Bellatrix stopped in front of the door, glancing back at Fleur with that same cold, knowing smile. “I do hope they’ve been entertaining,” she said softly, a faint laugh escaping her lips. “I’d hate to think they were going to waste.”

“Oh, darling,” Bellatrix purred, her voice soft and low as she approached the bed, her fingers trailing along the edge of the blankets as she leaned over Hermione’s still form. “They really are lovely, aren’t they?”

Bellatrix glanced up at her, amusement dancing in her eyes. “Responsive, hmm?” She rose slowly, her fingers still lingering on Luna’s skin for a moment longer before she turned back to Fleur, her smile dark and teasing. “I would expect nothing less from you.”

“Oh, darling,” Bellatrix purred, her voice soft and low as she approached the bed, her fingers trailing along the edge of the blankets as she leaned over Hermione’s still form. “They really are lovely, aren’t they?” Fleur swallowed hard, her mouth dry. She didn’t trust herself to speak, not yet. Her mind raced, desperate for something—anything—that would keep Bellatrix from looking too closely, from seeing just how broken Hermione truly was. Bellatrix glanced back at Fleur, a teasing glint in her eyes. “You’ve done well, my dear. I knew you would be able to handle them.” Her voice was light, but Fleur could feel the weight of her scrutiny, the unspoken challenge in her words. Bellatrix wasn’t just testing Hermione and Luna—she was testing her. Without warning, Bellatrix reached down and brushed a strand of hair away from Hermione’s face, her fingers lingering on her cold, pale skin. Hermione flinched, a faint, involuntary reaction that made Fleur’s stomach churn. Bellatrix noticed it too, and her smile widened, dark amusement flickering in her eyes. “She’s still got some fight left in her, doesn’t she?” Bellatrix murmured, her voice laced with satisfaction. “Good. It’s always more fun when they don’t give in right away.”
