Re: Bellatrix and Belvina
"It sounds like you have a great deal on your plate," she said with a smile. "You must have one of the foremost positions in the Ministry, am I right?"
Belvina was glad Bellatrix decided to drop the offer - or demand - and smiled. "Thank you," she said politely.
This tete-a-tete had been enough to convince her that whilst the woman might be insane, she was also powerful. Belvina knew that to curry her favour whilst staying far away would be hard but she didn't want to be pulled into the current and under. That wouldn't do at all.
"Would you excuse me? I fear I have a headache coming on and I should lie down for a while. Perhaps I'm not over my illness as much as I had thought," she said, deciding that getting away from Bellatrix before she brought up the topic of marriage was a most prudent idea.
