After a year of research and investigation, Hermione and Narcissa find themselves stuck deep underground beneath Black Manor.

Until Narcissa Malfoy shows up in her office one day, asking for help investigating a lead that says her sister - Bellatrix Lestrange - might not actually be dead.

The low drone of the wind outside the car is soothing, in its own way.
