Disclaimer: Don't own it etc.
Bellatrix: Bright star in the constellation of Orion, Female Warrior.
Rodolphus: The tamer of wolves, glorified above others.
Bellatrix Black had only ever set eyes on Rodolphus Lestrange once, before they entered Hogwarts. He had attended parties at The Blacks Manor before, but Bellatrix had either not noticed him, or chosen to ignore him. So when her parents invited his family over for dinner one night, not long after Bella's 10th birthday she did not know what to expect from him, only what her younger cousin Sirius had said to her, and he was never to be believed as all he ever wanted was attention. Bella did not care to waste her precious time listening to such people, who only spoke so as to gain the attention of those in their presence.
When Bella first met Rodolphus, she found him to be an intelligent and calculating boy, with sharp features and penetrating green eyes. On this occasion -Much to his dismay as Rodolphus took quite a liking to Bellatrix- she spoke only a few words to him, before she turned and advanced to her sisters room, closing the door behind her.
xXx
Once Bellatrix had begun to attend Hogwarts, their paths only crossed a handful of times, and mainly in the Slytherin common room, because they each moved in different circles, despite only being a year apart in age. In fact Bella spent more time with Rodolphus's brother Rabastan, as he adored both Bella and her friend -Well the closest thing she had to one, as Bella did not care much for friendship. - Alecto Carrow.
All of this however changed when Bella entered her fifth year at Hogwarts, Alecto agreed to date Rabastan, which meant that Bella now seemed to be spending more and more of her time around the Lestrange brothers. One evening, after dinner Bella was sat in the common room, and Rodolphus came over to her just as she was beginning to tackle Professor Slughorns essay on Antidotes.
" Need any help? " enquired Rodolphus
" Not from you Lestrange "
Rodolphus read the title of her essay over her shoulder
" Ahhh Antidotes, no wonder you're so irritated, but they're easy... If you know how " He said with a grin
" And you evidently would know how seeing as you got a D in potions last year "
This last comment was meant to hurt him, as Bellatrix knew his father had been furious with him for only attaining a D in his OWLs last year, but he merely brushed the comment off with a smile.
This annoyed Bellatrix, as she wanted the smile that was playing on his face to disappear. Bellatrix was easily irritated and was beginning to contemplate possible curses; the entrail expelling curse came to mind. Bella also noticed that he was not surrounded by his usual group of followers, she instantly became suspicious
" Look Lestrange what do you want? "
" You to go out with me "
Bellatrix was shocked, she had never been asked out before. She presumed this was because most of the boys in her year were intimidated by her, of course she knew she was by far the most beautiful girl in her house ,with the possible exception of Narcissa her younger sister. But she preferred to know that they all adored her rather than getting close to any one of them. She was secretly flattered by Rodolphus's suggestion, but she would not let Lestrange know that he had won her over so easily.
" And why might you want that? " She said with the most sceptical look on her face she could muster in light of the current situation.
" Because you are beautiful and dark and..."
Bellatrix interrupted him
" You can stop the flattery there because it is getting you no where " she said as she returned to her potions homework
" And because Slughorn told me last night at his party which you managed to lie your way out of, that he thought you and Lucius would make a lovely couple "
" Me and him that slimy, blonde, long haired git, oh that is revolting! "
" Exactly think of it as me... saving you from that" he said with a smile
Bellatrix decided that he would let him win now, that and the fact that his smile was too irresistible.
xXx
Now Bellatrix sat on Rodolphus's bed in the Boys dormitory, talking to her sister Narcissa, Rodolphus was watching her intently grinning; he loved her when she was in one of these moods, all fired up. It made her more attractive.
" We have to do something about her Cissy! She cannot continue associating with that...that...Mudblood!! She is bringing shame on the Black family name! Just think soon Mudbloods will start talking to us in the corridors! "
" Bella, I don't think that is going to ever happen, not after you sent that 2nd year Ravenclaw to St Mungos last week, apparently she still hasn't come out! "
" Yes well she was saying that wizards should not think that they are superior to muggles! Anyway we have to stop Andromeda before we are all shamed because of her. Imagine what father would think if he knew! "
Rodolphus laughed, " Bella there is no way any half blood in the school is going to talk to you, let alone a mudblood! "
" Mmmm " said Bella clearly unsatisfied with the outcome of this discussion.
She turned to look around the room Mulciber, Avery and Rookwood were watching Dolohov and Yaxley play Chess. Narcissa was now lying on Lucius's bed while he was writing a letter, Bellatrix hated Lucuis for dating her sister who was in the 3rd year where as he was in the 7th.
