A/N: I apologize, I accidentally deleted this whole collection because I was too stupid to read some text when I tried to delete a single chapter so it could be moved to it's own story...now all the chapters are back up again, but are likely not in the same order (but do have the same chapter names)
sorry to anyone who had the original version favorited or followed...
Narcissa, Andromeda, and Bellatrix were very close growing up. Andromeda's more relaxed nature allowed her to keep Bella's more violent and dangerous tendencies in check with Narcissa's personality falling between theirs.
when Dromeda bravely announced to her beloved sisters she was in love with a muggle man named Ted and they were to be married, her heart broke when Bella denounced her right there and then, turning her back on her sister forever. Cissy stayed a moment longer, looking at Dromeda in disbelief, before she too abandoned her sister and followed Bellatrix out the door. Soon after Bellatrix joined the Death Eaters and began lashing out as she never had before, since Dromeda wasn't there to stop her, and Narcissa was unwilling.
Narcissa often wondered is Bella's surfacing anger had always been present, or if it had truly been due to Bella's new found hatred of the Muggle-born man who stole Andromeda from them...
