3rd person point of view. July 31st, 1985. Malfoy Manor, London, England.
Sitting in her and Lucius's bathroom, Narcissa is curling Aribella's hair. Little to Narcissa's Knowledge there would end up being a surprising guest to the birthday party tonight, but we'll get to that later.
"Mama?" Asks the little 5-year girl sitting still.
"Yes, Ari?" Asked Narcissa.
"Is aunt Trixie coming to me and Draco's birthday?" Asks Aribella as Narcissa turns off the curling iron and hair spraying the little girl's hair.
"No, princess. I'm sorry." Bellatrix was sentenced to life in Azkaban for the torture of the Longbottom's. So long she has been in Azkaban for three years. It's kind of a little hard to tell a 5-year-old their aunt is in Azkaban. Just then Draco runs into the room.
"Hi, Draco" Aribella says to her older brother.
"Hi Ari." Responds Draco. Ever since Aribella was young, she's never let anyone outside of family call her Ari or Bella.
A Little while later at the party.
Aribella is standing next to her brother as people take pictures of her and her family. Malfoy Manor's security is so tight that people without invitations to the party couldn't get in so imagine Narcissa's surprise when Sirius shows up while she's taking pictures with Aribella, Draco, and Lucius.
"Aribella? Draco? Why don't you two go find Uncle Snape?" The twin little kids look up at her. "Me and your father have to talk about something." Draco and Aribella look at each other and Narcissa can visibly see the differences in their appearances. Where Draco is pale Aribella is tanner than her brother. Where Draco's eyes are grey blue Aribella's are a vibrant blue the color of the bluest ocean. And Where Draco's hair is blonde with curls (Black family gene. Fun fact: Narcissa had to spell her hair to stay straight) that have to be spelled to stay straight Aribella's hair is brown with curls. The two children then run off to find their godfather.
"It's good to see Aribella grew up into a lovely looking 5-year-old. Too bad I'll have to take her so soon." Sirius says as he approaches Lucius and Narcissa. Narcissa has her back to Sirius so she can see Lucius' face harden up when Sirius approaches them and speaks. Narcissa understands that as a twin you need to be with your twin to form a bond and that Aribella needs to be with Harry, but she and Lucius also knows what the prophecy states. The 5-year-old girl must be raised as a pure blooded family and become a death eater.
"You can't take her, Sirius. I refuse to let you" Narcissa says turning to face the man. Lucius is clutching his wand in his hand tightly.
"She won't full fill that prophecy Narcissa. We both know it." Sirius says taunting Lucius and Narcissa.
"Unless you want to be in Azkaban for not only breaking into my home but also for the murder of the potters," Lucius says "I suggest you leave. Now."
"Murder of the Potters? You're deranged, Malfoy" Sirius says. "Who would believe that lie?"
"Many people, Black. Don't doubt my ability to twist stories." Lucius Says.
"Leave Sirius or I will contact the security" Narcissa says peacefully.
"I'm just telling you, Narcissa. That girl" Sirius points to Aribella "will never full fill the whole prophecy." Sirius says before he walks away. Narcissa lets out a breath of air she didn't know she was holding as Lucius wraps his arms around his wife's waist. Narcissa turns to see Aribella and Draco talking to Severus about something."
"What are we going to do, Lucius? What if Sirius is right? What if she doesn't full fill the prophecy?" Narcissa says as she goes into panic.
"We are going to get through this, Cissy. Like we got through school, and the arranged marriage, then finding each other again, and then all the failed attempts of starting a family. We'll get through this together. And as for Sirius. He'll be off the streets soon, darling. And that beautiful girl" Lucius points to you "will full fill her prophecy. She'll full fill the prophecy because we are her family. Not Sirius. Not Harry. Me and you are her parents and Draco is her brother." Lucius starts to rub circles on Narcissa's waist.
"You're right, love." Narcissa says turning to kiss Lucius' check.
