June 1964
Bella sat perched on the edge of the tub in nothing but her knickers and Andromeda's old Quiddich camp shirt, kicking her legs with her head crocked to the side, splashing the little water that was in there all over the floor.
"What are you doing up Bella?" Narcissa asked, walking into the bathroom rubbing her eyes.
"I am going to shave my legs-for the first time." Bellatrix answered solemnly, her strict expression breaking into a grin at the end.
"Really! Can I watch?" Narcissa asked, dropping the lid and sitting on the toilet seat.
"I'll do you one better, you can help me." Bellatrix smiled, tapping the edge of the tub beside her. Grinning ear to ear Narcissa rushed over, forgetting to take her socks off and soaking them in the three inches of water that was in the tub. "Now, according to Cecil-"
"Cecil Jacobs?" Narcissa inquired.
Bellatrix let out a large exhale through her nose, "Yes Cecil Jacobs now don't interrupt." She ordered, Narcissa signed zipping her lips closed, locking them with a key and throwing it away. "You're supposed to wet your legs first." Upon saying this Bella began splashing her legs with water up to the mid thigh. "Alright now take this-" Bellatrix ordered, shoving a can of shaving cream into Narcissa's hand. "And shake it really well."
Narcissa looked with wide eyes, "I told you I'd let you help didn't I Cissy." Gingerly, Narcissa took the can in both hands and began shaking it vigorously. "Don't pop your shoulders out of your sockets." Bellatrix reprimanded, taking the can from her grasp.
"Sorry Bella." Narcissa sighed, biting her lip.
"Don't apologize for anything you do, especially if you're not sorry. Now I need you to push down on the top like this so the cream comes out okay." Bella demonstrated, putting a bead of foam into her palm. Narcissa took the can, and giving it one last quick shake sprayed a dollop into her hand, utilizing all of her will power not to play with it as she held it out to her sister who scooped it off Narcissa's palm and lathered it onto her leg.
Just then, the bathroom door burst open. "Ugh, seriously. I have to pee!" Andromeda moaned, jumping from foot to foot.
"Alright, well, when we finish." Bellatrix nodded, bending over and running the razor over her leg agonizingly slow. "Ouch." Bellatrix dropped the razor and pressed her hand against the nick on her leg.
"Bella hurry I can't hold it any longer! And Cissy get out!" Andromeda pleaded, jumping up and down.
"Why don't you use the downstairs bathroom?" Narcissa asked sassily standing in the tub with her arms on her hips.
"I'm not going to make it!" Andromeda explained.
"Well I'm not finished yet. I haven't even stopped bleeding." Bellatrix shrugged, pouting.
"I'm going downstairs. And Cissy's going to bed,"
"No! I'm! Not!" Narcissa argued, stomping with every word.
"You have tap tomorrow." Andromeda informed, "If you're late again Mum will have your head." Narcissa groaned and stepped out of the tub.
"You went into the tub with your socks on Cissy." Andromeda moaned. "Take them off before you leave puddles all over the house."
"Stop pestering the child Andy, Jesus. Come shave with me." Bellatrix invited, twisting her leg around trying to get to the back of her calf. Andromeda tisked before rushing off to the bathroom. "Cissy, go to bed. Leave your socks in the sink." Bellatrix ordered, lathering her left leg.
"I'm not tired." Narcissa said, crossing her arms.
"Go to bed." Bellatrix repeated. "Or I will turn this razor on you." Bellatrix pointed her razor at Narcissa with narrowed eyes.
Narcissa practically ripped her socks off and sprinted down the hall to her bedroom.
Bellatrix smiled mischievously.
