Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Author's Note: Not sure where this one is going. Not a typical Cissatrix fanfic...but I am trying something differet. No haters or flamers. Bare with me, its going to be a couple chapters long...and they are in the older teens in this one. Bellatrix isnt married yet, Andromeda has yet to leave the family, and Narcissa is engaged to Lucius. As always read and review.
Fleurs Du Mal: Chaper 1: Rose Noire
"Cissy I need to talk to you…I have been hearing some things about you…rumors and I want them clarified." Bellatrix said walking to join her baby sister on her balcony.
"I don't have time to listen to rumors Bella." Narcissa said coldly.
Bellatrix was taken aback by this sudden coldness from Narcissa. It wasn't like her to be so distant with her. She hated being ignored and she hated it when people never answered a direct question.
"Well if you'd stop being a sodding bitch, and let me speak to you I will leave you alone since I am obviously wasting your precious little time." Bellatrix said sarcastically.
"Fuck you Bellatrix." Narcissa hissed as she lit a cigarette.
Bellatrix raised her raven eyebrows. Since when did Narcissa smoke?
"Pardon me? But that isn't very lady like behavior." Bellatrix said coolly as she stared at her baby sister through her heavily lidded eyes.
"I don't give a damn what you think Bellatrix, I stopped caring years ago." Narcissa replied.
She gently puffed on her cigarette and exhaled the smoke through her painted lips. Bellatrix swallowed, she always found the way her sister smoked sexy. Though she would never admit to having incestuous thoughts about Narcissa, she still couldn't help herself as she watched Narcissa take another drag on her cigarette.
"You might want to start caring, once you hear what I have to say." Bellatrix said.
Narcissa raised her eyebrows, she stared at her sister.
"Well get on with it." Narcissa said curtly, taking another drag on her cigarette.
"Well I heard a rumor that you were…pregnant." Bellatrix said a little awkwardly.
Personally the thought made Bellatrix sick to her stomach. She didn't like anyone being with her sister. And she felt utterly embarrassed that she was even having this conversation with Narcissa.
"I don't know who started that rumor, but they seem to be sadly misinformed." Narcissa hissed in a low voice.
"I just want the truth Cissy. I don't believe the rumor, but I have to be sure." Bellatrix said.
"No, I'm not! And how dare you even think for one second that I would ruin our reputation like that? I am not the pure-blood whore that you have become." Narcissa asked hysterically.
"Calm down Cissy, I just wanted to set the record straight, and to be quite honest with you, I have noticed that you have changed…that you are different, and I have to tell you that it is scaring me." Bellatrix replied, completely ignoring the accusation that she was a whore.
"Well not everyone stays the same forever, you of all people Bella should know that. I mean come on, your little clique of friends are something to be worried about." Narcissa retorted.
"My clique isn't the subject that we are discussing. This is about you, and how I feel about the changes you have been going through." Bellatrix said dismissively.
"I don't want to talk about my changes, or what I am going through. It isn't up for discussion anymore Bella. I am going to bed." Narcissa said throwing her finished cigarette off the balcony into the pond below.
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I mean that rumor that I heard on the train was disturbing." Bellatrix said softly.
"Be careful Bella, this compassion you're displaying is going to ruin your reputation. People might think that you actually have feelings." Narcissa sneered.
She walked past her sister and into her bedroom, Bellatrix followed a few seconds later, and to the door.
"Good night Cissy." Bellatrix said.
"Night." Narcissa said curtly.
Bellatrix left the room closing the door behind her. Narcissa flicked her wand and her door locked and her candles went out. She sighed and lay down on her bed, tears fell down her face. She knew she had been extremely rude to Bellatrix. Even if Bellatrix was a heartless bitch most of the time, she still loved Narcissa, and did truly care about her. Narcissa knew that the conversation wasn't all about to root of the rumor, but that Bellatrix sensed that Narcissa was going through something that she obviously thought was serious enough to be discussed. Narcissa sighed and took off her robe, throwing it to the floor in a pool of silk. She climbed beneath the covers and drifted off to sleep.
"Ugh Cissy why do you have to be so difficult?" Bellatrix roared at her empty room as she slammed the heavy door behind her.
The conversation left Bellatrix in a right state, she was livid. Never had Narcissa talked to her in such a manner. Something was going on with her and Bellatrix was determined to find out. With a flick of her wand her door locked, candles went out and clothes came off. She climbed into her bed and pulled the covers over her naked body and lay there staring at the ceiling.
