AN: I own absolutely nothing. JKR owns everything HP related.

I have decided to write a series of drabbles from the minds of some of the characters during the war. If you have any requests just leave the character name in a review.

Narcissa (During the Second War) circa 1994

Time seemed to stand still as she gazed lovingly at the old photographs of her family. They were taken years ago before the disputes and unfortunate event that occurred. She watched as her sisters smiled and laughed, her cousins' eyes gleamed with mischief, and her own eyes sparkled with love and ambition. Those moments were no longer had; the pictures were the only documentation that they had ever happened. Her cousins were dead, her oldest sister was deranged, and her beloved other sister had long been forgotten. She wished for her entire family to be together once again, for the war to be at an end, and for her own son to never know the hatred that had been the downfall of her own family. Deep within her being, she knew that all of her heartaches and tragedies could have been prevented if this outrageous cause never existed. There were days when she wished that she could have had the same strength that her sister had when she ran away. If she could've known that her life would come to this, she would've have left her home alongside her sister. It was then that she knew if she could ever leave, there would be no return.
