Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own Harry Potter or these would be actual stories and not just something that I write in my free time!

Anyway, thanks to PenonPaperFingersonKeys for this challenge!

Narcissa Black pushed her long blonde hair off of her forehead and stared at her wall in frustration. There was a time when all of this would have been avoided, but given the circumstances, this had no option of being avoided. She glared at her wall, threatening it with all of her strength. Silently, of course. If only Bella hadn't been a snoop and hadn't dug through Andy's things. Then they would still be together and everything would be okay.

"I hate you!" she screamed at the wall. Her pretty blue eyes were misty with tears and she pounded through the hard plaster. She pounded again and again, leaving bloody streaks on the white paint and hurting herself more than anything. She was finally spent, her breath leaving her body in heavy pants and her tears chasing each other down her cheeks.

Narcissa looked up at the ceiling and burst into sobs, sinking down onto the floor and covering her head with her arms. Anger more than anything was throwing these emotional rockets at her.

"Are you all right?" Andromeda Black asked, sneaking into her little sisters room and kneeling down to her level.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" Narcissa asked, looking up at her sister with wide eyes. Andromeda smiled and wrapped her sister in her arms. "I-I thought Mum kicked you out."

"She did," Andromeda replied simply. "I had to sneak in to get my things. Where's Bella?"

"Why? She doesn't want to talk to you." Andromeda smiled and nodded, looking around wildly. She finally relaxed and sat down on Narcissa's bed. "Where'd you go?"

"Around. I just kind of walked for a while. You know, trying to figure out if it was worth coming back and telling Mum I was wrong. It wasn't by the way." Narcissa nodded solemnly, running her fingers through her hair. "But don't worry, You're still her favorite. I don't think anything could change -" Andromeda stopped abruptly and got off of the bed."

Narcissa wheeled around and saw Bellatrix in all her angry glory. Bellatrix walked into the room, her black eyes hungry for Andromeda's pain. Andromeda whimpered quietly and fell back onto the bed. "Throw her out or I'll do it myself," Bellatrix growled, glaring at her once-best friend.

"No," Narcissa said firmly, placing her arms on either side of the dorm frame.

"What did you say?" Bellatrix asked angrily. "I'm coming in to get her!"

"Don't you dare!" Narcissa reached her pale hand forward and slapped Bellatrix soundly across her cheek. Bellatrix looked at Narcissa in utter surprise. "You will not touch her!"

"You have just made your life a living hell!" Bellatrix screamed at Andromeda as she rushed down the stairs. Narcissa looked back at her sister only to find her sobbing on the bed.

"Andy. She can't touch you now," Narcissa cooed, sitting down next to her and wrapping her arms around her sisters frail body. "She's gone. And you'll be safe and gone and you won't have to worry about her anymore. All right?" Andromeda nodded silently and looked at her sister with red-rimmed eyes.

"I have to go," Andromeda said quickly, getting up and silently crossing over to the door. "Don't forget me Cissy. Promise you won't forget me." Narcissa nodded as Andromeda walked the all too familiar path to her bedroom. She sighed and looked over at the fresh bloodstains on her wall. Unfortunately, her mother wouldn't mind too much that her favorite daughter ruined her room.
