Well, my name is Narcissa Black. Many people call me Cissa. However, my sisters, and only my sisters, can call be Cissy. I’m fifteen years old, and am the youngest in my family. I have two older sisters, the eldest is Bellatrix and the middle is Andromeda. All of us are in Slytherin, no surprise there. I come from the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black, and I have a twelve and three quarters inch, unicorn hair core, vinewood wand.
Interesting. Now, how would you describe your look as?
I may not be as beautiful as my sisters, but I certainly am more beautiful than more than half the witches at this school. In contrast to my siblings’ dark hair, I’ve inherited our mother’s blond hair. Though I also have the trademark Black family eyes, which are a slate, almost stormy, gray color, I find my own have a bit of blue in them. I suppose my eye color would be more blue than grey, but it is still a mix of the two, with blue being the most prominent. I don’t play Quidditch, since it’s such a dangerous sport, but I am able to maintain my lithe and petite figure by doing some casual exercises. I stand at around five feet four inches.
As for my clothing style, I only wear the best. Nothing like the rags on some blood-traitors around here. Filthy and disgusting. I only wear those of the best fabric and tailor. Nothing less. After all, I am Narcissa Black, and I not?
Of course you are. Only the best for the best, right? Now, how about the things you like?
The first thing would have to be my sisters. I loved them. Bellatrix is the epitome of strength and power. Bella can be manipulative and cold, some even think her to be insane, but she’s strong. Powerful. Yes, she had her faults, but Bellatrix is my older sister. I’m proud to have a strong sister like her. Andromeda is the middle sister. If Bellatrix is the epitome of strength and power, then Andromeda is the epitome of elegance and calm. She could walk into a room and everyone would know she’s someone of high class. Though she doesn’t get along with some family, like Bella, Andromeda is my older sister. The other things I like would probably be beauty. All things beautiful, in my eyes that is. I also like flowers, they tend to brighten up a dreary scene. Nature as well. It’s beautiful.
One of the most beautiful things, to me, though would be art. There are so many different types of art, and yet they all are able to express something. A message or an emotion. Beautiful. Though, I am a Black, so I do like being right. I may not be manipulative like Bella may be, but I do like having things go my way. As the baby of the family, it happened quite a bit. I may be a spoiled brat, but I don’t act like one, ok. So get that straight. I like being around people, it makes me feel like I’m a part of something and it’s not lonely. Being with people who are friends or who I know like me makes me feel wanted. It’s a good feeling. I may not be a gossip, but I do like hearing about some things. Drama is amusing to watch, so long as it doesn’t include me or my sisters. Or my cousin Regulus.
Awesome. Now, what about things you can’t stand?
I don’t exactly hate mugglesborns and blood-traitors, but they aren’t my favorite people. I’ve been raised to believe that muggleborns didn’t deserve magic, and blood-traitors were as bad, but I’m not as firm in my beliefs as Bella is. I believe it, but it’s not very strong. Especially with muggleborns like Lily Evans being top of her year. Though I still don’t like them, it’s nothing deep, I suppose. I also don’t like lies. I’m a Slytherin; I can be cunning when I want to. You better believe that I will find out whether or not you are lying. Also, don’t try and play me like a fool. I am not a fool and I will not act like one. I’ll repeat this one more time for your benefit. Do. Not. Play. Me. For. A. Fool. Or it may very well be the last thing you ever do.
I was born to be proper and act like a lady, so I don’t like when people are so…improper. Yes, yes, everyone has their moments, even me; but for it to happen everyday? I think not. To clarify things, by improper, I mean they have no shame, no manners, no politeness. Like they were raised by what? Beasts? It’s sad, really. I’m a proud individual, so insult my pride and I’ll get you back. And because of this, I don’t like when people follow others. I’m far too proud to bow down to anyone, though if I must, then I must. I still don’t like it. I don’t like being insulted, and I don’t take well to it. I may not show my anger, but I have my ways to get you back. Be sure of that. And though I wouldn’t admit it, I don’t like when people yell at me. I’m not used to it, and I don’t like it. So don’t.
Understandable. So, now that we know what you like and what you can’t stand. What we’re wondering now is…any secrets?
