Vice and Virtue
Narcissa's Point of View
After Andy's episode the day after Christmas she hasn't come out of her room. Bella and I alternate bringing her food and yesterday she asked me by note to bring up Edward our family owl. I carried his cage upstairs and knocked on the door. She opened it and she looked terrible. She muttered out a thank you and shut the door in my face. I haven't seen her since, but I hope she's getting ready for the party tonight. Lucius came over about an hour ago; he brought me chocolate which I've been dying for. Bella of course won't share her huge stash of candy that Andy and I bought her for Christmas; she can be such a bitch sometimes. Lucius and I sit on the couch kissing our bodies tangled with one another.
"I love you so much" I say as I lean into him wanting more. He breaks away though as Dad comes in the room.
"Lucius how 'bout you stop kissing my daughter and come have something to drink with me in the other room." I stare Daddy down, why does he have to ruin everything.
"Narcissa you can go get ready." I stand up wobbling a little at first because I've been sitting so long. Lucius quickly grabs my arm to steady me.
"I'm fine." I stand up straight brushing myself off. I don't know why Daddy doesn't like Lucius; he's always there for me unlike Rodolphus who is never there for Bella. I walk upstairs as the go into the other room. Before I get to my room I notice Bella outside Andy's room.
"Let me in" she shouts pounding her fists on the door.
"Go Bella I'm getting ready. Rodolphus and Rabastan aren't even here yet." Bella continues to pound her fists on the door.
"They will be soon." Bella eases up the pounding as she reaches for her wand.
"No" I whisper sharply to her. "Don't make Daddy even more pissed then he already is." She puts her wand back and stomps back to her room to get changed. I walk down the hall to my room where I grab the dress robes we bought at Diagon Alley. The dress is a simple blue and the matching robe is a darker blue. I slide on the robes and fix my hair. I curl it and let the ringlets fall below my shoulders. If it weren't for my slightly enlarged middle you would think I was the most innocent thing in the world. I think that's what mums shooting for. She and dad haven't been getting along lately. Dad's quite mad about Lucius sleeping with Bella, but mum just wants to forgive and forget. With Andy's situation the other day dad feels Andy should be punished, but mum wants to let it slide over like nothing happened. There is only one thing they can agree on theses days and it's that Bella was out of control. They aren't thrilled about having three grandchildren so soon. Bella's in some deep shit. She's due like me in the beginning of June and mum and dad wants to have her wedding at the end of July. Of course Bella doesn't want that so more fighting happens. I'm almost glad Andy hasn't come out of her room it's like a battlefield out here.
Bellatrix's Point of View
I finish getting ready for the Malfoy's party and head downstairs. Cissy is already downstairs on the couch with Lucius. They are talking about something seriously. I can tell by the way they look at each other. My dress isn't stunning. It's a simple green with ruffles at the bottom. I had to stretch it using magic because it wouldn't fit, so it doesn't look that good. Mum walks out wearing a dark blue jacket wit ha nice skirt.
"Where's Andromeda, your sister is starting to worry me." I turn ready to run upstairs to get her when she comes down the staircase. She is wearing a tight one shouldered black dress that cuts unevenly across her legs. She's wearing dark eye shadow and her hair is pulled back into a messy bun. I can see underneath her make up she's exhausted, beat by an invisible force that is eating away at her.
"You look stunning" mum says as she walks toward her. Andy goes and sits down across from Lucius and Narcissa trying to ignore her. Lucius is gawking at her, and Narcissa slaps him back into reality. Daddy who has been in the corner of the room does not say a word. I can tell that he thinks Andy's appearance is not appropriate. Suddenly the fireplace turns green and Rodolphus appears in his dress robes.
"Bella" he says pulling me into his arms. He lets go and looks me over.
"You get bigger by the day I swear." I give him a dirty look.
"You aren't telling me anything." The fire roars green again and Rabastan steps out of the fireplace. He looks good tonight. He's shaved, but still has the edge of ruggedness I love. I stop staring when Andy goes over to him and pulls him aside. She smiles at him sexily drawing him in. She's up to something, she hated him two days ago and now she's trying to get him into her pants. I wonder what she's up to as she leads him out of the room and upstairs.
