Celena woke up the next morning fairly early, as always. One thing she was glad about was she got to bother people in the morning, not the other way around. She didn't plan to change her ways until summer when Walburga left her alone. She walked into her bathroom and closed the door. Once she was done with her shower, she stared down at the black dress, tilting her head.

It actually looked similar to Bellatrix' from all the pictures she had seen from the older women, she smiled. She really couldn't wait to meet her. She was more excited to see her then Sirius himself, he was probably just going to reject her and she couldn't even blame him. Everything he knew about the Dark was terrible things. At least Bellatrix wouldn't question her. 

She managed her curls down and braided it in one braid before she stepped out of the bathroom and headed back over to her bed. She tilted her head and looked down at her sleeping snake. She shook her head and turned over to Trixie, who was indeed already up. She held her hands out for the young kitten and she jumped right into her arms. Trixie blinked up at her and Celena smiled back. 

Celena held the young cat tabby patterned cat close to her before gently kissing her forehead. Because Trixie didn't seem to want out of her arms she didn't place her down on the ground. Celena grabbed her wand out from under her pillow and walked over to her door, before opening it. She closed it, looking it up. She seriously didn't trust certain people in this house. Mainly Draco.

She rolled her eyes when she thought about the stupid boy, she seriously hoped he didn't do something to get himself killed because Narcissa would not be happy with her. She did not need a mad Narcissa on top of dealing with a crazy dark lord. 

Tonight was the Malfoy's Yale Ball and she was definitely not ready for that, never would she be ready for that. The people always annoyed her. It was always the people. Crazy politicians wanting to talk to her and what not. She sneered. 

She headed out to the garden, not even caring for the fact that it was still dark outside and that wouldn't be changing for at least an hour. She opened the door to the patio before closing it quietly, she really didn't need to startle Lucius' precious peacocks. She waved her hand and the candles that were placed in the room were lit. She smiled and leaned down, letting Trixie jump out of her arm.

She walked over to the bird's water and filled it up so Lucius couldn't find a reason to ban her from the gardens (not that it would work but he would definitely try something like that). A few of the peacocks were up and around, but most were sleeping. She smiled watching them. Most of them were young still. 

She tilted her head and then heard Trixie jump onto one of the couches. It was weirdly quiet it out here now that she realized it. She shook her head, knowing it couldn't mean anything. She still had her wand ready. She turned around and walked over to Trixie.

Something snapped and a door closed. 

She whipped around to see Snape coming in from the garden. "What the actual fuck?" She asked with a raise of an eyebrow.

"Language, you're 11,"

"The was a completely reasonably moment." She used as an excuse before she fell back on the couch herself. "What were you doing out - " She stopped and tilted her head. "Were you stealing potion ingredients? If you were then okay, I won't tell anyone."

"Lucius is completely fine with me taking them,"

"You are in fact one of the only half-bloods he will ever be able to tolerate so I guess that understandable." Celena said sliding her wand back up her sleeve pocket and leaning back. Trixie mewed at her before jumping into her lap.
