Warnings; Lestrange House [NBM, BBL, RL]
WHO: Narcissa, Bellatrix, Rodolphus
WHERE: the Unplottable hideout, "Lestrange House"
WHEN: Saturday, 1 January, 2000; nearing midnight
SUMMARY: Narcissa goes to issue a personal warning. COMPLETED THREAD.
RATING: PG

Unnoticed in her entrance two hours earlier, as the house was empty – no doubt post-massacre planning and celebration was taking place elsewhere – Narcissa had lit the fire in the house's front room and settled in a chair, one facing the door. The empty state did not bother her in the least, as she fully intended to wait as long as necessary, having all night to do so. Allyssa was sleeping with Carina in Carina's room, reluctant to be far from her right now, and Regulus had been asleep as well in a chair in Carina's room. If either girl awoke, he would no doubt see them back to sleep, but if someone did come to her room, she had instructed a house-elf to inform them she had been called out and would be 'late' returning.

Though casually so, her wand was in her lap beneath neatly folded hands as she stared into the fire, motionless and in shadow. The only change in this came when footsteps were heard, as then she grasped the wand completely and lifted her gaze from the fire to the door.