Even if I didn’t have any, I wouldn’t certainly be telling you. My secrets are secrets for a reason. But, if I must. Well, I am most definitely not telling you my deepest secrets. If I had to pick one, then it’d probably be that I want to be someone when I graduate. I’m pretty sure I’ll be married off right after I graduate, and I’ll end up being a house witch or something. But I really want to go somewhere, be someone. Do something. I guess, I’ll have to put that on hold, for my family. Anything for my family.
That’s it?…uh, no, it’s perfectly fine! So, how about your strengths and weaknesses. Surely you have some you’d like to share…if you’d like.
My looks would be one of my strengths. So I may be a bit narcissistic, but would you expect anything else? My name is Narcissa after all. But I’m not in love with my own reflection. I know I look good, no need to tell me twice. I am able to disguise my emotions well. I am able to control my emotions. It’s been taught to me by my mother, and I was able to pick up on it just like that. In fact, Andromeda was too, but Bella couldn’t. So, yes. If Bella couldn’t do this, then I find this as a great achievement. So, it’s one of my strengths. Another of my strengths would most likely be my intellect. I may not be the smartest girl around, but I am intelligent in my own right. I’m able to come to conclusions based on my observations. Usually, they are right or on the right track. I’m also fiercely protective of my family. As said before, I’d do anything for them. And I am in Slytherin for a reason. I can be underhanded and very cunning when it suits me. So, don’t underestimate me.
My weaknesses, now why would I tell you that? I don’t want this to be used against me. Remember, I am a Black. Bellatrix and Andromeda are my older sisters. They have plenty of friends too. Don’t forget about my dearest cousin Regulus either. Or my parents. Or aunts and uncles. Basically, don’t go behind my back or find yourself at the mercy of the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black. So, with that said, you better not tell anyone this, but Sirius is one of my weaknesses. He may have been labeled as a disgrace as a blood-traitor, but he is still family. Disowned or not, he is blood. But, I can’t do anything about it, and I’ll repeat this once. Don’t tell anyone about this one. I may not show it, but I scare rather easily. I can somewhat get easily intimidated, but I won’t tell anyone. I may be confident and everything, but I’m afraid of being alone. It’s just…lonely. I don’t like it and I get…well, I feel insecure and worthless when I’m alone. It’s not a good thing for me. So, I usually surround myself with people.
You mean, people like your family? Tell us a bit about them.
Well, my family is, as mentioned before, is the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black. My mother is Druella Black, nee Rosier and my father is Cygnus Black. I have two older sisters, as mentioned beforehand, Bellatrix and Andromeda. My aunt is Walburga Black and my uncle is Orion Black. They have two sons, my cousins, Sirius, the oldest and Regulus, who happens to be in my year. We have plenty of other extended family members, but I don’t mention then to you. I’m the youngest of my immediate family and was born around the same year as Regulus.
Wow, there must be a lot of family history then. So, speaking of family; how would they describe you as?
They probably would call me a ‘perfect pureblood lady’. I suppose cold would be how many would describe me. After all, all the other Black females are cold as well. It’s just a Black trait I suppose. Quiet is another one. Though, not quiet as in I don’t talk quiet, but quiet as in my voice volume. It’s rather soft and light. Beautiful, of course, would describe me. I am a rather proud person, so yes. Proud is in the list as well. Though it may not seem like it, I am a stubborn girl. I’ll admit it. But I’m not hopelessly stubborn. Cunning and ambitious also fit my Slytherin self. Only to family am I loyal, so they’d describe me as that. However, to anyone else, maybe they wouldn’t say I’m loyal. But I am, only to family. I’m proper. I was raised that way, and thus the reason why I don’t like improperness. Though I may be rather cold and proper, I think they find me as fragile. Delicate. Perhaps I am. I am certainly not as strong as Bellatrix, or as silently independent as Andromeda. So, perhaps I am the delicate and fragile one. I suppose that may be why I am so easily intimidated. Unless, of course, it involves family. I’ve said it before, I am fiercely protective of my family.
Really now? No, no, I mean nothing by it! It‘s just interesting is all. Ahem, well, how about your history. Surely there‘s something to tell us here.
