Family ties

by rambunctious child

Bellatrix LeStrange, the arguable insane, sadistic, and loyal follower of Voldemort. Andromeda Tonks the girl who turned her back on her family values for love. And Narcissa Malfoy, the wife of a Death-eater. These are the Black sister as we know them; as they are, but what about how they were? Who they were? A series of one-shots based on the Black sisters childhood.

June 4th 1966

(Bella 15, Andy 14)

Bellatrix pressed her nose against the glass of the display case, her breath fogging up the glass.

"You know that's a men's watch right Bella." Andromeda informed her sister, leaning over the top of the case beside her.

"It's beautiful." Bella breathed, rubbing the steam of the glass and continuing her staring.

"And it is-60 galleons." Andromeda read from the price tag. "Do you have 60 galleons?"

"No but I have ten fingers." Bellatrix grinned mischievously tapping on the glass.

"Bella don't you dare even think about it." Andromeda warned, pulling her sister away from the glass.

"Oh Andy relax, you already know it's too late. Once I set my mind to something it's done." Bellatrix informed, walking around the case, sliding her finger across the top as she stepped. Andromeda turned her head to see if anyone was watching, knowing there wasn't much use arguing. "Don't turn your head that way Andy, camera's watching."

Andromeda turned back to face her sister. "Is that why you like shopping at Muggle stores, no anti stealing charms."

"Camera's a lot easier to fool." Bellatrix shrugged, fastening the watch to her wrist, and pulling her sleeve over it.

"One day you're going to get caught," Andy began her customary speech as her sister led the way out of the store. "And when you do Bella, you are going to be in so much trouble."

"Andy, stop it." Bellatrix sighed, quickening her pace.

"Mum will be so disappointed and Dad just might kill you-" Andy ranted, stepping in front of her sister, demanding her attention.

"I said shut up Andy! God! Give me a break, it's not like I've got any money. Do you have any money? I know Mum and Dad don't. How do you think Cissy got those tap shoes she wanted, and you got that "Witches and the Warlocks" album. You're far too old to believe in Santa." Bellatrix spat, inches away from her sisters face.

"That doesn't mean I agree with it." Andromeda stated, crossing her arms in defiance.

"But you're not going to do anything about it so drop it." Bellatrix huffed, pushing past her sister and stomping along the sidewalk.
