Just exploring the Black sister's again.

Andromeda watched her sister, Bellatrix, dance with her new husband. Bellatrix was only 21 years old but this marriage had been arranged for 11 years. She had married another wealthy pure blood who she hated but duty came first. Soon she would have pure blooded children.

Andromeda sighed, she was only 19 but life seemed bleak; forbidden to marry the man she loved and was kept like a prisoner by her own family in her own house with her younger sister Narcissa. Narcissa was currently dancing with her fiancée Lucius, she was only 17. "Why does she keep looking around?" asked a voice. Andromeda looked around it was her 13 year old cousin, Sirius, her favourite family member. He was already as tall as her and had inherited the good looks of all Black family members. "Who?" Andromeda asked him.

"Bella" Sirius said looking towards Bellatrix. Dromeda could see her sister scanning the ballroom "She's looking for the Dark Lord" Andromeda told Sirius simply "She wants him to see her"

"Is he here?" Sirius asked looking around.

"No" Andromeda smirked for a split second "But he blessed the marriage"

"Your mother must be proud" Sirius sneered.

"She's over the moon" Dromeda said sourly "Bella's the Dark Lord's favourite and marrying into the inner the circle. Narcissa engaged to a Malfoy. I'm her only reason to be unhappy; I'm in love with a Mudblood and I'm no better than a blood traitor"

"You should marry him, Dromeda, show them" Sirius suggested.

"My mother would disown me"

"I'd love to be disowned" Sirius grinned. Andromeda laughed at her young cousin, she really loved him. "Spoken like a true Gryffindor" she smiled. Sirius smoothed his black hair back proudly.

Narcissa came hurrying over with Lucius Malfoy "Lucius meet my sister Andromeda" Narcissa hung on Lucius' arm, wearing a slytherin green bridesmaid's dress, the twin of the dress Andromeda was wearing. "Nice to meet you" Lucius said stiffly.

"And you" Andromeda nodded.

"Show her" Narcissa urged. Lucius smirked and pulled up the sleeve of his dress robes. A tattoo of a skull and snake blazed on his forearm. Andromeda and Sirius faked their reactions excitement. "I am the Dark Lord's confidant" Lucius said smoothly. Narcissa smiled widely. The couple moved away "Promise me" Andromeda whispered.

"I promise" Sirius said quietly. They both knew what they were promising without uttering a word. They promised never to join the Dark Lord's army.

Bellatrix worked her way over to Andromeda and Sirius "Dromeda look what the Dark Lord gave me as a wedding gif" Bellatrix excitedly pulling up the white silk wedding dress to reveal a dark mark tattoo. Andromeda looked repulsed and stepped back "Oh Bella" she sighed.

"I'm proud, sister, I am his most loyal servant" Bellatrix looked at Sirius "When will you join us, Sirius?" Bella asked her head high.

"Never" Sirius said strongly.

"You're only a boy, you don't understand" Bella reasoned. Sirius glared at her.
