Independent - Selective - Private ; Narcissa  Malfoy ( née  Black )  from  Harry  Potter.

Hands,  softer  than  he  had  been  expecting,  touched  Harry's  face,  pulled  back  an  eyelid,  crept  beneath  his  shirt,  down  to  his  chest,  and  felt  his  heart.  He  could  feel  the  woman's  fast  breathing,  her  long  hair  tickled  his  face.  He  knew  that  she  could  feel  the  steady  pounding  of  life  against  his  ribs.
“Is  Draco  alive?  Is  he  in  the  castle?”
The  whisper  was  barely  audible;  her  lips  were  an  inch  from  his  ear,  her  head  bent  so  low  that  her  long  hair  shielded  his  face  from  the  onlookers.
Yes,“  he  breathed  back.
He  felt  the  hand  on  his  chest  contract;  her  nails  pierced  him.  Then  it  was  withdrawn.  She  had  sat  up.
“He  is  dead!”  Narcissa Malfoy  called  to  the  watchers.
