"I won't be the one to leave this in pieces!" A shrill cry broke through the silence of the Slytherin common room. Midnight had just fallen upon the grounds of Hogwarts, and the only two Slytherins that seamed to still be awake were in a heated argument. A girl with long black hair was biting back tears with rage, and it was all directed at a boy that looked upset but all the while annoyed with her.
"Listen to me, Bellatrix!" He yelled, trying to keep his temper under control, "You need to calm down, you'll wake everyone up, if you don't!"
The girl that appeared to be named Bellatrix appeared to be even more enraged by his words. "What? Do you not want every one to see the ass that you really are!?" She hissed out at him. "Ohhh, wait, I forgot, you're the great Rodolphus! Th one that every girl in Slytherin seems to just adore, no one could ever think anything bad about you!"
"Bellatrix...Bella, don't be like that. You know that there are people that hate me." Rodolphus said running his fingers through his dark brown bangs, something he did when embarrassed or nervous.
"Great!" Bellatrix said sarcastically, "You took that as a COMPLIMENT!"
Rodolphus's cheeks turned red. "Listen to me. I didn't take anything as a compliment. I'm not trying to be rude to you, I'm trying to apologize to you!" There was a hint of desperation in the boy's voice. "Bella, I really care for you." he whispered, running his fingers through his bangs.
Shaking her head, trying to stop herself from crying, Bellatrix choked out, "Rodolphus, if you cared for me than you wouldn't have called me crazy and said that i'm overly obsessive." She whispered, finally letting her emotions get the best of her, while tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Rodolphus's face hardened, "Bella, that is not what I meant! All I said was the truth, and it is true that you have been obsessive lately about that stupid man." He snapped defensively.
"He's not stupid." Bellatrix hissed. "He is our future."
"Hardly." Rodolphus said smirking, "Bellatrix, do you realize how many brilliant wizards have wanted to eliminate Mud bloods, yet haven't succeeded?" He asked superiorly.
Anger bubbled up in Bellatrix, seeming to burn away her tears. "He's different. He's amazing. He's all powerful. He's The Dark Lord." She hissed, passion in her eyes.
Rodolphus gave away no emotion on his face. "So, you are putting all your beliefs and trust into a man that you've never even talked to?" he asked.
Bellatrix bit her lip and nodded her head. "Yes, yes I am, and I've got no regrets."
With a pain endused smile, Rodolphus whispered, "Well then, good bye, Bellatrix. I see this as he closing of our relationship, if all you can think about is that stupid prat, then I don't want anything to do with you. However, I want you to realize all of this is happening because of that man who calls himself The Dark Lord. Your obsession with him, it has gotten out of hand. Do you even sleep, anymore?" He asked with a bitter chuckle. "Without him none of this would have happened, and in the long run I hope you make the right decision. He'll be the death of you. Oh, and Bella, I really did love you. And, if you need me, I will always be there for you." He whispered.
Then, without a word, Rodolphus turned around and walked to the boys dormitory, leaving Bellatrix alone, speechless, shocked, and reflective, with noting but the light of a dying fire to comfort her.
