Authors notes: I changed Narcissa's age a bit to make her a contemporary of James instead of a few years older. The suggestion from the recipient of having Narcissa manipulate James a little was perfect. Many many thanks to my amazing beta who I love.
Narcissa narrowed her eyes as she looked through the stands full of possibly every student at Hogwarts. The Quidditch season started with Slytherin versus Gryffindor, a match the whole school would be interested to see. It was a perfect autumn day, but it did nothing to improve her mood.
The day had started out normal enough, until breakfast when Lucius's owl, Caesar, had arrived with a letter for her. The letter sent his usual affections and a few brief notes on how his position with the Malfoy family business was faring. It was all quite normal save for two lines that Narcissa could not keep from running through her mind:
I find myself increasingly in the company of your eldest sister, Bellatrix. She is as dark as you are fair and possibly more wicked than even myself.
Narcissa could feel a snarl growing in her throat as the words echoed repeatedly in her head. She was well aware of the promises and arrangements made between not only Lucius and herself but their respective families as well. Despite those promises she was not so daft as to not be able to recognise that Lucius was a man with needs, and since she was still in school she could not provide for his needs herself. But her own sister? Her own married sister? It made Narcissa's stomach boil so fiercely she could feel the bile climbing into her mouth.
The Gryffindors to Narcissa's left began to cheer wildly as their team walked out onto the pitch. She would never utter the thought out loud but Narcissa fully expected the Gryffindors to win. Potter was too good to truly compete with.
It wasn't enough he was Head Boy, he had to be the school Quidditch star as well. At least he wasn't as insufferable as his little girlfriend. Evans had been a constant thorn in Narcissa's side since the beginning of the school year. They had both been prefects together but now Evans seemed to think that being Head Girl made her queen of every other prefect, even the ones who were the same year as her.
Evans was bossy, a know-it-all, and every professor's pet. Narcissa couldn't stand the sight of her brash red hair and her sun-damaged freckled skin.
The whistle blew and the teams took to the sky. Narcissa shaded her eyes against the sun to more clearly see the players. She saw her two cousins both visible in the air, and on the opposite teams as well. Potter wove his way almost effortlessly towards the Slytherin goals, quaffle in hand.
He looked quite fit on his broom, confident and attractive. For the first time since breakfast Narcissa's stomach settled a bit. Potter suddenly looked appealing to her. She had needs too; Lucius was not the only one who could go around screwing other people. The idea became too much to resist when Narcissa thought of Potter's Muggle prude and how much she loathed her.
It wasn't as if Narcissa had any other choice with the complete lack of suitable males at this school. It wasn't like she could shag her cousin…again. Yes, Potter would do nicely. Despite his poor taste in girls, he was a Pure-blood.
