It has a "fluffy dark" part in this chapter and a lot o sibling love
With all the holidays fuss and spending time in Grimmauld Place Narcissa hadn't the opportunity to question anyone about this big secret that apparently involved her.
At Christmas morning the three Black sisters were up at 6 a.m under the tree, for anyone who didn't know better it looked like the perfect picture, the ones who did know though could tell that behind all that were one sister who jokes and games bordered cruelty, one sister that was heavily beaten by her father for the often disagreements about race, and one sister who was so deep in her parents views that she molded herself in it. But at that time they looked as any other children. Narcissa had gotten gifts from all her school friends, and some family members when she opened all her father called her into his office
"Please sit down Narcissa, your mom and I still have a gift to deliver to you" - Her father said pouring himself a glass of Fire Whiskey as her mom spied at a glass of Elf Wine - "First thing congratulations on your Hogwarts beginning, we knew it, of course, that you would be in Slytherin, but your behavior has been, we're assuming since we're still to receive a letter saying otherwise, different from your sisters I must say" - He finishes
"Yes, congratulations my daughter we always knew the proud you would bring us" - Her mother chipped in
"Oh thank you dad, mom" - She didn't knew what she could say anymore
"Yes Narcissa and this kinda of behavior brings attention to yourself my child, good attention" - Her father speaks once more
"Hum I don't understand, has any teacher said something good?" - Now she was confused
Her mom softly giggles as her father continues
"No, not teachers, but you see, the last month was a month of bigs negotiations for me, the biggest I have made in my hole life and you were a key piece of this agreement"
"Sorry dad but I don't know anything about business, how could I be an important part of it?" - She was completely lost if only he were more clear
"The business I made were with Abraxas Malfoy and his son Lucius, our agreement was that you and Lucius must marry with which other"
...
She couldn't breathe, this wasn't happening, it wasn't real, she must be still sleeping, she must be at fucking Hogwarts but she wasn't here at her father's office receiving this death news
"What?!" - She squeaked, giving zero fucks about manners
"Oh sweet your father doesn't mean right now, he means in a couple of years when you finish school or when Lucius finishes, if he prefers that way, in this case you will have to drop school of course but you already will have your OWLs it will be more than enough" - Her mother states confusing Narcissa panic
"I have to laid down, excuse me" - She just wanted to get out
"Wait, one more thing, Lucius send this to you, he expects you to use at his New Year's Party" - Her father said handing her a red box, that she knew it to be from a fancy jewelry in muggle world. She grabbed the box not bothering to open, much to her mother dismay and ran
Once in the safety of her bedroom she cried for what it feel it like hours until she heard someone knocking on her door
'Go away' - She pleaded in her mind feign asleep
"I know you're wake you know" - Her visitor decided to come in anyway
"Please Bella leave me alone, if you have any good in you please conjure a snake so it bites me in the chest, just like Cleopatra's suicides, so I can die young and beautiful and not a Malfoy's vil mercy" - She said suck in even more on her bed
"Dramatic much? C'mon Cissy" - Her sister laughed
"I'm deadly serious, I'll kill myself before he lays his hands on me, Bella I would prefer to marry a filthy mudblood as Andromeda boyfriend than marry him" - She exclaims
"Don't be stupid and don't tell stupids things like this never again" - Now the older sister hadn't a trace of smile in her face - "Now listen to me, you can hate the guy's guts, but Cissy you got the best deal in the Black history. You see since dad arranged your marriage he been insufferable with me telling that I must behave or he will marry me with Regulus, but he being younger would get me old and shit, but little he knows that soon enough someone will come asking for my hand" - Bellatrix, in a rare moment of affection said laying her sister in her lap and gently running her fingers trough Narcissa's hair
"Oh Merlin do you fancy someone? Tell me who he is!" - Narcissa turned a little to look at the older with
