a second fill for you!

weaponry, the black sisters, pg-13. mentions of violence.

Their mother hates impropriety--this is a lesson they learn at an early age. They call themselves the sisters Black, as though they are the witches of old, the ones in fairy tales. (Andromeda tells them of a Muggle bard who included their kind in a play and Narcissa claps in delight whilst Bellatrix chastises their sister for sneaking behind their mother's back at the bookstore.) Not a word of this will reach the keen ears of their parents, no, it will remain a secret the three share. They spend their childhood days in finishing school disguised in soirees and governesses. Poise and manners are paramount and perfection is expected.

One day, Druella tells them that women have many weapons at their disposal, and when Narcissa speculates that crying gets her what she wants, their mother tuts and says tears are not a woman's only weapon.

It takes them years to discover their weapons of choice.

Bellatrix decides it's her beauty that will get her far in life. She worms her way into the Dark Lord's inner circle, secures a husband who cannot treat her as his inferior because she is stronger than him, more brutal than he is. She won't play the doting wife or loving mother and she knows how to mutilate and poison until she is no longer able to bear a child. She will be the Dark Lord's servant, not a child of hers.

Andromeda decides her best weapon is her mind. She abstains from the dark corners of her sister's imaginings and embodies Slytherin cunning. She develops ways to use her time most efficiently, but she drinks in knowledge like the eagles of Hogwarts do. It is her mind that catches the eye of one Theodore Tonks and she finds herself happier than she has ever been with her family's rules.

It is Narcissa that puts her weapon to the greatest use, the greatest sacrifice, though. She has ambition, is ambition. She plans to climb ladders to reach her goals and she won't cry over watching others fall so that she may take their places. But her mother demands continuation of the line and though she has always been the favourite, she never feels like it's enough. Her eldest sister begins a descent into madness and her favourite sister is disowned and the world now rests on her shoulders. She drops ambition and uses her greatest weapon to lure in the Malfoy heir and make her mother proud.

The best one's between your legs, after all.
