- BELLE -

I want to dream. Yet I can't. I'm not nothing but a hoard of clouds.

Floating upward as I lose myself to the stratosphere of the earth and the greater beyond.

Strings missing, ours no longer intertwine. I cannot feel him anymore. The soul I had come to love is gone. Ravished into dust. As though it had been swept away and back into chaos.

Twilight left as the first blushes of the sun pinkened the sky, each speckle glistening against the shards of snow.

Winds of winter mornings were more vicious here than in the south. And surprisingly I still found the violence appeasing.

The calming draught that I took the night before gave me a nightmare-less sleep and I couldn't help but dwell on the emotions I could no longer feel. Because I wanted to remember him, remember Draco, even if it pained me.

As I woke from slumber, my eyes slowly peeling open as the tiredness ran, I let the sun warm me. Softness of the cotton sheets kissed my skin and small trinkets of drool had escaped the corner of my lips. 

However, no matter how clear my mind was. How I had no worry clenching on my shoulders as a pre warning, I still felt as though I had no purpose to life. Like I had nothing to belong to.

I was grieving.

With no body to count for.

I checked the clock on the bedside table where it told me that it had just turned nine. A respectable time to wake.

Faint whispers came from the corridor across where the living room was situated. Two- three voices. Narcissa being one. But they kept them hushed. It was hard to distinguish who belonged to whom.

Main question being why that was the case.

Wild curiosity bit my tongue, I dressed quickly into the new clean set of clothes, got ready for today and finger combed my hair as I left the bedroom.

Two spines faced me where Narcissa spoke to them in hushed tones.

The second had long shoulder length hair, like dulse precisely. No need to guess as to whom they famously belonged to.

But the other. Lion maine. Fuzzy and oh- how badly I wanted to rip it out.

Narcissa's eyes fell to me causing the other two to turn back.

Now I wanted to rip those eyes out too and not just the hair.

"Severus," I nodded. But instantly furrowed- bulged- heaved the moment- "Hermaphrodite."

My voice is as still and calm as untouched water. Not a wave of disruption.

As she stood and took two steps forward I took two back, mind blistering with questions as to why she was here.

Why would Narcissa invite her here in the first place? She knew exactly what happened at Temple Village. I told her everything about it and the strained relationship we had.

"What are you doing here?" The bitterness that curls off my tongue is as though I had turned into the serpent that hisses at its prey. Rattles on my tail shook incredulously and my neck craned ready to throw a curse. "Please tell me you're joking.." I addressed the other two without moving an eye.