I was born near the end of August, on the 29, to Cygnus and Druella Black. I was the youngest born to this Black family. I suppose they were hoping for a boy, you know, to carry on the family name. Even with that, my mother, Druella Black nee Rosier, loved raising three daughters. My father is quite protective as well, as all fathers should be. My eldest sister is Bellatrix Black. She is two years older than me and one year older than my other sister, Andromeda Black. Andromeda is the same age as one of my cousins, who is considered something of a disgrace to our family name. My other cousin, Sirius’ younger brother, Regulus, is in my year at Hogwarts. But I’ve already spoken about that. We had plenty of play dates together as kids, because my father and their mother, Walburga, were siblings after all. It wasn’t unusual for them to get together and have a little talk or something. Being the caring person that I am - only to family, no exceptions…well, except for my love which I haven’t found yet. But no other exceptions - I grew rather attached to them.
My parents were always enforcing the pureblood ways on us. We were taught to act like the purebloods we are and that muggleborns and blood-traitors were less than us. Almost as if they were a lower species of wizards. My sisters and I basically attended lessons with our mother on the ways to act like a pureblood. Aunt Walburga joined us once in a while. These were the lessons I mentioned earlier, the ones about masking your expressions. This was probably the first time that I’ve felt accomplished and proud of myself. You see, I grew up with two older sisters that seemed larger than life to me. I know better now, but I still love them all the same. I just don’t worship them…not that I ever did. You get the point, don’t you.
Well, after that, was a relatively normal household. Except for the times where one of us would do something wrong, but we were relatively good children. At least, we got away with more things than normal. Bellatrix was the most disobedient of the three of us. Andromeda was the quietest, I think. I mean, she didn’t really draw attention to herself. Me? I guess I’m the most…obedient? Lady-like? I wish it were beautiful, but it’s not. However, I am proud that my sisters are both quite beautiful. As if I would ever be a sibling to someone so…unattractive. I think together, the three of us would constitute a majority of the beauty found in Hogwarts, in all seven years. So, I suppose I was the most like a pureblood lady; delicate, soft, and fragile. Not to mention beautiful.
When Bellatrix first left for Hogwarts it was just me and Andromeda. I felt rather lonely without my eldest sister around, but I was rather glad Andromeda was around. I spent most of my time with her or mother. When we got news that Bellatrix was in Slytherin, we basically celebrated. Not the cheering and festivities most families do, but we did celebrate. By a small smile here, a nod there, and a praise there. That was how the Black family celebrated. I wanted so badly to join Hogwarts when Andromeda left. I was all alone and oh so very lonely. It was the first time I’ve felt so alone in such a while. Suffice to say, it frightened me and I never looked forward to being alone. Andromeda was sorted into Slytherin too, and I knew I just had to be placed in Slytherin house along with my sisters.
When I got my Hogwarts letter, I was so excited and ecstatic. I finally got to go to school with Bellatrix and Andromeda. Sirius and Regulus too, though I had heard of Sirius getting sorted into Gryffindor of all places. The disappointment in my family was enough to ensure I wouldn’t deviate from Slytherin one bit. When the hat was placed upon my head, it shouted “Slytherin!” Before Professor McGonagall could even move her hand away. The cheers from the table and the pride I knew would be in my family because of my sorting was enough to make me smile and relax during the dinner.
In my first year at Hogwarts, I was a rather social girl, though I didn’t talk when it was unnecessary. So, I had already made quite a few friends. I stuck with my sisters once in a while, but managed to deviate well enough on my own. So, I guess I have two separate groups of friends. The ones from my year that I made on my own and a few other years and houses and the ones that I met through my siblings. I spent my time split between them until I began to deviate on my own and lead my own clique, persay.
The next few years were relatively normal. Except for the fact that Sirius began to drift away and I couldn‘t do anything for my cousin. Gryffindor or not, disgrace or not, he was still blood. In fact, it hurt me to see our family turn from him. But it couldn’t be helped. Regulus, who was also sorted into Slytherin, I was especially worried about. After all, Sirius was his brother. However, that passed by soon enough. Well, the brunt of it did. Now, every time one of us runs into Sirius, there may as well be a duel.
Now, in my fifth year at fifteen years young, I still have a long ways to go. Bellatrix is graduating this year, and soon to be married off. To who? It’s still discussed. Andromeda is going to graduate next year, and I’ll be all alone again at Hogwarts, with only Regulus as real company. Sure, I like my friends well enough, but family always comes first. I suppose after deciding on Bellatrix’s intended, my parents are going to focus on Andromeda and then on my own. I haven’t the slightest clue who they even have planned for me, and I’m not sure I’ll be ready to know until seventh year.