Andromeda's Point of View
I grab Rabastan and Bella looks at me curiously, she's probably wondering what I'm up to.
"What do you want Andy?" Rabastan asks me as we climb the stairs.
"Some alone time" I say leading him on. He grabs at my butt and I swat at him.
"No ass grabbing." Thank God Ted's in my room or Rabastan would probably take advantage of me. I was surprised that Ted could get here on such short notice. My idea of using the polyjuice potion to transform him into Rabastan popped into my head a couple of days ago. He responded quickly to my letter and got here today only thirty minutes ago. Rabastan follows me upstairs and I can tell he's excited. He thinks he's going to get something from me before the party. I don't think that's happening. We get to my room, but before I can open the door Rabastan spins me around and plants a forceful kiss on my lips. I grab the handle on my door and force it open sending it flying back. He's still kissing me when Ted walks out of my closet. He grabs my thick Potions textbook and lobs it at Rabastan. He makes perfect contact and Rabastan falls to the floor.
"Ted" I shout shutting the door "that wasn't the plan." He's filled with rage as he walks over to me he kicks Rabastan.
"He was taking advantage of you, and you let him. If I hadn't stepped in he would have had you naked and on your bed in two minutes flat." I sigh, I did kind of let go. Rabastan is good looking, but I also have to remember he's a complete man-whore.
"Just grab some hair" I say pointing to Rabastan. Ted goes and yanks a good chunk off his scalp. I pour the polyjuice potion which has been brewing on my dresser into a cup. Ted adds the hairs toasts to me.
"Bottoms up", he drinks the concoction and I begin to see the potion working on him. Ted and Rabastan are about the same size so Ted's clothing survive through his transformation. His blue eyes turn brown and his nice soft features turn to Rabastan's sharp ones. Before I know it I have a copy of Rabastan Lestrange in front of me. I strip Rabastan of his clothes and hand them to Ted. Rabastan does look good and I don't blame Bella for sleeping with him. Ted looks at me sharply. Even through Rabastan's eyes I can see he doesn't appreciate me deflowering Rabastan.
"Just change" I say annoyed. "Did you bring those prescription drug things?" He nods as he undresses. As soon as he gets undressed and I see his abs I nearly melt. I don't know why I have such feelings for Rabastan's body he's such an ass. Ted reaches into his bag and pulls out a syringe and a small bottle of fluid.
"Good thing my mother still has these migraine things. If she feels one coming on I give her this and she's asleep for a half a day." He sticks the syringe in the bottle and sucks up some fluid, and then he hands it to me.
"Just stick it in his arm." I walk over to Rabastan and I see his eyes open.
"Ted he's awake!" He pulls up Rabastan's pants and grabs the syringe from me.
"What the fuck Andy" Rabastan yells at me. As he starts to stand Ted stabs the syringe in his arm. He falls to the floor and I step back running into my dresser. Ted turns to me.
"Andy its ok don't cry he's not going to hurt you." I didn't even realize I was crying. Ted steps towards me and because he's in Rabastan's body I freak out.
"Don't touch me!" He continues to walk forward and hugs me. I let him and I can tell this is Ted hugging me even though Rabastan's body.
"Let's go back downstairs." He pulls on Rabastan's robes and we walk toward the stairs.
"Remember you know everyone here including my parents. My sisters will treat you differently especially Bellatrix." Disgust spreads across my mind at the thought of Bella kissing Ted. As we enter the parlor Dad gives us a sharp look, and I feel Ted tense up next to me.
"Were have you two been" he asks. Ted stares at my family stunned to be in front of them.
"I had a potions question" I mutter quickly making up a little white lie. Mum gives Ted a harsh look.
"Rabastan you wouldn't be snogging my daughter while doing potions, correct?" Ted shakes his head.
"No ma'am" at this mum lets out a small chuckle.
"That's what I thought." Bella clears her throat and we turn to her.
