Flower
Narcissa has always been the flower of our family. Small and delicate dad and mum have always spoiled her more than Andy and I. At first I really didn't care to much, I just got used to the idea that my sister got more than me and in the beginning years of my life that wasn't a bad thing. Then I started Hogwarts and the problems started to come. Every time I would write home to mum and dad about what was going on at school all they would have to say is that's great honey. If this wasn't bad enough they then went on to talk about Cissy for the rest of the letter. By the end of my first year my resentment had built up so much when I got back home for the summer I beat Cissy up. Off course dad took Cissy's side and I was grounded for two weeks. I didn't give a damn really I needed to burn off the steam that had been brewing for months. This continued all through our Hogwarts years and I fully understood after dad stood up for Cissy like that Andy and I would always be the dirt and Cissy the flower. I supported her, gave her a lot of advice, and when Lucius tried to use her let's just say I made it so he never hurt her again. She was and is my sister so I don't know why I'm finding it so hard to support her here when she needs it the most. Today Cissy gave birth to her son Draco. For some reason though I can't bring myself to hold the child because I'm afraid I might kill it.
"Bella come on" Cissy whines in her normal tone, "just hold him for a minute he'll love you." I shake my head no and sit in the chair next to her bed; it's where I have been poached for the last two days. I helped Cissy through this like I helped her with everything else; the finals, the boys, and every problem she's ever had. The only thing is now that she's gone through all this pain and had this child I can't seem to relate to her. I don't have a baby, but I've always wanted one.
"Bellatrix Narcissa is right you should hold the baby." Lucius comes in the room and takes his son out of Cissy's arms. "It would be good for you." I just shake my head no and look down.
"What is it Bella, do you not like kids?" I stand up tears threatening to brew out of my eyes.
"It's not that I don't like kids Cissy it's just I don't have one." At that I storm out of the room leaving them awestruck. I apparate home and begin to cry in the solitary prison of home. I've got to come to terms with what happened though, because Cissy is the flower and I am the dirt.
Later that day after I wallow a little more at home I apparate back to Malfoy Manor. When I walk in Cissy's room she smiles and hands me little Draco. I take him with open arms and he looks at me funny. He won't ever remember this moment, but I sure will. I've always been good with remembering things and meeting people for the first time is definitely one of them. When he starts to peck at my breast I hand him back to Cissy.
"I think he might be hungerey." Cissy chuckles and she pulls down her shirt and allows Draco to latch onto her breast. She looks up at me with her piercing blue eyes and her face gets quite serious.
"Thank you Bella for everything." I nod and walk out of the room. The flower is standing tall as the dirt manages to keep her steady.
