Chapter Text
- You are fucking dead to me.
That was the last thing Narcissa said to Andromeda the night she left.
She thought she could hate her, she really did, she thought it would ease the pain. But it didn't.
Narcissa still stared at the drawing of them with a gaping hole inside her heart.
Bellatrix Black...now Lestrange
Andromeda Black...now Tonks
And Narcissa Black... still a Black.
When she got to the train station that year, it was the first she'd ever been alone in her compartment. She looked out of the window to see first years nervously looking around, second years and third years laughing with their friends and fifth year angrily studying for their O.W.L.S.
Narcissa was in sixth year, everyone had made friends by that point, even the weirdos. But she didn't, and it wasn't even because she only ever hung out with her sisters because she didn't, they had friends and she respected that. She had just never wanted friends. She was just fine on her own, or she thought.
Suddenly the compartment's door opened and she was brought back to reality. Between the two glass doors was standing a girl, she had short uneven brown hair, brown eyes and a big smile. They both stared at eachother for a while until the girl said :
- Hey I'm Alice, do you mind if me and my friends come I'm here because everywhere else is full ?
- Okay .answered Narcissa.
As the girl sat down Narcissa noticed how much different they looked. Alice had a tan and chubby body when Narcissa's was pale and thin almost sick looking. Even their way of dressing, Narcissa was only allowed to wear dress and only in black green and white, she to represent the family Black after all. Alice on the other hand was wearing light green overalls with a white shirt under, she had god knows how many pins and even her eyeliner was uneven.
The door opened again and a guy walked in, Narcissa only knew him by names because he was in the Gryffindor quiditch team.
- Frank ! Finally !! Where were you ?
- Since you didn't tell me which compartment you where going in I had to look in every one of them.
- And whose that ? Asked Frank looking at Narcissa.
- Oh yeah sorry, that's Narcissa Black, she was nice enough to let us stay in-
- Wait Black, as in Sirius Black ? You're Sirius's cousin.
- Come on Alice let's get out of here. He said already getting Alice's bag.
No it's fine Frank come on I don't want to stay with Mand.
- Oh really ? Frank was starting to shout and it was not helping Narcissa's headache. You know what Sirius says about his family right ? You'd rather stay with her, he said pointing at Narcissa, rather than Mand ?
Narcissa didn't say anything. She was wondering what her sisters would've done, Bellatrix probably would've thrown a curse at him and Andromeda would have apologized for her family's actions and they would've became friends and blablabla..
But none of them were here and Narcissa was alone.
- Frank shut up quickly said Alice clearly trying to shut him up. Go ride with Mand and I'll stay here.
Frank opened and closed his mouth like he was about to stay something. The two best friends looked at each other and Longbottom finally left. But neither of them seemed angry.
Narcissa was angry tho, but not at Frank, she couldn't care less what Frank Longbottom thought of her. She was angry at herself. Why did she have to look so different, why did she let Bellatrix protect her. And why didn't she protect Sirius and Regulus. But most of all why did she let her go, how could she ? How could she let Andromeda leave and not even try to get her to stay, even worse, she told her to go. Her back still hurted from the punishment she took in the morning her parents realized she was gone.
