hook, line... // tazie & bellatrix

Anastazie hadn’t expected to see Bellatrix out and about in Hogsmeade. Not because she expected her to be hiding away from the world after what happened, as she couldn’t imagine anything chasing Bellatrix Black into hiding. Rather, she was surprised by the coincidence of it.

Just that morning, she and a few other Ravenclaw members were caught up in lively speculation about the attack. In the fashion of some of her favorite aspects about the house, it wasn’t so much a debate on what was true and not or where blame needed to be thrown. Instead, they were wondering who the mysterious attacker could be, what they were aiming to achieve, and if they accomplished it or if Bellatrix managed to thwart them. Regardless, it was a conversation that had left the whole event sitting at the top of her mind the rest of the day.

So, to see the eldest Black sister suddenly before her felt like a watered-down sort of fate she was willing to believe in. It was the universe’s way of, at the very least, allowing Tazie to see that she was okay. She took a moment to mentally calculate the acceptability of approaching her and asking, then a decision was made and she was off.

“Bellatrix. It is so good to see you. What brings you up to Hogsmeade on a windy day like this?” The normal pleasantries had to be gotten out of the way first, of course. She wasn’t an animal. “I bet you have been asked to death how you are doing. So I will just say, it is awful what happened. I cannot believe the state we are living in sometimes.”
