BACKDATED -- Draco/Bella Who: Draco Malfoy & Bellatrix Lestrange Where: Bellatrix private study, Lestrange Estates When: 12 April, 1998 Summary: Bellatrix has Draco over for dinner with her and her husband. Rating: PG-13/R Status:Complete
Dinner was excellent, as always. The elves in Lestrange Estate were of the higest quality, of course, but she made sure the they had the Estate cleaned, shined and especially perfect one this day. She made sure the kitchen provided all of Draco's favourite foods and sweets for pudding, and that the best elderberry wine available was on hand. Because she had been his teacher, it was natural that she had learnt the things her favourite student liked. More importantly, she learnt them because he was her nephew, and she loved him. She remembered the perfect, beautiful baby he had been, before Potter had taken her Lord away and she'd been locked away in Azkaban. She was glad that no-one had been able to bring him to that horrible place. She could not have borne him seeing her and his uncle in the state they had been there. Not that Lucius would have dared either.
Dinner was perfect, and Rodolphus was charming and engaging with his nephew. After dinner, the two men--she thought of Draco as a man now--retired to her husband's study for a time. She was sure they were speaking of Ministry matters...and knowing Rodolphus, his nephew's latest conquests. It gave her time to ruminate over her student's meteoric climb within the Ministry, and the conversation they'd had the week prior. She was not worried that they had been gone a while...Draco would seek her out.
She sat at her desk, going over a new law that the Dark Lord wanted pushed through the Wizengamot soon. It would solidify the new law that all pureblood witches and wizards would have to own at least one Muggleborn slave by setting forth the rules, fines and auction sites for said practise. It was something she was sure Draco would be very interested in.
