Third year for Draco
Mummy and Daddy are watching, darling
Narcissa goes about her day
as any
o.t.h.e.r
Then it happens
Life is riled up
Her son has been…
hurt
##########
It was a damned hippogriff
Raised by that damned half-breed
Lucius will see to it
That mangy bird doesn't have
LONG
Lucius will see to it
He always does
##########
Money can't buy
everything
They've tried to use money too often
They've done it one time
too many
Narcissa will have to do some
t~h~i~n~k~i~n~g
for once
&& she has the most brilliant idea
##########
She's heard of him
Hasn't really seen him
Lucius barely knows him, too
Walden Macnair
Rather haughty, but still
(he's rather good-looking)
Still…
(she won't have to mention that to Lucius)
Still!
(how could she have even thought of this?!)
And yet…
##########
Narcissa b.a.r.t.e.r.s
She requests a trade…
of services
(in a way)
Macnair can't resist
He's a man
He likes…
F_L_E_S_H
If she'll just be his for a little while, the whole case will just
go away
& she hopes he will,
Too
##########
Why should it take almost the whole school year?
Playing at being his maid,
His coddler,
His lover
She really can't stand it anymore.
But he still won't go anywhere near such a
d-a-n-g-e-r-o-u-s
creature
##########
Good Merlin, it's been too long
The end is nigh
She'll be free
freefreefree
Wait!
Wait…
Wait…
She's so thankful for justice to be served, but…
It's come to her attention that he really…
isn't all that devious or dastardly
He possesses emotions
(though they tend to be fueled by actions)
He possesses a brain
(though he doesn't care to use it too often)
He possesses a h—e—a—r—t
(though he's only let it thaw a little under her touch)
Maybe there doesn't have to be an end…
Lucius would never have to know
that it wasn't their money that got the beast's
death warrant signed
&& he would never have to know
that his wife is
a lot more
C*U*N*N*I*N*G
than he ever gave her
credit
for

Spanning three pages, I'm impressed with this one. I kinda like writing Narcissa, and it was nice to see her free on her own, as I feel she got little screen time in the books. Hmm, she could've been having an affair with Macnair the whole time of the series… This makes it possible/plausible… B)
Thanks for reading, and please review!