" Who are you writing to Lucius, mummy, telling her how nasty all the little Gryffindors were to you?" She said in a mocking tone.
Lucuis glared at Bellatrix and finished his letter.
" Come on Narcissa lets take a walk, its a little too cold in here for my liking." He gave Bellatrix a disdainful look " Mulciber, Dolohov, you too. "
" Aww taking some of your friends along for protection, scared another 4th year is going to jinx you? "
" No " snarled Lucius " They caught me off guard, and I was out numbered. "
With that he stalked out of the room, taking Narcissa and the others with him. Avery Rookwood and Yaxley stood up and made to leave, they all new that When Bella was in one of her moods, she was not to be tangled with.
There was just Bella and Rodolphus left now.
" Bella you are so cruel to him, you know he didn't have a wand when that happened" Said Rodolphus with a grin
" Yes but a wizard should have a wand at all times, and he shouldn't date my little sister, you know I can't stand him!"
"I love it when your angry" Murmured Rodolphus as he fingered a lock of Bellatrix's long ebony hair
" Rod am I intimidating? " Bellatrix asked
" Of course you are darling, that's why I love you so much" He moved closer to her and kissed her softly, then magically sealed the door...
Rodolphus paced up and down the common room, where was she, at this rate they would be late for the party, he knew she would be getting dressed up as it was the 'slug club' annual fancy dress Christmas party. But what was taking her so long!! He looked at his own reflection in a mirror on the wall; he had dark green dress robes on so he would complement Bella who was wearing a jade coloured dress. At last he saw the door to the girls dormitory open, boys were not allowed in there he discovered much to his regret. Bella stepped out into the common room, she looked beautiful, her long dark hair was in loose ringlets and it flowed down her back stopping at her elbows. She had a tight fitting dress on which forced her breasts to nearly spill out over the almost indecently plunging neckline of the dress, which was a most pleasing effect, Rodolphus thought to himself, the rest of the dress billowed out, her cape flowed behind her as she walked downstairs, she paused on the second to last stair to admire the effect in the mirror,
" Do I look... deadly? " Bellatrix enquired playfully, while she preened in the mirror, while she was not one known to be vain, like her sister Narcissa, Bellatrix decided that tonight she would be, as she felt as though tonight something important was going to happen.
" Definitely darling, you also look absolutely gorgeous, " he said and he lifted her into his arms and placed her gently on the floor. " Avery, Rookwood, you go and tell Slughorn we are coming " Rodolphus commanded "Yax..."
Bellatrix interrupted him " Yes Dolohov did you want something? " she demanded in an impatient tone.
" Mmmm what oh..no " he replied distractedly as his eyes roamed from her face to the neckline of her dress.
Rodolphus turned to Dolohov, flicked his wand and Dolohov was hanging by his ankles in mid air, " If you want to stare at breasts then watch Crabbe change, but do not ever let me catch you doing that again. or I will see too it that no witch will ever want to come near you. Understand? "
" Yes " Replied Dolohov with a terrified look in his eyes, most of the Slytherin boys admired Rodolphus, He was very popular, on the quidditch team. When he started dating Bella they became the favourite Slytherin couple, all of the boys would look to them for answers and orders, and as Bellatrix was such a formidable person in herself none of them dared disobey. They all followed the orders of Bella and Rod no matter what they told them to do.
Rodolphus unceremoniously dropped him to the ground and continued his commands as though nothing had happened.
" Yaxley go and get Lucius tell him we are waiting.!"
" Hahaha, brother if your head gets any bigger mother will have to get you a neck support! " Rodolphus's brother Rabastan appeared by his side.
" Rabastan if your face gets any more disfigured mother will have to fake your death so the family doesn't have to suffer the shame! "
" Ahhh ever the joker. That's my brother " Rabastan replied sarcastically, Rabastan being Rodolphus's younger brother was one of the only boys daring enough to contradict him. He greeted Bellatrix with his cheeky sweeping bow and then Narcissa who had just appeared from the boys' dormitory holding Lucius's hand with her lipstick smudged which she was quickly trying to rectify.
" And where is my sweet Alecto, whose beauty is rivaled only by that of Miss Bellatrix Black the mistress of the King of Slytherin Mr. Roddy Lestrange" He said in Mocking tones
" 'Your' sweet Alecto has already gone to the party with Her brother as you were so late! where were you, out serenading some poor 7th year Ravenclaw again? ''
" No actually I was charming Molly Prewett, Ahhh just the thought of her makes me go weak at the knees!"
