#billnarcissa

the first time it happens, it’s an accident.

bill and fleur had another fight, and narcissa and lucius haven’t been the same since the war – somehow they find themselves at the same bar, trying to forget their problems at home

bill insists that it’s a one time thing, it won’t happen again. but the next time he and fleur fight (it seems to be happening more and more) he sends an owl to narcissa. he doesn’t know what makes him do it

lucius isn’t home, so narcissa goes to meet him. this time, instead of a dark alley, they go back to malfoy manor.

bill feels guilty, but not enough to tell fleur. every time they fight, he goes to narcissa for an escape.

before long, bill is finding excuses not to come home – he has to work late, work is sending him somewhere for training – and eventually he stops feeling guilty

narcissa has never felt guilty about their affair

her marriage with lucius had died long ago, and bill makes her feel alive like lucius never has

she’s falling for bill, really falling, but she pretends that it’s just about the physical

they sneak around for about a year before the truth comes out – bill tells fleur about everything and narcissa thinks it’s the end of their affair, that bill chose his wife over her

but then bill sends her an owl and they meet at the bar where everything started.

“I left my wife for you, narcissa”
