"Why did your sister look scared of me?" asked Draco as he looked at his cousin.
"Well, she is scared of guys for some reason… I don't know why." Said Chris as they continued playing Skyrim, Draco liked this game though it was for muggles.
"Hmm…" he said.
"BOYS! DINNER!" yelled Angelica and they boys paused their game and ran down stairs. They didn't see Cassiopeia.
"Where's Cassiopeia?" asked Chris.
"Where ever your sister runs off to in her free time." Said Aries as he put some food on the table, they heard the front door open.
"Cassiopeia!" called angelica.
"Not hungry!" she called, they heard the faltering in her voice as she ran up the stairs and shut the door of her room.
"Chris-" started Aries but Chris cut him off.
"Father, She will come out when she feels ready, she always does." He said and sat down across from Draco.
Cassiopeia lay on her bed, she looked around her room. The walls were green and everything that was medal silver. Just like her aunts described Slytherin to be, her bed though was pink and purple like any little girl would want it. With a large silk canopy, and a feather bed covering. She grabbed her book off the bedside table and opened it to where she was last.
She was reading 'My sister the vampire'. She felt sick but wouldn't let it get to her. She wanted to be with her Aunt. Not in her room, but she couldn't and wouldn't let anyone see her like this. She got up and walked over to her vanity mirror.
She had very large bags under her eyes and was very pale. She knew the pale part would slide would probably slide with her being pale already. But not the bags under her eyes, they weren't purple like most but a sickly yellow.
"I can do this." She chanted to herself quietly and picked up a makeup brush that she has never touched before and went in a slow line under her eye, leaving behind a white powder. She didn't like the way it felt so she rubbed it off and went back to laying on her bed.
There was a knock at the door. Before she could say anything, she heard it open. Her back was to the door so she couldn't tell who it is. She heard the door close and someone breathing. She felt a cold hand on her forehead her eyes were closed.
"Cassi." She heard her aunt say as she sat down beside the young girl. Cassiopeia didn't move or make a sound. Bellatrix turned her niece around to look at her and saw the face of a girl who has seen a dementor. She gasped and shook the girl so her eyes opened. "Come." Bellatrix demanded in a voice she never used with Cassiopeia and is scared the little girl.
"Okay." She said quickly and followed her aunt out of the bedroom and downstairs trying to stay on her feet. She wished she kept the makeup on. She stopped on the stairs and decided against going any further.
Bellatrix stopped at the bottom of the stairs when she heard her niece running up the stairs. She huffed in annoyance and ran after her as she ran back up the stairs. Cassiopeia ran and went to run into her room but Bellatrix grabbed her not realizing she was grabbing roughly.
Her niece screamed and Bellatrix instantly let go. Narcissa ran up and over. "Bella. Go get a hold of yourself." She hissed and bent down to tend the little girl who was sobbing.
"Calm Cassiopeia." Said Narcissa as she carried the girl into her and Lucius's bedroom. But the little girl didn't stop crying. "Cassiopeia." Said Narcissa as she helped the little girl, she squirmed under Narcissa. She sighed and put her in her own bedroom.
So I wrote the first chapter last night and I should have made it just a one-shot… oh well. It may not be very good but I like it. SO please review and remember Helena Bonham Carter is the best actress ever
