Hey everyone. Here is another chapter of Little Moments. It's written for Fortnightly Challenges Thread's Leaf Pile Challenge on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I used the prompt of orange (emotions) jealous. I hope you all enjoy The Children's Table.

Narcissa sat next Regulus and glared at the older children as they got to play near the grown ups. It wasn't fair she mused as she watched Bella try and join the conversation at the grown up table. Why couldn't her and Regulus join the grown up table? Andy wasn't that much older than she was and she was allowed to join the older children at the other table. She smashed her spoon into her potatoes feeling really rather dejected.

"What's wrong, little cousin?" came a voice from behind Narcissa making her jump ever so slightly.

Turning around she found her cousin Sirius standing behind her with an expectant look on his face. She hadn't heard him come up behind her. Or even see him leave the adult table which she hadn't seen him sit at either. Not knowing how to answer him she choose to go with a shrug. How did you tell someone that you were jealous of them?

"You aren't jealous that, Bella, Andy, and I, get to sit at the adult table," he says watching her face more than likely see if she lies to him. Sirius is good at picking out lies that are being told him. Or at least in Narcissa's mind he is. "Are you?"

She knew from the moment he asked the question that she was indeed caught in the act of being jealous. She didn't know why she tried to hide she was never really a good liar. She nodded up at Sirius.

"Don't be jealous, little Cissa," he told her. "I'd rather sit over here with Reg, and you than over there with the grown ups any day." He pulled up a chair setting his plate down at the children's table. There was something in Sirius' voice as he talked of the grown ups that seemed a bit off to her. Maybe she'd ask Andy and Bella about it later.

She felt her jealousy abated a little bit. But she couldn't help watching as Bellatrix, and Andromeda ate dinner with their parents and aunt and uncle. One of these days the whole family would be at the dinner table. She wonders if she'd be happy then as she digs into her cranberries. But she knows she'll never forget this Christmas as long as she lives.

I hope you all enjoyed The Children's Table. I think this a cute little look at a Black family Christmas dinner.
