Esmeralda woke slowly in soft blankets and a warm room. She peered over the covers in confusion and squinted in the beam of bright sunlight that had woken her up. A fire was burning across from her bed and was keeping the cold chill at bay in the room. Sitting up against her pillows the small witch frowned as she recalled the last nights events and mind blowing information dump. Just as she was about to delve deeper into her thoughts a loud crack echoed through her room making her jump. Narcissa Malfoy, who had been alerted by the house elf, looked down at her through reading glasses and Esmeralda put tremendous effort into not expressing any amusement at the use of them by the blonde.

"How do you feel?" The blond asked politely.

"Peachy" Esmeralda said distractedly as she suddenly realised her wand wasn't on her.

Panic crossed her face for a split second before she spotted it on the bedside table and she relaxed. Narcissa smirked at the other witch and promptly waved her own wand. The curtains where magically drawn back, now fully flooding the large room with light.

"If you don't mind I would like to show you around your quarters while your bath is being drawn. Then I will leave you to breakfast" The blonde murmured quietly as she looked down at the smaller witch below her.

"Yes. That would be lovely Madam Malfoy" Esmeralda said politely, she decided that she liked the taller woman. Narcissa was polite but the young witch was betting on there being a much wilder side to the pure blood woman.

"Please call me Narcissa or Cissy. We will most likely be sisters in-law within the month" The blonde witch said as she waited for Esmeralda to slip out of bed and adjust her clothes.

"Oh yeah...a month. That is going to take me a while to get used to" Esmeralda said and gave a nervous chuckle. Narcissa smiled knowingly at her.

"Don't worry about time. Your magic is already craving Bellatrix's. Your relationship with my sister is destined to happen within the blink of an eye but that will not effect the love and companionship that will come from it. It will feel natural trust me. Now, these are your rooms until you decide not to stay, but I dare say you will soon be in Bellatrix's chambers anyway" Narcissa said and gestured gently with her arms at various features as she led Esmeralda on a short tour.

The small witch was very happy with her temporary rooms. Her bedroom was luxurious and her sitting room was warm and cozy. She also had a master bathroom that adjoined her bedroom with a huge bath, shower and vanity. In addition to this her walk in closet held a large multitude of clothing, shoes and accessories with another vanity that was decked out with all the latest wizarding makeup brands.

"Merlin's beard! I don't know how to thank you enough. It has been so long since I've seen, let alone had any of these wonderful things Narcissa!" Esmeralda said, beaming as she brushed her fingers along clothes and shoes that magically changed to fit her petite but curvy frame.

Narcissa smiled warmly in response and then beckoned for her to follow. As they walked back to the large bathroom the elf who had drawn the water announced that it was ready for the Dark Mistress to use.

"Thank you Twinky. Esmeralda, I will let you clean up. Do take your time there is no rush. I cannot imagine how good it would be to become reacquainted with luxury after so long. Once you are done Twinky will deliver your breakfast and then we have a prophecy to discuss" Narcissa said kindly and then left the white haired woman to her bath.

As Narcissa closed the doors and began walking back down the hallway to the dining hall when Dilly, Bellatrix's personal elf, appeared beside her and announced that her Mistress had awoken. Thanking the small elf the blonde turned on her heel and walked back the way she had come to the rooms across from Esmeralda's.
Walking into the dark rooms she found her sister standing by the open window obviously brooding.
