Private Message to Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange

Narcissa.

I hope you are recuperating. I was very sorry to hear that you were injured as well as Lucius.

There have been developments in the investigation. Is L well enough to be briefed?

Barty. I -

He was awake about ten minutes ago but I convinced him to rest, that there would be no more news tonight.

Amanda's sitting with him so that I may

My injuries were not .. it was nothing. A few scrapes.

Bella's here as well. Did you need her?
alt_crouch_jr: (Measures)

I suspect 'nothing' is an understatement, but I'm glad you're safe.

Also that Bellatrix is with you. Good.

[personal profile] alt_narcissa 2011-09-01 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
I've asked her to step into the parlour so we may both see your messages.

Or would you rather come?

He's still horribly pale. I think he'd prefer not to be seen except by family.

Fletcher says the first potion of Re'em blood won't be ready before tomorrow. Lucius was - that did not please him, you can imagine.
alt_crouch_jr: (Listens)

[personal profile] alt_crouch_jr 2011-09-01 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Re'em blood? Ah. I hadn't realised.

I think there's no need to bother Lucius with reports at this juncture.
alt_narcissa: (8)

[personal profile] alt_narcissa 2011-09-01 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
He'll be fine.

It's just to speed the recovery. And the natural replenishment of his blood.
alt_bellatrix: (must know how to command)

[personal profile] alt_bellatrix 2011-09-01 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think Lucius is in the best position right now, though he would bristle to see me write that.

I can brief him myself when he is more lucid, if you want to divulge the developments to me first.
alt_bellatrix: (peace is only breathing time)

[personal profile] alt_bellatrix 2011-09-01 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, Cissy.

Come meet me in the drawing room. I'll have the elf bring tea.

You have never once had the elf bring tea when it's good news, Bella.

What is it?

It is not good news, but you are my sister and I know that you will bear it with the strength and grace that you always do.


Lucius' injury was not caused by the initial explosion. It was the result of someone deliberately casting a blasting spell, sending pieces of masonry in his direction.

I see.

And is this person still alive? For how much longer, if so?
alt_bellatrix: (it is better to be feared than loved)

Re: Private Message to Bellatrix

[personal profile] alt_bellatrix 2011-09-01 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
The suspect has already been brought in.

I'll see to it that you don't wait for long.

I should like to see the culprit, if you think that can be arranged, Bella. Before the end.

I know my husband will disapprove - he never likes to think of my hands being dragged through the slime - but what he does not know, I am sure, will not further harm him.
alt_bellatrix: (nothing is impossible to those who try)

Re: Private Message to Bellatrix

[personal profile] alt_bellatrix 2011-09-01 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'll even make it so that you may see him alone.

Have I mentioned that you are my favourite sister, Bella dear?

You always do know just what I want.

[personal profile] alt_narcissa 2011-09-01 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
I shall not require tea in the drawing room, then, Bella, dear.

Kindly have it brought to my husband's apartments. Surely Amanda needs her rest.

She said only moments before I left that Lucius looked uncannily like his father. No need for her to relive that unhappy memory.

I'll direct the elf, Cissy.

Meerholt has finished analysing the trajectories. Confirms our theory. Fulton's bringing in certain persons of interest now.

Do you want to inform Narcissa? Or want me to?

Or do you think she's too delicate to be told?
alt_bellatrix: (peace is only breathing time)

Re: Private Message to Bellatrix Lestrange

[personal profile] alt_bellatrix 2011-09-01 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, but not being told will only send her further into a state of helplessness and desperation.

I will tell her, it just needs the right delivery.
alt_bellatrix: (he who wishes to obey)

Still talking to Balford about the engineering, of course. But he's clean. And very eager to cooperate, obviously.

And as for you ....

Delicate, am I?

I am not porcelain, nor ever like to be.

You'll pay for that, you know.

Soon enough. As soon as - well. At some appropriate time.

I look forward to it.
