A/N
"Animal" Neon Trees, off of the album "Habits". Bellatrix and Rodolphus's first kiss.
I don't own Harry Potter but if I did, I would write so many more sequels, and have one focus on this pairing.
Enjoy!
He had seen her; at Platform 9 3/4, standing with her family. He hadn't seen her face, because it had been hidden by a midnight black cloak. He did wonder if she had changed since their fifth year. He watched as she let her little sister, Narcissa, hold her hand as they boarded the train, which snapped him out of his trance. He boarded quickly, for his family was not there to wave him off, for they were in France, and cut his vacation time short when he received his O.W.L's. He had done excellent of course.
As he walked, searching for Bellatrix, he noticed a lot of students populated the train. It must be the muggle's magic gene's waking up throught London. Pausing to let a couple of misbehaving third years know that Griffyndor had just lost ten points for almost setting him(a prefect) on fire. He took a step but bumped into someone. He was about to make another house lose more points when he noticed who was glaring at him.
It was none other then his target; Bellatrix Black. Her hood was down, and he could see her hair had gotten even more curlier then the year before. Her skin was a pale white, and looked like it hadn't seen the sun all summer.
"Better watch where you're going, Lestrange, or I may have to deduct some house points from Slytherin." she winked then slide open a cabin door and went in. He was dumbstruck for a moment, then followed in pursuit. He walked in just as her trunk was about to fall on her. He rushed over and stood behind her, pushing it onto the shelf, and his hand /accidentally/ grazing her waist. She twisted around.
"What would I do without you Lestrange?" she smirked and sat on the bench opposite her trunk. He moved over to sit on the same bench but on the otherside.
"I don't know, Black, you would probably starve." he smiled a knowing smile as her fingers played with the hem of his pants, for his legs had been across her lap, but he shifted away as he said that. She began to pout.
"But, Lestrange, its cold over here now! Come back here and keep me warm!" she pouted. He leaned towards her, and her eyes glittered with mischevious glee as she leaned in. Just as they were about to kiss, the door banged open and the two leaped apart pretending to be interested in something else. It was Avery, and Rookwood. They were both Rodolphus's best friends, but they walked in whenever they felt like it. They began chatting about Quidditch, but throught the whole ride Bellatrix Black and Rodolphus Lestrange caught eachothers eye, and smiled a knowing smile.
AFTER DINNER
Rodoophus was patrolling the corridors, a prefect's duty after curfew. He hadn't gotten another chance to be alone with Bellatrix, but was hoping they might cross paths tonight.
His wish was about to come true.
As he rounded the corner he walked almost straight into Bellatrix. He noticed how close they were and suddenly knew it was now or never. He tilted his head down, and slowly closed his eyes. He felt his lips touch hers and it was the most amazing feeling in the world.
From that day on, Rodolphus Lestrange knew he wanted to marry Bellatrix Black.
