Upstairs, in the master bedroom of Malfoy Manor, Narcissa Malfoy sat, staring at the two letters that had just been left in her care. Both from her estranged sister. Her sister. Who had left because of reasons she kept to herself, ones she took to the grave. And as angry as she was, secretly, she hoped that all of her answers would be found within these envelopes. It was as Kingsley said, Bella would want nothing to do with her letter. But it couldn't hurt to go and visit her. To read it to her. Even if it upset her. Bella had a right to know whatever the reasons for her disappearance were. She did. So trembling she took Bella's letter and opened it and began to read.

My dearest Bella-

I know that I write this in vain because you would never want anything to do with me, or anything associated with me but I must write you, I have to. You, were always so strong, brave, always the one to try something new first. I envied you for that trait. I wish that I could've been like that. Even now, as I lay her in my bed, looking up at the ceiling I think of all thing amazing things I could have done had I been more courageous, been more like you. You and I, we never truly got along, but I loved you. I never knew if you really ever loved me. But I loved you, don't ever doubt that. There was a time, I'm not sure if you knew, but you were to marry Lucius, not me, and most definitely not Cissy. You know that daddy always gave me what I wanted, and I know how much that upset you, I'm sorry. I never truly saw that it was unfair, not until I had children of my own. It was selfish of me. I'm sorry. Anyways, on with my story. Daddy wanted you to marry Lucius, said that your thirst for power would be good, and that I would be allowed to go off on my own and create a name for myself and settle down later. But when I found out that you were to be given to Lucius, I couldn't do that. I knew how much you cared for Rod… So I told daddy that I'd marry Lucius, that you should be allowed to continue on your course with Rod, and he agreed. Somewhat half heartedly but mum said that no matter what, one Black would be wedded to the Malfoy's, and that was the goal. They wanted that out, you knew that. Then, I found out, about two years before I was to wed Lucius that I was pregnant. You see Lucius had convinced me to sleep with him and I ended up with child. I freaked out, how could I tell mum, dad? I couldn't. Our name was already dirt and I didn't think that our family could stand for there to be any more bad publicity. So I cute a deal with Ted. That if I came to live with him, gave him two sons to continue on the name, that-that he would marry me. Provide me an escape from our world so that I could have my children without embarrassing Lucius, his family, and ours. In retrospect, no matter what, I would have embarrassed us, but at the time and now I stand by my actions. You see, I was never as deep into the whole pureblood agenda than everyone else was. I suppose that was the Ravenclaw in me, all the knowledge that I gained. Father saw it but said nothing. Anyways, that was a part of the reason why I left, but mostly I didn't want to embarrass Lucius or mum and daddy. I love Lucius, I always did and Ted knew, but that didn't matter. As long as I stuck to the deal it didn't matter. I knew that Cissy would be a good match for Lucius, she compliments him well I'm sure. My one regret is that we couldn't continue to grow together. I'm sorry for being such a horrid older sister, I just thought I did the right thing. Did you know daddy wanted Cissy to marry Amaycus? He did. It was disgusting. Now, even though I've caused all this strife in my life, yours, everyone's, I'm glad because my baby sister isn't a Carrow, thank Merlin for that.

My loving, crazy, and energetic sister. I hope that someday you can learn to forgive me and I am truly sorry about everything that I caused you. Please know that I love you and I always will. To this day, I love you and will always be there for you. I don't know if you will ever read this, but if you do, please, I pray, that you can learn to forgive me. I love you and no matter what path you chose in this life, I am proud of you for committing yourself and staying the course. You were a joy to be around while I was still a Black. I know that you're there, taking care of Cissy, and I think, I think that you are the best one for that job. She was always such a beautiful little handful. Enjoy each other, you never know when one of you might be gone.

I love you. Forever and ever.

PS: My daughter, Nymphadora, she's an Auror now. Her middle name is Belladonna by the way. In honor of you. I love you.

"Oh Andy… You must have been so sad all of these years." Next, she took her letter out of it's case and looked at it. It seemed so heavy in her hands, the weight of her sisters world was left within these two envelopes. Ones that she most likely never planned on giving to her or Bella in person. Ones to give only after her passing. Striking up the courage and pushing back the tears, she opened the letter addressed to her and began to read.

My precious Cissy,

As much as I'd love to give you an explanation why I left I know that it would be a waste of pen and paper because you have already gone and read Bella's letter. You were always sneaky like that. And I loved you for it, even if it drove me crazy at times. It was one of your more endearing traits, I'm pleased to see that, that hasn't dissipated with age or marriage. I would like to ask how are you? And pretend to get a response that goes something like this,

"Me? Oh I'm fine. Lucius is Lucius, just working at the Ministry all day, then coming home and going to straight to his study, or the library. I do wish that he would come spend some time with me in the tea room, but to even ask is a fruitless point. Andy you should really come visit, come see Draco he is so adorable. He looks just like his father, truly it's as though they are one and the same. Maybe our children could play together? That would be lovely. How are you? Have you gone and accomplished any of your dreams? You were always the dreamer between us. Bella was just here, ranting and raving about you know what and you know who. But what can you do? That's Bella…"

And so on. Or that's what I'd like to think your letter to me would be like. But then again, I wouldn't know if that's the case because we never spoke, not once after my departure. I apologize for my hasty disappearance and my deceitful ways. Regardless of what you were led to believe by my words and that of anybody else, I did not love Ted. I don't, I love Lucius. I know that writing you-his wife that seems odd, but you know that I always loved him, you have to, it was you that would always offer me advice, things you read in Witches Weekly. Everything I learned about me, I learned from you oh wise one. I was pregnant when I left. With my baby girl and boy, yes twins, but sadly, Ted was not so happy to hear that it was a male. One night he was drunk, we weren't so compatible after all, and well, he hit me, a few times in my stomach, I went into early labor and lost my baby boy. I named him Lucius Narcissian Malfoy, after you and Lucius of course. My little girl survived though, much to Teds chagrin, she was always a pain the arse in his eyes. I named her Nymphadora Belladonna Malfoy, although it will appear as Tonks to the rest of the world. Dumbledore does wonders, I'll never be able to thank her enough.

Narcissa, you were always my favorite, I hope that you know that and know that I have always loved you and I always will. You were such an amazing young women and I am truly sorry that I am not able to be there to watch you grow into the beautiful women that I know you are. I am truly sorry for all of the hurt that I caused you and I pray that you can learn to forgive your older sister for doing what she thought was best for her, you, and her baby. I'm sure you know now, that a child becomes everything to you. I love you and please learn to live life to the fullest everyday because you never know when it will be taken away. I love you. I always will and I will be there for you and know that even in my death, I'll be watching you and guiding you.

Continue to be that beautiful women that you are and the amazing wife and mother that you became. I love you and please, someday, learn to forgive me.

Your loving sister,

Andromeda Black

PS: No matter how redundant this is, I love you. Never ever forget that.

Lucius, who had been standing at the door way, saw his wife move from where she sat to the bed and began to cry. She sobbed, her shoulders shook and her pain echoed throughout the great room and out into the hallway, making his heart ache. He longed to go to her and console her, but he knew that this pain was not one that he could fix, one that could only fixed by a women that had long since passed into the veil. So instead of going to his wife, who was drowning now in her tears, he quietly shut the door and walked back down the hall, stopping only to gather his cloak, and to tell an elf that he was going out and to watch over his wife. And then he was gone.
