Chapter Twenty-One
"My Mum"
Rodolphus was discharged from hospital just in time for his wife's birthday. He was happy to be out of that bed though he was still quite tender from the injuries and still had bruises from hitting the tree. With the doctors resetting his ribs and the skele-grew potion the fractures healed a lot faster than it would have with just the skele-grew.
To Bellatrix's surprise the whole town sent her birthday cards wishing her a wonderful birthday. She almost started crying when Rebecca delivered the town's cards and explained everyone wanted to wish her well. Bellatrix did actually cry when Rebecca and Hermione gave her birthday presents; vinyl records of the muggle bands she loved. Her own parents never bothered with presents and rarely acknowledge her birthday.
Hermione made her a birthday card as well. Both Rebecca and Hermione wrote in it and when Bellatrix read what Rebecca wrote she pulled her in to a hug.
' Dear Bellatrix,
I know your own parents never gave a damn but I want you to know that I'm your mother now and I will always cherish the day you were born. You and Rodolphus have brought a happiness to this family in our darkest hour. I promise to love you like a mother should and I will always remember your birthday and you will always receive presents from me and Hermione.
Love Mum'
Rebecca held her tight and whispered I love you into Bellatrix's ear. Bellatrix never felt so happy to have a mum for the first time in her life.
Bellatrix pulled Hermione into a hug as well and kissed her cheek in a motherly way and thanked her for the card.
Hermione drew Bellatrix as a superhero fighting the Joker and wrote that she was Hermione's best friend.
Rebecca and LeRoy made a birthday cake with Hermione and Quinn for Bellatrix's birthday. You could tell Hermione and Quinn decorated the cake because of the poorly drawn icing picture of Batman fighting the Joker. When Rebecca and LeRoy brought out the cake and everyone started singing Happy Birthday, she started crying again but not in sadness.
She was happy to finally have a family that loved her.
Rodolphus held her and kissed her cheek. He knew she was crying happy tears because he may have been crying happy tears as well.
Hermione told her that she had to blow out all the candles in one go for her wish to come true. All the adults laughed. Bellatrix blew out the candles but didn't make a wish.
Hers already came true.
She has a mum that loves her and her mum is Rebecca Granger.
Later in the evening the party was in full swing and muggle music was playing in the background. Rebecca was going around taking photos of everyone while Rodolphus and Bellatrix were off to the side with Narcissa and Lucius. The four of them were gawking at how well Rainerio and Carmelita got along with Perseus and Ragnhild. It was almost like watching long lost relatives reuniting. It was kind of scary how alike they were.
"It's like there's two of them!" Narcissa whispered, gesturing to the adults in question.
Lucius was eyeing the four curiously, nodding in agreement with his wife. "You don't think they could be twins, do you?"
The LeStranges laughed. "If they are it would explain it."
They didn't know for sure what the four were talking about but Rodolphus had a sneaking suspicion it was about sports.
Narcissa continued to talk but Bellatrix's attention was drifting away from her younger sister when she spotted Rebecca taking a group photo of the children. Hermione, the only muggle-born child, was smack dab in the middle of her friends; muggles on the right and magical children on the left. Bellatrix grinned at the big toothy smile Hermione had.
It was funny how last year the witch wouldn't dare to think about associating with muggle-borns and muggles and now, here she was. Hermione bridged the gap between her and the muggle world. Bellatrix couldn't help but think that was exactly what Hermione is doing now by sitting in the middle of her friends, bridging the gap between the magical and non magical.
She couldn't wait to get a copy of that photo for her and Rodolphus.
Rabastan and Emilie were more shocked than Lucius and Narcissa when they found out how well Rodolphus and Bellatrix were integrating into the muggle world. Rabastan and Emilie weren't in any means racist towards the muggle world however, being young and still learning about the world, a part of them were worried about muggle-borns and any one foreign in France changing their country's culture. They are more than fine people holding on to their own cultures and beliefs but France, in their eyes, should alway remain French.
