Looking for a FanFiction on ao3 please help
I'm looking for an old FanFiction I remember reading that I desperately want to reread. I only remember one scene one only one conversation.
Harry, Draco, Neville, and Narcissa feature in this conversation. Draco has some spoiled confrontation with both Harry and Neville and then goes home for the holidays and gets to talking with his mother. Draco says something childish, ignorant, and stereotypically 'Malfoy' forcing Narcissa to correct Draco.
During lull in Draco's rant Narcissa interrupts Draco and asks him a seemingly innocuous question about the Malfoy family motto which in this story is, 'Pride in Our Line'. To which Draco proudly and confidently states.
Narcissa jumps on that topic quickly not missing an opportunity to instil some counter indoctrination to Lucius' dumb, sleazy, malfoyness. I remember the how the author described the scene quite clearly. It said that Narcissa briefly gave in to the ever constant 'Black Madness' and gained an almost zealous look in her eye as she told Draco he was also half black and that their family motto was Toujours' Pur which meant always pure. Narcissa than snaps out of her brief bout of black madness and explains her interpretation of the meaning 'Always Pure'.
At this point in the conversation about family history and values Draco suddenly becomes curious and asks about the Longbottom family motto as he has a childish political spat with Harry and Neville in which he was surprised when Shy, Easily Bullied 'Squib' Neville stood up to him with surprising firmness and outwitted him with simple logic. Draco gets the hint that he was being childish and simple humphs and walks away the sore loser of that tiff.
Narcissa then replies thoughtfully about her sons curiousness that the Longbottom family motto was 'Grow Together, Never Yield'. She then says something almost fondly but definitely firmly respectful about Frank and Alice Longbottom and about how their minds broke so utterly and completely under Bellatrix's cruciatus curse rather than yield valuable information about the war. She then says something along the lines of if Neville is even half the man Frank was that he will be a strong and powerful lord one day.
Draco goes quite seemingly thoughtful learning some respect for a boy he so easily looked down on before for an awkward moment and then asks what about the potters.
Narcissa chuckles a bit and simple says, "I've never quite understood that one. However, the Potters teach their sons to, 'Embrace the End'... Whatever that means..."
The author then infers that this was not originally the Potter family motto but was adopted in the early thirteenth century. Which the reader can immediately infer is when Hardwin and Iolanthe Potter (neé Peverell) got married and the cloak became a Potter family heirloom and Hardwin, out of great respect for his wise grandfather-in-law changed the motto to honour him and his important life lessons. The previous Potter family motto was not mentioned.
The only other things I can remember was that it was AU. It was Harry Centric. It was in their first year that this happened. and of course the mottos themselves which I'm 99% sure I'm quoting verbatim. Oh and it was most likely on Ao3 and if its not them most definitely FFN because those are the only two sites I use.
Malfoy: Pride in Our Line
Black: Toujours' Pur
Longbottom: Grow Together, Never Yield
Potter: Embrace the End
If you can help me find this fic based on how very little I can remember please drop the link. I'm on a binge and can get this fic out of my head. Thanks.
