Bellatrix and Belvina
Bellatrix was making the most of this gathering. She was talking to people right and left, making as many connections as possible. This might not be what she preferred, but it was what she was raised to do.
Spotting Belvina, she smirked to herself. It was about time she got to speak to the woman. She had not forgotten how she had refused to answer her letter some time ago, but she could be forgiving when it came to family. She would give the woman a chance to make things right.
"Belvina," she said as she approached her. "How I've longed to get the chance to meet you. I'm Bellatrix, which you no doubt know already."
She looked at her. Dramatic red robes, she approved. She was, as always, favouring the dramatic herself. "Now I should be upset that you did not respond to my missive all those months ago, but I am nothing if not lenient to family. I understand that it was not prudent at the time."
