Voldemort sat at the head of the grand and ornate table at the center of the mansion’s dining hall. Servants scurried about, bringing him food and drink. Narcissa felt a roil of emotions as she took the seat next to the Dark Lord. Something within her stirred every time he would look at her, but she felt ashamed that she had ever fought against him as that buffoon, Potter.
