What: A chance meeting.
Where: A Tesco.
When: 6 September.
Who: Draco, Lucius, and Bellatrix.
Warnings: Draco getting scarred for life. Again. EDIT: Death Eater Sex Scenes (No Draco Involved Thank Merlin).

Draco is not, as it happens, expecting anything interesting to happen to him this evening. He's in a Tesco in Muggle London picking up a few things before heading back to where he's staying the night so that he can relax and have tea and something to eat. Living without a house elf around has been difficult but he's managing well enough—or at least without outright disaster. He's not completely useless. Most of the time.

Mostly he just wants to grab what he wants, pay, and go. Muggle brands escape him so he's just picking what looks good, trying to remember how the Muggle money system works offhand. It's not too difficult thankfully, after Scorpius helped explain it to him. And lo: one Draco Malfoy, prim and proud as ever, hair tied back, hat pulled down, and coat on to protect from the rain outside, carrying a small number of essentials as he makes his way to pay.

Bellatrix is twenty-nine years old and has never been inside a muggle convenience store. She has also never really felt the need to go inside one. As a matter of fact, she hasn't had much of a taste for Muggle London as a general rule. Things had happened, working for the D.M.A.C. will do that, but this is her spare time, so why would she –– well, the explanation is simple: Bellatrix just so happens to be right and proper sloshed; in fact, there might be things at play here that aren't necessarily alcoholic or legal in nature. That and it was an equally inebriated Lucius' idea, or so she swears.

There is exactly one reason why Draco can't spot them from a mile away, and that reason is a gaggle of teenage goths who block them from his view for long enough to turn this into a proper horror show. One moment, it's just Draco, unsuspecting muggles, and his groceries, and in the next, there's Bella, steadying and steadied by Lucius, less than an arm-length away, gesturing towards his shopping, and informing Lucius with amused haughtiness: "Look at this mu-– peasant, he obviously can't find the sweets section, either."
