"Hello." Elodie gets to her sisters before they can get to her.

Permalink

"Hello," Narcissa says.

Andromeda smiles. "Good evening - Elodie, right? Are you Bella's friend?"

Permalink

"Yes, that's right. And very pleased to meet the both of you, of course."

Permalink

"It's our pleasure," Narcissa says.

"It's good Bella has friends," Andromeda says, smiling more gently and glancing over to her older sister.

Permalink

"One finds they can be helpful for dealing with stress, and she has been under a great deal lately, as I'm sure you can imagine."

Permalink

Narcissa nods. "Still, surely she'd be willing to see us."

Andromeda takes her younger sister's arm. "Another day." Smile. "When we're not all sighing longingly for our beds."

Narcissa glances over at Andromeda, then sighs. "Another day."

"Perhaps you can arrange a meeting by post?"

"I'd be alright with that," Bellatrix says, softly.

Permalink

"Alright," Narcissa says, and lets her sister lead her away.

Permalink

Bellatrix relaxes a bit, sighing.

Permalink

"All right?"

Permalink

"Yeah."

"Let's get home."

Permalink

Excellent idea. Off to the floo.

Permalink

She relaxes fully once they're home, leaning into her girlfriend.

Permalink

Hug.

Permalink

Snuggle.

"Do you want to meet with your sisters?"

Permalink

"Eventually?"

"Just... Not now."

Permalink

"I just want to know if I need to start drafting a library of polite put-offs."

Permalink

She giggles. "No one would believe I wrote them."

Permalink

"Oh, are you British too barbaric for the concept of plausible deniability?"

Permalink

"Nah, I'm just allergic to being polite."

Permalink

Laugh.

Permalink

"It's not quite that I have to keep certain words out of my diet, of course - more an issue of tone."

Permalink

"Mm. So what do I have to do to get you to beg?"
