AN : This is my first story , I'm new here so please don't be too harsh
English isn't my first language , actually my third so it's kind of hard to avoid grammar mistakes. Please don't mind them too much !
Ok , before you start , mind this : I kind of messed with the characters' ages. I know that Bellatrix was born in 1951 and all the Marauders in 1960 but in this story , everyone has the same age , except for Narcissa Black and Rabastan Lestrange , who are a year younger.
The story takes place in Lucius' fifth year.
Warning : Bellatrix and Lucius swearing a lot. Click the back-button if you're scared.

It was a cold first September day. Smoke from the Hogwarts Express engine drifted over the heads of children and their family. A whistle echoed as the Hogwarts students boarded the train and waved at their parents.
Inside, a tall , pale figure with white-blonde hair strolled along the corridor, carrying a large trunk behind him.
Lucius Malfoy looked through every compartment window but he didn't see any of his friends. Halfway through the corridor , he stood still. He saw an empty compartment and thought he could just as well wait in there. When he was about to enter, he felt a tap on his shoulder.
'Hey , Lucius ', said Rodolphus Lestrange ,' we were looking for you . '
Lucius raised his eyebrows.
'Where's the rest ? ' , he asked with a drawling voice.
Rodolphus raised his hand and pointed towards the end of the corridor.
Lucius rolled his eyes and grabbed a hold of his trunk..
Rodolphus went ahead with Lucius following him. They opened the door of the second last compartment. As they entered , four heads turned and Lucius saw Rodolphus' brother Rabastan , Severus Snape , Bellatrix Lestrange and Antonin Dolohov staring up at him. He nodded at Snape , lifted his trunk and threw it in the luggage rack. As Dolohov and Rabastan continued their discussion and Snape read the Daily Prophet , Lucius sat down , finding Bellatrix still staring at him.
'What?' , he snapped.
Bellatrix grinned
'Nothing, Malfoy ', she said with a childish voice , ' I was just wondering…how could someone like you become a Prefect?' She pointed to his badge.
Lucius narrowed his eyes. ' How on earth can I know? That fool of a Dumbledore probably thought I had the right qualities. I assure you , I never wanted it . '
He sat across Rodolphus. Bellatrix finally stopped staring and turned towards Rodolphus. She grinned and captured his lips in a kiss.
After two minutes or so , Snape raised his head behind the Daily Prophet , irritated , looking at the couple.
'You know , there are empty compartments for that. Would you please spare us your distasteful performance? You look like bloody Huffelpuff teenagers ! '
Bellatrix stopped the kiss and faced Snape , smirking.
' Oh Snape , I pity you , for never knowing how it is to kiss. I mean , with your hideous face and greasy hair. Just pathetic.'
She laughed , hard , and Snape hid his face behind the newspaper once more. His face lost the little colour it had.
Lucius was about to snarl at Bellatrix when the compartment door opened.
Remus Lupin stood in the doorway , looking a bit nervous but also determined.
' They've send me to find you , Malfoy . The Prefects have to assemble in the first compartment. The Head-Boy and Head-Girl will instruct us about –'
'You're a Prefect ? ' , Bellatrix shrieked , ' You ? A shabby-looking street rat? '
Lupin didn't look at her but his face contracted.
'I'm not going , you tell them that , Lupin , I didn't ask for this bloody badge and I'm not wasting my precious free time listening to some bullshit about helping first-years and patrolling the corridors . ' , Lucius said , glaring at Remus.
Remus tapped his fingers against the door , obviously irritated.
' Being a Prefect is a responsibility you have to carry when they've chosen you. ' , Remus said , ' Prefects can give other students punishments Malfoy, something , I thought , you'd be delighted to do.'
Lucius opened his mouth to contradict but it was Snape who spoke first.
' Well , Lupin , then you should start by giving your heroic friends some lines. Potter and Black are the two biggest rule-breakers on Hogwarts. You probably act as though blind when they curse another Slytherin. You even join them , don't you? Especially when they're having these forbidden night walks… in the moonlight ! '
At those last three words, Snape smirked in a quite demented way.
The whole compartment fell silent, none of them except Lupin and Snape knowing what those words meant.
Lupin immediately turned and slammed the door shut. Snape looked satisfied and sank into his seat. Bellatrix glanced at Snape, no doubt questioning his sanity.
'What in Merlin's name was that all about? ' It was Dolohov who broke the silence.
' Oh nothing of your concern , just something about Lupin I love rubbing in his face.' , Snape replied.
