"Can you believe the nerve of that blood-traitor?" Bellatrix fumed, as she paced around the drawing room, her wand sparking in her hand as she smashed some of the family heirlooms that had been placed there for decoration and boasting rights more than sentimental reasons. "I'm going to speak to my Lord about her behaviour and see if he'll allow me the pleasure of teaching her a lesson!"

Her frustrated sister left in a whirl of robes and floo powder, an event that occurred so quickly, Narcissa's eyes could barely track the movement.

It was clear to everyone how Bellatrix was coping with the family betrayal and that was intense anger and hatred. Though they hadn't been as close as they'd used to be in the past few years, it was still a betrayal to her and the Black name. It was completely unforgivable in Bellatrix' books.

In Narcissa's, however, it wasn't quite as dire as that.

She'd spoken to her sister before hand, had been made aware of the coming reveal of the relationship. Though her reaction to the surprise hadn't been as disastrous as Bellatrix', it had still had some painful moments.

"Cissy," Andromeda gasped. "You can't possibly mean that?"

"Mean what?" she hissed in fury. "Mean the fact that if I was ever to see you again that I'd curse you to Hell and back? Oh, dear sister, I mean it with all my heart! You've betrayed us, abandoned all of our family beliefs for some filth that you found on the floor of Hogwarts."

"Don't speak about my husband like that."

"Husband? Oh, you've already taken the step to becoming filth like him. Well, he can keep you and you can keep your half-blooded filth children to yourselves for I want no part of their lives."

"Neither do I," Andromeda commented coldly, taking one last look at her younger sister before apparating away from her.

Maybe one day she'll find it in her to apologise for what she'd said; she'd had a stressful day that morning by finding out that she was contracted to marry Malfoy and had spent all afternoon with Bellatrix, bathing in her insanity.

Maybe one day Andromeda would find it in her heart to forgive her.
