☮ : Bedroom/house/living quarters headcanon

“Only the best for a Black. My room at home is decorated in shades of white, which I find very soothing, with only the finest linens and furnishings.”

The room at the Black manor is exquisite, with delicate furniture and soft bedding. Narcissa has blankets everywhere, so that when she gets cold, it’s convenient to wrap up in one. There are a number of pillows everywhere as well. Her favorite piece of furniture is the vanity table, small and delicate, with rounded edges and an intricately framed mirror above it.

⊕ : Talents/hobbies headcanon

“Is there anything I’m not talented at? I’m the epitome of a good pureblood girl, and I have any number of things I’m good at. For hobbies, I like shopping best of all.”

Narcissa is an incredibly skilled Quidditch player, but she doesn’t play for the Slytherin team. It’s hardly a lady-like endeavor so despite her love of the game, she keeps to the stands. On holidays at home, she can usually be found on her broomstick in the morning, enjoying the relative freedom.

♤ : Cooking headcanon

“I’m an excellent cook. I spent the summer after my third year studying in France with the best French chefs. I have no real need to cook for myself, of course, but I’m very good.”

That summer was one of Narcissa’s favorite holidays. She found a real talent for cooking and earned praise from everyone who sampled any of her dishes. Though she doesn’t often utilize the talents, occasionally she’ll meander into the kitchen at the Black manor and shoo the house elves away so that she can spend some time alone.

☾ : Sleep headcanon

"I sleep like a baby every night. There’s nothing for me to worry about, is there?”

Narcissa sleeps on her side, with a pillow pulled up against her stomach to create the illusion that she has someone with her. She has nightmares - not enough to disturb anyone around her, just enough to wake her from her sound sleep and leave her restless for an hour or two. If she pretends someone is with her, she can sometimes trick her mind into letting her sleep peacefully.

💕- A memory about their significant other

“How can I possibly pick just one memory of Lucius? He’s been in my life for so long.”

She’s twelve and he’s fifteen. He has OWLS that year, she recalls in retrospect, but she doesn’t know that as a twelve year old, in tears because she simply cannot make sense of the Charms notes that she is desperately attempting to study. He sees her and crosses the common room to take a seat beside her, pointing out what she’s missing and waiting patiently until all of it makes sense.

And she might not like Lucius Malfoy, but she always remembers that moment and has hope for their future.

💔- A memory that leaves them feeling lonely

“I have no reason to be lonely because I’m almost always constantly surrounded by my family.”

She and Sirius sit on the stairs at Grimmauld Place, with her head on his shoulder as he reads The Tales of Beedle the Bard. He pauses when they hear the adult voices getting louder her Rre. Tension causes every muscle in her body to go tight and Sirius wraps an arm around her shoulder protectively so she can relax again.He’s not a sister, of course, but a cousin is almost as good.

She can’t think of that memory anymore, without recalling how he hurt Regulus, and all of that leaves a lonely ache in the pit of her stomach.

💙- A sad memory that makes them cry

“None of your concern, I can assure you.”

death mention tw

It’s the hum of students talking, the way her wand trembles in her hand as she approaches the boggart. The confusion that comes as she observes a body on the floor, after the boggart changes from the vampire it had been, because she doesn’t understand. It makes no sense to see him on the floor, dead, like that.

It’s the realization that the noise she hears is her voice, her screams, as she spins on her heel with none of her usual grace or poise and flees. It’s the sudden pain in her shoulder from a collision with a familiar figure in the hallway. It’s her name called after her, the door slamming as she hurls herself into the first empty classroom, the way the  gasps and sobs shake her whole body and rip out of her chest.

It’s his calm voice cutting through the chatter of her sister’s voices, as he opens the door and joins her under the desk until she stops shaking.

Regulus and Narcissa

Regulus, like her sisters, has always been in Narcissa’s life, but there was something different about him. He became her closest friend, the one she would go to for support if she couldn’t trust even her sisters with a problem. Though she knows they love her, and they would always support her, she had fears that their love was as conditional as their parents’. But Regulus - he was different. And she swore that she would be the same for him, the person who always loved and supported him.

"You can break my soul, take my life away, beat me, hurt me, kill me. But for the love of God, don't touch him."

The Sisters Black

Bellatrix and Andromeda have been in Narcissa’s life for as long as she can remember, looming large in the foreground of her memories and emotions. Though the relationship isn’t as close as is hers with Regulus - he’s her best friend - the sisters are immensely close, and very important to Narcissa. She can’t imagine her life without either of them, and will do what she can to keep them together.

Narcissa Black is an ice princess, always keeping those around her at arms length - that’s how she likes it. However, she also has a very healthy image of herself; she might not be as brave as Andromeda or as ambitious as Bellatrix, but she knows her worth.

It’s all about family, Andromeda —Narcissa took a deep breath before she continued. Although Andy was considered as a traitor by their family, she wanted to make her understand—. You’re my family, the same as Bellatrix is my sister too. And Lucius. And I won’t betray them.
