Bellatrix resisted snickering at her sister's constant propriety. Sometimes, she had to admire it, but most of the time it just got on her nerves.
"I'm doing well. It has been too long since we last talked," she replied, smiling sweetly over at Narcissa. She had heard the rumors about her and Lucius but hoped they were not true. She knew Narcissa could do so much better than that arrogant lump with a stick up his arse. But no matter; even if they were true, that did not genuinely upset Bellatrix. After all, it was her sister's pitiful life, not her own. And as things were, Bella was quite happy at the moment.
"You look nice. Do you have plans this evening?" Bellatrix prodded, hoping Narcissa would tell her what was going on.
