That summer the Black girls were treated to courtship lessons, and practice with Sirius of all people, Sirius felt this was punishment for rejecting Alecto, but on his defense Alecto was making things difficult by making fun of him and her former cousin Diana Padmore.

" Mother why are you making us do this if I'm already ready to marry Rodolphus and The Dark Lord has asked me to make a secret meeting after the wedding" Bella said
"Darling Bella, we are practicing for your wedding, we are Blacks, we act on certain standards, which is why you can't have your meeting, very respectable wizards will be there and not all of them agree with us, any association with illegal activities at a public wedding would be disastrous" Druella Black said
"Oh yeah and little stupid Sirius will be there, he can't be trusted, being a Griffindor and all, that house is full of blood traitors and mudbloods, and it is said that the Headmaster has been recruiting older students from that house to serve as members of some sort of resistance against the Dark Lord called the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius is a snitch, he could reveal crucial information to the enemy" Bella said.
"Too bad, Lucius and I actually wanted to meet the Dark Lord, Lucius is particularly interested in joining his ranks one day" Cissy said.
" you're crazy, you are all crazy, talking about joining this cult, but I guess this family is a cult already " Sirius said.
" Behave yourself young man, those Griffindumbs have already gotten to you, you will need to be well behaved for the wedding, and go with Alecto" Druella repeated.
"I could go with someone else to the wedding like, Cordelia Abbot, she is Andi's friend, a pure blood and I actually like her" Sirius said once again.
"Nonsense, the Abbots are softies, almost blood traitors, why Andi is in such bad company is her choice, but you my boy are the heir to our name, you need to be with someone that keeps you worthy of being that heir, that's why you are closely partners with the Carrows, they can tame you, sure Diana turned out to be a bad apple, and is now a half blood, but Alecto is still available and you're lucky they are willing to let you, from another house marry her" Druella said again

"Alecto is training with me to become a Deatheater maybe you can join her" Bella said.

"Didn't you just call me unreliable for being a Griffindor?" Sirius asked once again

"I won't rely any important information on training" Bella said

"I am done with this stupid lessons, I'll go upstairs to finish my homework" Sirius said blasting off

Andromeda went behind him
"I agree with you, you know, about our family's views being crazy and that Bella is part of a group of even crazier murderers and criminals but, just for Bella's wedding, try not to bring it up" she said to him.
" what do you care Andi, you have a partner you actually like and who wasn't condemned by one mistake, you'll be the perfect daughter of the house of Black, but I am stained, for being different, for being sorted into a different house, for thinking differently, for my match being disowned and abandoned, I dread every time I come back to this house" he said
"I fear coming here too, I have my own secrets Siri, and you know that"
"You still talk to him, Ted Tonks?"
" yes, I still do"
"Does Malcom know?"
"Sort of"
"Who knows?"
"Right now, you and the Padmores"

In a summer night at the beginning of August, the wedding between Bellatrix Black and Rodolphus Lestrange took place, all children from the house of black were to attend with their respective matches showing the strength of their commitment to blood purity in the next generation of their house, after the events of last year's sorting ceremony. But the events of that night would be the ones to lead to the eventual end of their purist line.
Alecto Carrow stepped on Sirius's feet constantly, almost on purpose which caused a big fight to erupt between him and his mother, seeng them Narcissa bowed to herself to make sure that her children would not suffer because of war and blood politics, that if it ever came to it she would choose her children before purity.
Regulus and Cassia Rosier were asking the newly weds about their lives as servants of The Dark Lord, despite his amusement there was a hint of fear in the young boy's eye. The newly weds themselves were love lacking as they knew their marriage was nothing more than a strategic move but their love and admiration truly lie with their master.

But the true tragedy that night occurred between Andromeda and Malcom, the most loving out of all the couples on the party, but with big problems ahead.
"So you wanted to talk to me about something?" Andromeda asked
"Yes, I can't marry you anymore" he blurted out
"What why?"
"My family, while they support blood purity, they don't like the way the war is going and want to send me away so I don't get hurt"
"But you can stay, if you marry me, Bella and Rodolphus will make sure you don't get hurt"
" you don't know that Andi, and there is something else... I actually like Cordelia, love Cordelia, you haven't really noticed as you've been distracted with your mysterious disappearances after classes"
Andromeda turned red she herself hadn't noticed her growing enjoyment of her evenings with Ted.
"I don't care what it is you do, but it gave me and Cordelia time to grow closer, and her parents are thinking of  sending her away too, so we thought of living in exile together, we will be transferring to Ilvermorny for our fourth year, I'm so sorry " he said before heading out.
Andromeda didn't feel as heartbroken ash she thought she would, she was actually happy for her friends, and that they would be away from the madness that the world around her was turning into. And she seemed to be alone facing it.
