[alt_bellatrix]

No doubt you've been waiting for this, so I'll just get on with it:

How long has it been going on?

Ridiculous. If she lost weight then it's her own fault, silly girl. No one ever wasted away because they couldn't have their sweets and bonbons - no one but a fool.

Why you persist in seeing has as a tiny, feeble thing....do you not know that you only encourage her to stay that way?

[alt_rodolphus]

You used to encourage her too, once, and now it seems you've opted for shortcuts.

I can't think of many tiny, feeble things that would have success in resisting you.

You must at least concede to that.

[alt_bellatrix]

Oh, they might if they all had you to hold their hand.

And there's something else going on, too...something else you haven't told me.

[alt_rodolphus]

Oh? What is it now.

[alt_bellatrix]

Hydra's only been back a few days, but her things are already scattered about the house, the kitchen elves have gone through the eggs in half the usual time, and...

You took her out of school early, didn't you.

[alt_rodolphus]

[alt_bellatrix]

You are fortunate that I am very, very busy right now.

[alt_rodolphus]

I'm not necessarily sure that's true.

[alt_bellatrix]

Not this tired act again. You had better



No, no. You will not draw me into this. Not now. My energies are better utilised elsewhere...and the worst part is that you know this.

Go back to holding hands, then. Some of us have a Protectorate to serve.