"Let's get going" she says and stares at Ted curiously. I can tell she knows something is seriously different with Rabastan. Lucius and Narcissa leave first then mum and dad. Bella and Rodolphus climb into the fire; she has some problems bending over with her big stomach though.
"We'll see you there" Bella says and they are gone. I look at Ted and even through Rabastan's brown eyes I can see his blue ones staring at me.
"Bella, I think is the only on you'll have to worry about tonight. I can tell she knows something is up." Ted nods.
"Let's go then" he says and steps into the fire. I kiss him on the cheek and we are off to Malfoy Manor.
Narcissa's Point of View
Lucius and I step out of the fire and are immediately greeted by Calpurnia and Abraxas.
"How's our grand baby doing?" Calpurnia asks as she hugs me.
"Good I haven't felt it moving yet", Calpurnia laughs.
"It's a little early for that I'm just glad you two are taking responsibility for your actions." I nod and Lucius and I begin to walk around. Many families have already arrived. I see William, Walden, and Tom hanging by a bowl of punch. I also notice Crabbe and Goyle. They're in Rabastan's year and I don't even know their names. Lucius walks up and starts talking to them. Thomas comes up to me.
"Narcissa do you know Rose Zabini?" I nod, she is Thomas' age and my friend Mary's little sister.
"Do you think I should make a move on her?" I turn I had no idea Thomas liked anyone yet.
"Of course, just whatever you do not get her pregnant." He looks at my stomach gravely, but then smiles up at me before he runs over to Rose. I turn back around and Lucius is done talking with Crabbe and Goyle.
"What was that about?"
"Nothing" Lucius replies and Bella comes walking up to us with Rodolphus.
"Lucius I forgot where your bathroom is and I really need to go pee." Lucius sighs as Bella does a little dance while trying not to go to the bathroom.
"Over there down the hall and it's the first door on the right." Bella nods and she and Rodolphus walk toward the bathroom. Music starts playing and Lucius leads me into the front parlor where people are dancing.
"May I have this dance?" he asks bowing and sticking out his hand. I take it and place my other hand on his shoulder. He puts his other hand on my waist. We spin around the dance floor and I lose myself in his gray eyes. The song ends and we stop. As another song begins I notice Andy and Rabastan across the room. Andy truly looks happy tonight almost like she wants to be with Rabastan. He also seems weird; he looks at Andy like she's the only thing he's got in the world. Lucius takes me out of the room and I realize we're headed towards the kitchen. Thank God because I need chocolate. We enter the kitchen and I nearly step on a house elf. I'm not the greatest on my feet these days but you would think I'd be able to handle transitioning from one room to another. I see a big chocolate cake sitting on the counter.
"Lucius can I have some of that" I ask pointing right at it.
"Of course", he begins to search the drawers for a knife. He finds one and begins to cut a piece of cake for me. He finds a plate and plops the slice on it. He passes it to me with a fork. I start to dig in and Lucius stares at me in amazement when I finish in less then a minute.
"Wow this baby is going to have an appetite." We both chuckle and for once it's just nice to have fun.
Andromeda's Point of View
Ted and I leave the dance floor after a couple of songs.
"Come on" I say pulling him out into the Malfoy's garden. We walk along the shrubs and I see Rodolphus coming close to us.
"Rabastan" he says looking at Ted. "How 'bout you take a break from Andy and go find someone else. normally your in bed with someone by now." Ted gulps and grabs my arm in defense. I don't know why Rodolphus seems intent on ruining my night.
"I think I'll stay with Dromeda tonight" Ted stays staring Rodolphus right in the face. Rodolphus just shrugs.
"Fine, but get the experience while you can." Ted nods and I give Rodolphus a dirty look. He walks off and Ted turns to me.
"So Rabastan really does sleep around then?" I nod.
"Do your parents know that?"
"God no they didn't even know that Bella was having sex." Ted nods at that.
"I was going to say if they did know why would they make you marry him."
"That's the way my parents are Ted and that's why your Rabastan tonight." He nods yet again and we head back inside. As we pass the staircase I notice Rodolphus sneaking upstairs with Lucy, a girl from school. I then look around the room for Bella. Ted taps my shoulder.
