Chapter 1- Spellorecorder

Black Residence, Summer 1959

Bellatrix Black scowled. She had searched far and wide for that traitor. How could she possibly catch Andromeda and punish her for stealing her cloak again!? Bellatrix twirled a strand of her pretty long black her around her index finger.

"Come out, sister dear," She called, sweetly.

Too sweetly.

Her dark eyes moved around the room, searching for any sign of her little sister...

She grinned impishly, the closet door was unlocked, and she'd locked it that morning.

"Oh, where could Dromeda be?" Bellatrix commented as a way to confuse her sister," Prehaps she went...to the drawing room?" As quiet as a cat, Bellatrix tip-toed to the left side of the closet door...

Bella could hear Dromeda shuffling about in the cramped broom closet.

One...

Two...

Three.

Bellatrix yanked the door open, nearly pulling it off its hinges.

Andromeda Black screamed.

"Come on, don't act like a mud-blood! Take it like a Black!" Bella said gruffly, pulling Dromeda out of the closet.

"Bella-please don't hurt me. Mother fixed you cloak, it's as good as new! And Father said he'd take us to Wizarding Theatre later!" Andromeda continued to ramble.

Bellatrix held her younger sister an arms legnth away, and looked down at her. Andromeda looked a lot like her older sister, but her hair and eyes were both light shades of brown, thus her looks were not quite as dark.

"Why did you steal my cloak, Dromeda?"

Andromeda shrugged.

Bellatrix shook her," Tell me, I am the eldest, I have senoirity!" Bellatrix screeched.

Andromeda winced, she hated when Bella flaunted that fact in her face," ...I wanted to wear it 'cos Grandfather Pollux was talking about how stunning it looked on you, and I wanted someone to tell me that I looked pretty too."

Bella smirked, she loved feeling better than her sisters...a giggle sounded from the other side of the room.

Both Bella and Dromeda turned to see the youngest Black, Narcissa holding a Hallibrooke Spellorecorder( old version of a muggle cam corder).

Bella was furious," Narcissa Druella Black, erase that recording now!"

Narcissa shook her head, blonde curls bouncing, and giggled again.

Bella and Dromeda shared a look, and then without warning both launched themselves toward Cissy.

Narcissa shrieked shrilly as Bella tore the Spellorecorder from her hands.

"How the heck do you turn this thing off?" She said peering into the little magic camera.

Dromeda took it from Bella's hands, and pressed a button on the side.

Bella glared," I knew that."

"Sure..."Cissy chuckled, and suprisingly both of the others joined in.

"CHILDREN!" Druella Black, their mother, called," Get down here now."

"WHY?" Bella snapped back, annoyed.

"Your aunt has given birth to your new cousin. We're going to St. Mungo's to visit!"

The sisters sighed at the same time," I hate Aunt Walburga," Andromeda muttered.

"We all do," Bella said darkly, as they left...about to meet their cousin Sirius Black for the first time.