So to see Rodolphus and Bellatrix only keeping the socialist value of the French wizarding culture and adapting to muggle Britain it was quite a shock.
Though they would never tell Rodolphus and Bellatrix how to live their lives, after all everyone is born with free will.
To force someone to change in order to get them to live their life like yours is wrong which is something the French witches and wizards always told their children. If you wouldn't give up your socialist values for a conservative one, why should you expect a conservative to think and live life like you do? How do you know what is actually right for the world, bad people think what they are doing it right so how do you know if you're not the villain?
After talking to each other in private and reflecting on their French culture, Rabastan and Emilie decided that if Bellatrix and Rodolphus were truly happy to live their lives in the muggle world, who were they to judge? It is their right to choose after all.
One thing they would admit though, Hermione and Rebecca were a good influence for Bellatrix and Rodolphus. They couldn't be prouder to see them break away from biased views.
Standing a few feet away from Bellatrix and Rodolphus was The Zabinis talking to Daniel and LeRoy, Eugenio and Mariam seemed to be interested in whatever the couple were talking about.
The children crowding around the television were playing the Nintendo 64. Draco, Blaise and Stefen were apprehensive about the muggle device but Pansy… Pansy was loving anything muggle she could get her hands on. Hermione had pulled out a game that does four player co-op and all the kids were taking in turns playing it; the old tradition of 'if I die you play'.
A few of the parents near the children walked over to the side, watching them play the game.
Lucius peered over his wife, furrowing his eyebrows. "What in Merlin's name is that?"
Bellatrix, Rodolphus and Narcissa followed his line of sight and two things happened; Narcissa almost squealed, Bellatrix and Rodolphus leapt over to the tv to watch the game.
Lucius and Narcissa continued to eye the tv, wondering what sort of magic could trap people in a small box. Was this a muggle's way of trapping wizard folk?
Hermione scrunched up her face as her character died. Blaise had managed to get a hang of the game when he realised it wasn't real. Blaise looked over to Hermione apologetically. "Sorry Her-my-oh-knee."
The muggle-born smiled brightly and shrugged off her loss. "It's okay Blaise."
Hermione handed the controller to Draco, who was seated next to her, but the little blonde boy shook his head. Seeing this as an opportunity to play the game Bellatrix reached out for the controller. "I'll play."
About ten minutes later it was everyone versus Pansy. The muggle adults were red in the face from laughing so much as they watched the magical adults lost every round of Mario kart against Pansy.
The funniest thing about the whole situation was Pansy didn't know you could use weapons and just kept going around in circles on the track, trying to avoid obstacles. Pansy was just happy to see her character, Princess Peach, drive.
It was only five minutes later when Perseus knocked Princess Peach off the track and Pansy almost started crying because she thought Peach was actually hurt. Perseus stopped playing to comfort his daughter and apologised profusely while Ragnhild hit her husband with a paper plate.
Rebecca took a lot of photos of those fifteen minutes, ignoring Rodolphus's earlier plea not to take photos of him. The French wizard was feeling self conscious of the scars on his face.
The older woman's favourite photo she took of Rodolphus that night was of Hermione sitting in his lap while they both played Mario Kart together, capturing the moment when Hermione cheering as finally won a race and Rodolphus kissing the top of her like a proud father would.
The Malfoys never once picked up a controller. They were terrified of the muggle device. Rebecca shook her head, smiling at the three's apprehensiveness. She thought it was pretty cute and ironic. The three could handle the weirdness of magic and the existence of dragons but put them in front of a tv and N64 and they became chickens. Obviously Rebecca never said anything to tease them, she knew it would take time to adjust to the muggle culture; considering the Black sisters upbringing.
The last round of Mario was Bellatrix, Rodolphus, Rainerio and Carmelita racing around the track, using every weapon they could get.
Pansy had fallen asleep in her mother's arm and Blaise was drifting off in his father's arms. It was only eight o'clock but being a three year old it felt like it was twelve.
