Chapter 3
A tired Bellatrix Black rose from her bed the next morning and felt like slumbering in her pit all day. Every day she had to lie to her parents and she hated it.
God she had let them down
Getting up, just like her sister, was hard for Bella.
She needed Rodulphus. He, like Lucius, would be arriving at on Saturday. But today was Sunday which meant six days still had to pass.
Today her aunt and uncle would arrive with there cousins. She was dreading it. Sirius, whom had run away last summer, was delighting them with his presents. Him and Orion had always been close, lords knows why, but Orion had permitted him to also bring a few friends.
This summer was going to be terrible.
Suddenly Bellatrix ran in to her en-suite bathroom and was sick, not that it was not expected.
Her father was going to be distraught when he found out what she'd done.
She cleared her self up and half an hour later as she did her make up there was a knock on her door.
"Come in!" she called.
At her door way stood her sister. Narcissa looked fabulous as always. She was in a lilac riding robe and her longed hair was swept out of her face in to a neat bun with just a few tactful ringlets framing it. God she wished she could look as good as her sister so effortlessly.
"Hello Bella!" she said cheerfully. "It's a beautiful morning. I'm taking legacy for a ride. Would you like to come with me? I'm your horse also needs some exercise." She tried to persuade her.
"No Cissa you go. I don't feel strong enough to go riding," she said.
"Sister, what's the matter?" said Narcissa putting a graceful hand on Bella's knee.
"I've been so stupid," said Bella her voice lased with emotion.
"Last night, you didn't tell me what was so wrong, would you like to now?" her cool eyes piercing Bella's.
"No but tonight I must. Tell Andromeda to be here. And Regulas, if you must Sirius also. I should tell the four of you together. The Black cousins have always been a team Narcissa. They should know what has happened together," she said looking in the mirror.
"Then I'll see you at lunch," said Narcissa though she was worried for Bellatrix.
"You will," said Bellatrix hanging a crystal tear necklace round her neck.
That day Bella put on a simple Black robe. Why she wore the colour of morning she did not know. For she was about to bring a new life in to the world.

Lucius smiled as the whistle went and he realized his side of the family had down the Quidditch game!
"Yes!" he shouted as he high fived his eleven year old brother Garner.
"Nice one!" said the younger.
As they got back down to thee ground he saw his little sister, fourteen year old gwendeline looking at him.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"I'm fine," she said. "I just can't believe you're in love with this girl. I see you in the corridors. You always look so happy Lucius. You don't even talk to me any more."
"That's not true Gwen!" said Lucius.
"Yes it is! Your always with her, I get a 'hi' in the common room if I'm lucky" she said. "I miss my big brother."
"Oh Gwen, I'm sorry ok, but how was I meant to know. Last summer I was too protective now I'm not protective enough! How am I meant to know what you want?"
"I don't know! But you were so off with me at Christmas!" she complained.
"I was with everyone at Christmas-"
"Because you thought you were going to lose her!"
"Yeah I guess so," he shrugged.
"All I'm saying is you have changed!" she said. "And I miss the old you!"
Lucius groaned. Home for one day and he was already public enemy no. one, how great was this?
"Well Gwen I'm sorry but I am in love with Narcissa and that is not about to change," he shrugged. "But I do still love my sister ok?"
Gwen nodded.

"Auntie!" said Narcissa embracing Helena Black.
"My love you have grown so beautiful!" commented her aunt.
"Thank you!"
"Hey Cissa!" said Sirius hugging her with one arm.
Behind him stood his partners in crime James, Remus and Peter.
"Hey you lot, come say hi to Narcissa then!"
There was three mumbles of 'hi' and 'how you'.
"I'm well!" she said playing the part of a perfect young lady. 'Such gentlemen' she thought.
"Sirius, later tonight meet me in bella's room ok?" she whispered.
"Kay, why?"
"I don't but it's just for the cousins in others word come alone," s he said.
"Kay," he nodded.
