Bellatrix is not an 'it'. She has done terrible things during her life. Monstrous things. Nevertheless, she is not an 'it'. I would have thought that someone so markedly allied to the Light would understand that reducing your enemies to objects, no matter how inhuman their behaviour, is a step down the path to Dark wizardry.
She is deeply disturbed. Do you understand? I don't for a minute ask you to feel any sympathy for her. But understand that she is outside, and afraid, and a poltergeist. And there is enough energy in the world at this time for her to truly make her presence felt. If she is close to me, everyone will be safer.
I understand, though. It's not pleasant, having one's home invaded, is it? If you are so fixed in your mind, so be it, but I cannot travel outside Thorne alone. For that matter, I cannot leave this confinement for another day. Who will take me to find her?

Oh? Can you think of anyone better to lecture on how such a fall begins? But if we're going to bandy around words like 'respect', you can treat me with such small respect as I've earned and do me the courtesy of speaking of Bellatrix as 'she', and not 'it'.
I've changed my mind. You're a sick man and I've no business taking you away from Poppy's ministrations. The poor woman's tried long enough to put you back together again - I'd be breaking Oath if I put you in danger.
So your friend will just have to learn patience somehow. Respect to you or not, no ghost of an unrepentant soul is crossing the wards of Thorne. Deal with it.

You?

Just don't give me that crap about "steps down the path to Dark Wizardry". It sounds ridiculous, coming from you.
The ghost does not come to Thorne. Out of respect to my family, and to all others Lestrange has harmed in cold blood.
I'll be right there.

Get well soon, Severus.
