Hey everyone! Did we all make it through October? All here? Well welcome to level 11 of Jumanji. We are almost through the year and somehow November is here. Honestly this year has been such a rollercoaster and I'll be relieved when it's all over but I can honestly say I will never forget this year. I don't think any of us will. Work is slowing down again so hopefully I can get writing again. The plan is to have my new Drastoria fic ready to go as an early holiday treat in December. Fingers crossed.

Stay safe.

Lots of love,

Finally Belonging Somewhere-Part 81:

Lucius and Narcissa had received the date for the Azkaban visit and were still doubting if taking Aurora there was really the right thing to do. She was still just a baby to them and they didn't want to put her through the trip to Azkaban but she had insisted that she was able to cope.

"This could go one of two ways Lucius and I'm still worried that, despite everything, that something will go wrong and we'll lose her," Narcissa said, "she's our little girl and we are taking her to a place where children should not go," she sighed.

"That might be the case but every precaution is being taken to ensure that nothing will happen to her. If I wasn't sure it was safe for her to go there then I wouldn't have suggested it," Lucius said, "she will be safe and if I think she's not then you will apparate away with her and get her away. I've thought of everything and prepared for it. My job is to protect my family and that is my wife and my children. That's been my job since we were married and Draco and Aurora were born. I failed with Aurora first time but I will not let our daughter down again."

He jumped back against the wall as he found the tip of his wife's wand under his chin.

"If anything happens to Aurora because of you insisting we take her still then I will not hold back and you will be sorry," Narcissa hissed before she slid her wand back in the pocket she kept it in. Lucius instantly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Narcissa looked so angry but so sexy at the same time and it was taking every ounce of restraint for him not to pull her against him and kiss her roughly.

Narcissa looked at him before she turned her back to him and then she gasped as she felt Lucius' hand on her arm and then suddenly found his lips on hers. All she could do was try and push him away before she found herself kissing him back and then finding herself pushed against the wall. She couldn't really understand what was happening until she felt him hard against her and allowed him to take her rough and hard. She had to admit that this way was rather hot and she secretly loved it.

The day of the visit arrived and Lucius woke up early but was surprised to see that Narcissa was awake. He kissed her head softly and she snuggled into him more. He traced circles on her shoulder, hoping that nothing would go wrong. He didn't want to be on the receiving end of Narcissa's hexes of anger. She was rather formidable with her wand when she was angry.

Neither said anything as they could tell what the other was thinking and they were soon up and getting dressed for the trip to Azkaban and then wondered if Aurora was awake or not. They had said that Draco had to remain behind because it was safer for him and he'd understood and would await their return. It was for Aurora the visit, not him.

Aurora soon joined them with her new doll and unicorn teddy and neither Lucius nor Narcissa wanted her to feel unsafe in a place where they needed her to feel safe so they let her keep them.

Dumbledore allowed them to Floo to the Ministry of Magic before they used a Portkey to the meeting point for their escort. Lucius nodded and pushed Narcissa right against Aurora before he stood back.

"Lucius…?"

"Cissa I want you and Aurora protected. I can cope without. One of us needs to be protected for Aurora," Lucius said before telling Aurora that the Aurors were good and could keep her safe. As soon as she said she understood there were numerous charms and shields hitting her and Narcissa.

Aurora had screamed at the first wand but then settled down and felt herself in like a warm fuzzy blanket and she felt Narcissa with her and then they headed to the apparation point. Narcissa pointed out the prison to her daughter before picking her up, scared of losing her in the motion. That was the last thing she needed to happen. She'd opened her half of the connection as well to give Aurora that extra little protection. Lucius would yell at her later but all that mattered was keeping her daughter safe.

Finally the group apparated to just outside the prison and then Narcissa wrapped her free hand around Aurora's and they followed the Aurors through the gate and then to a couple of guards. After that they headed through the cell corridors and Narcissa could feel the darkness trying to get to her and Aurora but the shields were holding.

Aurora just looked around and wondered what everyone was doing there before they were led down a quiet corridor to where there was one person in a cell.

As soon as they were there the witch cackled and Narcissa pushed Aurora behind her for safety.

"Hello Cissy. I wondered when you would come and see me."

"It wasn't my choice to come and see you Bellatrix," Narcissa said as she looked at her sister, "my daughter wanted to see you before she makes sure that you rot in hell here."

"She's here? I never really got the chance to look at the dear thing when I tried to take her. You don't deserve to be a mother. Your husband was a Death Eater and your son was destined to be one," Bellatrix taunted Narcissa, "the least I could do was save your daughter from the fate that would await her as well. The Dark Lord would have had her and who knows what he would have done with her…" she smirked.

"Stop it!" Aurora said as she stepped out from behind Narcissa, "stop upsetting mummy! You are a bad witch and deserve to be in here! Leave mummy alone!" She didn't care that Narcissa had been trying to keep her hidden so Bellatrix couldn't get to her but Aurora just heard someone bullying her mother and she wasn't going to stand for that at all.

"So this is the girl then," Bellatrix smirked as she looked at Aurora, "she's such a dear little thing and has a doll and unicorn teddy at 11…? Cissy what would our dear mother say?"

"That is none of your business Bellatrix," Narcissa said as she pushed Aurora gently behind her again.

"It will be once I get out of here," Bellatrix smirked and Narcissa looked at her.

"I highly doubt that Bellatrix. You will be spending the rest of your days in here for what you did to my little girl. You will not get to her again. You will never take my daughter… or even my son away from me. See you in court," Narcissa said before picking Aurora up as she felt her shaking. One warning to her sister delivered, next thing on the list: make sure Bellatrix remains in prison forever.
