A/N: THANK YOU! THANK YOU ETERNALLY! I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU AMELIA BLACK
CHANCERY! Thank you for the wonderful constructive criticism! They looked
like this in the last chapter: Both are wearing long dresses [keep in mind
that this is the early fifties.]
Bellatrix is looking as though she was new to the gothic style with a black dress with purple streaks going from the hip down. She has black hair down to her shoulder-blades and is a bit over 4 feet tall. Bella is not wearing the lipstick we love to see in Goths but she'll get there perhaps... She is tall and a part in the middle of her head separates the left side of her hair from the right. Her hair passes over her ears and then goes in front of her shoulders. [Obviously I'm not a hair enthusiast; I'm practically a baldy. I have about a half inch of hair, go figure --;;]
Narcissa [I apologize for writing 'Narcissia.' I just think it sounds SO much better] is looking as though she stepped out of a princess fairy-tale. She is wearing an graceful long white dress and has on silver bracelets. Her hair is tucked into an elegant bun [Doesn't Minerva sport one of those?] with diamonds placed inches apart from each other. Her cheeks are rouge from play makeup and she is wearing gloves to fit her petit hands. She is a bit over 3 ½ feet and her nose is a stuck high in the air for someone so tiny [That'll become a nasty habit now, wont it? Wink]
For all who didn't review: I have left the last chapter up long enough. The profiles were only for Amelia, but since you are reading them, they can be for you too. If you review, perhaps you may see some of your suggestions here. Without further ado...
The Scarlet Hogwarts Train
The Black house was hectic. "Whatever you do, try to get into Slytherin!" yelled Mrs. Black. "And take a lunch! Sirius, stop pulling on Kreatcher's ears, he's just a baby!" She was busy running around making sure things went smoothly. "Sirius Black, if you do not leave the house elf alone I will tell your mother!" She continued to run back and forth giving her girls what they would need for school. "SIRIUS IF YOU STICK THAT IN THE HOUSE ELF ONE MORE TIME I WILL—" Sirius didn't find out what his aunt would do as the elf had done some type of magic and disappeared somewhere else with a blaze of flame.
Mrs. Black took no time in extinguishing the fire and repairing what burns were around the kitchen. She turned to the five year old black-haired boy and with a wave of her wand, he was stuck to the ceiling by his back. "Aunty Nowadowa I didn't mean to! It was an accident! I was framed! The Ministwy made do it!" She took no notice and continued hurrying around. "This is more my house than yours! My daddy owns it!" Exclaimed Sirius in an attempt to get down. Noradora rolled her eyes and continued but she couldn't help but laugh at her nephew's charm.
Sirius hung from the ceiling by his back. It wasn't painful but he could feel blood rushing to his frontal area. His neck length hair framed his face (If looking directly above) and his olive complexion was getting red. He folded his arms and with a 'humph' he gave up.
Mr. Black had rented a Ministry car and was currently driving Bellatrix and Andromeda to King's Cross station. Andromeda had short hair, which curled up at the ends. Her eyes were bright brown and she was tall. She was reading the Daily Prophet and not taking part in the present conversation.
"You see dear, Slytherin is and will always be the best house to be sorted into. You see, Slytherin prides itself on its purity of blood. You see, the last time a mudblood or half-blood was ever in Slytherin was..... It wasn't. You see....." Droned Mr. Black. Bella had never really liked the way her father said "you see" all the time. She took to her first year spell books and read, she was instantly bored, either because she knew the darker versions on how these spells worked, or because she bet with herself that she would hate Hogwarts.
By the time they had gotten to Kings Cross, muggles were all around. Bellatrix had never seen so many muggles at one time. She wanted to see what they were really like. She walked up to a small black girl with shoulder-length brunette hair in braids and about her age and looked closely at her face. She tried to see what made muggles filthy.
The girl turned around and looked at Bella, "Hi. I'm Annabelle." She said with a southern American accent. Bella jumped back and caught herself. "Hi, I'm Bellatrix. Are you a muggle?" Annabelle looked at Bellatrix and smiled, "Heavens no."
Bella laughed slightly. "No wonder you're not dirty." Annabelle laughed at Bella. "That's not very nice to say. My neighbor was a muggle. My cousin Jay-Jay used to hex him then Obliterate his memory. Then he'd got a letter to Salem's Wizard academy for boys and rubbed it in our faces. We admitted to him we was pureblood and he never messed wit' us again."
Bella laughed. "Now that is funny. I wish I could've been there. So what brings you to London?" Anna giggled, "Hogwarts of course. Best school, don't ya' know?" Bella snickered. "How in Sabrina's name do we get to Hogwarts though?" Bella looked confused at her new friend. "Oh, Sabrina's a popular American wizarding name." [I wonder why...]
Bellatrix nodded in understanding and instructed her new acquaintance on how to pass through the barrier to get to Hogwarts. Upon passing the barrier, Bellatrix, Andromeda and Annabelle got onto the train and into an empty compartment. The girls began to chitchat aimlessly until passing by the compartment was what Andromeda described as a "helluvaman" and with that she left the first years to themselves.
Bellatrix laughed at her sister's taste. "Honestly, I ask you, he was wearing specs, big ones at that! Annabelle giggled, "Back in America, its cool to wear them... when they're small and round, not gigantic and square!" They both laughed and talked among themselves.
They covered the subjects of: Hippies in America and their knowledge of magic and how the drugs they take stop their minds from being obliterated, of course no one believed them when they claim to have seen a red light hit their chest and remembering the words "Stupefy," they covered how the hair should be worn in public, Bella picking "Down and out" and Anna picking "Up in braids." They lastly talked about forest trolls and how they have recently been chosen to guard the infamous prison Azkaban ("Of course in America, dementors are banned from the country and we have Shacklelords, which take parts of the person's personalities and twist it in different ways, but it does take a toll on the body... It is horrible...." Said Annabelle in a voice so hushed you'd think one of them were right around the corner.)
Back at "The Noble And Most Ancient House Of Black," Noradora went downstairs in the dark kitchen to get a snack. She had sat down at the table when a peeling sound could be heard echoing throughout the room. She looked all but up, which proved to be a most fatal mistake... THWAP!
Sirius fell onto her lap. The house's "pressure-activated" alarm system put on every torch in the house. Sirius had managed to twist himself in the air so he landed on his five-year old rump on his aunt's lap. "I love you Aunty." He said as he kissed her cheek and put on a famous "Puppy-dog smile" of his. Noradora smiled back and discreetly waved her wand sending his back up there. "Dagnabit!" he exclaimed and began to redo his hard work of 'ceiling rolling' to try and get down. Before she left she took the jinx off of him causing him to fall on the kitchen chair to his shock. He muttered "She can't do that to me... I'm the cute one, the charming one and the smart one...I'm practically a one man act... As soon as I find some eye of newt." Sirius stalked off to his room, he had A LOT of mischief to make up for.
What did you all think? I hope you liked it. I will soon have the sorting ceremony put up. I tried to go for a chapter which shows Sirius in his younger days as well as shows the prejudice that the Black family went through. I think it turned out pretty well. I just thought I would leave you to ponder the importance of the Shacklelords power... If you figure it out, please don't write it when you review, it will only spoil the surprise. It's just our little secret... Winks and bribes you with assorted color candies and whatever it is your hearts desire Well, I will update soon, so don't let your guard down. Thank you again! !