Bellatrix and Carmelita were neck at neck when Rainerio accidentally killed his wife's character. "Babe what the hell?" Carmelita exclaimed just as Bellatrix finished first.
"Yes!" Bellatrix cheered while high five-ing her husband. Carmelita glared at her husband.
Rainerio raised his hands up defensively, slightly frightful. "I'm sorry, Rod pushed my character to the side."
Carmelita raised her eyebrow, slightly smiling, and her voice was dripping with sarcasm. "Suure babe."
Bellatrix and Rodolphus turned to look at Hermione, hoping to celebrate their victory with the young girl but she was passed out in Rebecca's arm. Rebecca gave them an approving nod, letting them know she was proud of them.
Rebecca cleared her throat. "As much as I would like for this party to continue I think it's time for the children to go to bed."
As fun it was playing Mario Kart the parents knew it would be unfair to make the kids stay up late. All the parents reluctantly agreed and slowly they said their goodbyes.
The last ones to leave was Rabastan and his family and the Malfoys. While the adults were hugging and kissing each other on the cheek the children groggily said their goodbyes to each other. Despite not knowing Stefen very well Hermione still gave him a hug. The little French boy awkwardly returned the gesture. He rarely ever hugged anyone.
The hug between Hermione and Draco lasted as long as Bellatrix's embrace with her sister.
"Bye Her-my-oh-knee." Said Draco, rubbing one eye tiredly and using the hand to wave goodbye.
"Bye Draco." Hermione grinned while her eyes were drooping.
Rebecca eyed the two children. Not in a menacing way but a curious way. She wondered if Draco, when he was older, would still embrace the muggle world for his new friends.
Eventually it was just Rebecca, Hermione, Bellatrix and Rodolphus left in the house.
"Come on Hermione, it's time for you to have a bath and then it's off to bed." Rebecca tried to pick up Hermione again but it seems Hermione had different plans instead of getting ready for bed. Hermione moved away from her grandmother and stomped her foot.
"I don't want a bath!"
Rebecca rolled her eyes and sighed. Bellatrix and Rodolphus were taken aback with Hermione's sudden change in behaviour. In all of the time when Hermione was living with them she never once acted like this.
"Hermione I'm not going to tell you again." Rebecca warned.
To the couple's surprise Hermione stuck out her tongue and ran off. Rebecca closed her eyes and rubbed her temples while the couple looked at her in shock. Did Hermione, the very nice and well mannered child, seriously disobeyed someone? Hermione Granger, the goody two shoes in the group of slightly misbehaving children, who said no to a bath?
Were all children this temperamental?
"Rodolphus would you mind getting the bath ready and bringing Hermione's pyjamas to the bathroom?" Rebecca did not sound like she was in the mood for a misbehaving child tonight.
"Sure." and with that Rodolphus was out of the room faster than you could say Quidditch.
Rebecca calmly looked at a nervous Bellatrix. "You might want to prepare yourself for this."
Bellatrix blinked, not knowing what Rebecca was talking about. "What's going to happen?"
Well a lot of things happened in that half hour.
Bellatrix tripped and fell over the coffee table trying to catch Hermione, Rebecca tripped on the stairs trying hold on to Hermione. When they finally managed to catch Hermione they took her to the bathroom to get her undressed when… Hermione ran out of the bathroom stark naked and Rodolphus was absolutely horrified at the sight. As Bellatrix and Rebecca chased after the naked girl, Rodolphus was literally washing his eyes out with soap. Which he would regret as it stung his eyes and wounds.
They didn't know how but Hermione managed to get four feet out the front door before Rebecca picked her up and took her inside.
Hermione kept on howling that she didn't want a bath but Rebecca managed to finally get the girl in the bathtub. Bellatrix locked the bathroom door and Rodolphus sat outside of the bathroom, leaning against the door for extra security. Rodolphus was almost rocking back and forth, feeling sick to the stomach of the sight of a naked child. He tried not to throw up.
