Bellatrix watched Narcissa stride out of the room, her mind whirling with a million different things to say or do to make her stop this ridiculous behavior but she thought of nothing good in time. She closed her mouth after the futile search for the right thing to say and sighed heavily. Damn.
"Rodolphus!" she called, unsure of what her next course of action should be, or even if there should be one. She wanted him near now. Her sister had always been the one of the biggest constants of her life, and with her gone, she wanted her husband that much nearer. Her fingertips closed over her wand. Perhaps they would go out and exact revenge on the wizarding world at large for this. Perhaps he would make love to her until she could hear their hearts hammering so loudly that other thought was impossible. Perhaps he would break things and amuse her until thoughts of Cissy were past, but whatever he would do, she wanted it done quickly.
