Questionable - Narcissa Malfoy nee Black

October 1975 - Halloween

Pumpkins floated from the ceiling as the students gathered in the great hall at the house table, waiting for the students form Ilvermory had finally arrived, the following days meant the other houses would be joining the other schools at Hogwarts.

"Oh." Narcissa said as she sat there watching the Ilvermory chosen team, her joy sank quickly there was no way they would beat those players, boys were built like oxs and the girls were obviously from the same mould as she sat there with the rest of the Slytherins at their table.

"Well, we're going to be screwed on Sunday." One of the seventh years said as Narcissa wanted the hide under the table. There was no way in Merlin's name they were going to beat the Ilvermory team now.

"Camille." Lorraine squealed as Narcissa folded her arms and longed to be sitting with someone sane, the two girls next to her. Lucius had smartened up a little as he looked tired as he watched the girls.

Beauxbatons school arrived the same evening; she could see the boys all staring over the girls as she sat at the table. Camille nudged her in the rib almost making her jump a mile. she was still sore from the kick her cousin had given her during another train session.

"What." Narcissa said as she caught sight of Lucius expression as she felt a pang of sadness. She knew now how much his sister wanted to see the other students form the different magical schools.

"Slags." One of the sixth year Slytherin girl called Marnie said as the French school had arrived chosen to sit with the Ravenclaws for the year.

"Jealous Marnie?" One of the seventh years boys retorted as Professor Dumbledore began his welcome speech and the warnings of what was in place for security for all schools. She waited for the plates to return eat and then when there was desert Narcissa, picked a chocolate eclair and avoided the cream horns; she loved those but never dare eat them at a table full of Slytherins especially the boys as they were terribly cruel and mean. She was going to make a trip to the kitchens later as she knew she could get a couple of cream horns for Demelza and her in the dorm.

"You thinking what I'm?" Demelza said with a small smile as she took another eclair and bit into it.

"Do you know how many calories in those?" Camille said as Demelza turned to her.

"I don't need to watch my weight, unlike you thunder thighs." Demelza said rudely as she went back to eating the pastries as Camille turned a shade of red as she stared Demelza.

"You don't be a bitch about it and it's baby fat, you'll see." Camille retorted as she poked the mille fuielle on her plate.

"We'll see won't we." Demelza short back as Narcissa found the millionaire shortbread and grabbed a few pieces to keep for later in the dorm to eat alone.

Narcissa scanned the table as she made a note Lucius and Pandora when were they going home after the death of their sister as she bit her lip hard. She actually wanted to talk to Lucius and she was going send him a letter with her owl.

"Wonder how Lucius is getting on." Narcissa said absentmindedly as she took a bite of the shortbread she was holding in her hand. He had spent most of his time with Pandora,their tiny support bubble.

"He's all you talk about in the last few weeks, got a crush on the Malfoy boy?" Lorraine said with a slight cruel tone in her voice.

"At least I don't lust after that pile of lard over there." Narcissa said as she pointed towards Goyle sitting near the doors to the great hall. They were dismissed for the evening as she walked down to the basement and went to the dorm as she picked her night clothes and towel for a bath.

"Where does that bitch get off?" Camille spat as Narcissa went to the bathroom as Demelza walked into the dormitory as she launched into a major slagging match as the door shut behind her.
It was going to be a very long evening as she returned as they were still fighting as she wandered into the dorm to her bed, only to find Arachne's cat on the bed waiting for her as she pulled her bed covers back as she summoned her thick blanket for her sheets as she pulled out her teddy bear from the behind the bed.