It was less than five seconds when Hermione splashed the two women, soaking their clothes with the soapy water.
Rebecca looked pointedly at the girl who was submerged in the bath water up to her eyes, peering through the bubbles. If this was the ocean and if Hermione was a shark, it would have been scary to witness but when you've covered in bubbles.. it's too frickin adorable to have anyone remain mad at you.
Bellatrix stared at Rebecca, completely baffled by the whole event. "Does this always happen?"
The older woman laughed as Hermione disappeared in to the wall of bubbles on the left side of the bathtub.
"Not always but it keeps you on your toes."
It was a struggle but Bellatrix and Rebecca were doing their best to get Hermione clean. Every ten to twenty seconds Hermione would 'accidentally' splash them with water as she played with the bath toys. Bellatrix didn't realise her breasts were covered in bubbles and that half of her hair was wet.
At some point Hermione managed to draw a bubble moustache on the two women. As a sort of revenge attack on Bellatrix's behalf, Rebecca made a monocle and moustache on Hermione. Bellatrix started snickering as Hermione tried to get the bubbles off of her face but she gave herself a long beard in the process.
The two women burst out laughing and Hermione scowled at them. Rebecca handed Hermione a toothbrush, bristles wet first, with some toothpaste on it, telling Hermione to brush her teeth. Brushing her teeth seemed to be the only thing Hermione enjoyed doing willingly.
About five minutes later Hermione was finally ready for a bedtime story. Rodolphus tried not to look at the bubbles on his wife's breasts and discreetly, much to his own disappointment, told her. Embarrassed, she quickly cleaned herself off before grabbing a book to read to Hermione.
Bellatrix had randomly grabbed King Arthur but Hermione wanted to read Peter Pan. So putting her foot down and not compromising…. They read Peter Pan to Hermione.
Okay so maybe Hermione had all three of them wrapped around her fingers, so what? They can say no to her.
Sometimes…
Maybe once in every ten years…
Luckily for the adults Hermione had worn herself out from resisting a bath so much that she fell asleep within two minutes instead of the usual ten to twenty minutes of story time.
All three of the gave Hermione a kiss on the forehead before leaving the bedroom.
Rebecca smiled at the two, silently thanking them for their help. She was about to go to her own bed to sleep when she suddenly remembered the gift Andromeda gave her yesterday to give to Bellatrix. "Before I say goodnight to you both there is one more present I need to give you Bellatrix."
Before the couple could respond Rebecca had left for her bedroom and returned with a medium sized box, covered in old wrapping paper that seemed to have been there for over ten years.
A long thin piece of yarn was wrapped around the present to keep the wrapping paper from falling off and there was a small tag attached to the bow.
Bellatrix carefully took the present from Rebecca and immediately tensed when she noticed her sister's name on the tag: 'To Bella, From Andy.'
The dark haired witch almost stared daggers in to Rebecca's eyes but realised the older woman's face looked almost sad. Rodolphus rubbed small circles on Bellatrix's lower back soothingly.
"I'm not trying to push you to reconnect with your sister or anything like that. Whatever you choose to do with the gift is completely up to you.. but remember Andy is like family to me as well and would anything for her like I would anything for you two."
Rebecca and Bellatrix shared a smile before the older woman bid the couple goodnight and went in to her bedroom, leaving the couple in the hallway.
"Ma Cherie?" Rodolphus wrapped his arms around his wife's waist carefully, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"I can't believe she remembered my birthday after all this time." Bellatrix felt a mix of sadness and happiness.
Her father and mother use to tell her and Narcissa that Andromeda didn't care about their birthdays and that she'd forgotten them… but holding the gift in her hands.. she knew that her parents lied to them. Despite how depressed it made Bellatrix to know her parents lied to her, she did feel a little bit of happiness knowing the truth.
