When Cygnus and Druella Black told their three-year-old daughter Bellatrix she was to have a sibling, they did not get the reaction they were hoping for. Maybe a smile would've been nice, congratulations? But no Bellatrix stormed off to her room with tears in her eyes. Making loud thumps on the stairs and slamming her door. Did they not think she was good enough for them?
"Bellatrix, would you like to meet your baby sister?"
Bellatrix walked in without a care in the world and bent over to look at the baby.
"She's very small."
"Well yes dear, all babies are small. You were too," said Cygnus
"No I wasn't!"
There was a pause in which the baby opened her eyes and made a soft gurgling noise as if she wanted to say something.
"What is her name?" Bellatrix spoke.
Another pause, then Druella said,
"Andromeda, her name is Andromeda."
Two years later a five-year-old Bellatrix found her self staring down at little Narcissa Black lying in her crib. Andromeda was next to her playing with the baby's hair delighted to have a younger sister to look after. Narcissa stared up at them innocently and Bellatrix couldn't help it when her heart warmed to the little girl.
"Bella, Andromeda. Your sister needs to get some rest, leave her now."
As Bellatrix walked away, she couldn't help but feel glad she had two little sisters after all.
