Order Only: Private Message to Remus and Sirius

[alt_nymphadora]

Thank you both for making this such a nice, relaxing Mother's day. Sirius, they told me it was you remembered how much I liked the sweet buns from Lomax's. They're still the best!

And, Remus, you were so good with Bea, helping her make my brekkie. And bring it up! How did you get Kreacher to allow that? Sirius, was it you that got her the ruffled pinny? She was so pleased with it.

We could get her a little domestic's cap and teach her to help Ellie at the shop. She'd love it. Shame we can't trust her over there.

Oh, and which of you helped her with the card? I didn't dare ask if that was meant to be me in the picture. Or a pony. Or something altogether else!


Are we going to see you back here tonight, Sirius? All well up there?

I wasn't much of an artist at that age, either, and both my drawing and handwriting are rather good, at least when it's not right before or after the full moon. So she's got a fighting chance at decent handwriting.

Brekkie in bed is on a long, long list of things I find it hard to imagine Mrs Black doing, actually, and some of them I'm quite sure she did do.

Oh, now, there's no reason to go putting thoughts like that in anyone's mind!

And here all I was thinking of was 'holding her baby sons like a loving mum' and 'reading the paper in her dressing gown' and other ordinary things like that.

Of course that's all you meant. It's you.

So. Do you think she ever let babies spit up on her shoulder? Or cooed silly nonsense at them?

That voice of hers gives me nightmares--imagine her singing lullabies!


Explains a lot, doesn't it?

I can't imagine she ever let her babies spit up on her, cooed at them, sung to them, or any of it. She really was an absolutely horrible person.

Now you've got me thinking about your cousin. I can't imagine Bellatrix is any more affectionate a mum than Walburga was. Did she let Rigel spit up on her, when she came to visit?

Oh, my, no.

There's a nanny for that.

Body fluids. Messes. Fussing.

I'm not actually sure I saw Bella touch Rigel.