"What's going on?" I spot Lucius and walk up to him.
"Have you seen Bella?"
"Yes she was tired so I let her lie down one of the guest rooms down the hall." I walk towards the hallway and then sprint down until I reach the guest room Bella is in. She's fast asleep and I shake her awake. As she turns over she screams and i think its because she sees Ted or to her Rabastan.
"Bella what's wrong?" She curls into a ball.
"Bad dream and get him out of here."
"T-Rabastan could you leave for a minute." he nods and walks out.
"Bella, Rodolphus just snuck upstairs with Lucy." She acts like she didn't hear me and I think she may be shocked.
"And your point is." I groan Bella knows what Rodolphus is doing but she just blocks it out like it isn't happening.
"Whatever go back to sleep Bella we'll get you when were ready to leave." I walk out of the room and motion for Ted to follow. When we get into the parlor everyone is crowded around the big grandfather clock. I look and realize that its a minute till new year.
"Five, four, three, two, one Happy New Year!" Everyone is yelling and hugging and I turn to Ted.
"How 'bout a new years kiss." He smiles I lean in and we kiss longer than I intended. It's one of the most passionate kisses we've shared and when break away everyone is staring. Suddenly my father starts clapping followed by everyone else in the room. They must see how much in love I am with Ted. Unfortunately to them this is Rabastan. Guests start leaving the party and soon it is jut my family, the Lestrange's, and the Malfoy's.
"Well" Mrs. Lestrange says "Rabastan, Rodolphus; wait where is Rodolphus?" Everyone looks around.
"I don't see Bella either" Cissy says. I look and then see them come out of the hallway.
"There they are." Bella looks tired and Rodolphus looks annoyed about something.
"Come on Rodolphus say goodbye to Bellatrix, we have to leave." Mrs. Lestrange then turns to Ted and I.
"Rabastan say goodbye to Andromeda." Ted looks at me and I just nod.
"I'd like to take her home." Mrs. Lestrange sighs and gives me an unpleasant look.
"You may take her home, but come right back to our house."
"I think we're going to turn in for the night" Calpurnia says. "Lucius we'd like you home by two am." She and Abraxas walk upstairs and now Rodolphus turns to Bella.
"I'll see you at the start of term." She nods and a tear slides down her cheek. She turns towards the fireplace and grabs some floo powder. She angrily throws it to the ground and she's gone.
"What did I do?" Rodolphus asks. I sigh, what a fucking idiot. I grab Ted and walk towards the fireplace.
"We're going" I say and dad nods. I grab floo powder and we go back to my house. Bella's sobbing on the couch when we get there.
"You're brothers a dick!" she screams at Ted.
"Come on" I say grabbing Ted. I need to get him upstairs before he changes back. We walk up the stairs and his hair starts to turn. As we walk into my room he almost is back to his normal self.
"Hurry" I say as I hear my parents downstairs. He slides off Rabastan's clothes and puts on his own. Rabastan is still where we left him.
"Andromeda" dad yells, and judging from the sound of his voice he's on the stairs.
"Ted move" I whisper sharply. "I'll see you when term begins." he gives me a quick kiss and mounts his broom. He kicks off and then he is gone.
"Andromeda why is your door closed?" I grab Rabastan's robes and pull them on him. Dad tries the door.
"Andromeda open this door this instant." I slap Rabastan and he comes out of his stupor. That's when dad breaks down the door. He glares at Rabastan, but when he realizes our clothes are on lets out a sigh.
"Good your not having sex." Rabastan looks very confused.
"I'll see you later Rabastan" I say and he walks out of the room in a daze.
"Good night Andromeda" dad says. I nod and as he shuts the door I collapse on my bed. If only my life could be simple.
Okay I hope everyone liked this chapter. Next chapter will be bigger and will definitely be M rated. So if you don't like the sex scenes next chapter isn't going to be good. Remember to vote in my poll on my profile page, and to review. I'd like to get five reviews before the next chapter. Maybe you guys can make that happen. :D
