Bellatrix, Andromeda and Narcissa Black curiously
inspecting a muggle car… before being
told off swiftly and ushered away from
such an offensive item.

Lovely art. Wow, Ashely Benson looks lovely in that set. :eek:

Then perhaps during their teenage years, that's when Andromeda saw things differently. I would love to read an extensive fic for these sisters until their teenager years. :sigh:

Quote:

She can only see her sister’s curtain of hair now, Andromeda’s head bowed and back curled under the weight of her loss, and Narcissa does not know how families can rip themselves apart in such cruel and painful ways.

The Black sisters had loved each other once. Now one lay dead, a victim of her own madness and obsession. One sat on the floor of a world emptied of all meaning but the crying, motherless child in her arms. And one…Narcissa alone has escaped. Not from pain, for she has known much of that, but from the utter devastation that has brought low the last daughters of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black.(One Last Lullaby)

I wonder how Narcissa & Andromeda reacted to Bellatrix' death? Andromeda might have been estranged from her but I'm curious if her death had any impact on her.

I think Narcissa would have grieved. For Andromeda, I think her reaction to Bellatrix's death would have been a billion times more complicated. I think she grieved for the person she was once close to and loved. However, I don't think she was sorry to see Bellatrix, as she was in 1998, gone. Particularly, since Bellatrix murdered her daughter, & everything Bellatrix stood & fought for ended her husband's life (I have my suspicions that Bellatrix actually murdered Ted too; since Ted & Dean were traveling together, & Dobby rescued Dean from Malfoy Manor.).

I think this quote "I miss who we once were. I don't miss who (s)he became." sums up Andromeda's feelings about Bellatrix.

I think I heard it when I was watching TV, but I can't remember which show or if I just heard something similar, and then twisted it in my head to fit the Andromeda/Bellatrix situation.

I'll post an Andromeda and Molly fanfic in the Andromeda thread that touches on Bellatrix, but focuses more on her grief for Ted and Dora & Molly's grief for Fred.

Here's an Andromeda and Narcissa fanfic, Five Times, that spans from after Andromeda left to four years after the 2nd war.

Headcanon: The Black Sisters

The Black Sisters were a source of confusion for Ted. They knew him and he knew them, but they never spoke. That is, until Andromeda and Ted became friends.

Ted knew that The Black Sisters were important and that they were ranked. He realized that Bellatrix was considered the most important, what with brains to spare and magical talent that even some of the professors envied, it wasn’t a very big surprise. But she was harsh, some said she didn’t even have a heart. She spared no one. Bellatrix was not one to be taken lightly. Ted kept his distance.

Narcissa came next. With her fair hair and bright blue eyes, she stood out of The Black Sisters, attracting a lot of attention. Especially male attention. She was beautiful, Ted wasn’t going to deny that fact. But yet again, she was too cold-hearted. She hardly ever showed emotion and when she did, it was usually disgust or anger. Narcissa seemed to be the princess of the family. Being the youngest, it wasn’t unusual. Ted also kept his distance.

Narcissa and Bellatrix were clearly the most ‘important’ Black Sisters. No one could deny such an obvious fact. They were also the cruelest, and the hardest. And also the most Slytherin like. But then, there was the middle sister.

Andromeda wasn’t like her sisters. Sure, she resembled Bellatrix but there was nothing similar about them. Ted was aware of this fact. When he first met Andromeda in third year, he had spent months looking at her from a distance. She had a beauty that he thought shone much more brightly that Bellatrix’s and Narcissa’s. She was beautiful outside and inside. Andromeda was much more like Sirius than her sisters. This was what the other two lacked. Andromeda didn’t stick up her nose when Ted spoke to her. She never called him a mudblood. She never hurt anyone, even though Ted knew she had the ability and the skill to do so.

The Black Sisters never made much sense to Ted. They were always bickering with each other, they didn’t have a sisterly bond. They were hardly ever together. To Ted, they didn’t seem like a family at all. Never in a million years did Ted think that they would be his sister-in-laws.

Yay thanks! I will find time to read this. :) I agree on Narcissa's reaction. I'd like to say Andromeda was more conflicted but she's definitely not-so sorry because of what Bellatrix has become.

I like this head canon post. Narcissa/Bellatrix might have been so upstanding and Andromeda is nothing like them. I would love to get insider her head and know what she felt that time. :sigh:

I would love to see a book or tv series about the Black sisters when they were growing up at home and at Hogwarts. Also I would like to read or see the moment when they separated from Andromeda.

I like the head cannon post. The person did a good job of expressing themselves. I like the pictures they used too. :)

You're welcome, Lindsay! :)
