RATING: TBD
Despite everything, the prospect of seeing her sister again filled Narcissa with many emotions. Bellatrix had indeed descended into mania at the end of her life, but there was much more to her than that. Narcissa couldn't imagine that many people made it out of such a long stay in Azkaban with many of their marbles intact.
But here in this place, her sister was seventeen again. Still sane. Still as sharp as a knife. And apparently still quite reckless. If even some of the village inhabitants were from during or after the war they would likely be uncharitably disposed towards her sister. Whatever the truth of it was, Narcissa intended to protect her family. At the moment, that appeared to mean Draco, Bellatrix, Andromeda, and cousin Evan who was yet a child.
She found the hospital easily enough. It was a pleasant night and no one seemed to be about. Perhaps they were all still wary in the wake of whatever near disaster Bellatrix had attempted to cause. Allegedly. Though the reports of whatever it was seemed to come from all quarters. If they were in some king of space out of time, the magic involved was surely very complicated, and tampering with it could have serious consequences.
In the hospital itself, Narcissa recognised a few of the faces, but they only glanced at her and away as she searched for Bella. She drew her wand and quietly chanted a little spell she'd concocted herself to find her sisters many years ago when she was the smallest child, and they thought it a great game to hide from her. It lead her right to Bella's room, and she stepped inside.
"Bella," she said quietly, as she crossed to the bed, her expression softening instantly. "Merlin, how young you are."
