Sister Sister

"I remember me falling just before we got to the swings and skinning my knee. That was horrible." she said softly.
Ashley chuckled a bit at the memory and went back to those days in her head. The days where they could be carefree and didnt have to worry about anything else but those says are over and deep down inside Ashley wants those days back. She remembered it as if it was yesterday. Ashley and Alexis would run to the swings because they both loved the swings and would both always try to be the first there. One time, Alexis fell down right before she got to the swings and Ashley picked her up and bandaged it and took care of Alexis for the rest of the day. They had a real friendship and a good sister relationship back then.
" They were good times - What happened to us? Not just us but everyone else - what happened to everyone? what happened to this family? " Ashley said sadly

"Power."

That was Alexis' answer to Ashley's questions about their family. "Power and money. Those are the main reasons why our family had grown apart. That and pride. If we get sorted into a certain house we are outcasted, if we don't do something the way dad wants us too, we're outcasted. It all works that way with the d'Eaths. All we can do is cope with it." she said softly.

When she said if they get sorted into a certain house, she was talking about Damitrius. The girl was basically outcasted from the family because she was sorted into Gryffindor. Their father wasn't the one who did it though, in fact he could care less, it was Damien and the other Slytherin members of the family who had outcasted her. And though she won't show it, Alexis knew her younger sister struggled with that. Because of that sudden hate towards her, she'd begun to show interest in the Dark Arts and even in the Dark Followers, she wanted to fit in with their family, but she was a part of Potter's Army, so she wasn't sure how Damitrius was going to deal with that.

She sighed softly, and with the second part she was basically talking about herself. Her father wanted them all to be a part of something that she didn't want to be a part of. That was why she'd chosen not to move into what used to be called Malfoy Manor. She still preferred to keep her distance, she only went there when there was a Death Eater meeting and even then she was a bit reluctant to go in. "All the greed and cruelty that goes on in the family ruined it more than we know." she said sadly.
