8:29PM - Cissy and Marlene because someone needs a job!
It was coming up on 4 o'clock, the end of her shift. Truthfully, she didn't mind working; she was surrounded by things she liked, people like her and best of all, she wasn't at home. Not that she didn't like her home, simply it had become a little less cozy than it once had been.
A lot less cozy.
As was customary at the end of her shifts, Narcissa had tidied the displays and polished the pieces until they gleamed.
With waves of her wand, the glass covers began to wash themselves, some of them smudging slightly. She would have to do those over, she knew. And there was nothing she hated more than cleaning glass by hand.
Just as the thought crossed her mind, the door to the shop opened, a woman stepping through. "Good afternoon! Can I help you find anything today?"

1:37PM - Cissa/Loosh with the plotty
When her mother had told her she was losing her husband, Narcissa couldn't imagine what she'd meant. She didn't have a husband - not yet anyway, and there was no way Lucius would leave her. Narcissa had been certain of that. That is, until about twenty minutes ago when someone randomly stopped her as she strode down Diagon Alley on her way home from work to offer her sympathies. That's how Narcissa had then learnt the news.
Against all rules, she barged into the Wizard's Club only to be asked to kindly leave the premises as women were not permitted... Her glare had settled the affair. Walking past disapproving men, she let her instincts guide her to Lucius who sat with a few others.
Looming over him behind his shoulder, her arms crossed on her chest, she offered no warning that she was there before speaking. "I'm barren, am I? Thanks for letting me know! I had no idea."

9:30PM - Cissy/Andy backstory when there is birth
Upon receiving her owl at breakfast, she'd quickly walked up to the Headmaster and presented him with the very short, cryptic letter, asking to be excused from her classes for the day. Professor Dumbledore had granted her permission and, with a short thanks, she'd hurriedly exited the Great Hall. Admittedly, such behaviour was rare and many had gaped, but for once, Narcissa hadn't bothered to notice - and had she noticed, she would hardly have cared.
She arrived at St Mungo's and calmly asked to be directed to the room in which her sister, Andromeda Tonks, could be found. Narcissa smoothed down the front of her robes when she reached the correct floor, having run up the stairs while no one was looking. A Black couldn't appear to be nervous or excited, but that didn't mean they couldn't feel such an emotion.
After knocking, she pushed the door open to reveal her sister, a newborn in her arms and that Muggle leaning over them, smiling broadly. Narcissa stood in the doorway as the man appraised her and gave a short nod before walking in. She couldn't help but smile at the picture her sister and her newborn child painted.
"Hello." She never imagined she might get tearful at such a picture, and yet... "How are you?"
