The sound of her briskly tapping fingers could be heard all throughout the Atrium. It echoed even louder than the sound of people apparating and the noises of the fireplaces. Quite a few of the workes shot her annoyed glances, but she returned them with one of matching intensity. Gabby was pregnant, and not in the mood for waiting. Let everyone blame her hormones, she didn't care, Lestranges weren't kept standing around like this.
Her lips pursing in impatience, she watched the witches and wizards from all the different departments hurry by. Every now and then she thought she was an old Hogwarts student of a friend of hers and she gave them a distracted smile. She might apologise later, if she felt like it.
Shooting the welcome Witch another reproachful glare, she sighed in exasperation. She hadn't even wanted to come here today, but Draco had partically forced her. Something about Aunt Narcissa wanting the baby become acquainted early, it was ridiculous! The baby was barely a baby!

The tall gangly form of Alex Lewis appeared out of nowhere in the gigantic Atrium. He shook off the feeling of Apparition and looked around to see if there was anyone he recognized.

Tossing her thick curly hair over her shoulder again, she heard a crack beside her and she threw another annoyed glance at a man that appeared obviously by apparition. It showed how impatient she was by the fact that she didn't even bother to judge his appearance. Pregnancy made her such a bitch.
Turning back to the desk, her normally exceptional features, turned into a Malfoy esque snalr, that had obvious been rubbed off on her. "What is taking so long," turning back around she barely heard let alone listened to the Welcome witch, stutter something like "I'm sorry Miss Lestrange, I will go find out," in a small nervous voice.

Bellatrix apparated, like usual, into the ministry, and made straight for one of the elevators. But two people caught her eye. Both of whom she had not lost contact with since she left Hogwarts. Gabriella was engaged to Corbin, and since her and Corbin shared the girls, she saw an aweful lot of Gabriella also. Alex however worked in her department as an Auror. "Morning Lewis," she said as she caught up to him Then she remembered she has something to discuss with Gabriella. "Hold an elevator for me, will you?"
She bee-lined for Gab, and greeted her with a smile. Did she like the girl? No. Were there more important things at the moment? Yes. "Morning Lestrange," she said. "I have a matter of importance to discuss with you and Corbin. Could you give me a moment tonight when I come to pick up the girls?"

As she heard another crack, she rounded on the woman again, it took nothing more than an angry glare for the woman to finally scuttle off in search of Gabriella's cousin with another 'I'm terribly terribly sorry Miss Lestrange.' Normally it would at least amuse her to see someone so scared of her, but she didn't have time for it now.
Placing a hand on her barely noticeable bump, she breathed deeply, she'd probably end up hurting the baby at this rate, the doctor had told her stress wasn't good. Though she hadn't paid much attention to the person who had apparated, on hearing her name she turned. Ready to shout at who ever had addressed her as 'Lestrange,' not even a Miss. When her annoyed eyes met Bella she spoke calmly. "I'm not one of your workers Bellatrix, I'd rather you didn't refer to me using just my second name, it is extremely rude," with a sweet smile she waited for whatever the woman wanted to say. No doubt it was something about the twins.
Trying to rid her face of hostility, she actually apologised. "Sorry, it's been a hectic morning," raising a hand to her brow she swept her bangs away and sighed, finally managing a polite smile for Bella. "Sure, of course," she said distractedly, Gabby could put up with the woman for a moment anyway.

Bellatrix barely supressed a smile at Gabriella's obvious irritation. She watched the girl touch her stomach. She had heard about the pregnancy, and couldn't help but think, been there, done that. "Marvelous," Bella said checking the large clock on the wall. "See you tonight then. I'd better get going." she said, and strode off to the elevator with Alex.
