Hey everyone!

Hope your February is going well. The UK is currently getting battered by storms so it's a case of staying inside where it's safe. It's also still very cold here as well so staying inside an warm is also a great idea currently. A couple of fics I'm waiting to see what happens with them so stay tuned. I also have a book where I'm writing my ideas down in as well.

Lots of love,

Finally Belonging Somewhere-Part 64:

Narcissa had reluctantly let Aurora go back to Hogwarts with Snape and Draco and Astoria.

"She'll be safe at Hogwarts Cissa," Lucius said softly as he stroked her cheek, "Severus will keep her safe. Bellatrix has been captured now so there is no threat to Aurora."

"We should head to the Ministry and see what Bellatrix has to say," Cygnus said before watching his daughter's eyes widen, "we have to see what she's saying because, eventually, Aurora will start asking questions and we need to know the answers to her questions."

Narcissa sighed knowing that her father was right but she really did not want to face her older sister. She was confused and conflicted. Bellatrix had always said that she loved Narcissa but she had harmed her twice now, both times surrounding her precious daughter. She knew she had to face Bellatrix… for Aurora if not herself.

Lucius held his wife close to him and apparated them to the Ministry of Magic. Cygnus popping next to them seconds later before Lucius saw his father rushing as gracefully as their name would allow them.

"We wondered when you were arriving. Bellatrix's wand has been removed and her magic has been restricted and she's very deep down in the Ministry," Abraxas informed the group before turning on his heals and heading towards the lift, "oh and she specifically asked for Narcissa."

Silence fell as they were taken deep into the heart of the Ministry. Only the men had been down this far and Lucius wrapped an arm around Narcissa and cast a warming charm around her so she didn't feel the cold.

"Where's my mother and Priscilla?" Narcissa asked.

"Handling the press," Cygnus said, "before the can get all over this."

The lift ground to a halt and the group exited the lift. Narcissa froze as doubt began to fill her.

"Lucius… I can't face her. Not after what she did," Narcissa said, her breathing becoming erratic.

Lucius instantly went to her side as he realised she was having a panic attack. He focused on her and began to get her breathing back under control.

"You are a Black and Blacks never run away from a battle," Lucius said, "I know this is daunting, but we have a little girl to fight for. We have to do this for her." Narcissa nodded and she placed a shaking hand in Lucius' before following Abraxas and Cygnus towards where Bellatrix was being held.

A cackle could be heard as they approached the cells and Narcissa suddenly found some confidence and pulled Lucius with her and then she stopped outside Bellatrix's cell.

"Bellatrix…" Narcissa said.

"Hello Cissy. I wondered when I would see you," Bellatrix said.

"Well you kidnapped my baby girl when she was fighting for her life at birth and you tried to do it again earlier today," Narcissa said, "I want to get justice for my daughter. One day you will see what you have done to her. She's behind in so much and we have to help her catch up with the children her age."

"I have no idea what you are talking about Cissy dear," Bellatrix said, eyes focused on her beloved sister, "I have not taken any child at all. I love you so much. Why would I take an innocent baby?"

"Don't try me," Cygnus said, "there is a witness who has come forwards who helped you when Aurora was taken from her mother and trying to take her in a tearoom in a hospital. There are plenty of witnesses this time as well. You will pay for what you have done to my granddaughter."

"Well they are mistaken. I never took any child. I love you so much Cissy. Why would I try and hurt you?" Bellatrix smirked and before anyone knew Narcissa was pressed right against the bars.

"Don't try and trick me Bellatrix," Narcissa said, "I know you and this has you written all over it. You will pay for what you have done!"

Lucius registered the danger and pulled Narcissa away and into a new arrived Priscilla's arms.

"Get her out of here mother!" Lucius said before Priscilla pulled Narcissa away from the scene and into a separate room.

"Cissy can't handle herself and is lying," Bellatrix said and she held onto the cell bars.

"We now have witnesses and you will be shipped off to Azkaban again," Cygnus said before walking away. The Malfoy men waited and watched as Bellatrix was prepared and taken off to Azkaban before Lucius headed off to find his mother and wife.

Eventually he walked into the room and saw his mother talking to Narcissa.

"Well that's Bellatrix off to Azkaban," he said as he leant against the desk.

"She doesn't deserve it… not after what she did to Aurora… what she did to me," Narcissa said, "she really doesn't deserve a trial at all. She should be left to rot in Azkaban. I want her to see Aurora though and see what she has done to our daughter."

"That will have to be discussed as I really think we need to consider whether to take our 11-year-old to Azkaban or not. It's not really the place for a child Cissa," Lucius said as he watched his wife who appeared to be calming down in his presence finally.

"It doesn't matter what she deserves we have to do this by the book or there will be no justice for Aurora and you need closure on this as well." Narcissa sighed and nodded.

"For Aurora," she said before finding herself in Lucius' arms and rested her head on his shoulder knowing that he was right.
