Block

I want to play with Cissy's blocks I'm quite envious of her. Even though I'm six I can't help, but want to steal those colorful blocks. The deep reds and brilliant blues they all seem to call to me. Come play with us Bellatrix we don't like your sister she chews on us. I'm foolish enough to listen to the blocks, and I creep downstairs to play with them.

"Bella you know mum wouldn't approve." I turn around and see Andy with her hands on her hips. She likes to be so bossy sometimes.

"It's none of your business what I play with. Besides their just blocks they're completely harmless." She just rolls her eyes and walks away. Who cares what she thinks because I really don't. I stack the blocks by color, then by shape, and then finally I just jumble them together so they form a sort of a rainbow.

"Bella what are you doing." I turn and see Cissy at the door her little pin curls look perfect; mum must have just done her hair.

"I'm playing what does it look like I'm doing." She gives me a glare, and then I see a little glimmer in her eyes.

"They are my blocks Bella" she whines, and then the tears comes. She lets out a wail, and I groan this isn't going to be pretty.

"Narcissa what's wrong?" That's mum and I hear her footsteps as she runs for Narcissa. It's always Cissy this, Cissy that, it truth Cissy is just a cry baby who happens to be pretty. Mum finally reaches the room and looks down at Cissy.

"What's wrong honey?" She gives me a side glance then looks up at mum.

"Bella is playing with my blocks." Mum turns and looks at me.

"Bellatrix why are you playing with your sister's blocks?" I look at her glaring, I'm sick of being the bad girl.

"I wanted to mum, that's why." She looks at me growing angrier by the minute.

"Don't get smart with me Bellatrix; now apologize to your sister." I look to the blocks, then to Cissy, then to mum. I'm not doing this anymore prissy Cissy can learn to get over me playing with her blocks.

"No mum, I think Cissy should learn to share."

"Bellatrix come on I don't have time for this today." Now mums starting to sound like Cissy.

"Mum I don't think it's fair that Cissy gets whatever she wants."

"Bellatrix don't speak like that, you get just as much as Cissy."

"No I don't mum"

"Don't whine Bellatrix now go to your room and when you can act your age come to me, and we'll talk."

"But mum" she is being so unfair. It's like I'm not even her child.

"Don't but mum me Bellatrix now off to your room." I stand my anger growing, I can't take Cissy's behavior anymore. Suddenly, a glass vase that's sitting on a table shatters. We all stare shocked at the sight, and I look at mum in fear. That was her favorite vase. For some reason though mum doesn't get mad. She actually smiles.

"Oh my god Cygnus!" she shouts and I hear dad running up the stairs. Great now I'm dead. Dad enters the room and looks at mum who points to the shattered vase.

"She didn't even touch it." Dad smiles with her, and now I'm really freaked out. Dad never smiles not even when Aunt Walburga goes home after a visit, and whenever she leaves it is always a happy time.

"Bella come here honey" dad says opening his arms me. I walk to him, and he gives me a big hug.

"I'm sorry Daddy I didn't mean too." He looks at me happiness in his eyes.

"I know Bella you just did magic." I stare back this is amazing me finally doing magic.

"I did magic?"

"Yes you did magic." I smile big and daddy hugs me even more. He turns back to mum who seems to have forgotten the entire block incident.

"How 'bout we get some ice cream?" Cissy looks up at mum shocked.

"Really mum" she asks "you mean it."

"Yes I mean it, this is a big deal." Mum gives me a big smile and dad stands patting down his robes.

"Narcissa how about you get Andromeda and we'll all go for ice cream." Cissy smiles and runs off.

"We're proud of you Bellatrix." Dad an mum both smile at me they are so proud of me, and I couldn't be happier.
