Chapter One: Meeting the Malfoys
The letter lay open on the dark oak table. It had been a week since Narcissa Malfoy had received it. She rung her hands nervously as her emerald green eyes skimmed over the yellow parchment.
Bellatrix Black Lestrange

Narcissa Malfoy-
Malfoy Manor
Dearest Cissy,
I have the greatest of news! I know you are going to scold me for not telling you, but I had a reason. Thirteen years ago, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Her name was Violet Narcissa Lestrange. Why? Cissy, she has the most beautiful eyes. Green! Just like yours. After Rudy and I were imprisoned in this dump, I was told she was dead. Cissy, the pain of losing her drove me almost to insanity.
I was told yesterday by the Minister that she was alive and well. She was living with some Muggle family in London! Cissy, please, I can't begin to explain how furious I was at the prospect of my baby girl living with those filth! But Fudge assured me that he could have her moved if I found it necessary. How dare he?! He didn't think that MY daughter, a Lestrange, needed to be amongst her family. Cissy, I would rather have had her here in Azkaban than leave her with MUGGLES!
Now. It may sound a bit much Cissy, and I guess Lucius would disagree, but I have to try. Would you mind taking her in for me? Cissy, I completely understand if you can't. But I thought it was worth a shot. It would help if you replied as soon as possible, because that idiot of a minister wants an answer by the end of the week.
Forever your loving sister,
Bella.
