@CrucioAndCurls toddler. Rosy is reaching for Rab, for Mama, but they don’t move just staring blankly at the crumpled heap that is The Dark Lord’s Heir.
“Mama, Papa help- help, please!” She screams through thick tears. “Daddy please-!”
@CrucioAndCurls In the nursery Rosy tosses and turns tangled up in her blankets and wrapped up in a nightmare.
“Daddy no— Papa please!” She shrieks as her Father, her actual father, stares down at her with cold hollow eyes her family and Mama’s friends stand in a closed circle around the +
@CrucioAndCurls “I doubt they’ll want him there. Not safe. They’ll be checking in on Rosalind’s well being not his.” Shoves her shoulder gently as she all but glares at him.
“I know, I was teasing. Just take a breath. Think muderous thoughts. If it wouldn’t make things worse I’d string him up +
@CrucioAndCurls “Well you can’t go saying it like that.” He grimaces. “We have to -show- them those things we can’t just say them. They won’t believe it if we just tell them.”
He moves his head in acknowledging as Bellatrix speaks. “Good girl, then. Still this will be much more than just +
@CrucioAndCurls for them to investigate and there never will be. His slipped, cracked, got a death wish but we don’t. The Dark Lord will see he is punished appropriately. Our job is to remain uninteresting.”
They’ve done that. For years they’d done that and Rodolphus fucked it all up in one +
@CrucioAndCurls fucking what?” Rabastan had heard just fine and still is unable to comprehend the words strung together in such a way. “He tried to sell the Dark Lord’s daughter?”
Baffled. Befuddled. Livid! “He’s not just drunk he’s gone mental! He’ll kill us all!”
@CrucioAndCurls Rabastan watches carefully as Bellatrix works herself up with her explanation, his own pale complexion growing darker the longer she speaks. He startles out of his own thoughts as she drops to her knees.
“Fuck.” He helps her stand, walking them both over to the settee. “He +
@CrucioAndCurls The trio lays there a while longer. Rabastan making sure Rosy is deep into her slumber before carefully removing himself from the mattress. He helps Bella up and the pair creeps of the nursery.
Once they begin down the hall Rabastan exhales heavily. “I love you, and I love her,+
@CrucioAndCurls Rosy’s ungaurded mind just reads of fear.
Rosy covers her face with Puff, beginning to cry harder. “Stay, Mama, Papa, stay.” She pleads.
“Okay, baby, okay. Breathe, Rosalind. Mama and Papa are here.” He assures, tapping his wand holster to transfigure all of their clothing +
@CrucioAndCurls “This crankiness sounds like a job for Puff, certainly. Use his wings to dry your eyes too. Be a good girl, little love. Don’t fight it, you’re so tired, Papa sees it in your eyes.”
“N-Not cranky.” Rosy hiccup-huffs
@CrucioAndCurls she’s already dreaming and going to sleep wakes her up back in that awful little playroom.
The toddler whimpers as her fingers flex and press into Mama’s shoulders. Rabastan follows quietly up the stairs, checking back over his shoulder to make sure it truly is just them.
