Destined ~ Narcissa Black

★ Chapter Eight ★

The whole ride there was peaceful, we talked about how things were going, we laughed and we had a good time. The normally long train ride didn't seem that long as of all the fun we had on the ride.

Soon the train comes to a stop, we were there! All the students get themselves into the carriages and we travel to the castle before us. I loved Hogwarts just not some of the students but it was bearable.

After arriving at the castle, we were greeted by Hagrid who escorted us to the great hall where we go to get our welcomes and to have something to eat.

We all take our seats, I noticed that the whole vibe of the hall was off, there was no joy or anything. Not like normal where there were excited children waiting to be sorted into their houses. I take a look at the long table at the front of the hall where the staff are normally seated, they all looked different. They didn't have their normal smiley happy faces, instead they looked cold as if they had seen a ghost.

Everyone took their seats in silence, I had a feeling they felt the same as I did. We all sit in silence, waiting for our headmaster to make his announcement. He stands on the podium clearing his throat.

"Welcome back children! Now, this terms will be different from all your previous terms.. We have been informed that The Dark Lord is striking this castle VERY soon"

The hall echos with murmurs and whispers.

"There will be mandatory defence classes lead by different members of staff.. I would like to wish a good luck to everybody and do NOT leave castle grounds without a member of staff or a prefect with you"

With that, our food appeared on the tables and we all begin to eat. The defence classes made me feel sick, I wasn't ready to show off my powers but if it meant protecting everyone here I must.. No matter what.

After everyone had eaten it was time to go to our dorm rooms, I walk to the Slytherin common room, meeting Draco on the way. "So, defence classes ey? how do you feel?"

"I don't want to Dray. I'm not ready for this.. Not now" I sigh

"Ren, i know it's hard but at some point your gonna to have to show your true self, you can't live your life hiding" He says as we enter the common rooms.

"I know but what if they think i'm showing off? I can't help that I was born with this much
power!" I whisper shout

"Trust me, you'll get there" Draco says with a small smile.

We say our goodbyes and go to our bedrooms, I put on some pjs and crawl into bed. I lay there looking at the ceiling for a while until i hear a little knock at my window. I frown, getting my wand at the ready.

I open the window and low and behold my lover was there hovering on her broom. My eyes widen and i beckon her to come in.

"Hi darling! Did you miss me?" Narcissa smiles

"You don't even know how much I missed you" I say jumping in her arms

"I can't stay for long.. But I just wanted to come and see if you were okay and that you were settled" She says pecking my cheek

I smile and hold her for a few seconds before putting my lips on hers. It was short and sweet, I didn't mind as long as I had some form of contact with her nothing mattered. It was reassuring to know that she was still there for me and she still wanted me in her life regardless of the distance between us. 

Suddenly I felt small, I could feel my little taking over. I pull my lips away from hers and look up at her with my doe eyes. She knew exactly when I was little. She smiles down at me and carries me over to my bed laying me down gently. 

I felt tired but at the same time I didn't want to sleep while Narcissa was here. I wanted to spend as much time as I could with her before she left. 

"Go to sleep little one" She whispered stroking my hair. 

"N-nu I wan see you" I mutter out.

"Shh I'll come back some other day this week for you love" She answered kissing the top of my head. 

I hope she did, I miss her so much and I didn't want to lose her, she's everything I have and one of the only people in my life who cared. 

With that she walked over to the window, broom in hand and left, the window closing softly behind her and i was left alone again. I turn over facing the other way and closed my eyes. I needed to rest for the upcoming events of this term. I close my eyes and enter a deep sleep, unaware of what's coming to us.. 

A/N: Here's the next chapter! I tried to sneak some little space in as requested by a reader! Can't wait to show y'all the next few ones!