Carefully she undid the bow and pulled off the wrapping paper and with wide eyes she gasped, covering one hand with her mouth.
A few months before Andromeda left home, the Black family were out shopping in Diagon Alley, a rare event, and Bellatrix had come across this old vintage Falmouth Falcons plush toy. She remembered her parents sneering at the toy and scolded her for 'trying to waste the family money' on it.
There was only a few left for sale at that time which means Andromeda had bought in secret.
After all this time Andromeda held on to that plush toy in hopes of giving it to her sister. A few tears escaped down her cheek but she quickly wiped them away.
"My love, what's wrong?"
Bellatrix shook her head and laughed lightly. "Nothing… it's just… there's only a few of these teddy's in existence and my parents told me off for wanting to have one…. Andy must have bought it in secret later that day because these don't exist anymore….after all this time she remembered I wanted this."
Rodolphus was secretly pleased that Bellatrix's sister was trying to reconnect. He knew how much Bellatrix missed Andromeda, even if she was still angry at her for leaving. Plus even he was touched by the gift. He thought it was very sweet of Andromeda to give Bellatrix a gift the dark haired witch had been wanting ever since she was a little girl.
Holding the plush toy in her hands Bellatrix felt a moment of clarity and happiness. She started thinking about her sister, wondering if she was ready to move on. Deciding it could wait later, she started thinking about her husband and moving in to house in this small muggle town.
They stayed like for a few more minutes until an idea popped in to the French man's head.
"You know I still have one more gift to give you." Rodolphus whispered. Bellatrix turned around in his arms, smirking at the wizard. She raised an eyebrow.
"Really?" She purred, hoping it would be a 'fun' gift.
He gave her knowing grin, thinking the same thing as her. "Oui."
He walked over to the bathroom while Bellatrix quickly put the present in the guest bedroom the two had been living in for the last two days.
Bellatrix placed a silencing charm over the bathroom, making sure no sounds would be escaping the room while Rodolphus turned on the shower head and set the right temperature.
Bellatrix came up behind her husband and reached around to unbutton his shirt. He spun around and started pulling of his shirt while Bellatrix yanked off her own. Within the next few seconds Rodolphus had Bellatrix pinned to the shower wall, water falling on them as he kissed down her neck, leaving a trail of hickeys behind.
The dark haired witch fisted her fingers in his curly hair and moaned.
The combination of Rodolphus's hot mouth nipping down her chest and sucking her nipple while feeling the warmth of the water on her skin was intoxicating. Out of all the places they've fucked in, the bathtub or the shower was Bellatrix's favourite. Especially at the prefect's bathroom during their time at Hogwarts.
Rodolphus shifted his leg between Bellatrix's thighs, teasing her with friction against her core. Bellatrix hissed in pleasure as she grind against his thigh. "Fuck!" Bellatrix moaned, picking up her pace as continued humping her husband.
To her dismay Rodolphus removed himself from his wife's hold. Bellatrix was about to protest when he got down on both of his knees and leaned in, his mouth brushing against her thigh.
"Happy Birthday Ma Cherie." He husked.
As soon as his mouth made contact Bellatrix let out a strangled moan as she tried hold herself up against the shower wall, her hand gripping Rodolphus's wet curly hair while the other hand searched for something to keep her steady.
Rodolphus's fingers trailed up softly, his right hand inching closer to her opening.
Her breath hitched.
Happy Birthday to Bellatrix indeed.
RG*RG*RG*RG
As Bellatrix and Rodolphus put on their pyjamas Bellatrix noticed a piece of paper folded neatly on the pillow. Curious, she picked it up and went red in the face as she read it.
'Please keep your sex fest at your own house, from mum.'
"Oh my God."
Maybe the silencing charm wasn't as strong as she thought it was…
RG*RG*RG*RG
It was early in the morning at Malfoy manor. Narcissa and Lucius had a pleasant night of sleep and the house elves announced that bacon and eggs were to be this morning's breakfast. Lucius excitedly walked down to the dining hall and Narcissa went to her son's room to wake him up.
