Well now Andromeda and Bellatrix are on their way to Hogwarts. Let's see what happends.
Disclaimer- I'm not Jo Rowling, but I noticed that some authors don't have disclaimers on every chapter, so from now on I'm not going to put a disclaimer because it's not like all of a sudden I'm going to turn into the author of Harry Potter:)
We managed to find a completely empty compartment that Bellatrix easily made herself at home in. She sprawled across the seat, rested her head on her hands, and closed her eyes. I on the other hand sat stiff in my spot. I was scared that I might make a horrible student or something. What if I wasn't in Slytherin? What would my parents say? What would they do? Would they really disown an eleven year old girl? Maybe they would just pull me out of Hogwarts and have me taught from home. That made me feel a little better, but it still wasn't a good thing.
While wrapped up in thought, I didn't see a group of students standing outside of the compartment. Then I heard a knock which snapped me out of thought. I looked up to see three students that were a little older than I. By the looks of their robes they were in Slytherin. I thought they were probably Bella's friends, so I woke her up. Startled, she wacked me in the face before realizing who I was.
"Oops, sorry Dromeda." She said while she opened the door to her friends. They all clambered in and it became a bit crowded. "Hey guys." She said casually.
"Hey Bellatrix who's that?" asked some unknown girl pointing towards me. I could understand why they didn't know I was Bella's sister. Though we both had gray eyes. Upturned aristocratic noses, similarly structured faces, and were both rather tall we didn't look much alike otherwise. Bellatrix was very curvy and developed, her face was beautiful, and she had a head of long and pretty black curls.
I, on the other hand was as straight as a stick and very flat chested. My face was nice enough looking, though it was just cute little kid looking; not beautiful like Bella's. My hair was a long wavy brown. It was also okay, but second to Bellatrix. I was two years younger than her, so of course I couldn't hope to be as pretty at eleven as she was at thirteen, I figured I would be as pretty as Bella when I was her age. Bella had always been very beautiful, so I wasn't sure.
Narcissa on the other hand, I knew for certain would be drop dead gorgeous by my age and even more so by Bella's. She was already an extremely pretty child.
"Everyone. This is my sister Andromeda. She's a first year." Bellatrix announced as if I were the newest broom or something.
"Oh yeah…I remember you talking about her. So Andromeda, you wanna be in Slytherin right?" One of the boys asked me.
"Yes." I answered shyly. The answer seemed to satisfy them all. After that no one paid attention to me.
"So Bellatrix, I know it's your sister's first year and stuff…but do you wanna come over to our compartment?" The other boy asked. Bella looked over at me then back at her friends. She walked over and gave me a hug.
"Yeah sure." She replied to her friends. Then to me she said, "You're eleven after all. I think you can take care of yourself. Besides you can make some friends. Just make sure they're purebloods." With that she swept out the door with her three friends trailing behind her as if she were their leader. I didn't really mind that Bella left. In fact it was kind of good in a way. I could do whatever I wanted all by myself.
For a while I just sat alone in the compartment thinking more and more about Hogwarts. I thought of all the things Bellatrix had told me about it and wondered which were true and which were not. I was pretty sure that the headmaster didn't really parade around the school in women's' undergarments once a year, but I wasn't positive whether or not there was really a giant squid in the lake. I knew for sure that the Hogwarts sorting was not as scary as it would seem because Mum and Dad said so as well as Bella. None of them would actually tell me how it worked though. I just hoped it wasn't some big test.
Suddenly there was a little tap at the door. I looked and saw a girl with two wavy golden blonde colored pig tails and a face full of freckles. She looked quite sad, so I quickly let her in.
"Are you okay?" I asked as she sat down where Bellatrix has been before.
"I'm fine. I was just tired of the boys in my compartment teasing me because I have freckles." She replied, smiling as a thank you.
"Well, I promise I won't tease you. You look perfectly fine." I looked her over again and noticed that she had warm brown eyes, and was about average height. Yes, she did have freckles, but that didn't bother me at all. I liked her hair the most. It was blonde, but it was unlike Narcissa's blonde. Cissy had pail straight blonde, whereas this girl had golden waves.
"Thanks." She said. "By the way what's your name?"
"Oh sorry! I'm Andromeda. Andromeda Black. This is my first year." I explained to her.
"Mine too! My names Ella. Ella Jensen. So do you want to be friends?"
"Of course, but um what blood are you?" I asked.
"I'm pureblooded. Why?" She gave me a confused look.
"My sister says I'm supposed to ask." I stated. She didn't ask anything else about it. WE just continued talking the rest of the way to Hogwarts. We were both happy at making a friend.
"So what house do you want to be in?" I asked Ella.
"Oh well, I think maybe Hufflepuff. My mum was a Hufflepuff. My Dad was a Gryffindor though, so maybe I'll be one. Ravenclaw sounds nice too."
"But not Slytherin?" I asked. Ella laughed a little.
"No. I would never want to be in Slytherin." She stated casually. "What house do you want to be in?" She asked me.
"Slytherin." I said. "Everyone in my family has been a Slytherin. My mum said they would disown me if I wasn't."
"That's not fair. My mum and dad said that they would be proud no matter what house I'm in." Ella told me. For the first time I had doubts about being in Slytherin. Maybe I could be in a different house with Ella. We could be best friends, and have the same dormitory, and have beds next to each other…and… and…That would never happen. Bella would never let it happen. She would never allow me to make friends with people that weren't Slytherins. I would never allow myself to not be in Slytherin. It's my duty to my family. I've got to be a Slytherin. I thought to myself.
About an hour later, after more talk and some sweets; we arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I couldn't believe that I was finally there, the place I had been waiting and training to go to for so long.
So Andromeda made a friend, but will they be able to stay friends? Review to find out! I'll post the next chapter very soon. Really please review though.:)
