Narcissa Jupiter Black, born September 28th of 1955, within the walls of Les Saules Manor in Annecy, France born to Monsieur Cygnus Black and his mistress, Ophelia Moreau. Upstairs in the attic, Madame Druella Black née Rosier was slowly dying of a blood curse; she’d been hidden away for months, the public was told she was having a difficult pregnancy, anything to make them think Narcissa was legitimate. Monsieur Black’s older two daughters, Bellatrix Druella Black and Andromeda Walburga Black, were from his wife but when the blood curse took hold he needed to try again to be the one to produce an heir before either of his own siblings; he failed, just as Jupiter was a failed star.
He wrote a letter to his older sister, Lady Walburga Black, wife to their second cousin, stating that his third and final child was a girl; that now it would be her turn to try for an heir. His 38, nearly 39 year old sister, would be tasked with that burden to continue the Black family line where he had failed. When Madame Black died mere months later Monsieur Black transferred from Bureau de Coordination des Affaires Magiques Internationales in France to the Department of Mysteries in Britain, uprooting his family from Les Saules Manor to live at the Grimmauld Place townhouse with Lady Walburga, Lord Orion, and their growing family.
Bellatrix did archery, horseback riding, and duelling club, before she turned to drugs and alcohol that is. Andromeda did speech & debate and mock trial. Everyone had their niches, I was no exception. I joined the student council as soon as I could, I was recently voted to be the President. I got invited into Slug Club in my third year. I am currently a school Prefect and even have an apprenticeship under Madame Pomfrey in the medical wing. No one could ever say I didn’t have the Black family ambition and drive. I strive to be perfect in all I do, I have to be.
My oldest sister, Bellatrix, when the drinking and drugs got bad Father pulled her out of Hogwarts, putting her in Académie de Magie Beauxbâtons, even going so far as to marry her off to Rodolphus LeStrange when the new school didn’t get her under control. Andromeda, she was my sister before she was disowned. She was caught exchanging love letters with a muggleborn, even so bad as she had kissed the boy publicly at Hogsmeade. Father made an example of her, after everything we needed to keep what little reputation we had left after Bellatrix, so he disowned Andromeda and burned her off the family tapestry. Rumor has it she eloped with the muggleborn out in Wales but I don’t really know, we are forbidden to speak of her; that was a year ago now. This year, Sirius (Aunt Wally’s eldest son) joined us at Hogwarts but he was sorted into Gryffindor. Needless to say, he got Howlers from his parents.
