This is my entry to Misswhiteblack's Challenge 'Well this is S t r a n g e'.

My pairing is Bellatrix/Rodolphus with the situation 'In Moaning Myrtle's bathroom'.

Its really short, but I didn't know what else to add in.

I Hope you like it :)


As he began to hear the pathetic sobs in the distance, he knew he must be getting close to his meeting place with his lover. Rodolphus was on his way to the bathroom of Moaning Myrtle, one of the few places in the castle where they could be almost certain that they would not be interrupted by anyone – the constant whining of Myrtle was enough to keep most people away.

"Oh, you filthy mudblood, shut up!" Bellatrix had clearly already arrived, her screeching voice echoing down the corridors towards him. Oh, how he loved to hear her tormenting the lower classes. Her yell seemed to have worked, as silence now filled his ears.

Finally, he turned the last corner and entered the bathroom. Bellatrix turned around to face him, smiling slightly. Her hair was flowing down her back, a single curl over one shoulder and her heavily lidded eyes were bright, framed with black. Rodolphus considered her to be the most beautiful girl at Hogwarts, and he was so lucky that she was his.

As soon as he entered the room, Myrtle began to protest against his presence.

"You're not allowed in here, you're a boy!"

"I thought I told you to shut it!" Shouted Bellatrix in reply.

"Myrtle, I come in here every week. Get over it already."

Myrtle screamed in outrage, before swooping away down one of the toilets, splashing water everywhere as she went.

"Finally…we're alone." Rodolphus was longing to feel her body in his arms; it had been so long since they had even held hands. He wanted to hold her tight and stay there for an eternity, but he knew they only had a few hours late at night, away from the teacher's prying eyes, to spend any time together. Their daytimes were spent either in lessons or planning their route to power within the Dark Lord's followers with their fellow Slytherins. No-one else knew about them, for fear of ruining their ruthless image.

He closed the gap between them; put his arms around her waist. They were looking into each other's eyes, about to kiss for the first time in so long, when the sound of approaching footsteps caught their attention. Myrtle's head popped up out of her toilet, an expression of pure delight radiating from her, the opportunity to tell on them had cheered her up greatly. Rodolphus hurriedly placed a disillusionment charm over the both of them before grasping Bellatrix's hand and sneaking towards the door.

When he peered around the door frame, he saw Professor McGonagall approaching at an alarmingly fast pace. Before she got too close, he pulled Bellatrix across the corridor and behind a tapestry hanging opposite them. In the passage behind, they waited for McGonagall to pass. His thoughts were purely on getting away without being caught, as he couldn't afford another detention. Bellatrix however seemed to have other things in mind, her fingers swept through his hair whilst her other hand rested on his chest. She leant towards him and, finally, they had their kiss.
