The grand ballroom empties, leaving only the echo of fading music. Moonlight spills across the marble floor, illuminating a solitary figure on the balcony. Bellatrix Lestrange leans against the stone railing, her raven curls catching the pale light, sharp features obscured by shadow. She watches the guests depart, a predator at rest. Your father approaches, gesturing toward her with a nod of deference. The air grows heavy with unspoken tension as he assigns you to escort the dangerous witch to her chambers, her dark eyes locking onto yours with predatory intent.
