Bellatrix Black knew what was expected of her. Coming from one of the noble and most ancient pureblood families, she had a legacy to carry on -- a legacy she'd never fulfill thanks to her sister's Mudblood best friend.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX the seven potters
.·:*¨༺ ☾ ༻¨*:·.
𝐈𝐓 𝐒𝐄𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐒 𝐈𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐃 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐖𝐎𝐍. The only one he ever feared – Dumbledore – was dead. People were disappearing left and right and turning up dead in the matter of days. Many had gone into hiding. It wasn't safe to step outside anymore.
But on a happier note, Tonks and Remus were now married and expecting their first child in a few months. Juniper had teased Ted and Andromeda about how they were old now since they were soon-to-be grandparents, to which Andromeda replied with a roll of her eyes and a scoff, but an amused smile on her face nonetheless.
It was the first time in several months that the atmosphere had been friendly between them. Juniper hadn't told Andromeda about how Bellatrix had helped her get Dorothea out of the castle the night Dumbledore was killed, but she had a feeling that her goddaughter might have mentioned something to her since she hadn't been giving her as hard a time about whatever their relationship was.
Not that Juniper and Bellatrix had been doing as much sneaking around as they did the past year. They'd run into each other once or twice a week, and occasionally Juniper would get a letter from Bellatrix telling her to meet her in a secret location only they knew where they wouldn't run the risk of any members of their side catching them.
Juniper still kept her guard up towards Bellatrix and Andromeda, but as the events of last Christmas became further and further away, she was slowly forgiving them every chance they got to prove that they were sorry for words that they said and things that they did.
Juniper even allowed a hug between her and Andromeda before she left with Tonks to meet the rest of the Order outside of Number 4 Privet Drive.
"Hello, Harry!" Hagrid greeted the boy with a bright smile when he answered the door. Ron ran forward to hug his best friend, Hermione behind him. "You're looking fit!"
"Yes, he's absolutely gorgeous," Mad-Eye growled as he limped forward and entered the house. "What say we get undercover before someone murders him?"
They gathered in the living room. Kingsley, who was supposed to be looking after the Muggle prime minister, told Harry that he was more important when he inquired about it. Bill Weasley introduced himself and revealed that the scar on his face was thanks to a werewolf named Greyback. Just as Tonks was getting ready to reveal her and Remus's exciting news, Mad-Eye barged in saying that they'd have time to catch up later.
"Potter, you're underage, which means you've still got the trace on you."
