Alice pulls away from Bellatrix's hold. She can hear the students walking in the corridor, signalling the end of class. She detangles her fingers from Bellatrix's long, black hair. She fixes the buttons of her school shirt and rights her Gryffindor tie.

"Sorry, love," she says. "Really can't miss Charms. I'm almost failing as it is."

The girl across from her just smirks. "My, who would believe that little miss Alice is failing a class. That's just scandalous."

Alice leans close, her mouth brushing Bellatrix's ear. "I think you would know better, Bella. Since it is all your fault, after all." She traces a finger against Bellatrix's tight.

"Correct me if I'm wrong," Bellatrix says breathlessly, "but you were the one who pushed me in here on my way to Transfiguration."

Alice smirks at the girl. "No one will believe that I did it. I'm not the one with the bad girl reputation." Alice leans back and blows her a kiss. "Until next time."

She leaves Bellatrix in the enclave that they were hiding in. Despite everything, she's not late to Charms, but she thinks that Bellatrix might be. She grins at that thought.
