That's standard. Now, I have a little theory of my own, what if she knew that Voldemort would lose, so she assisted Harry to get to her family's safety. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account?
By , Malfoy Manor was being used as a headquarters for Voldemort. A meeting of Lord Voldemort's inner circle was held there, and the murder of Charity Burbage took place in the drawing room. The Malfoys were extremely uncomfortable with the arrangements, despite their claims that nothing would please them more than to host the Dark Lord.
After Lord Voldemort asked for a borrowed wand, Narcissa coaxed her husband into agreeing to give his wand to Voldemort; it was soon broken in the Battle of the Seven Potters. Voldemort was still displeased with the Malfoys for Lucius's earlier failures and delighted in humiliating them by taunting their relation to werewolf Remus Lupin through Narcissa's niece, Nymphadora Tonks. Narcissa acted coldly and disdainfully towards Scabior but let them in, where she called on her son to identify the prisoners and recognised Hermione from their encounter a year earlier in Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions.
Narcissa clashed with her sister over who had authority in her home, and therefore over the prisoners held in her cellar: Harry, Ron, Dean Thomas , Griphook , Garrick Ollivander , and Luna Lovegood , the latter two of which had been held there for some time. All the prisoners escaped: Dean, Luna and Ollivander Disapparating with Dobby, while Harry and Ron went to save Hermione from Narcissa's sister, Bellatrix, who had used the Cruciatus Curse to brutally torture her with.
Later, in the brief duel that followed, Narcissa was shocked to see her family's former house-elf , Dobby , openly defying them. He was eventually murdered by Bellatrix as the group escaped the manor. After Harry and his friends escaped to Shell Cottage , Lord Voldemort severely punished the Malfoy family, but did not act as harsh on Bellatrix. Towards the beginning of the battle, Draco lost his mother's wand in the Room of Requirement , leaving it to be incinerated by Vincent Crabbe 's Fiendfyre.
Voldemort demanded that someone check to see if Harry was, in fact, dead, a deed no one wanted to perform. Perhaps seeing an opportunity to discover her son's current condition, Narcissa volunteered. Seeing that Harry was still alive, she used the opportunity to covertly ask Harry if he knew of Draco's well-being. In a whisper, she asked if Draco was alive. When Harry replied quietly that he was, Narcissa betrayed the Dark Lord and asserted that Harry was dead.
She knew the only way her family would be reunited was as part of Voldemort's conquering army, thus proving she loved her family more than she supported Voldemort. When the battle recommenced, Narcissa and Lucius abandoned the Death Eaters and searched frantically for Draco.
After the battle, the family was reunited in the Great Hall , where they seemed uncomfortable with their predicament, but did not leave. However, as Narcissa betrayed Voldemort and left him, the entire Malfoy family was granted a reprieve and avoided incarceration in Azkaban.
Narcissa Malfoy was described as tall, slim, "nice looking", and very pale, with blue eyes, long blonde hair, and a clear, cold voice. Despite her physical differences to her sisters, Bellatrix and Andromeda, Harry Potter did describe her as resembling Bellatrix somewhat, though Narcissa was as fair as Bellatrix was dark. Narcissa's beauty was somewhat marred by her donning an expression that suggested that she was sniffing dung whenever she was in the company of those she considered her inferiors.
Narcissa on the Black family tree tapestry. Narcissa was a very proud woman who frequently displayed a haughty and disdainful attitude, looking down upon others as she believed strongly in the importance of blood purity and valued her family's wealth. While she treated most people coldly, [30] Narcissa was very loving towards her family as well as devoted to them.
Narcissa had a close relationship with her sister Bellatrix despite their differing temperaments and personality traits. Narcissa and her husband, Lucius Malfoy , were shown to have an affectionate and loving relationship. Narcissa and Lucius both enjoyed being members of the social elite, and loved and spoiled their only child. Unlike Bellatrix, who did not hold love for her husband , Narcissa truly loved Lucius.
