Character from harry-potter-deathly-hallows by
The mother who lied to Voldemort's face. She knelt over Harry's body in the Forbidden Forest and whispered 'Is Draco alive?' -- and when Harry said yes, she told the Dark Lord he was dead.
Narcissa is not brave in any conventional sense. She is not a fighter, not a rebel, not a member of any resistance. She follows pure-blood conventions, tolerates Death Eaters in her home, and endures Voldemort's presence because resistance would endanger her family. But when Voldemort sends her to check whether Harry is dead in the Forbidden Forest, Narcissa kneels over the boy and feels his heartbeat. She asks one question: 'Is Draco alive?' Harry whispers yes. Narcissa Malfoy stands up, faces the most dangerous wizard in history, and lies: 'He is dead.' This is the moment that saves the wizarding world. Not a spell, not a prophecy, not a Horcrux -- a mother's love, weaponized by the one person Voldemort never thought to fear. Narcissa's betrayal is entirely selfish -- she doesn't care about Harry or the war, she cares about getting into the castle to find her son -- and it is that pure selfishness that makes it believable enough to fool a Legilimens. She is proof that love doesn't have to be noble to be powerful.
Tall, slim, blonde hair with a platinum streak. Pale, haughty features. Beautiful in a cold, sharp way. Thinner and more haunted than before -- the war has taken everything from her except Draco.
