time skip to fifth year:

𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 talking to one of her best friends she had met on her first day; Narcissa Black. She had treated Estella with nothing but kindness regardless of Estella's belief based on blood status and purity. Which this is something only Estella knew, but Narcissa had felt the exact same way.

"And you know my sister, Andromeda, she's the same way. She had a crush on this boy, Ted, I think. Ted Tonks or something like that. I've always known that she doesn't believe much in the importance of blood purity. I had to act shocked when she told Bella and I. You know, there is this kid, he's a Ravenclaw. Over there." Narcissa gestured toward a handsome boy leaned against the wall. "I think I like him. Only a little bit though. Not that it makes a difference." She scoffed.

"Why?"

"Well, he's a Muggleborn, first of all. My parents would have put all my stuff on the streets the second they found out. And he's a Ravenclaw."

"I'm a Gryffindor and you hang out with me?" Estella said in a more questionable tone.

"Well, he's, but you're different. Even though our families consider you a 'blood traitor' or a 'disgrace' or whatever, you're still a family friend." Narcissa sighed. "I wish things were different for us. I wish we could be happy. I wish I could marry without needing the pureblood box checked off, if you know what I mean."

And it's true. Life wasn't fair for children like them. For them, they have their entire life planned ahead of them. Most pureblood families preform a marriage most between a relative, which disgusted Estella. Although most pureblood families were related somehow, there were a lot who weren't. She didn't want an arranged marriage, especially with a relative. Apparently, she had already had a couple of options, (that she does not choose from) but rather her parents. It was her parents decision on who she got to marry, not her own.

And at the time, due to these reasons, a lot of people got eloped. Estella really hoped that that wasn't the case for her, but if she had ever fallen in love, she would do it. She would run away to get married if it meant to be with someone she truly loved. Not a forced love; nor an arranged one.

"Oh and Essie? Can you give this to Sirius?" Narcissa asked, handing her a chocolate frog. "I'd give it to him myself as his birthday present for tomorrow, but if Bella caught us-"

"I get it, Cissy. I'll give it to him." Estella and Narcissa shared a smile.

"Thank you," She brought Estella into a tight hug. "It's his favorite."

"Yeah, I'll let him know it's from you. I'll make sure Bellatrix doesn't see."

"Thank you again, I owe you everything for everything." Narcissa grinned. "Love you. I'll see you later, Essie."

"Love you, too. Also, Lucius over there is staring."

"This is ridiculous. I've told him to leave me alone." Narcissa sighed.

"Good luck, Cissy."
