Hey everyone. This is another chapter of my Little Moments story. This chapter was brought to you by Demonology: Dante's Inferno assignment on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The assignment was to write about someone abandoning or betraying a family member. I hope you all enjoyed Narcissa's Betrayal.
The world isn't what it used to be like in their childhood. It wasn't carefree and happy like it used to be. The sun didn't shine on everything the sisters Black did. If it did Andromeda wouldn't have betrayed them like she did, Narcissa thought bitterly as she watched from the back of the church where her sister was getting married.
If asked Narcissa wouldn't know how to explain why she was here. She didn't support Andromeda. Or at least she didn't think she did anyway. But here she was in a toned down dress, one her mother would make her wear to a family funeral, watching Andy marry that Muggle Ted Tonks.
"Do you Andromeda Black take this man Edward Tonks to be your lawfully wedded husband," the pastor was saying.
Narcissa tunes out the rest of the man's speech. A cold dread hits her knowing that one of these days she'd have to go through this too. But unlike Andromeda she'd be doing it with someone she couldn't stand.
"I do," Andromeda's voice cuts through the thoughts running through Narcissa's thought.
Now it was Ted Tonks's turn the answer the question and Narcissa finds herself kind of jealous of the way Ted looks so longingly at Andromeda. He really loves Andromeda and the way he looks at her shouts it out to the world. Narcissa wishes that someone, no, anyone, would look at her like that. Isn't that what anyone little girl is supposed to want. To be loved by someone.
The wedding march is playing again breaking her thoughts again. Turning to duck out of the church before Andromeda can see her sitting there she finds her path blocked by a frowning Bellatrix.
"What are you doing here?" Bellatrix tosses at her like back when they were younger and she'd done something she shouldn't have. "I thought father and mother had said none of us would be in attendance."
Narcissa doesn't know how to answer. Their parents had said that none of them would attend Andromeda's wedding but she thought she owed it Andromeda as her sister to be present today.
"Bella," Narcissa began but was quickly cut of by Bellatrix grabbing her arm and dragging her down the steps of the church before either woman was seen.
"You've betrayed your family by coming to this blood traitor's wedding," was the blunt statement from Bellatrix once they were well out of sight. "Why shouldn't I tell our parents?"
"It won't happen again, Bella," Narcissa said tears flowing down her cheeks. "It's just...it's just...she's our sister. Even though she is a blood traitor. She's still our sister and we promised each other when we were younger we'd be there for each other's weddings."
"That promise ended when she choose him over us."
Narcissa knows there is no arguing about with Bellatrix on this point so she stops. She follows Bellatrix back home knowing when her sister tells what she's done Narcissa is as good as disowned too. But to her surprise Bellatrix doesn't tell on her and she knows that Bellatrix will hold this over her head for the rest of her life.
I hope you all enjoyed Narcissa's Betrayal.
