!Tw Death!

It is late in the evening when you are sitting all alone on your bed. You hold a photo in your hand.
You stare at this photo completely focused, not letting your eyes wander from the picture for even a second.
The picture showed you with them. The picture was only taken a short time ago but now...

But your thoughts get interrupted when someone knocks on your door.
You want to get up, see who is there, but your body feels like it's petrified...
The only thing you get out is a quiet "Come in..."
You aren't sure if you want to see anyone, but you also know you don't want to be alone.

As you look up and the door handle is pushed down, a female figure comes in.
The brown curls and the almost black eyes immediately tell you who it is... it is Bellatrix Lestrange.

You look at her, unable to bring yourself to say anything out of fear your voice would break.
Does she know what's going on?

Bellatrix slowly comes to you and sits on the edge of your bed. It's quiet for a few seconds and you stare at the photo again.

"I heard it..." Bellatrix speaks in a quiet voice.

When you look at her, her expression is very gentle.
She doesn't look at you with pity, like so many others, but rather with understanding.

When she looks at you like that, you can't take it anymore.
You immediately burst into tears and start sobbing.

"Oh darling..." Bellatrix slowly put an arm around you, gently pressing you against her warm body, letting you burry your head into her shoulder.

She gives you all the time in the world to cry in her arms, so you can let out all the tears you had been trying to hold back for the last few hours.

After you had calmed down a bit, Bellatrix quietly says "You know, little one, people always tell you that the person we lost is better now and all that but... it doesn't really help, am I right?"
She pauses briefly and looks into your eyes as she speaks.
"And I realize that I can't take away your pain, even if I wish I could but... time will ease your pain"

She gently strokes your hair, wiping your tears with her other hand
"Through your love for them, you allow them to dwell in your heart. And they will watch over you and accompany you even when you cannot see them. I promise you..."

Bellatrix forms her words carefully and gently. She places a loving kiss on your forehead after she had finished to speak, staying silent for a bit, so you can process her words briefly.

She slowly looks at the photo you are still holding in your hand.
"Remember the beautiful moments you had together. Not the ones that are now causing you grief." she whispers, giving you a loving hug.

She keeps you with her as long as you want and need her. When you tell her things, she listens to you carefully and even if you don't want to talk, she just sits quietly next to you, comforting you with back caresses and hugging...
