A/N This will be a multi-chapter story! It's AU especially at the end. I have the entire story planned out already so Writer's Block hopefully will not be a problem. The second chapter should be posted soon enough. If it's not posted quick enough to satisfy you, just PM me. I'll see what I could do! I know there's probably some grammar problems that I failed to notice. PLEASE tell me if you find any of them. Read and Review! Let me know if I should continue with this or not. By the way, what would you guys think for a suitable title for this? I'd really like to know what you think. Thanks again for your time and consideration. Sorry for this outrageously long Author's Note. I'll try not to do that again. On to the disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I know you all know this, but I do not own Harry Potter! That belongs to Queen Rowling, and I am NOT JK Rowling...Obviously. The song "Pureblood" belongs completely to Swish and Flick, Death Eater Tango belongs to MoM(Ministry of Magic) I think, Illegal Love Potion belongs to The Parselmouths, and Death Eater March belongs to MOMAO(Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office) Look them up on YouTube!
"Not necessarily, Andy. It's a Muggle song, they'll know." If you happened to be in the Slytherin dungeons, you would see two fifth years lounging on the royal armchairs in the right hand corner.
"We could do it, Rab. We've performed Muggle songs before, and they didn't mind it one bit."
"Keep thinking that. We're Slytherins, I'm almost positive they minded." Rab complained.
"Just read the damn lyrics!" Andy exclaimed, shoving the parchment into the young boy's hands. He studied the paper and lounged back even further into the armchair, resting his feet on the glass table.
The two occupants of the Slytherin Dungeons were none other than Andromeda Black and Rabastan Lestrange. They were currently having a row about a song they would be performing in their "Common Room Rock" party they had every night with the help of Fletcher Parkinson and Cressida Greengrass.
Rabastan sighed, "Can't we just stick to 'Pureblood'? Fletcher and Cress can sing it with us. It's an original song; they've never heard it before."
"Rab, that song is slightly disturbing. I mean, we're fifth years. Besides, the song I handed you fits Bella perfectly!"
"Let's just stick to our songs. Fletcher can control the music."
She nodded reluctantly, "So Pureblood, Death Eater Tango, Death Eater March, Illegal Love Potion..." She trailed off. "I think that'll be enough for tonight. O.W.L.S. are approaching and my grades aren't what is expected of me. Not to mention Rodolphus and Bella have N.E.W.T.S. If you like, you, Cress, and Fletch can finish. I've got to study though. Sorry."
The rest of the night passed in a breeze. As per usual, the Slytherins sang along with Andromeda as she performed. Fletcher magically made pictures appear behind them, such as the Dark Mark, the Slytherin emblem, and Family crests depending on the song being performed at the current time. After many cheers of "Encore!" and "More!" or even "Mudblood Scum!" Andromeda decided to call it a night. She sighed, and grabbed her books from the corner lazily, trudging up to the dormitories.
"Great show as usual." A voice said softly coming from her left shoulder. She turned, almost losing her balance in the process.
Bellatrix.
"Honestly, I don't know where you got your singing voice from. Maybe from the grocer down the street?" She smirked.
"Ha-ha. Very funny. Now, may I please go to sleep, Oh-So-Funny-One? I'm rather tired. I do put on a show after all." Her voice dripped with sarcasm. Bellatrix rolled her eyes in response.
"Well, I was going to invite you to the Three Broomsticks with me and Roddy. I'm assuming that's a no?"
"I'm tired. I have tests, stress, drama, and teachers to deal with."
"Rabastan's coming." She smirked.
"I'll be down in a second!" Her eyes widened with excitement. With a sudden burst of energy, her long legs carried her up the steps to the Fifth Year dormitory. She quickly threw her books on her cot, while receiving a few "Great Job Tonight, Andromeda!" or "You always do entertain!"
It was no secret that Andromeda Black was in love with Rabastan Lestrange. She had every right to be. He was respectable, Pure-blooded, handsome, a gentleman, rich, and an overall great friend. The pair had been inseparable since they were just nine years old.
When Bellatrix came home for Christmas vacation, she had owled her parents asking to bring home a certain Rodolphus Lestrange. Her parents agreed wholeheartedly, proud of their little girl for becoming friends with a member of one of the most respectable Pure-bloods in Britain and France.
After a few days at the Black Manor, Rodolphus's parents came to collect him, bringing along a certain nine-year-old, Rabastan.
Their parents, Xekelev and Gramenta, stayed awhile, to help plan a soirée with Cygnus and Druella Black.
"What do you think of soirées? My name is Rabastan, by the way."
"Boring. All those grown-ups talking about grown-up things. If there are even kids there, they're too young or too old." Andromeda inwardly sighed as she walked by the moors with Rabastan. She normally wasn't allowed to walk here, but since they had a special guest, her mother told her to show off a bit.
"You have your sisters though. Why not be with them?" Rabastan asked curiously.
"Bella has been with Rodolphus nonstop. They've become inseparable at school, I've heard. Cissy is too young." She added hastily. He nodded eyes dreamy, pondering on her choice of words.
"Andromeda! Rabastan! Do come in, dear, you'll catch your death out here." Her mother, Druella appeared in the threshold of the back door accompanied by Gramenta Lestrange.
"We should hurry in. They'll have our necks, ya know." Andromeda said.
"You'll be at the soirée, won't you? After all, there is no one there to talk to. Rodolphus is always around your older sister, like you said." Rabastan asked quite off topic as they departed from the moors and towards the manor which was outlined against the horizon.
