Bella found her sister's easily in the great hall, she sat next to Andy and waited, to her surprised the sorting had no even begun and teachers were now just taking their seats which was lucky for her and Rodolphus.

"Where have you been?" Cissa asked, eyeing her sister.

"I went to the restroom. Why? Is it a sin?" She smiled and so did her sister's.

"I'm starved. What's taking so long?" Andy said just as the doors opened and McGonagall and a new set of first years walked in. "anyone we know?"

"Just the Rookwood kid." Cissa said the she scrunched up her nose. "Were we that small when we first started?"

"What do you mean? we're still small." Bella answered.

As students names were being called off Cissa looked down the table, in the back on the far corner sat Lucius and Cecelia, by the looks of it Cecelia was trying to make him feel better but with little success. Cissa frowned, she had no idea he was that sad, but of course coming back to the very place where your girlfriend had died must be hard.

Andy place her hand on her cheek, she hated the sorting ceremony with a passion, it was so boring and took forever. She glance over and noticed a boy who had to be maybe a year or two older than her. She wondered why she had never noticed him before he was quite handsome tall, well built, auburn hair that shined. He had intense hazel eyes that was staring right at her. Andy stiffened then looked behind her to see if there was anything this boy could be staring at there was nothing but the Gryffindor's. She looked back at him and he smirked.

Dumbledore rose and awoke all three sister's from their thoughts with a calm voice he told them what was forbidden which of course meant the forest and a few other things, then they were allowed to eat. Pippa who was a crossed from them kept looking down the table at Cecelia.

"I don't know why she's so worried about him?" Pippa began. She took a spoonful of rice and placed it on her plate. "I mean I get it he's her brother but I have brothers and I don't do that sort of thing."

The sister's understood and by the looks of it so did Nora. They all had siblings close to their own age or there own age. Pippa had no one, she was the youngest and by a gap so she felt like an only child at some points. Bella on the other hand knew from the forest last year that Pippa only felt like her brothers didn't care, she didn't notice that Rodolphus had fought for her. Pippa wanted that closeness she noticed that all her friends had with their siblings.

Bella frowned she was close to Rodolphus and at points she was closer than Pippa will ever be.

Bella looked at Rodolphus, he seemed happy tonight, he was smiling and talking to Professor Slughorn, probably about the events that had happened. He would tell everyone everything but leave out the part about her. Of course she knew why and she understood why but in a way just a little it hurt that she was such a large secret in his life.

Cissa looked down the table, Cecelia had manage to get Lucius to eat a bit and that was good. But Cissa wished that it could have been her that had made the great improvement. She had spent the summer telling herself that she was over Lucius and that she wasn't going to be a pillow to lay his head till he was better and could move on. But that all seemed to disappear the moment she entered the train and had seen him. But the fear was still there, she wasn't sure if he blamed them for going into the forest and Eli followed or even if she did go back to him would he leave her again. This had all crossed her mind many times.

Andy looked down too, she had always wanted a brother. Someone who would protect her and to give her trouble about boys and just be bigger and stronger. But she had sister's and that was just fine. As she thought about it some more she realized that maybe a brother wouldn't do because what if he became like their father and harm his wife and kids. It would be hard to say what a boy in the family would be like and she realized as she thought about it some more, she liked her sisters and her cousins the way they were and the places they were.

The feast was over and everyone tiredly walked to their dorms. Bella followed Cissa and Andy up the stairs, their beds were always next to each others but for some reason they weren't this year. Each sister was separated by anther bed but tonight they were all to tired to argue with it and each got changed and fell into their new beds apart from each other.

Bella was having weird dreams to start with, everything was on fire and human flesh was burning she could tell it was human from the smell. She jumped awake and looked around everyone was still sleeping, she got out of bed and began to walk down the hall and into the common room everything was foggy like a haze and that's when she blacked out into nothing but darkness.

The sun rose and brightened the room. Bella glanced over at the clock it was 8:30 she had half an hour till her first class she looked around everyone was gone and she silently cursed her sister's for letting her sleep. She sat up and immediately wanted to fall back into bed she was more tired than usual but her dreams were probably the reason. She stood up and felt the squish of mud along with a mixture of what seemed water looking down she discovered she was covered in blood. It was on her hands down her legs and spotted on her nightdress. She looked at the bed and the sheets were smeared red.

Panicking she pulled the sheets off of the bed to reveal a bloody butchers knife that was hidden under the pillow, she searched herself for any wounds but didn't see any. This blood wasn't hers and as tears began to fall down her face as she looked in the mirror.

"What have I done?"
