14. Chapter 14

Summer. The house of Lestrange family, Prague, 1995.

Bellatrix was sitting in a comfortable armchair with a piece of parchment in her hands. It was a letter and she began reading it:

"Dear Hermione,

Why don't you write to me anymore?! I hope it's all OK with you and I hope you receive my letters!

I write to tell you that finally I convinced my parents to come in Prague and we'll be there in some days. I'll send you an owl when I arrive to tell you when and where we can meet. I really hope to meet you! Please send me an answer!

Be careful!

Yours, Draco!"

Bellatrix looked up from the letter and hid it in the box where the rest were. She started to hide Draco's letters when she received Narcissa's letter telling about his correspondence with Hermione. The poor girl didn't know about that and was desperately sending him letters without receiving an answer. Draco was in the same situation, as Bellatrix strived to retrieve Hermione's letters from the post-office before they were sent. Thus Draco was going to Prague without any assurance he would meet Hermione.

Some days after. Hotel Kings Court, Prague.

Narcissa Malfoy was writing on a piece of parchment:

"Dear Bella,

Finally we arrived in Prague and I can't wait to meet you!

We won't come to your home, so meet us in the Franciscan Garden tomorrow at 12:00 a.m!

See you, yours, Cissy!"

When she finished she tied the piece of parchment to the leg of a beautiful white owl indicating the destination. The owl flew and Narcissa remained to watch the magical panorama of Prague from the window.

The house of Lestrange family, Prague.

Hermione was sitting in the garden full of camomile. As it was summer and she officially was free of study Hermione was reading a book. A white owl landed next to her. The girl looked at the creature with astonishment. It passed a lot of time since she had seen an owl. In a muggle city the probability to see one delivering letters was very low. Hermione took the letter and let the owl go after she caressed it's feathers. She looked on the letter and read:

"For Bellatrix Lestrange."

Hermione went to the opposite side of the yard, where Bellatrix was sitting, to give her the letter.

"This is for you. It was delivered by an owl.", said Hermione.

Bellatrix snatched the letter from Hermione's hand. The same owl bound with another piece of parchment landed on Bellatrix's head. Hermione laughed as Bellatrix was trying to drive away the owl. Finally the woman took the letter and let the owl go.

"Who's sending you owls?!", asked Hermione.

Bellatrix looked deep in her eyes and said with a slow pace:"It's not of your business! Go away!".

Hermione looked at her with sorrow and left.

Bellatrix read the both letters. She went in the house to hide the letter from Draco announcing about the arrival of the Malfoys in Prague. Hermione didn't have to know about that, this being a point of the plan Bellatrix made to destroy the relationship between the two young wizards.