What she didn't expect to see in her son's room was her own mother holding Draco by the neck and pointing at wand at him, all the while she was glaring at Narcissa.
"Mummy!" Draco wailed, his small fingers trying to pull the woman's hand off of him.
Narcissa let out a shriek and Lucius came running upstairs with his wand at the ready.
"Lower your wand boy or I'll snap his precious little neck." Druella threatened.
Lucius reluctantly lowered his wand and spoke to his crying son. "Draco it's okay, mummy and daddy are here, everything's fine."
Druella scoffed. "You've always been a terrible lier Malfoy."
Narcissa took a step forward, burning holes in to her mother's gaze. "LET MY SON GO!" she roared.
Lucius reached out for his wife and Druella laughed at her youngest daughter.
"Don't try Cissy, you're not very scary."
The blonde wizard glared at his mother in law. "What you do want you wench?!"
While this was going one of the four house elves watching the event snuck away to send a letter asking for help.
Druella cackled and mocked the young couple while Draco was still crying.
RG*RG*RG*RG
Meanwhile…
Rebecca took Hermione to Daniel and LeRoy's house so the two men could babysit Hermione. Rodolphus was quite interested in learning about dentistry and asked Rebecca if he could tag along with her to work.
The older woman agreed and asked Bellatrix if she would like to tag along as well.
Politely she declined as she wanted to see if the police station needed help.
A few moments after Rodolphus and Rebecca left Bellatrix was getting into Dragon Ball Z when she heard banging on the front door.
Bellatrix quickly got up from the couch and answered the door and her mouth dropped. It was Andromeda but she looked frightened.
"What-?" Was the only thing that came out of her mouth before Andromeda spoke over her.
"There's no time to explain, Cissy is in trouble."
Without thinking Bellatrix pulled out her wand and apparated the both of them to Malfoy manor when a house elf quickly ushered them in.
They could hear yelling and glass breaking up stairs. The two sisters bolted up the stairwell and ran down the corridor where they saw Lucius getting flung back by a hex.
Narcissa and Draco both screamed while Druella cackled.
Bellatrix ran to Narcissa's side, pushing the younger sister behind her while Andromeda helped Lucius up. Druella narrowed her eyes at Bellatrix.
"Come to join in the fun have you?"
Bellatrix growled at her 'mother.' "Let my nephew go!"
The old woman with curly hair more untamed than Bellatrix's threw her head back, letting out a terrifying laugh.
"Oh you want to play don't you sweet child." She mocked in a baby voice.
Andromeda appeared at her sisters side, her wand drawn and pointing at the old woman.
The mocking smile left Druella's face. All was silent, except for Draco's tears, for a few brief moments as Druella slowly recognised her first born.
"You left us for a mud-blood Andromeda." There was a glint of a type of rage the sisters had not seen since they left home. They paled, fearing for Draco's life. They knew that rage all to well.
As fate would have it though, Draco bit Druella's finger and the older woman shrieked, releasing her grip on the little boy.
Draco ran straight to his mum.
Druella let out this inhuman sound and they backed away from her.
"Cissy get Draco and Lucius out of here, we'll handle this." Bellatrix ordered, staring down her mother.
Lucius didn't need to be told twice but Narcissa hesitated.
Andromeda looked back at her youngest sister and barked at her. "Now Cissy!"
Lucius pulled his wife away and the three fled to the muggle hospital Rodolphus was in, not wanting any chance of the Daily Prophet finding out about this.
"Why are you here Druella?" Andromeda demanded, returning her attention the woman.
"Crucio!" Druella shrieked, pointing at Andromeda. Before the curse could hit her Bellatrix pulled her sister out of the way, almost toppling to ground.
"You think you have a right to speak to me you filthy blood traitor! Wait till I find Cygnus, then you will regret leaving us."
