Who: Victoria VanHorn and Bellatrix Black. When: Early evening, Sunday. Where: The staircases. What: Victoria asks for help, Bellatrix meets a Muggle. Excitement ensues.
So, her ever so devoted, loving parents had decided to take Andromeda out of school. Brilliant. Perhaps time in their presence would do the girl some good, however still- Bellatrix felt slighted she hadn't been informed of their intentions. Nevertheless, she hadn't been particularly caring in regards to Andromeda or Regulus and where Narcissa had visited, she had predominately steered clear of the hospital wing- having only helped Molly get in to visit Arthur because of the hysterics the redhead had been displaying.
And yet, all of a sudden- everyone knew everything. Regulus had been wounded in his last task and kept it from them all, even his fellow Death Eaters but now it seemed it was scarcely a secret. Of course, only few knew exactly how it happened and even fewer why- but it was all terribly dramatic especially combined with Rodolphus having just informed her Ted Tonks had been to see her sister in the infirmary. And why had Narcissa not told her this? Everyone was so far off on their own agenda to partake in the greater scheme of things, to do the Greater Good.
Sighing, Bellatrix pinned her prefects badge to her sweater in preparation to do rounds. She doubted Lucius would be joining her this evening, as she had frankly seen very little of her companion as of late. Pulling her hair back into a ponytail, she left the Dungeons quietly managing to hit the stairs leading to the Entrance Hall just as they were changing. One flight of stairs that would've taken her to the heart of Hogwarts lead to five leading in the mysterious direction of Ravenclaw. "Great," she muttered, waiting patiently as they carefully rearranged before she continued.
Mostly alone outside the Commons, as half the school lay dead, dying, or comatose, she took notice of a woman wandering the halls and poking about as if curious how to get around the school. Laughing quietly, Bellatrix approached her. "Lost much?"