' Well , then it has to be something quite embarrassing. He ran off like a sheep seeing a wolf . ' , Dolohov said.
Snape's eyes glinted.

Rain pounded against the windows. The sky had almost turned black in the last few hours. The food trolley had already passed the compartment of the Slytherins.
Rabastan was chewing on a chocolate frog and at the same time changing into his school robes.
Lucius saw some chocolate falling out of his mouth , on his cloak. He smirked at the revolting scene.
'You know , Lucius , smiling without a reason is the first step towards insanity.' , Bellatrix said , giggling.
'Oh, do shut up. You'll be the one who'll end up in St. Mungo's , screaming for hours , pulling your hair out. You're insane already.'
Bellatrix rolled her eyes , stuck out her tongue and sank back into her seat. She glanced moody at Rodolphus , as if wondering why he didn't stand up for her.
Suddenly, a muffled voice was heard outside the compartment.
Definitely a girl's voice moved closer towards the door, then it opened.
A girl with long blond hair and blue eyes stepped into the compartment. She was already in her school robes and was apparently looking for something or someone.
Bellatrix' face broke into a grin.
' So my fellow-Slytherins ! ' , she started , ' meet my adopted little sister ! '
The girl growled and said : ' Would you please stop saying that, Bella ! They're people who actually believe that . '
Bellatrix laughed loud.
'Probably the Gryffindorks, they're so stupid.'
Bellatrix leaned forwards , putted her hands under her chin and looked at her sister.
' What's the problem , Cissy?'
' Cissy? Sounds like a cat name to me .' , Dolohov said , grinning.
The blond girl looked at him , quite offended.
'My name's Narcissa.'
Dolohov's grin grew even wider.
'Ok , a horse then.' , he gave a wheezy laugh.
Bellatrix threw him look of hatred.
' Shut up , you arse. It's still you who succeeds to smell like a pig , look like flubberworm and talk like a troll ! '
Dolohov snorted , cleared his throat , smirked but didn't say anything further.
Narcissa was examining her fingernails during Dolohov's and Bellatrix ' little quarrel and Lucius couldn't help but notice her light flushed face. Her features resembled Bellatrix' a little but Narcissa looked far more friendlier than her sister.
' Please Cissy , don't mind the runt. What's the problem ? ' , Bellatrix asked Narcissa , though her eyes were still resting on Dolohov.
' Um , I was just checking my trunk and I noticed that half of my books are missing. I thought maybe Osby packed them in your trunk , you know what a forgetful house-elf he is … '
' A bloody useless rag , if you ask me ! ' , Bellatrix growled , reaching for her trunk , ' no wonder my trunk's so heavy.'
She pulled her trunk out of the luggage rack, opened it and began to rummage through the tower of books , neatly placed beside a large pile of clothes.
' Look at this mess ! He didn't even fold up my socks , the little rat . '
At last , Bellatrix extracted four books out of her trunk and gave them to her sister.
' Are these the right books ? ' , she asked .
' Yes , they were missing . ' , Narcissa replied as she step aside so Bellatrix could lift her trunk back onto the rack again , ' I think you should change into your school robes , Bella , we'll be there in twenty minutes.'
Bellatrix' eyes wided.
' I've just placed my bloody trunk back ! '
' Here , let me .' , Rodolphus said and the trunk was pulled out if the luggage rack for the second time.
' Well , I guess I'll see you at dinner Bella . ' , Narcissa said.
Bella nodded.
' Don't sit too far , Cissy. '
Narcissa smiled and turned. She left the compartment and closed its door with her foot for her arms carried the four large books.
Lucius stared at the now closed door. What was it that intrigued him so about Narcissa? She's a year younger , he had heard. Unlike Bellatrix, who was notorious for her arrogance and duelling talent , Narcissa was known to be friendly and calm. Very un-Slytherin.
Lucius looked at Rodolphus who had succeeded to find a pair of school robes between all the rubbish in Bellatrix' trunk.
Narcissa was probably a bitch in disguise. Why else is she in Slytherin?
At that moment , Lucius' thoughts were disturbed by Bellatrix' demanding voice.
' I have to change now , so if you would ? '
She pointed at the door.
Lucius, Snape, Rabastan and Dolohov looked at each other.
' But Rodolphus can stay. ' , Bellatrix said , giving her boyfriend a slavish look.
' Yuck ! '
Rabastan stumbled towards the door, quickly followed by Snape, Dolohov and Lucius.
