A/N: I do not own Harry Potter. I am merely... borrowing it for a while... yeah... I'm "borrowing" it...

Learning what happened: The Fate of a Black

Chapter One: Revelations

Andromeda –

There is something you need to know. Meet me at three o'clock at Grimmauld.

- Harry

Mrs. Malfoy –

There is something you need to know. Meet me at three o'clock at Number 12, Grimmauld Place.

- Harry Potter

Narcissa Malfoy walked towards the house she had not seen in years, wondering what on earth it was that Potter wanted to her to know. As she got closer she recognized someone, but it was not Potter. It was Andromeda. Andromeda, her sister, disowned for marrying a muggleborn. "Andy? What are doing here?"

Andromeda turned around. "Cissy? Harry told me that there was something I needed to know, and to meet him here at three. What are you doing here?"

"Potter sent me an owl that said much the same thing. Since it is the both of us, it must have something to do with a family member. I… I heard about your daughter, and I am sorry. I know I would be lost if something happened to Draco."

"Thank you, Cissy. It… it is good to see you again."

"Oh good, you are both here, shall we go inside?" Harry had come over unnoticed.

Once they were inside, Harry handed Andromeda a piece of paper. "Do you recognize this handwriting, Andromeda? Mrs. Malfoy?"

"Cissy, I think this is Reggie's handwriting! It says

'To the Dark Lord –

I know I will be dead long before you read this, but I want you to know it was I who discovered your secret.

I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hopes that when you finally meet your match, you will be mortal once more.

- R.A.B'"

"Potter, the Dark Lord had a Horcrux?"

"Actually, Mrs. Malfoy –"

"Call me Narcissa, Mr. Potter"

"- Narcissa, he had seven."

Andromeda and Narcissa both looked sick.

"Seven horcruxes?

"Yes, Seven. The first one was the Diary that Lucius Malfoy gave to Ginny Weasley in my second year, although he did not know it was a Horcrux. The second one was a ring that had belonged to his grandfather, Marvolo Gaunt. The third was a locket that belonged to Slytherin, that is the one Regulus is referring to in his note. The forth was a cup that had belonged to Hufflepuff. The fifth was Ravenclaw's Lost Diadem. Voldemort's snake, Nagini, was a Horcrux as well."

"And the seventh one?" Inquired Andromeda

"The seventh one… the seventh one was me."

"Well, that certainly explains what happened in the forest."

"It does indeed, Cissy"

"I just thought you deserved to know that, despite the reputation of your family, all but one of your generation of Blacks helped to take down Voldemort in some way or another, and that you also deserved to know what happened to your cousin."

"Thank you, Potter, this means a lot to me."

"It was my pleasure, Narcissa. You can stay and look around for a while if you would like, I know you must have some childhood memories of this place. That goes for you as well, Andromeda."

A/N: This plot bunny has been bugging me for weeks, so I am finally writing it down. The reason Narcissa is having Harry call her Narcissa, but still calling him Potter is that she feels like by having Harry call her Mrs. Malfoy, she is putting herself above her sister, who Harry calls by her given name, but she is not comfortable enough with him to call him Harry. Just thought I would clear that up. R&R people! I will likely continue this with a conversation between Narcissa and Andromeda about what Harry has told them.
