Narcissa and Bellatrix sat in their parlour, a tray of gingerbread men, just made by the house elves, between them. At only eight and thirteen years old, Christmas was a pleasant, quiet time for them. “Where’s Daddy?” Narcissa asked suddenly, breaking the peaceful silence. Bellatrix started. She looked sharply at her younger sister. “He is away. He is doing the Dark Lord’s work. You know that.” “I know… but I miss him sometimes,” Narcissa remarked “I know you do.” “When’s he going to be home for Christmas?” Narcissa asked, biting the head off her gingerbread man. “He isn’t,” Bellatrix told her.
