"Bella wake up." Rodolphus whispered while slightly shaking the girl awake. It was 7 in the morning and he didn't want to wake Arika yet.
"Professor Lestrange!" she said loudly and then hugged him as he shushed her.
"We must be quite hurry and get changed, we'll go to breakfast before going to see your mother." he whispered then he left the room.
She got dressed in a hurry and met him downstairs, Rodolphus smiled at the bell then put a piece of parchment on the table for Arika. Beside him was her trunk.
"Why is my trunk down here?" She asked as she put on her cloak.
"Because we will be going to my house then in a few days I will need to be back at Hogwarts." he said and Bella's stomach dropped
"Wait then I will have to go home?" She said. Her violet eyes full of horror.
"No you will just have to come with me."
They left the house and walked down the street. Bella had never been to this town and soon realized that it was a French community, and she understood nothing. The signs were in French and all the people seemed to speak French it was a nightmare.
Rodolphus led her into a small café and sat at a table. A waitress passed out menus and to Bella's horror they were written in French.
"Is everything here in French?" She asked a little hint of annoyance was in her voice. Rodolphus just smiled and read off the menu for her in English.
After they ate Rodolphus apparated her to a London street where St. Mungo's was located. Once inside the hospital, they found Druella's room, Bella walked in carefully and stood by her mother's sleeping form. Rodolphus walked in beside her and without a word he picked up Bella and stuck her in the bed with her mother.
Druella's eyes opened slowly and a smile crossed her face.
"I thought I heard a bell." She said and Bellatrix crawled next to her and allowed her mother to hug her. "Thanks Rodolphus."
"Your welcome Mrs. Black, I think I'll leave you two alone." he said bowing then he left the room and closed the door behind him.
Sitting on a bench outside the room Rodolphus was drifting off into sleep.
Rodolphus stood in a long corridor of the hospital, he was confused as to what he was doing but then it hit him he had taken the girl to visit her mother. He walked swiftly to the room only to find it empty except for the blood that covered the walls and bedding, he stepped back vile filling his throat.
"Bellatrix!"
He listened carefully and on the opposite wall the door slammed shut and all that he could see before it completely closed was a small shadow and a bit of dress. He ran down the hall and found himself in a labyrinth of halls and doors. Making his way through them with only the sound of a child laughing he finally reached the end where Bella stood transfixed on the door.
"Bellatrix? Bella what are you doing? Where did you get those clothes?"
She turned her head to look at him and ran her hand down the door, blood streaks formed like it was coming from her own fingertips.
"I'm a bad girl Mr. Lestrange" she said. Her face as cold as stone, "do you think me a bad girl Mr. Lestrange?
"No Mon Cherie, your not a bad girl" He said stepping toward her. She turned and faced him fully and all down the front of her dress was blood that was so think it dripped to the floor with a small sound forming a puddle around her feet.
"How about now Mr. Lestrange. Say it, say that I'm a bad little girl"
"NO!"
"Mr. Lestrange, Mr. Lestrange…Sir visiting hours are over." A nurse said while looking at him worrying. "That must have been some dream you were having, I've called your name three times before you yelled no to me."
Rodolphus stood, he felt a little groggy and he couldn't believe that that was all just a dream. It had seemed so real. He stepped back into the room and found both Bella and Druella asleep in each others arms. He felt bad that he had to take the girl away but rules were rules. The moment he stepped forward Druella awoke.
"Here" she whispered sitting up but not letting go of her sleeping child. "please don't wake her, and if you have any trouble taking care of her just let me know and I can have it arranged for her to come and stay here in the children's ward."
"I'm sure their won't be a problem Mrs. Black." he whispered and then scooped the girl into his arms. "Bellatrix is a good girl."
He felt like he was saying it more to comfort himself than Druella, his dream was still fresh in his mind. Druella nodded then sat back again closing her eyes. He carried Bella out of the room and down the hall many people stared but he didn't care, he just wanted out of the hospital.
