Destined ~ Narcissa Black

★Chapter One★

I look up at gorgeous view above me, the stars danced perfectly in the sky while the moon stood proud granting us the gift of light to shine up our night. I slumped back onto the tree trunk, lighting up a cigarette, I always came up here when I was feeling down, it brought me comfort, it gave me a chance to have some quiet time alone.

I hear a snap, making my eyes glow and my defence instincts kick in. I look around but no one was there. I take a chance and look down to the ground, low and behold my brother was there staring up at me. "Hey, can I join you?" He asks and I nod while watching him climb up and sit next to me.

"Want some?" I ask holding out the cigar.

"Ren you know I don't smoke" He replies smiling

"Oh shit yeah" I mutter taking a drag.

We sit there in silence, not the awkward kind though, nothing was ever awkward when Harry was here. He accepted who I was, even though I got sorted into Slytherin and him Gryffindor, he still loved me as his little sister. I could see out the corner of my eye that he looked uneasy.  "What's up?"

"I think there's someone here.. I'm not sure" He replies, his eyes locked straight ahead toward the bushes.

I allow my eyes to glow again so I could see for myself and I saw silhouettes of two women, one was slightly taller. I open my ears to try and hear what they were saying.

"Is that the girl you've been dreaming about recently?" A bitter voice said.

"Yes, she's the exact one.." A more softer voice answered.

My eyes widen, they were talking about me? I don't even know who they are.. I've never heard those voices in my life.

"So what should we do now?" The bitter voice said

"We go get her.."

And that was it. I grabbed Harry by the collar of his shirt and bolted out the tree, into the building. We rounded corners, up and down some stairs until we reached the Gryffindor common room, Harry said the password and the doors opened. We swiftly make our way inside and i finally take a moment to catch my breath.

"What did you see?" Harry asked me

"I didn't see anything, it was what i heard that made me run.." I begin "There were two women, talking about me. One of them said that they were dreaming about me, then the last thing i heard one of them say was that they were going to get me.."

He looked rather concerned at what i had just told him. He shook his head and walked up to his dorm room, leaving me here alone. He looked angry with me, as if he didn't like what i told him. I take a seat on the sofa and just stare at the flames before me. After a while i hear somebody come down the stairs, it was Harry. He has something in his hand, looked like a letter.

"We have another mission.. From the Order" He says in a low voice.

I sit up, "Yeah? Whats the mission?"

"We need to go to the department of mysteries and find a prophecy. It seems to be important if the Order needs it." He explains.

"When do we leave?" I ask.

"Thursday, we have to leave late at night to avoid being caught by the ghosts in the corridor, then the rest of us will meet at the forbidden forest. After, we leave." He says, his voice more serious.

I nod, looking down at my pocket watch, it was almost the time where the students where to wake up. I say my goodbyes and head to the Slytherin dorms to get myself ready for the day. I make my way to my bedroom, getting changed into my robes. I put on some eyeliner, light makeup and brush my hair. I take a look in the mirror, checking to see if i look decent for the day and i make my way to meet Harry seen as though we have the same classes today.

I felt myself being pulled back by the hood of my cloak, i turn to see my best friend Draco, he starts laughing at me. "You should have seen the look on your face Ren!"

"Fuck off" I mumbled.

"C'mon wheres the humor gone today?" He asks looking concerned.

"I haven't slept" I say with a slight yawn.

"Ah well we have the same lessons today so that'll cheer you up right?" He smiles

"Yeah but Harry's gonna be with us all day too" I sigh

"I'll tolerate him for you.." He shrugs

After that, we head down to our first lesson, potions luckily it was only Snape so it didn't bug me as much seen as he is the head of our house. We somehow managed to get there earlier than the rest of the students, we take our seats next to each other and listen to the groaning students outside the door. Snape goes to the door and lets them in, they take their seats, Harry sitting on my other side then the lesson begins.

End of school day:

I groan as I sit next to Harry in the great hall, today was longer than I had expected. We were waiting for Ron to get his luggage sorted so we can go to the Weasleys to plan out how the mission will go.

We finally managed to get the train last minute, thanks to Ron. I close my eyes and try to get some sleep before the mission, for some reason I had a bad feeling about this.. It didn't seem like a good idea anymore...

I have to admit this chapter is fairly better than the last books first chapter. I really do have high hopes for this book so bear with me lol

Anyway enjoy the new and improved book! - Dove :)