"You totally missed the point Cissy. I don't fancy anyone, in fact I couldn't care less about him that's what I'm trying to tell you. You don't need to like your future husband just suck it up and accept, so you'll be free of people bothering you" - Bellatrix proceeds to tell
"But that's not right, that's so sad in fact, I want ..." - Narcissa started only to be interrupted
"To be in love, c'mon now Cissy how many purebloods couples do you actually know that are in love?" - Not receiving any response Bella continued - "See it's only about continuing the 'pureness', that's all"
The older sister decided to let it sink in, she knew that Narcissa had a tendency to make everything a perfect picture in her head, but someone had to take that way from her and in Bella's mind it was best that she did herself
"Changing the subject I have a gift for you, well you and stupid Andromeda" - Bellatrix said picking a bag that she had put on the floor when she entered - "ANDROMEDA!" - She then proceeded to shout out of the top of her lungs until her twin was in the room
"What do you want?" - Andromeda said standing at the door
"For someone who depends on us to keep your secret you quite a bitch don't you think? Get in now and close the door" - Bella said
Without saying anything Andromeda did what she was told and sat at the end of the bed as Narcissa watched the exchange between the two
"Alright I got something for you, something for the three of us actually" - Bella then proceed to show her sisters three silver bracelets and six identical white circle stone charms - "Okay so each one of us gets a bracelet and two charms, in te future you can put more if you wish, but the fun is that we're going to do magic in these, blood magic" - She finally states conjuring three glass cups, putting two charms in each, and a knife
"What?!" - Both of the other sisters exclaimed
"Don't be chickens and since I spend thousands of galleons buying this shit you going to do exactly what I say" - She didn't even gave the others time to protest - "You see we're are going to get a cut and fill the glass with blood until the charms are sunken, then we do the spell and if it works the charms will get our essences so it always will change colors according to our moods, this way we can always keep track of each other and if any is in trouble we can see and help"
Narcissa and Andromeda were stunned, the blood magic was something they would expect from Bellatrix, she was crazy like that, but the reason behind it was far to caring for her character
"So are we doing this or what?" - Bella was already with the knife and was getting inpatient
"Alright, but I can't cut myself so Andromeda will do it for me, I don't trust you with a knife" - Narcissa gather the courage and pick the knife from Bella's hand and gave to Andromeda - "Watch out for the important veins" - She warned handing her arm
Andromeda then proceeded to make a deep cut and soon enough the blood was going down in the first cup soaking two charms. Narcissa fell it as she going to pass out, in fact there was a lot of blood coming out of her, when she was about to Andromeda murmured a healing spell successfully closing the cut. The other two sisters proceeded cutting her selves and soon all the cups were filled with each Black sister blood.
"Okay now we make a circle, put the glasses in the middle and chant this enchantment" - Bellatrix than shows the girls a book - "Got it?"
When both nodded their heads they started
"Sanguis enim connexa sunt, apud nos sunt et sanguis. Animo nostro, est in hoc lapide" - The three chanted and with the last phrase the charms started to suck the blood. When all blood were gone the charms were completely red for a second before started to turn in different colors
Narcissa's were light grey with a bright yellow, Andromeda's were almost the same except that her grey was a lot more dark and Bellatrix's were just bright yellow. All the girls just magicallyknew it what it meant it, the grey was beacause they were sad with something and the yellow were from excitement
"You two are bummers, we just do the coolest thing and you still managed to get upset" - Bella scolded - "Alright give me one of your charms, here are mine put in the bracelet"
Then all was ready each and sister had a bracelet with the other two moods charms, they stayed in Narcissa's room each lost in their own heads
"What's in the fancy box?" - Andromeda asked noticing the box that her father had gave Narcissa early
"Lucius gift, don't know, don't care" - Narcissa rolled her eyes
Ignoring her sister Andromeda opened the box and gasped
"Cissa you have to look at this!"
I guess it's the longest, but is also the last one that I had ready
