"Andie!" my younger sister Narcissa yelled on the platform, as I was about to leave Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the final time "Andie! I couldn't find you this morning and and Mother and Father sent me this letter, and I found out I am betrothed to Lucius Malfoy! Lucius Malfoy Andie! Lucius Malfoy!" She had one of he biggest smiles on her face I had ever scene.
"Cissy, you mustn't yell like that. It is rude."
"But Andie! I am betrothed to Lucius-"
"Shut it Cissy nobody cares."
"Well I thought you would." Narcissa pouted. That wonderful smile was already gone.
"Cissy, you shouldn't pout."
"You are starting to sound more and more like Mother."
The loud whistle stopped our conversation abruptly. I walked through a cloud of steam as I made my way up to the first car in the train, the prefect car.
It was the last time I would be standing up there, instructing prefects as head girl. When I entered the car my eyes immediately found the Head Boy. He was already there before me, which was rare.
"Hello…Mudblood" I sneered. I felt this stabbing feeling in my gut. How I hated that word.
"Greetings to you too… Black." The Head Boy Replied " Ok Everyone!" His tone instantly changed "Great Year! I hope you all have a great holiday and that the rest of your time at Hogwarts is grand…uhhh… Yeah!"
"Thank You for letting us be your leaders. Te-Tonks and I had a wonderful experience. Once again have a great holiday. You are dismissed." I concluded. Soon all of the prefects left to go be with their friends to spend the last few hours they had before the 2-month holiday. Now it was just Ted and I.
"Ted I'm so sorry for calling you a mudblood. It is just that-" I was cut of by a peck on the lips.
"Dromeda, I understand. Slytherin has prefects too."
"Ted, I am s-scared." I felt my whole body shake and tears form in the corner of my eyes. Was I really ready to do this? I stared into Ted's Light brown eyes. Yes. I knew what I was going to do.
"Don't be Dromeda. But if you really want to back out-"
"No Ted, I want to be happy for the rest of my life. No to be sitting there in misery with someone I don't truly love. Everything was planned out for me from birth. I would be raised to be a proper society lady, go to Hogwarts, become a Slytherin and make fun of Muggle-Borns and Blood- Traitors, then get married to a "respectable" pure-blood man, produce a heir, raise that heir to become a proper pure-blood society man or women, then sit their and gossip about every-"
"I get it love. Then you will sit there and die. I know. I'm just making sure because once you go into this you can never back out."
"Don't worry. I'm sure." I smiled. The rest of the train ride was spent taking about what we were going to do after we arrived at kings cross. Ted and I both agreed that it was reasonable to go strait to Ted's Parents house. We also agreed that at some point over the summer that we wanted to get married.
As the train pulled into platform 9 ¾, I started to feel my heart rate go up. I could hear the constant pounding in my head getting louder and louder each time I took a step closer to the platform. Ted and I got off the train, hand in hand. I looked over to see Cissy, mouth slightly open, face paled. I could see the tears forming in the corner of her eyes, knowing that if she cried, our parents would scold her for showing weakness in public. I didn't turn back to see what would happen next. I was a coward.
The next morning at Ted's parents house I got three letters. The first one was from my parents saying that I was officially disowned. The second was from Bella saying how Aunt Wallburga let her burn my name off the family tapestry and how she enjoyed it. The last was the most painful. All it said was How Could You. I knew exactly whom it was from. Even through the tear stained paper, the neat cursive was recognizable. It was Narcissa's. New droplets of water landed on the page. I had officially lost some of the most important in my life. My Sisters.
