The Forgotten
A/N: I don't own anything except, the adults' names, & Nate. Probably only gonna be one more chapter. Be sure to check out Desaroy's fics, she's my amazingly fantastic beta. Now on w/ the fic...enjoy!
Devlin & Bronwen left followed by Bellatrix, slowly Sirius crawled out from under the table & walked over to Narcissa. "Cissa?" A single tear fell down her cheek, Sirius went to wipe it away when Narcissa quickly stood up.
"Don't call me that, my name is Narcissa," she stated coolly.
"But Cis--" he protested, but was cut off when a hand grabbed him.
"DON'T call me that. I'm too old for such silliness," she looked down her nose like her mother did, "I have a betrothal to prepare for, why don't you go find Bellatrix to play with you." He was confused as she swished out of the dining room. He grabbed Nate & walked to Andromeda's room, it was completely empty. Puzzled, he went to the library. Bellatrix was there.
"Trixie?" he called softly.
"Don't call me that! My name is Bellatrix!" said a voice from behind a huge stack of books.
"Trixie, what are you reading?"
She huffed, "My name is BELLATRIX and I'm reading the family histories of all the Pureblood families. One must be educated in such matters." He rolled his eyes.
"What are these ones?"
"Father's Dark Arts books, I best get an early start if I want to be ready for school in a couple years. Maybe later we can practice." He sighed & picked up a book. Inside the books were illustrations of what each curse did. Sirius paled with each page he turned each on getting more graphic, he got to one called Crucio & dropped the book as if it'd burned him. "Trixie, are you sure you should be looking at these?"
"Of course I am. I need to know as much as I can because those contain important spells. They don't teach such things at Hogwarts," she explained as if it was the most obvious thing, "You're such a baby. Leave me alone."
He huffed then grinned, "Fine..TRIXIE," he ducked the book she'd threw.
"AND STOP CALLING ME TRIXIE!"
He looked all over the mansion & no sign of Andromeda. He spotted his aunt and Narcissa having tea & talking quietly. He knocked on the door. "Come in my dear," said Bronwen. He walked over to them and took a cookie.
"Auntie, where's Dromeda?"
The two women looked at each other puzzled, "Dromeda? Who is Dromeda?"
Sirius tilted his head to the side, "She's my cousin, Cissa's sister."
"Narcissa doesn't have a sister by that name, do you love?" asked his aunt.
"No Mother, I don't. Only Bellatrix" Sirius walked over to the tapestry.
"Look right he---" where her name once resided, now was a black scorch mark.
"Sirius dear, I think you are much too old for imaginary friends, & ratty old toys. You are the heir of this family, & it's time for you to act like it. ACCIO dog." The black dog was pulled from his arms & flew to his aunt, "IMPLODO!" The dog exploded in small bits of fluff. Sirius looked in horror at the shreds of black fabric, fluff, & the buttons that were the eyes. He picked up the remains of what was once his most treasured possession. Tears filled his eyes, "You killed Dromeda & Nate! I hate you!" He took off out of the room his small form racking with sobs, flinging himself into the bed that was once Andromeda's. No one ever noticed the tears that fell from her eyes. She was Narcissa Malfoy now. And Malfoys don't cry.
A/N: You know the drill. Read, then review. There's gonna be another chapter soon...I think.
