She had arrived with Alexander Delacour a few weeks after Christmas. The Dark Lord had ordered all Death Eaters to arrive with some of their younger kin. Hermione had dressed in all black Muggle attire. Narcissa had walked out to greet them and had immediately registered the clothing choice as a statement - a challenge. She attempted to rifle through the girl's mind. It was obvious that she and Alexander were not related - Narcissa knew that he had two blonde daughters. Upon attempt, she was pleasantly surprised at the rebuff.
