—WARNING (?): I have not developed this plot very much so you would have a lot of free rein with it. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing is up to you lol. If you would like help with developing it more, I'm here. I can come up with very detailed character backgrounds, I just didn't for this plot because I realized I would never write this before I got to that.

━━━━BASICALLY:
Personally I see like a prologue starting when right before Narcissa goes into her seventh year at Hogwarts and she goes into this flower shop because the flowers are really pretty. In there she meets Elaine who is working/running the shop for her elderly grandma/grandpa/father/aunt. Then forward to like a year later and Narcissa goes back into the flower shop because she remembered the cute girl and she just found out that her parents want her to marry Lucius Malfoy. She should begin secretly seeing Elaine a little after. She should be trying to balance managing her family's expectations, post-Hogwarts career, courting Lucius.

━━━━ DETAIL ONE:
Elaine can either be a muggle, squib or a homeschooled witch, she did not go to Hogwarts. If you choose her to be a witch, you'll need to develop a little bit more about how she learned magic. And she should not be a pureblooded witch! Obviously If you choose witch/squib the flower shop should magical and if you choose muggle/squib it should be non-magical. I kinda like the idea of squib because then she already has prior knowledge of magic but up to you!

━━━━DETAIL TWO:
Narcissa's family should be mentioned/play a role. Especially with all of the drama surrounding Bellatrix and Andromeda (my personal headcanon is that they're twins and that makes the tensions between them very interesting). And how that plays out throughout the story.

━━━━ DETAIL THREE:
It's called the Language of Flowers so the actual language of flowers must play a role. I'll link the resource I was using in the comments and I can also send it to you if you end up receiving the plot! I totally imagined them sending each other bouquets and like that's their little "secret" language.

━━━━ DETAIL FOUR:
On Narcissa's post-Hogwarts career, I don't really know why but I actually wrote up my version of Narcissa's NEWT scores. According to those she could be pursuing interests in potions or transfiguration. However, this is up to you and if you want I can send what I have written for that.

━━━━ DETAIL FIVE:
Whether this ends with them living happily ever after or with Narcissa marrying Lucius is up to you. The lesbian in me wants the cutesy gay ending but the evil writer in me wants the sad, painful ending. The only requirement is that you cannot kill off either Elaine or Narcissa, we're not here for the bury your gay's trope. Also, whatever the ending, make it fit with how you develop Narcissa's character throughout. Furthermore, the catalyst for her decision should probably be an ultimatum by Elaine who's getting tired of living in secret/Narcissa "courting" Lucius.
