Chapter Two
As the owl flew through the open drawing room window of Black Manor, the Hogwarts emblem caught the sunlight and reflected it onto the ornate mirror above the mantle. This caught the eyes of each of the five people sitting around the fireplace. Cygnus recovered the letter from the owl's leg, then shooed it back through the open window. The woman sitting in the chair beside him then took the letter from his hand and admired the red seal on the envelope, then throwing it down onto the small coffee table, towards the three girls sitting on the other side of it. While Andromeda reached for the envelope to admire the seal, her straight black hair obscuring the letter, Bellatrix reached for her baby sister, to whom the letter was adressed, and enveloped her in an embrace, her wild black curls mingling with the golden blonde waves of her sister. When they had all calmed down, the youngest girl took the letter in her hands, admiring the seal and the elegant script in which her name was written, before breaking the seal and pulling out the parchment from inside and reading it aloud to her expectant family;
"To Narcissa Cassiopeia Black,
I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Term begins on September 1st and the Hogwarts Express will leave at precisely 11am from Platform 9 3/4. Please find enclosed a list of the things that you will need for the school year and tickets for the Hogwarts Express.
Kind regards,
Professor A. Dippet.
Headmaster."
At the end of the letter, her mother ran to embrace her, as did her sisters, while her father laid a proud arm around her shoulders. It was Bellatrix, her eldest siser at the age of sixteen, that spoke.
"So this is it. My baby sister's going to Hogwarts."
And so she did.
