Narcissa Malfoy

I wa- I saw him die.

I saw Narcissa go and stand over his body and stand up and announce that he was dead.

I saw Hagrid moaning and wailing.

I s- Like, he was dead.

Bellatrix, it's all, like, they're either unhinged or they're uppity or it's like they're-

Malfoy has a little bit more-

She has a little bit more depth

...

Narcissa has a little bit more.

Yeah, she has some nuance to it, but I don't even necessarily consider her a villain 'cause I think she has so much redemption.

Well, I think we're meant to, and I think-

He barely felt the icy breeze nipping at his cheeks, his determination propelling him forward with each step.

He had spent all evening coming up with a plan based on Narcissa's advice.

The witch had spent nearly two hours going over every scrap of information she knew about courting rituals.

It was scarily thorough.

First, you need to apologise for your monumental lapse in judgement during your argument.

And it needs to be good.' Charlie began to interrupt, but his brother quickly silenced him with a chastising look.

"'Second, you will need to tell her you love her and present her with a letter of intent.' Have you written it yet? No, but Narcissa instructed me as to what it needs to formally state.

My full name and title.

A table with drinks and nibbles took up the back wall, but the French doors had been opened up, leaving the garden accessible as it was a lovely sunny day.

Hermione could see Andromeda and Narcissa on the lawn, talking with a woman with blonde hair and cooing over the baby she held.

Further into the garden she spotted Lucius talking with Professor McGonagall.

Remus stood under a tree chatting to Ted.

She grimaced as she scanned the room quickly and found Draco tucked into a corner, sitting on a sofa and glowering as Tonks chatted on about something to him.

"'Poor Tonks,' thought Hermione.

It looked like the young aura had drawn the short straw and been told to look after Draco.' She was vaguely aware that Andromeda and her family had been meeting with Narcissa and Draco since the last family meeting in July as a way to get him acclimated with interacting politely with people he would normally simply sneer at as he adjusted to the New World Order.

In some ways, she felt sorry for Draco.

No one seemed eager to speak to him.

Neither Astoria nor Narcissa called at the flue.

The confidential informant, Pritchett, who'd left them trapped in a warehouse to unwittingly witness a love affair between two of their suspects, did not check back in.

Ruiz did not drop by.

... because Bellatrix is directly involved.

She is the bonder of the Unbreakable Vow between Narcissa and Snape, obviously.

And so, like, the idea that she is also, like, the victim, like, like almost as if Voldemort said, like, "You will not fail me in battle," or-

Right

Like,

Narcissa doesn't have it.

She's not really a Death Eater.

Right, but, like, I guess what I'm saying is that there are other people...

We don't know anything about Bellatrix other than she's married to Rodolphus.

She's sisters with Andromeda and Narcissa.

We don't know anything about Narcissa other than she's Draco's mom and she's married to Lucius.

We barely meet Andromeda.

She's married to Ted Tonks.

She'd had too much else going on.

"Why?" "Well, it was he and Narcissa.

They both felt responsible, partially responsible," Pansy clarifies, "for what happened in the manor.

I think calling attention to it made it feel disingenuous.
