Narcissa | Cassiopeia
What separates us from them is their attitudes to our family, our values and traditions. They don't want to be part of it. Look at what Sirius said to you. There are times when I've hated things that our family has done, Narcissa. Truly. And I'd still never have publicly criticised them, let alone mocked them. There's no excuse for it.
But I don't want to argue with you. Andromeda and I are on civil terms now but I don't think of her the way I do of you.
Narcissa if I tell you what happened to me, will you promise to keep it between us? I think it will help you to understand, but I truly couldn't bear it if everyone found out. It's all rather shameful.
