Unbecoming

Narcissa's dress clung loosely to her flesh as she glided over to her new husband. She smiled -just a tiny one, Cissa, only raise the edge of one side, yes a half-smile Cissa- at the appropriate intervals. She mingled with only the wives that Lucius had pointed out earlier in the evening. She weighed each word heavily, carefully as he had instructed, speaking nearly in code with fellow Death Eaters, while the commoners thought it idle prattle.

It was then that she heard a familiar cackling laugh behind her. She cringed, turning to face Bellatrix, thinking the cackle was unbecoming.
