Severus found Hyacinth curled up, tucked into Bellatrix's side as they perused through an old photo album of Narcissa's sitting on Hyacinth's sofa in front of the healthy fire. Hyacinth had been taken in by three pictures, one of each sister in their school days.
A moving picture of Narcissa was first. Severus remembered it fondly as he had been the one to take the picture. Narcissa wasn't looking at the camera and hadn't even known a picture had been taken until much later. She leaned slightly to the left, talking to someone, presumably Bellatrix, given the somewhat stern look on her face that she only ever got when talking to Bella.

The next was a picture of Bellatrix, eyes hard; she smirked and chuckled slightly before she began to say something, words probably full of the venom Severus knew she could spit before the picture stopped and restarted itself.

The final picture was of Andromeda. This picture seemed to have been taken with a muggle camera because it didn't move. Severus wondered if it had been Ted who had taken the picture. Severus knows that Andromeda had kept in contact with Narcissa for a short while after being taken out of the family line, so maybe that was how she came into possession of the picture of her sister.

Hyacinth looked up at Bellatrix's face from her position curled up next to her and noticed how much she still looked like her younger self. She also noticed how much she had physically changed, how life had taken Bellatrix and tried to beat the soul from her body no matter how hard she fought against it.
If her portrait was anything to go by, Narcissa had stayed much the same. She hadn't faced the same things Bellatrix had faced though time still showed itself in the smile lines on Narcissa's face that appeared even in her portrait.
As for Andromeda, well, Hyacinth had never met her, hadn't even known of her existence until fifteen minutes ago, so she really could not compare. What she could compare, however, was how much the three sisters looked alike and how much they didn't look alike. One thing was certain, they were for sure most definitely sisters, no doubt about it.
"It's good to see you, Bella", Severus' voice nearly sent Hyacinth sprawling on the floor as she pressed a hand to her chest in shock. Bellatrix's laugh was more of a cackle than anything else, and Hyacinth shot her a betrayed glare.
"Good to see you too, Sevvy", she replied, voice less hoarse now that she had ample amounts of tea, water, and other beverages at her disposal. She nudged Hyacinth discreetly as she used her little nickname for Severus, more to embarrass him in front of his daughter but also for the nostalgia of it all.
Severus rolled his eyes, not even bothering to argue with the woman over her constant use of that blasted nickname. He tried not to smile as he heard Hyacinth giggle—anything for his daughter.
"Get ready for dinner, you two. Lucius expects all of us to be there, said he has a surprise " Severus punctuated the sentence with dry sarcasm, an eye roll and jazz hands. Hyacinth burst into laughter, standing up and tugging on Bellatrix's arm.
"C'mon, Bella, you can help me choose what to wear."
