Narcissa this time.
The door to Andromeda's bedroom was flung open by Narcissa. Dromeda closed it with a lazy flick of her wand. The Malfoys must have left. Their mother had sent the "shameful blood traitor", meaning Andromeda, to her room. So the Malfoys wouldn't have to look at her. "Dromeda" Narcissa sat on the window seat next to her sister's feet "I'm going to be married next month" she said excitedly. Dromeda sat up straighter with her back against the wall and her head resting on the cool window pane "Didn't you hear me?" Narcissa asked.
"I heard you Cissy" Andromeda drew her knees up to her chin.
"Then why aren't you happy?" Narcissa demanded.
"I see no reason to be happy" she said coldly, her 18 year old sister looked wounded.
"You're my sister" Narcissa gasped "And if you stopped sulking and smiled every once in a while someone of good blood might marry you"
"Oh yes, I want to be trapped in a loveless marriage just like Bella" Andromeda snapped.
"Just stop Dromeda!" Narcissa half shouted, her 20 year old sister starred at her "Let. Him. Go"
"No, I love him" Andromeda let a single tear fall.
"I know you do" Narcissa said quietly "But you can't have him"
"But he loves me, Narcissa, he loves me. He's the love of my life"
"He's a mudblood" Narcissa pointed out as if that fact would change her sister's mind"
"Why is our love by the blood that makes our hearts beat?" Andromeda seemed to ask herself.
"You disgust me" Narcissa spat "I'm calling Bella!"
10 minutes later Bella's squealing could be heard. Narcissa finally had the reaction she desired from her eldest sister. Andromeda decided to go down but before she could her door was thrown open, almost coming off its hinges, only one person did that. Bellatrix. She came in and fell back onto her sister's bed, like nothing had happened. Like she had never got married. Like she didn't now hate her sister for being in love. Narcissa followed Bella in and sat and the bottom of the bed against the footboard. "So little Cissy's getting married" Bella smiled.
"Yes, I guess she is" Dromeda smiled.
"What about you Dromeda" Bellatrix asked.
"I'm over the mudblood" Andromeda lied. Narcissa gasped and Bellatrix clapped her hands, she jumped up and ran over to Andromeda hugging her and laughing. "Is that my Bella?" their mother asked coming in. She saw Bella, scrutinizing her. Everyone knew she was looking for signs of pregnancy "Mother, today is Cissy's day let's not worry about me" Bellatrix smiled "And Dromeda's over the mudblood and ready to marry"
"Well that is good news" Dromeda's mother smiled.
Andromeda planned her escape carefully. She packed a small handbag with all her possessions with the help of an undetectable extending charm and on the morning of Narcissa's wedding she left her childhood bedroom for the last time leaving a note on the dressing table. Narcissa's wedding ceremony was long and boring but Andromeda spent it dreaming of freedom. As the guests went on to the ball, Andromeda's slipped away.
Please review, I love reviews.
