Forsaken Bloodlines {HP x GOT}

Prologue

The wind howled through the bare branches, a chilling reminder of winter's harsh grip on the land. Snowflakes danced in the moonlight, casting an eerie glow over Malfoy Manor. Inside, the warmth of the hearths did little to comfort Narcissa Malfoy as she readied herself for bed. The manor, usually a fortress of calm and control, seemed unusually restless tonight.

A sharp, unexpected knock echoed through the grand hallways, startling Narcissa. It was late, far too late for visitors. She hesitated, her heart pounding as she made her way to the front door. The knock came again, more insistent this time. She reached for her wand, clutching it tightly as she swung the heavy door open.

The icy wind whipped around her, but there was no one in sight. Narcissa frowned, scanning the empty grounds. Just as she was about to close the door, a faint whimper caught her attention. She looked down and gasped. At her feet was a small basket, swaddled in heavy furs. Inside, a baby girl with striking white hair and vivid purple eyes peered up at her, innocent and curious.

Narcissa's breath caught in her throat. She bent down, gently lifting the basket and cradling the baby. The girl's tiny fingers grasped at the air, and Narcissa felt an unexpected warmth bloom in her chest. Who would leave a child out in such brutal weather?

Her eyes swept the grounds once more, searching for any sign of the person who had left the baby. Beyond the iron gates of the manor, she glimpsed a tall, slender figure. The woman moved with an ethereal grace, her long hair the color of deep burnished copper flowing behind her. As Narcissa watched, the woman pulled up her hood, obscuring her features, and disappeared into the night.

Narcissa stood there for a moment, the baby secure in her arms, the questions swirling in her mind. Who was this mysterious woman? Why had she left the child here, at Malfoy Manor of all places? And what did this mean for her family?

Closing the door against the cold, Narcissa carried the baby inside, her mind racing. She had no answers yet, but she knew one thing for certain: this child, abandoned on their doorstep on this frigid night, was destined to change their lives forever. As she looked into the baby's eyes, so unusual and captivating, she felt a surge of protectiveness and resolve.

Whatever challenges lay ahead, Narcissa knew she would face them. This baby, so mysteriously delivered to their home, was now a part of their world. And she would do everything in her power to uncover the secrets that lay behind those purple eyes and to keep the child safe.