"I'll be there. Unless I fall I'll at last minute. I can take care of that." She gave a Typical-Pureblood-Princess-smirk.
"No! You can't!" He cried, "Andromeda, you have to come! Don't leave me with the... Adults!" He spat the last word in disgust as if it was poison on his tongue. She just smiled.
"We'll see, Rab. We'll see." She smiled a little too mischievously for his liking...
"Are you coming, or what?" Asked a voice in deep monotone. Andromeda was brought out of her daydream. She swiveled quickly around to face a tall mall... In the girl's dormitory? Oh, of course. Rodolphus. "Bella asked me to get you. I ought to let you know that I had one hell of a time getting up here, so move your ass." He said in a bored tone, turned slowly, and left the dormitory before she could even respond. She blinked and, and hurried down the fifth year dormitory steps, tripping a few times.
Compared to just ten minutes ago, the Slytherin Common Room was completely silent, and almost empty with a group of people in the corner waiting for her.
"Certainly took you long enough." Said a voice. Due to the darkness, she couldn't make out who the voice had been, but she assumed it was male because of the tone.
"We better get going. There's a secret entrance to Hogsmeade on the third floor that I found." Bellatrix proclaimed.
"We better hurry, Bells. No doubt that the Squib is roaming the halls, so... Quiet!" Rodolphus whispered rather badly. If it wasn't in such a situation, it would have been rather comical.
The four crept quietly, yet determined, through the halls. As Bella had promise earlier we were on our way to the third floor. Bellatrix had stopped suddenly, causing Rodolphus to fall on top of her in a very provocative position.
"Idiot! Off! Off!" She exclaimed.
"Quiet Bella!" Rodolphus whispered, slapping a hand against her mouth, "We'll be heard!"
"Personally Bella, Slytherin can't afford to lose points because I want that damned cup." Rabastan spoke for the first time. She rolled her eyes and bit down hard on Rodolphus's hand. His eyes bulged, and he clutched his hand.
"That hurt!" He whimpered.
"Just help me up before we're caught." Rodolphus offered her the hand that was not in severe pain and helped her up. He then put his hand in pain in his mouth and whimpered.
"Rodolphus you're one weak pussy. Know that." Bellatrix whispered.
"Gee thanks. Aren't you the kind one?" He mumbled.
"Alright, let's hurry." Bellatrix began to sprint down the hallway almost tripping over Mrs. Norris in the process. He hurried over to a statue in a small crook to left side. Frankly, you wouldn't have seen it at first glance.
Bellatrix tapped the witch's mouth with her wand three times while mumbling something inaudible. The witch's mouth then expanded large enough for the quarter to fit through. A blinding white light shone out of the mysterious passage. They covered their eyes with their forearms and hurried down a steep, jagged, and dusty pathway. It obviously hadn't been used too frequently.
"How'd you find this place, Bella?" Andromeda spoke quietly.
"In my second year, I stumble across a book in the library that said there was a lost passage somewhere in the school. It said you had to tap a witch statues mouth." Bellatrix explained,
"Must've looked ridiculous tapping every witch statue's mouths..." Bellatrix added, speaking more to herself than Andromeda. "Okay, come on now. We're in Zonko's basement so watch for the... Items."
"If they could even be called items." Chuckled Rabastan.
"Watch out for that do...-" Rodolphus was cut off by Rabastan crashing into the door in front of them clutching his head in pain. "Door Rabastan..."
"Ow." He muttered. Bellatrix sighed and chuckled a bit.
"You two are both on the weak side, eh? Anyways, we need to get there. Theo and Evan are meeting us all half-way there."
"We're meeting them? Why?" Andromeda asked, understandably curious. Even Rabastan who had finally released his throbbing head raised an eyebrow.
"We're meeting other people too Andy. Sorry we didn't tell you, but we needed to hurry it up a bit.
"Well what are waiting for then? Rabastan shrugged and opened the door he had slammed into. It revealed the snowy white streets of Hogsmeade. The place was completely empty, not a soul in sight.
"When did we get upstairs?" Rodolphus asked with a furrowed brow that created a deep crease across his forehead.
"I was calling you a pussy." Bellatrix proclaimed.
"Oh." He muttered. "Well, anyone I see Evan and Theo down there. Let's hurry up."
As they sprinted down the streets, Theodore Nott and Evan Rosier noticed the strange quartet making their way down the isolated road. They waved their hands in the air, signaling for their attention.
"Sorry, we were late!" Bellatrix apologized, not sincere at all. "Both Lestranges seem to get their asses kicked on the way here."
Evan smirked, "Nice going. Hey Andromeda! Didn't even see you there!" He smiled genuinely, "Haven't seen you in a while. You got big!" He exclaimed pinching her cheeks.
Andromeda, however, didn't seem as thrilled to see him. "Mmmhmmm. Wonderful to see you too, Evan." She said in a bored tone.
"Gees calm down, cousin! I know we only see each other every once in a while, but..." His voice laced with sarcasm. "You're one typical little Slytherin, aren't you? Anyways, we're meeting a few Death Eaters tonight."
"Death Eaters?" Rabastan and Andromeda's eyes lit up. The Dark Lord's movement was as important to the both of them as any other Pure Blood child they knew.
"We get to actually meet one?" Andromeda exclaimed.
"Of course! Come on, Black, Lestrange. Let's go." Theodore Nott then led them into The Three Broomsticks.
