Lovely. So disconnected and ragged in places.

[hismagdalen]

Thank you very much! :)

Ouch. Chilling, because it's Bella and because of the way it jumps around. She's a bit sympathetic, but she shouldn't be. Really wonderful!

[hismagdalen]

*loves* I maintain that unpleasant people are unhappy people generally, and as Bella is so very unpleasant she needs a good reason to be so very unhappy. *g*

Draco would just like to tell his Auntie Bella that it's okay to cry sometimes. *hugs*

[hismagdalen]

That's very kind of Draco, and Bella is more inclined to have a good tantrum when she feels like it after Azkaban. *g*

*frowns*

Did you want to be a mum?

[hismagdalen]

*she touches her fingers to her pursed lips*
Don't you think I'd have made a good mother?

[harriedpotter]

You might have. I didn't know you at the time.

[hismagdalen]

*her tone is mild but apparently without any hint of teasing*
That's to say I wouldn't as the woman you know now, is it?

[capitis_sepenti]

*lots of hugs for Bellatrix*

*knocks quietly on the door*

*calls softly*
Bellatrix? Are you taking visitors? Are you feeling better?

I'm going to presume Rabastan shouldn't know what happened, so he just assumes she's sick. Is that alright?

[hismagdalen]

*she glances at the door then quickly pushes her hair back out of her face and neatens the skirt of her gown*

*she crosses to the door and opens it, peering out warily before smiling at the sight of him*
You're not a visitor. You're a friend. Come into the parlour, or don't you have time to stop?

That's probably about right, although he'd be able to work out it was something to do with the baby as she was noticeably pregnant when she left, and isn't when she comes back! *g*

[capitis_sepenti]

*smiles back, rather nervous*
I always have time for you, Bellatrix.

*steps inside, removing his scarf from around his neck and folds it up, shoving it into his pocket*

Got it. But he's not going to ask if she doesn’t say anything.

[hismagdalen]

*she straightens his collar, smiling to herself*
Such a busy young man. Busy busy busy.

Once again, good move! :)
