BIOGRAPHY —

WHERE WE BEGAN → You had a rough childhood, you knew that from the parts you could remember, and the parts that you didn’t you couldn’t help but wonder if your subconscious was protecting you. You didn’t have the whole story but just bits and pieces you decided it was best to not put together. What you did know was that your parents passed away when you were young, barely able to remember being left in muggle foster care. You bounced from place to place, unable to feel like you truly belonged anywhere. It was the classic behavior that one would expect from a child alone in the world. And even if you wanted to feel like you belonged it was like something was standing in your way to keep you from getting too comfortable. Most of the families were blurred, faces you could barely remember until you turned nine and then entered in the family who you hadn’t expected to find you. The mum with warm hugs who tucked you in at night, the dad who wanted to share moments in the garage with you, the older sister who didn’t resent you for coming into her home. It was the first place you felt at home but like all good things in your life it didn’t last. You were six months into your stay when weird things started happening. Doors would slam, things on top shelves would fall to the ground, but the breaking point for them was when you gotten upset over something so trivial that you couldn’t remember and the mirror on the wall had shattered. The daughter had been too close and shards were lodged in her arm. Someone from foster care picked you up that night and you gave up hope of ever finding a family. It was a lonely year and a half where you didn’t try to make friends for fear that you would hurt them. You’d been classified as a danger risk and that meant families didn’t want to even see you. But that fateful night when the man in the long cloak came knocking changed your whole outlook on life. He spoke of magic and how you could learn to control the things that made you dangerous or he could take them away. Hesitation etched your features but ultimately you choose to go to this school he spoke of. Anywhere had to be better than here. Or so you hoped--perhaps there you’d be welcomed, perhaps there you wouldn’t be looked at like a freak. DURING SCHOOL →  Little did you know that you’d still get the looks of being a freak because you were what people here called a “muggleborn” which meant you were the bottom of your class. Their were others like you but only so many had made the choice to leave their lives behind and the ones who did were more or less like you. They had nothing in their previous life and were desperate to fit in here. The purebloods were cruel and used you as a punching bag, knocking into you at anytime, shoving you down with no warning, and laughing at you as you walked by. The halfbloods were better but so much worse at the same time, they were fearful that if they made friends with the muggleborns they’d be treated just as badly so they saw the mistreatment and looked the other way. Fear dictated everything they did, it was sad. You found that you didn’t fit into this world either and because of that your nose was kept in a book learning about magic. You’d given up all hope of making friends until that night in the Astronomy Tower when one Andromeda Black entered. You’d scurried to gather your things to get out of their way when instead Andromeda asked you to stay. It started the beginning of your friendship which soon blossomed into something more. Hidden behind closed doors you two were inseparable and for the first time in a long time you felt happiness. WHERE WE ARE NOW  → Graduation came with new challenges such as finding a career and you’d dreamed of working for the Prophet, writing your own articles. A laugh bellowed from the editor who’d determined that the voice of a muggleboron wasn’t welcome to write their articles but if you’d wanted a job so badly they needed a fact checker. Their message is cloudy at best and at times you find yourself disagreeing with them all together but they pay well enough and it’s as close to writing as you’ll ever get. And then there was the matter of Andromeda who was informed of their impeding marriage to one Lucius Malfoy. You hated the idea of it but the last thing you’d ever do is put the person you loved in danger, you can remember begging Andromeda to keep their nose down and live their life as they’re supposed to but that wasn’t Andromeda. The Resistance they’d begun with their cousin caught fire and soon everyone was speaking of it in whispers. It didn’t take long for someone to connect the dots and once their parents figured out what was going on they turned Andromeda over and they were forced to Azkaban where they’d died. Once again you were alone and scared but the message Andromeda had put out there was still running through the mills but it was no secret to you that you were being watched by one Bellatrix Lestrange so you did your best to keep as far away from members as possible. You wouldn’t be the reason that they failed.