Druella sent another curse their way and the sisters moved out of the way and ran out of Draco's room. Druella chased after them and continued to throw curse after curse at them. Druella may be bat shit crazy but she was a better duelist than Cygnus could ever be.
Bellatrix had a death grip on Andromeda's arm, pulling her to fire place connected to the floo network with Druella hot on their heels.
Just as they start activated the floo Druella grabbed Andromeda's other arm and the three witches battled for control over where they be apparating to.
For some reason Bellatrix thought of the fog murderer and the three witches landed in an empty farm field, the fog surrounding them.
Druella had lost her grip Andromeda and landed a few feet away from her daughters.
Andromeda didn't land correctly and injured her leg, yelping in pain. Bellatrix was the only one of the three who landed on the ground safely and pulled Andromeda up off the ground.
She couldn't hear whistling yet but she had this sinking feeling the murderer was close by… and if she could be honest, she'd rather take her chances with the murder than her mother.
Andromeda managed to stand up, leaning on her sister when in the distance they could hear the whistle. Druella struggled to stand up, not releasing she had fractured her ankle on impact.
Andromeda looked at her sister. "We can't leave her here!"
Bellatrix almost growled. "Why the fuck not?!"
The faint sound of the whistling man was slowly getting closer.
"Because what if she escapes and goes to the muggle town? She would kill them all."
Bellatrix gritted her teeth and snarled at her mother.
It was an even split chance of the fog murderer killing Druella and Druella killing him.
"Oh fuck it." Bellatrix flicked her wand, knocking the older woman unconscious and conjured a rope, tying the two witches together.
Bellatrix apparated them to Diagon Alley and left Druella in an alley way. What neither sister noticed was that Molly Weasley had just turned the corner to walk down that way and saw Bellatrix leaving Druella and helping Andromeda.
The sisters returned back to the Granger house where Rebecca and Rodolphus were waiting on the couch for them.
Rebecca and Rodolphus ran over to them, helping Andromeda walk over to the couches.
"We just saw the Malfoy's at the hospital, what the fuck happened?" Rebecca almost yelled, helping Andromeda sit down while Rodolphus inspect both witches for serious injuries.
Andromeda grimaced and Bellatrix wiped her sweaty forehead.
"Druella held Draco hostage for Merlin knows what and fucking chased us all over the house. We tried to floo away but she grabbed a hold of us and we ended up back at the fog murderer's place before leaving Druella unconscious in Diagon Alley."
Rodolphus almost lost his temper and Rebecca's face darkened. "I'm going to fucking murder that bitch."
Andromeda reached out to hold Rebecca from leaving. "Rebecca don't."
Rebecca scowled. "No, I'm not sitting down on this one. Nobody fucks with my daughters."
It took almost two hours before the witches could calm Rodolphus and Rebecca down. It did make Bellatrix's heart swell to see Rebecca and Rodolphus wanting to defend them but after almost losing her husband she had to stop them.
RG*RG*RG*RG
A few hours later..
Rebecca, Andromeda, Bellatrix and Narcissa were sitting the in back yard at a little rustic table underneath a large tree, enjoying the summer weather. Andromeda had down a cup of skele-grew while the women spoke.
Rodolphus and Lucius were inside with Hermione and Draco, playing with the lego sets.
The blonde woman didn't know how she came to venting out all of her feelings that she kept bottled inside. All she remembered was Rebecca listening to hear with that loving smile of hers, never judging her and then suddenly Narcissa let a lot of things out before she could stop herself.
As soon as she revealed she was scared of something horrible happening, like what happened today, she immediately apologised but Rebecca silenced her by holding her hand gently.
"Never apologise my dear," Narcissa felt herself relax at the small smile Rebecca had. "I know that you're just looking out for your family Narcissa but you will drive yourself mad with all of this paranoia. It's okay to not be in control and what happened this morning was not your fault. There's no way you could have prevented it."
Narcissa opened her mouth to respond but snapped it shut when Rebecca cut her off.
