A/N Decided to do a quick update! Had nothing to do and we have testing all this week so we have no homework. I should be updating frequently this week, considering all I have to do is writing or reading The Diary of Anne Frank. (Read that by the way! It's pretty good, considering how old she is when writing it.) There are some grammar mistakes, but I fixed the ones I found. If you find another, please contact me about it. I accidentally called Bellatrix a "He" last chapter. Sorry. Unfortunately, I'm too lazy to change it. Narcissa and Lucius are finally in this chapter! Yay! I realized that I hadn't written them in yet...so there ya go! Sorry for the long Author's Note. I promised you I'd stop doing that. Oh well. Anyways, PLEASE REVIEW! That's all I ask! TO THE DISCLAIMER!

Bellatrix glanced up at McGonagall with hazy eyes and gulped. Rodolphus followed.

"Do not gawk at me, Lestrange. Now let's go." She spoke frigidly. She turned before they could respond, walking quickly between the tables, cloak waving behind her as she went along. When she reached the end of the table, she turned, "Well? What are you waiting for now? Let's go!" She snapped shrilly. Rodolphus's eyes widened but didn't protest. Bellatrix rose from the bench, almost falling off of it in the process. They walked side by side as the odd trio left through the doors of the Great Hall. Before they walked through, Rodolphus turned around to glance at Rabastan, giving him a 'Help me' look.

Rabastan chuckled, "I'm glad they got in trouble for once." Andromeda smiled.

At the moment, a pale girl with white blonde hair made their way over to Rabastan and Andromeda. Narcissa. She was on the arm of none other than Lucius Malfoy. Lucius must have put something in his blond hair to make all the comb marks stick out. His hair looked like a field that had just been recently tilled. The two of them had their chins held high. They held an air of intimidation whenever you were near them. It made chills shoot up your spine. Despite this, Andromeda flashed them a smile.

"Cissy! Sit down," Andromeda exclaimed. She patted the seat on her left, and Narcissa immediately left Lucius's arm. She pulled her into a warm hug. What a difference from the both of them just a few moments ago.

Andromeda looked up at Lucius to see him and Rabastan shaking hands. Oh, how they could change their personalities in just a matter of seconds. Lucius took a seat on Rabastan's right as Narcissa began to speak frantically.

"What happened with Bella? Why did the Scottish Bitch take her and Roddy away? Do you know what they did? Do you? Do you?" She questioned. Andromeda blinked.

"First off, watch your language. You're only in third year, and you know more than I did at your age. Second off, I have an idea, but I personally think it's none of your business."

"None of my business," Her eyes flashed in rage. Andromeda's eyes widened and she backed away from her a bit, "None of my business? How can you say it's none of my business? She's our sister! Is she in trouble? Expelled?" She shouted.

Lucius look troubled and put a hand on her shoulder in a comforting motion, "Calm down, Cissy. Listen to what she has to say." He spoke to her gently as if she was a small child. Andromeda and Rabastan exchanged disgusted glances. Unfortunately though, this seemed to calm Narcissa down. She offered him a warm smile. Her eyes brightened.

"I'm sorry, Andy. I apologize for speaking to you in that way," She spoke dreamily, her eyes never leaving his. They stood simultaneously, never taking their eyes off the other, and slowly walked to where they were sitting before.

"Okay then. That was completely normal," Rabastan smirked.

"Agreed," Andromeda chuckled heartily, "I hope I'm not like those two."

"You probably will." Rabastan spoke so softly there was a possibly he didn't even speak at all. Andromeda glanced over at him in confusion. Soon after realization dawned on her, and her cheeks blushed a crimson red.

"I uh- think I'll get my books for class." She stuttered. Rabastan rose.

"Would you like me to carry your books," He offered. "Please?"

"Uh- no thanks. I think I'll be fine. You can walk me to class though."

"Oh okay then. I'll see you in a few minutes then." He tried to hide his pain but his eyes betrayed him.

She offered him a quick smile and swiftly took off through the doors Bellatrix and Rodolphus had walked out of not ten minutes ago.

Back in the girl's dormitory, Andromeda grabbed the books she had thrown the previous night with shaky hands. Of course she knew what Rabastan had meant. A blind muggle man in New Jersey knew what she saw! Of course Rabastan liked her. A lot of people did. Including that Hufflepuff Mudblood, Ted Tonks.

Andromeda realized her sister had been sitting in an armchair against the opposite wall reading as she had come in, her dark eyes now narrowed suspiciously over the spine of a leather-bound book. Andromeda's eyes widened.

"What happened? What did he say?" She asked curiously sitting down in the armchair on her right. Bellatrix sighed dramatically.

"Last night. Do you remember when I tripped over Filch's cat? Turns out it was McGonagall. Figures." Andromeda's furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

"But Rabastan and I were with you. Shouldn't we have gotten in trouble also?" Just speaking Rabastan's name made her remember her current predicament.

"We covered for you. Besides," Bellatrix sighed again as she shut the leather-bound book and sat up a little straighter in her chair, "It was Roddy and my language that really set her off. We just said it was Slake and Althea on Polyjuice Potion. How that old fool believed that, I'll never know. We got fifty points taken away each and detention for the next two weeks with Slughorn. Thank God we're a part of the Slug Club!" She flashed a grin.

"Well, gee, thanks Bella." Andromeda spoke, genuinely thankful. She offered her a small smile, "Did you talk to Narcissa? She's been frantic since McGonagall took you two." Bellatrix frowned and shook her head.

"No, I haven't. I'm sure I'll find her sometime today. So, are you staying at Hogwarts for Christmas? Mother and Father haven't said anything about vacations. At least not to me. Have you gotten an owl by chance?" Andromeda shook her head.

"No, I haven't. I'm going home anyway. By the way, is there a ball we're attending this year?"

"Hopefully not. I wouldn't be attending anyway. I don't care what Mother and Father have to say." Bellatrix spoke smug-faced. Andromeda raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow. She blinked.

"I didn't think we were to have one anyway."

"Good." She finished, looking over her manicured nails, occasionally picking at her nail beds. Andromeda sighed and stood.

"How'd you get in here anyway?" Andromeda questioned suspiciously, never taking her eyes off her face. She shrugged.

"Wasn't that hard honestly. You should try sneaking in Rabastan's sometime." Bellatrix smirked, never looking up from her nails. Andromeda blushed bright red and left the room without turning back.

I can honestly say that I hate this chapter. Not my best. This is also a little shorter than the other chapters. I apologize. I'll try to make it longer next time! GO CLICK THAT REVIEW BUTTON RIGHT NOW! *Cough* Sorry. REVIEW!