Narcissa was very upset when he was briefly imprisoned in Azkaban and became defensive when others mentioned his failures. Much like her husband, Narcissa very much valued the finer things in life. This was a trait somewhat shared by the rest of the family. However, Narcissa took it a step further. She thoroughly enjoyed the status the Malfoys had garnered.
From her huge Manor house, her expensive clothes, and even her prime seats at the Quidditch World Cup, Narcissa gained a lot of pleasure from those luxuries, in comparison to Lucius who gained great pleasure in rubbing it in other people's faces.
Narcissa is a quick thinker and is able to put a plan together that benefits her and her family with impressive alacrity. Her choice to link Snape in the unbreakable vow, for instance, was incredibly strategic, pushing him into a corner. Lying to Voldemort was another example of some quick thinking to secure what she needed long term, and there are plenty of other instances in which Narcissa might have actually been the slyest person in the room! Narcissa's hair subtly changes throughout the film.
While the colors do represent her joint allegiance between the Malfoys and the Blacks, there's also a larger change as her hair gets wilder and darker as the films progress.
This demonstrates her further confusion on who she should be caring for, with the growing black hair significant of the Black family, shunning what Lucius wants and ultimately following her own path away from Lord Voldemort. Though her husband was a loyal Death Eater held in high regard by the Dark Lord himself, his wife Narcissa never officially became one.
She did, however, share his elitist views of wizarding supremacy and the importance of blood purity. We see her supporting her husband and playing host to the Death Eater meetings that take place in Malfoy Manor in the final book, yet you can rest assured that Narcissa was never beneath one of those dark hoods. This much has been confirmed by J. Rowling herself. Many of you already know that Narcissa is the sister to Bellatrix Lestrange, even those of us who've only seen the movies.
However, she's also the sister of Andromeda Tonks, who is the mother of a prominent side character in the seventh book - Nymphadora Tonks. However, Narcissa being a strong supporter of pure blood wizards, disowned her cousin and looks down upon her because of her affiliation with Remus Lupin, who's a Werewolf. Narcissa is a deeply flawed and prejudiced character who's been on the side of You-Know-Who all the way until the very last book. Be that as it may, she's an incredibly caring and loving mother to her son Draco.
Lying to the Dark Lord at that point seemed the fastest way possible. So she did to ensure she could get to Draco before his affiliation with Voldemort got him killed. Those who have read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, they must have noticed that there were a few lines answering this question, 'why did Narcissa lie to Voldemort about Harry'.
It was, I think, because she knew that Harry and Draco loathed each other right from the beginning, and Harry still told her the truth that her son was alive. She may have done that as a show of gratitude because she was astounded that Harry saved a Death Eater, as Draco was.
Harry could have simply lied that Draco was dead, and V would kill Harry, as Harry had intended. And the story-lines make it somewhat clear that what Dumbledore said Chapter: King's Cross was a little doubted by Harry. Harry could save lives by dying, but there was no guarantee that he could do so by living.
He could at least free families from the constant terror of losing family members by once again giving up his life. So, Narcissa may have done it as a show of gratitude to Harry or to have the chance to return to Hogwarts to find out whether Draco was alive. Harry just survived Avada Kedavra which wasn't supposed to happen. At this point, she started to believe that the prophecy is going to be true. Then, she asked about Malfoy just to realize Harry was a good guy and she was following the wrong side.
So, she changed side. Let me take your mind back to when Draco was hanging off the edge and was nearly swallowed by the fire his friend created. Who saved him? So, the line Narcissa actually said was "Is he alive, Draco?
In oppose to "Is he alive Draco? Narcissa pronounced him dead so Harry could reawaken afterwards and kill Voldemort. In doing so, Narcissa, Lucius and Draco could go on being a normal family!

I could swear we've gone over this in another question, though it may not have been asking that direcctly. I didn't find one that actually covered it, so it may have been close - or I may not have used the right terms in searches. I looked a bit and didn't see it either. Must have been my psychic powers.