"Let me finish. When I first found out my son and daughter had passed away I was absolutely distraught and when I got Hermione back I didn't want her out of my sight… but that constant paranoia took a toll on me and I was struggling to do everything myself… I do know what you are going through and you're not alone in this. You have your family, including myself, to help you through this. I know it sucks to not be able to stop every bad thing in this world and sometimes it does feel like you're alone… but no-one is ever really alone.. we are all here to help you."
The blonde witch and muttered a quiet thank you. Rebecca patted her hand.
"Now how about some tea?"
Rebecca stood up and walked to the back door, leaving no room for disagreement.
Bellatrix laughed quietly. "Merlin she's good at that."
Andromeda smiled and nodded in agreement, remembering the first time she blurted out all of her feelings to Rebecca. Narcissa furrowed her eyebrows.
"Good at what?"
"At being a mother." Andromeda said, looking back at the kitchen window where she could see Rebecca brewing some tea.
Bellatrix grinned at her and Narcissa felt confused.
Were mothers really suppose to be like that?
The three sisters sat in a few moments of comfortable silence. Bellatrix had a few thoughts floating around her head, regarding Andromeda and the private conversation her and Rodolphus had last night.
"Andy…" Both Narcissa and Andromeda looked at Bellatrix curiously. "Thank you for the present." she said softly, struggling internally to decide if what she is about to say next is what she really wants.
Andromeda smiled happily. She was glad Bellatrix finally got the present after so many years of trying to mailing to her, only to be sent back by the house elves at Black Manor.
"Also…I do want you in my life again… but do you mind if we take it slow?" Bellatrix was elated to both of her sisters grinning excitedly.
"We can take all the time you need Bella." Andromeda tried her best to contain her excitement and not hug Bellatrix. She didn't want to over step her sister's boundaries but Narcissa being Narcissa…
The blonde woman squealed excitedly pulled them in to a group hug.
Bellatrix laughed at her little sister's antics and looked at Andy.
"Good because Rodolphus and I want to live in this muggle town."
Andromeda had a massive smile while Narcissa let go of both sisters and gawked at Bellatrix.
Did Bellatrix LeStrange, bully, Quidditch Beater, Quidditch Co-Captain and ex Death Eater, just say she wants to live in a muggle town?
RG*RG*RG*RG
The Aurors did pick up Druella Black from Diagon Alley and arrested her but not for the crime of threatening her grandson's life.
Oh no.
When Molly Weasley went to check on Druella the crazy witch woke up from her delirious state and tried to attack Molly. Growing up in a family full of wizards, dragon trainers and Aurors, and raising a lot children Molly had picked a lot new skill sets.
As the Aurors arrived in the little alley way all they saw was Molly Weasley 'defending' herself.
To Druella's absolute horror she was bested by a common housewife.
Druella would spend the next two years in Azkaban for assault.
And Molly would treat herself to a glass of wine whilst having a long bubble bath.
A/N: Christ Almighty, I'm one week back at uni and I'm already swamped with a fucktonne of work. Ah well, c'est la vie.
I will try my best to do one upload a week or two. I have written out all these new chapters on paper so I do have a guide to work with as I type it on my laptop. That is meant to help me with writer's block so I don't leave this fic going without updates like I did a few times when I was younger.
Also I did a little short video of Bellatrix and Rodolphus on vimeo (I prefer vimeo because it's easier for amateur film-makers like me to upload to.) My vimeo account name is Hermione LeStrange and here is the link, make sure to remove the underscores: h_t_ t_ p_ s_ :_ /_ /_ v_ i_ m_ e_ o_ ._ c_ o_ m_ /_ 2_ 0_ 4_ 9_ 7_ 1_ 7_ 3_ 3
I know a lot of people don't like Jamie Dornan but he is, for me, one of the few people I can see playing Rodolphus LeStrange.
IMPORTANT: For those who haven't checked out my profile page for about the characters of RG, Hermione is JEWISH.
