I took one last look in the mirror before heading downstairs into the dinning hall. I was wearing one of my new dresses I got as part of my winter wardrobe. It was a deep crimson colored dress, its length ended right above my knees, the bottom was made out of fluffy and soft tulle, it was strapless and the top was made out of silk and studded with diamonds. I decided to leave my hair down and natural so once I took it out of the clip a mess of ebony curls fell down to the length of my waist. Tonight my make up was simple, I just did my foundation as I normally did, coated my lashes in mascara, put on a light layer of eyeliner on my top and bottom lash line, and to finish the simple look I used some gold shimmery eye shadow. Once I got done fixing the crease in my dress there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." I shouted. It was Aunt Narcissa.
"Oh darling you look perfect." She said as she gave me a hug.
"So do you Auntie Cissy." She was wearing a long deep green dress with floral print lace sleeves, she had let her bangs down and curled the rest.
"Well thank you, your mother will be here soon, so I think we should be heading down soon."
"Okay Auntie." She grabbed my hand and we left my room.
The dining room was all set up and our Christmas tree had been put up. The room smelt of spices and burning wood from the fire place.
"Well you too look lovely." Said Uncle Lucius as he pulled out three chairs, one for me, Aunt Narcissa, and I am assuming my mother.
"Where is Draco?" I asked
"He is hanging out with Crabble and Goyle." Said my Aunt. I was kind of dissapointed, Draco was like my older brother and I wanted him to be here for this. All of a sudden I noticed the fireplace started to glow a bright green and a women stepped out. She was absolutely gorgeous, and honestly I think I resembled her a great deal. She had a ton of black curls that fell to a length longer than her waist, she had deep brown almost black eyes, her face was thin and her cheeks were naturally contoured and she had high cheekbones.
"Cissy!" The women shouted. My aunt quickly got up and pulled the women into a tight and long hug.
"Bellatrix, you are looking well." Said my Uncle as he gave out his hand and she shook it firmly.
"Capella, darling come here." Said my Aunt signaling me to come over. I took in a deep breath and slowly walked towards the fireplace.
"Bella, this is." And before my Aunt could finish my mother pulled me into a tight embrace. It felt so right and warm, I took in her scent of cinnamon and just tried to absorb everything that was going on.
"This is MY daughter, thank you but you do not need to tell me cissy." My mother finally let me go and just stared at me.
"Wow you are such a beautiful young women, looking exactly as I did at my age." She said as her eyes examined me.
"Well thank you mother." I said politely.
"Shall we eat." Suggested my Uncle Lucius. Everyone sat down, Uncle Lucius was at the end, I sat to the right of him, mother sat to his left and in front of me, and Aunt Naricssa sat to my other side. The house elves started to bring out all of the food. During dinner we talked much about me growing up, how school was, and a bit of that terrible Potter boy. Unfortunately dinner came to an end and my mother would leave for the night.
"Well Bellatrix, it has been amazing to have you over and see you after all this time. You are always welcomed to Malfoy Manor." Said my Uncle in a polite way.
"Dinner was lovely, thank you Lucius and Cissy but I have a request. Do you mind if I stayed just for this night just to get to know my beautiful daughter some more?" Asked my Aunt and Uncle as she finished up her dinner.
"Of course not, Sister." We had all finished eating dinner then dessert and said our goodnights to each other so now it was just me and my mother alone in my room.
