Chapter Text
It was late August evening. The fireplace in the Malfoy Manor was lit. Besides it, on the light-colored sofa sat Narcissa Malfoy.
"Cissa" Lucius hurriedly walked in the room. Even hurry didn't take away his grace, "There's a letter... From Mungo's. Something urgent."
Narcissa turned to face her husband and took the letter from his hands.
After hastely opening the letter, she read:
"Greetings Narcissa Malfoy,
We are informing you, what your sister Bellatrix Lestrange has been urgently sent to the hospital from the Azkaban."
"Luci, something with Bella." shortly said Narcissa, "I'm going to the Mungo's"
She ran to the room, when dressed in her usual dark green robes with shining ornament. Lucius gave them to Narcissa for their anniversary.
"I'll be back as soon as I can. " Said Narcissa and took floo powder from the pouch on the shelf.
"St. Mungo Hospital. " She said and disappeared in the green fire.
...
When Narcissa arrived she was greeted by one of the healers.
“Mrs Lestrange is in the maternity ward right now”
“What?” Narcissa was unable to believe what she was hearing.
“We don't know how it happened for sure. Come now, Mrs Malfoy. Your sister is waiting!”
“Oh, Bella! What happened?” Worried Narcissa.
There were two Aurors guarding the ward. Inside she saw her sister holding… an infant.
“Bella!” Yelled Narcissa, running to her sister.
“Cissy!” Said Bellatrix in her usual tone.
“Leave us. ” Narcissa coldly commanded the healers.
“Of course, Mrs Malfoy, Mrs Lestrange. ” Healer left the room.
“Cissy, this is Adel. ” Smiled Bellatrix.
“She looks just like you. ” Narcissa looked at the child, “But… Bella, who's the father?"
“You wouldn't understand…”
“I always understood you. We are sisters, Bella! Please, don't hide this from me!”
“Fine… It was… Alres. We met in the Azkaban. He… Always understood me. I'm not sure what he can love, but if he was able when… He would have loved me, Cissy!”
“Who's he, Bella?” Narcissa started to get suspicious.
“A dementor” Quietly whispered Bellatrix.
“A dementor?..” Repeated Narcissa in disbelief, “But… Is it even possible?”
“He watched me from the beginning! One time I complemented him as a joke. But he… He returned me one happy memory. And you know which one? The one were me and you swore to always stay together! It happened when 'Meda ran away… "
“Oh, Bella” Narcissa embraced her sister, “Of course I remember!"
“From what moment were was something special between us. And here's the result” Bellatrix looked at her daughter, “Cissy, please, take her in. I don't want Adel to end up in a different family or even worse in some muggle orphanage.”
“Of course, Bella. I wouldn't let my niece to stay anywhere else. By the way, what's her surname?”
“Black”