NARCISSA MALFOY - Unsure: You know that Narcissa knew of your and Andromeda’s relationship long before anyone else did. You can’t help but wonder why they didn’t tell anyone like Bellatrix. You also know that they loved Andromeda as much as you did and perhaps hope there could be a bridge formed there. RABASTAN LESTRANGE - Likes: You like Rabastan and in someway you even trust them but you won’t drag down the Resistance. You’re almost sure that Rab is keeping them going in the shadows, there are too many eyes on you for anyone inside that cause to be associated with you.  KINGSLEY RIDDLE - Informative: Kingsley comes to you when they need a story to be buried and you do your best to make sure that whatever they’re hiding never sees the eyes of anyone in the Wizarding World. Or that it’s spun in a way that makes the Ministry look good. You wouldn’t dare cross Kingsley, you know better. CONNECTIONS TED TONKS IS MENTIONED IN

BIOGRAPHY —

WHERE WE BEGAN → The blondest and the brightest of the Black family was often looked down upon, even as a wee babe when you were used as a prop to be shown off by your parents. To their faces it was all smiles and charm of how gorgeous their latest pureblooded creation was but in whispers people said what they truly believed. An heir and a spare was the normal and everyone knew what a third child was to a pureblood family especially one as highly ranked as the Blacks--a mistake. Rumors that Narcissa was the child of a muggle circulated around the Wizarding World not that anyone was brave enough to say these thoughts aloud to your parents unless they had a death sentence. But still, people were cruel and you could see the way people looked at you as if you weren’t worth their time. Even as a child you had to learn to ignore the unworthy who gossip and hold your head high, nose to the sky. You knew even then that one day you’d show them all that Narcissa Black was a force to be reckoned with. Most of your childhood was incredibly lonely despite being in such a large family. Bellatrix was more often than not with your father learning everything that needed to be learned as the heir of a pureblood family. Andromeda was with your mother who needed to be prepared for the honor to be married off to the heir of another family. You would wait around for the moment that your siblings weren’t busy, those rare moments where the three of you would run through the gardens playing childish games were the best memories you had. They were few and fleeting those moments but you’d remember it when they both were gone for Hogwarts and now it was your turn to learn what your parents had to teach you. Your only goal was to learn it all better and faster than your siblings before you, your parents would rue the day that they saved you for last. DURING SCHOOL → You knew what was coming at age eleven, you knew Hogwarts was calling and had heard the stories from your siblings. Classes were easy to buzz through after all magic came easy to the Pureblood families who’d been prepared for these moments their entire lives. You were no different. Charismatic, intelligent, a sight to be seen and admired by all around. Most people wanted to be you... everyone except for you. The friendships your forged were more often than not ones that were calculated, they were recommended friends by your parents, by Bellatrix. After all it was always better to make nice with the people who were going to be something after Hogwarts. You didn’t bother associating with the half-blood's or muggle-borns. You knew better. You were raised better... but then again so had Andromeda and the rumors that the middle Black child was running around with a muggle born didn’t fall on deaf ears. If you heard the rumors then there was no doubting that Bellatrix had to. The oldest of the three wouldn’t have this but that was none of your business. You had your own things to mind. Your determination to be the best resulted in the focus on your studies and the friends that you kept,  you wouldn’t be dragged down by your siblings who couldn’t seem to fall into line. WHERE WE ARE NOW → You were fresh out of Hogwarts when the whispers of the Resistance caught your attention, not that you’d dare let anyone know that you were listening to the grapevine. You were much to busy making a name for yourself outside of your family. Focused on maintaining the friendships that made you look good and preparing to be the most perfect pureblood wife you were just as shocked as the rest of the world when it came out that Andromeda and Regulus had tarnished the Black name and they were the ones who’d been behind the resistance. Despite the agony that filled your heart watching the sentencing of them to Azkaban you kept the emotion off your face and even despite the reservations of being forced into a marriage with Lucius, who’d been promised to marry Andromeda, you did as you were told. Your wedding was the talk of the Wizarding world and perhaps in some light Lucius was a good husband. You did as you were told, you did as you were told but that doesn’t mean you agree with any of it. No, your far too cunning to fall into line with the way that everyone wants you to. You’ve got a glint in your eye that no one can see and while you’re not foolish enough to follow the resistance you’re also not stupid enough to want to skip through life taking orders from the man who’s crowned himself king of the Wizarding World.

LUCIUS MALFOY - Partner in marriage: You’re willing to do whatever it takes to keep your marriage in tact. After all, that’s what’s expected of you, and you won’t be the next Andromeda. It doesn’t matter that they don’t seem to love you and you don’t seem to love them. TED TONKS - Keeping distance: Part of you hates them, they’re the reason that Andromeda is gone, or that’s how you feel. If they had never met Ted perhaps your sibling would still be alive. And yet you wonder what is so special about the muggleborn that your sibling would die for them. SIRIUS BLACK - Cousin: Bonded over the loss of a sibling, the fact that they are your only cousin left means you keep close to them. You had never really cared for one another much before, funny how those things change. CONNECTIONS NARCISSA MALFOY IS MENTIONED IN
