Yes, October, the general idea is to create some suspense. NAZ1, I really enjoy your reviews and help, I'm just going to write a bit more and see what you come up with or what strikes me. This chapter is extremely short, but as I said in the beginning, they're not really chapters but different entries. So I'll have the next one ready soon. I've also decided to nix the titles.

When Mother and my sisters returned, I pretended to be ill. I daresay I looked it.
"Utterly stupid, Andromeda Black, going out into that storm. What ever shall I do with you," she said, mixing some Pepperup Potion. She means it, too. She does not trust me for many reasons. I suspect Narcissa will always be her favorite.
I now rest still in bed. Little Bella came to lie with me, after she showed off her new cloak, which somehow sparkles exactly like her eyes. I told her she was beautiful. She merely smiled, because it is obvious. She was a darling baby, then a lovely child, and now at twelve she looks sixteen and radiant.
"You are beautiful too," she said, throwing off her cloak and snuggling under my quilts. I leaned over to kiss her forehead, but she pulled away.
"You're not contagious, are you?"
I shook my head. My little sister smiled.
Thank goodness I have one friend.
