Summary: Narcissa can't sleep alone when it storms.
Author's Notes: Written for the prompt Harry Potter - Bellatrix/Narcissa - candle light on femslash100's Drabbletag5.



The wind howls outside her room, and she knows that Cissy is coming. She shifts in her bed to make space, and settles on her pillows, watching the movement of tree branches through the curtain. She hears shuffling feet in the corridor, and the creak of the door as it opens, but she doesn’t move until candle light spills over her face.

Cissy’s eyes are wide, and even illuminated in brilliant gold as she is, her fear has turned her pale.

“Come to bed,” Bella tells her, and lifts the covers. “We’ll leave the candle lit.”

Cissy places it carefully on the nightstand before diving under the blankets to press against Bella’s side. She cuddles close, pillows her head on Bella’s growing breast, and wraps her arms tight around Bella’s waist. She’s asleep in seconds.

Bella stays awake, threading her fingers through her sister’s hair and studying the way it catches the light. Cissy is hers to protect, even from a storm.

Thank you <3 I actually had a pretty hard time deciding how to use the prompt for this one, but I'm pleased with how it turned out. Glad you liked it!

Omg, I just died from cuteness. I love that scene, and the candle light just gives this the right athmosphere somehow <3
Great work <3

Hee! Blame the really windy day we had here. I was struggling with the prompt a bit, but then the weather turned rough and I was like "Ha! That's what I'll do!"

Glad you liked it <3

Haha, oh man, imagine adult Narcissa denying diving under covers of any sort. This is the sweetest Bella will ever be I suppose? Nice drabble, it's like a calm before a storm!

"You must be delusional, Bellatrix. I never behaved in such a manner."

Pfff, yeah. She'd deny it. But I think pre-Azkaban Bella could be sweet sometimes, and this is an example of that.
