Narcissus never laughed much it wasn't considered dignified she smiled but it was either crystal cold and the show or something the complete opposite a little warm smile that she tried and usually failed to hide
Lucius loved her smile and took great pride in causing his appearance but accepted that his wife and happiness didn't always go together and for all that they had moments of joy and bliss mirth wasn't quite Narcissa's style
Until Draco was born
The very instant that he gripped her finger looked up at her face and blew a spectacular spit bubble she burst down right into giggling
When at the age of three he suddenly leaped from the top of his bed straight into lucius's arms after not seeing him for a week she laughed aloud and so did Lucius
And when he turned six he was old enough to stand on her feet so she could teach into waltz Lucius watched from the corridor as they slowly swayed and spun and with every trip of Draco small feet they'd both laugh at each other "again" Draco would insist over and over because his mothers laugh was never mocking or cold to him but a warm blessing to top off his charmed life
Draco was nine and safely tucked into bed one night when Lucius swept Narcissa up into his arms and carried her up stairs normally there would be a slight protest or a dry remark of I'm not drunk luci but that night she only chuckled and tucked her face into his shoulder
Happy love ? He asked his heart swelling at the familiar sound
Mhmm she replied with a small laugh lingering in her throat
Truly
Narcissa learned laughter late but she learnt it well
