Title: An Older Sister's Thoughts
Summary: She loved her sister; she just hoped that the other was right.
Warnings: None
Words: 205
Note: Another drabble inspired by Fallen Petals of an Ambiguous Flower, written by Dory-the-Fishie of MNFF. The prompt this time was to write the wedding dress scene from Bellatrix's point of view.
An Older Sister's Thoughts
Bellatrix climbed the tall staircases that led up to her youngest sister's room. Her mother had told her to "go and find Narcissa, Bella," and so, she had gone.
She stopped in the doorway and watched her sister for a moment before she made her presence known. She watched as Narcissa stood smiling in front of the mirror, her wedding dress a perfect fit, and could not help, at that moment, feeling slightly envious of her sister.
Narcissa believed she was going to be happy, and though the younger witch would never have believed it about her older, darker sister, Bellatrix truly wished that, at that moment, Narcissa would not be wrong.
Granted, she had never tried to develop very close and emotional bonds with her two sisters, but if pushed, Bellatrix would have to say that she was closer to Narcissa than anyone. No matter what anyone thought, she cared about her baby sister, but she would never outwardly show that affection. No, that affection remained buried deep inside Bellatrix, and the eldest Black refused to let it show.
I hope you're right, sister, Bellatrix thought as she talked with her sister, Narcissa spilling out her emotions about Lucius. I truly hope you're right.
Author's Note: Alright, there's another one, and like the previous drabble, this one also remains unedited. It was written two or three years ago, and that's what you've read today. I hope you enjoyed it, though it is quite short, and a thank you goes out to SWChica2005 for reviewing! To everyone else, let me know what you think!
