Bellatrix, always one for the dramatics according to Severus, who was sat in Hyacinth's armchair, one leg tossed casually over the other and a finger of fifty years aged scotch, vetoed half of Hyacinth's wardrobe before she settled on an outfit for her goddaughter. 

She picked an off-the-shoulder bell-sleeved cream top with dark brown leaf detailing paired with a high waist pair of light brown trousers into which Hyacinth tucked her top. She wore high-heeled camel brown boots and gold jewellery to finish the outfit.

Her makeup was kept to only eyeliner, a little mascara for her eyes, and a clear gloss for her lips

Her makeup was kept to only eyeliner, a little mascara for her eyes, and a clear gloss for her lips. Her hair she let Bellatrix style, and Bellatrix wanted her hair to be a surprise, so she kept her eyes closed the entire time.

When she opened her eyes, her hair was in two braids that led into a rose-shaped bun that sat low at the nape of her neck.

Hyacinth grinned and thanked Bella. Bellatrix bathed and changed into one of Narcissa's old dresses, deciding to leave her hair wild and free. In typical Bellatrix fashion, her dress was classy and black with bell sleeves that Bellatrix rolled up to her elbows. The dress had a slightly lower neckline and ended at Bellatrix's ankles.

The three of them joined Lucius for dinner at precisely five pm, and they ate with quiet conversation

The three of them joined Lucius for dinner at precisely five pm, and they ate with quiet conversation. Lucius stood and tapped a spoon on the side of his wine glass to draw everyone's attention. 

"I found Nagini" was all he said, and Hyacinth was confused until she heard the hissing. Hissing with an undertone, something she couldn't quite hear but knew she could understand. Hyacinth hesitantly stood from her chair as the hissing grew closer, and the doors opened to let a gigantic snake through.

The snake, which Hyacinth assumed to be Nagini, surveyed the room before the yellow serpentine eyes locked onto Hyacinth. The snake slithered over to her quickly, and Hyacinth felt a calm rush over her. 

"Master. I can smell my master on you," the snake hissed, and it took Hyacinth a few seconds to answer.

"Who is your master?" she hissed back, ignoring the shocked gasp from Bellatrix.

"Tom" was all the snake replied, and Hyacinth understood.

"My father," she said and could've sworn the snake's eyes lit up before she circled her, forcing her to sit and settle her head on Hyacinth's lap.

"Oh, little hatchling", and if a snake could coo, Hyacinth expected Nagini would be doing as much.

"Your father is alive, you know", the snake said, surprising Hyacinth. "I wouldn't be alive if he wasn't. He's alive. Just lost," Nagini finished and promptly fell asleep as Hyacinth stroked the scales of her head and back.

Without looking up from the snake, she spoke up. 

"We need to start looking for my father."
