"Wait for me!" an eight year old Andromeda called out. Her brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail as she followed her 10 year old sister, Bellatrix. Narcissa, only 6, followed along behind. Bellatrix was running, unaware of the ground beneath her feet. She squealed as she tripped over a rock, and landed in a stream. Andromeda went into the stream to help her up. Narcissa looked at them from underneath her long blonde hair. "Are you alright, Bella?" Bellatrix laughed, her wet, black hair whipping around. "Of course Cissa!" Andromeda climbed out. "It's only water." Bellatrix got out. "We should head home."
One year later, the girls all hugged good-bye. Bellatrix sniffled and smiled. "Two years, and then you'll come, Dromeda." Andromeda smiled. "And then little Cissa will come." Narcissa pouted. "But I want to go now!" "You're only 7" scolded their mother. Bellatrix said her last good-bye, and then boarded the train. Bellatrix sat on the stool, and let the dirty hat be placed on her head. "SLYTHERIN!" It exclaimed. Bellatrix smiled triumphantly, and sat down at the table.
Narcissa sighed. She was 9, and still not allowed to go to Hogwarts. "Dromeda and Bella get to go." She complained for the 1,000th time. Andromeda smiled and hugged her. "Two years, Cissa. Two years, I promise." Bellatrix dragged Andromeda on the train, and into an empty compartment. "You'll love Hogwarts! It's amazing and wonderful!" Andromeda smiled. "Yeah, I'm so excited!" Andromeda walked down from the stool and sat at the Slytherin table, next to Bellatrix.
Narcissa wrote letters to her sisters, but it just wasn't the same. She longed to be at Hogwarts with them. They would tell of their adventures there, and of the teachers and classes. Soon, I'll be there with them. We'll be all together again.
Narcissa was nervous on the train there. Her older sisters reassured her that everything will be fine. Narcissa was very envious when Bellatrix and Andromeda had their Slytherin robes, and she just had plain ones. At the Great Hall, Narcissa looked around. She had just been put into Slytherin, and had a sister seated on either side of her. She looked across the table and saw a handsome boy with blonde hair smiling at her. "Who's that?" She whispered to her sisters. "Lucius Malfoy" whispered Bellatrix. "Second year" whispered Andromeda. Narcissa smiled and waved back at Lucius.
