Another hour passed and Bellatrix doesn't show up.  You really hope that she will come back soon because you really want to apologize to her. In hindsight, you feel very bad that you just turned her down. You're also very grateful that Narcissa was so nice to you, because you feel a little better that way. You're still sitting in Bellatrix's room and looking around. You have nothing to do here at the Manor. No obligations, no tasks... It was a mystery to you anyways how that great breakfast would turn up this morning, for you knew that none of the Malfoys had prepared it. Then you remembered- house elves. Surely the Malfoys had thousands of these little servants doing everything for them. You decide to look for the house elves later and help them with their work. You lean back in bed again, stroke the soft pillowcase and close your eyes for a moment. The bed is so incredibly comfortable, as if you were floating on clouds. You are about to fall asleep again when you hear loud voices and open your eyes again. You get up and open the door to listen more closely. There are two male voices, at first you assume they belong to Lucius and Rodolphus but after a moment you realize it's Draco's voice. He seems to be arguing with his father, about what you can not understand. *Is that any of my business?* you think and shake your head. No, of course it's none of your business... you're new here and don't really have a clue about anything here. You'd still like to know what's going on down there, but for the sake of decency, you turn around and go back into Bellatrix's bedroom. This time, instead of falling back onto the bed, you sit down on the floor. Below you is a fluffy circular rug color coordinated with the curtains. With your right hand you stroke the carpet *Feels like a little sheep...* you think and have to smile. You are happy, yes truly happy here. Is it weird to think about that after the thing what just went down between you and Bellatrix? No... no it's not. It just goes to show how much you love her and that even the fact that she's married doesn't stop you from continuing to love her. Now you get up from the carpet and go across the room to the mirror. Your hair is all messy and you're about to do some sort of braid when you hear something again. The argue again? No - they are different voices... many more voices. You decide to go downstairs, maybe Bella is back? The voices guide you into the dining room where many people are looking at you. They're Death Eaters, that's plain to see. But your beloved Bellatrix is not there... You walk over to Narcissa and whisper, "Do you know where Bella is?" Narcissa looks at you but then shakes her head, "No, sorry Y/n I have no idea..."  This gives you an even queasy feeling in your stomach and you can see that Narcissa seems worried too. At that moment, footsteps can be heard approaching the dining room. You breathe a sigh of relief... but only for a brief moment. Because there is- a knife in Bellatrix's chest! "H-Has anyone got a band-aid...?" she asks in a shaky voice. A band-aid... it would definitely need more than a band-aid... But before anyone can say anything more, Bella falls back in a faint as soon as she finishes her sentence. You only hear yourself scream before you are dragged out of the room by someone.
