch whispered, "Please."
No point praying to him, Narcissa thought. No point praying to anyone. She was going to die here, today, on her table. There was nothing any of them could do about it and so she sat there, stoic, with her hand grasping her husband's for support.
She may have hated his life choices and hated herself for agreeing with him but she still loved him, even as they watched the light disappear from one of their old school companions.
