You find your way back to your carriage and find that your groomsman has packed all of the items you have purchased into you Trunk of Holding and that he is able to move it about very easily. It has been a very successful excursion, and in addition to the items you have already bought, you know you can expect Owls to deliver further packages of things your have ordered to Lestrange Manor and to Hogwarts later on.

Unfortunately you are caught by a sudden downpour of rain and drenched before you can pull out your wand to cast a water repelling charm, temporarily turning your wand into a magical umbrella. You manage to get into your carriage without further difficulty, but travel back home in wet clothes.

By the time you arrive home, the storm has broken and you see Lestrange Manor from the outside. It is a truly impressive sight befitting the noble pureblood family to which you belong. You feel a pang of sadness that you don’t have more family to share it with. If only Bella didn’t travel abroad so often. As you think this thought, a sudden realisation comes to you, and the mystery of Bella’s foreign adventures suddenly makes sense. She was looking for you! For Lord Voldemort that is. Perhaps now that you have returned, she will spend more time at the Manor, and you can… No, those are not your thoughts, they are the girl’s, but the anticipation of Bella coming to stay does give you a shiver of excitement that is very enticing.

When the carriage comes to a halt, you order your groomsman to see to your bags and the horses, and on entering the manor, you ask your nanny to run you a hot bath and get the fire going in your bedroom. Despite it being later summer, you feel chilly in your wet clothes, and as soon as you are able to, you retire to your en-suite bathroom and strip out of them dumping them on the floor unceremoniously. You notice that you avoid looking into the bathroom mirror, but this is soon forgotten as you slip into the luxuriously hot bath.

The water feels incredible on your skin, sending a tingle of pleasure and relaxation through your body
