The Two Witches
"The baby's coming! The baby's coming!" squealed Narcissia as she bounced around the drawing room.
She bounced up to the chair where her older sister watching the moving pictures in her book performing a grand ballet. Bellatrix stared down her long nose at her sister.
"Be quiet Cissy, I'm reading," she said.
"Yes, hush Narcissia, the baby is sleeping," added her Aunt Coredela.
"No! The baby's in Mommy's belly!" she giggled.
"I meant Sirius," she hissed as the girl's younger cousin stated to wail.
As Coredela left to attend to the shrieking infant, Bella stood up and walked over to her sister. She knelt beside her and smoothed out the wrinkles in the younger girl's dress of green satin.
"Tell me a story," begged Narcissia
Bellatrix began "Okay. This story is about..."
"Two witches!" interrupted Narcissia.
"Yes, yes," Bella continued. "There were two witches who were sisters, the big sister was named Bella, and the little sister was named Cissy. Cissy and Bella were best frien-"
The door opened with a bang and their father came inside. His eyes were red and puffy. Aunt Coredela enter the room to see what was the matter.
"Girls, you know I don't like you slamming doors in my house, you should know bet-" she broke off, "Scorpius, is something
"She's gone." he whispered
"Oh no!" gasped Aunt Coredela
"Gone?" squeaked Narcissia "What does gone mean?"
Her father looked her straight in the eyes, "dead."