" You are disgusting 'bastan you really are, you don't deserve Alecto" Laughed Bella
" No you are right, I guess I will just have to take number two on my list Lysandra Crouch Ahhh that beautiful long blonde hair"
" Ughh You really are the limit 'bastan" Rodolphus commented in a revolted tone.
" You my brother will have to live with it, I must leave you all now so as to catch my fair lady as she leaves the Ravenclaw common room" he said as he skipped merrily away.
" We should be going too, come on Cissy, Bellatrix, Rod" commanded Lucius
" You go ahead. " Rodolphus wanted Bella on her own.
" See you in a minute " Bella said reassuringly to Narcissa
" Lets go then " Lucius clearly didn't want to stick around, so he walked out of the common room with Narcissa on his arm.
When they were alone, Rodolphus turned to Bellatrix
" I have a present for you Bella" He said as he pulled out a velvet box and opened it. Inside was a Locket, it was silver it had a 'B' carved on it and all around it were rubies. Bellatrix opened it and on the inside was a message saying,
My heart is forever yours Bella,
Love you always
Rod" Oh Rod its beautiful! " and she Kissed him
" Here let me put it on you " Rod carefully put it round Bellatrix's neck and fastened it
" Thank you so much darling " Bellatrix kissed him again passionately
" Now hurry we must go to Slughorns party goodness know what he will be doing without us " Exclaimed Rodolphus in mock panic. Bellatrix laughed. They stepped outside into the corridor and walked up through the school, to go to the great hall
" Hang on Bella I need to make sure 'bastan hasn't got himself cursed again by some girl! I can't say I blame them though! " Rodolphus laughed.
So they made there way up to the Ravenclaw common room, the corridors were strangely deserted and unnaturally dark. They walked round a corner and saw Rabastan talking to a man who was tall and lean, neither of them recognized hi, so the approached Rabastan and the hooded stranger with which he was conversing.
" Rabastan?" Rodolphus called out enquiringly
" Rod? Is that you, " " Yes of course it is "" This is silly...Lumos " muttered Bellatrix
" Ahhh yes this is my brother Rodolphus and Bellatrix Black "For a few seconds the stranger did not move and then his head slowly started to turn to towards Bellatrix, he looked at her feet and then slowly he raised his eyes until they had eye contact, when his eyes met hers Bellatrix gasped. She experienced a strange feeling, something emanated from this man. It was power. In that instant Bellatrix knew that she had waited her whole life to meet this one man and that she would die for him, then he spoke.
" Bellatrix Black, I know you. Do you know me?"" No My Lord " Bellatrix didn't know where those words had come for, they had just slipped off her tongue, never before would she call someone My Lord. But something about this man made her feel unworthy, as though she should not be in his presence.
The man smirked " Come with these two gentlemen to the heart of the forbidden forest tonight at midnight and you will find out who I am. "
With that he walked towards the staircase and out of site. The three of them stood in awe for what seemed like hours, but was only a matter of seconds. At last Rodolphus spoke.
" Shall we go? " They walked to the great hall talking normally after that and acted as though nothing had happened, but they all knew that tonight all of them would walk down to the forbidden forest.
The three of them walked through the forest together, but alone. no one spoke they were all contemplating the meeting that they were heading to. When they had been walking for one hour they saw lights through the trees. They entered into a clearing, which was lit by a blazing fire, the hooded man stood facing them, and ten or so people who were cloaked with masks covering their faces sat on the ground round the fire.
" Ahhh our young guests. Sit down " the hooded man smiled a cold smile.
" Followers, we are gathered tonight because tonight marks the first night where we will begin to reveal ourselves to the world. We have tonight three people who will join us. " He turned to Bellatrix Rabastan and Rodolphus,
" We are the Knights of Walpurgis, we believe that Purity of blood should come above all else, and that Muggles should be always beneath us and serve us. "
Bellatrix could feel her heart pounding against her chest, this was exactly how she had felt, it was her birthright to be superior, hearing this man who seemed to have so much power over her voice her own opinions was overwhelming.
" Bellatrix Black, I am Lord Voldemort, will you reign with me over wizard kind with me as your master and you as my servant? "
" I will My Lord, "It happened again, but it felt so right, she could not imagine calling him anything else. Bellatrix did not notice as he repeated his words to Rabastan and Rodolphus, she was too lost in her own happiness. Her attention quickly snapped back to the scene in front of her as he once again addressed the group.
" My followers. I will mark you as my own, Show me your forearms. "
They each peeled back the sleeves of their robes, He walked toward Bellatrix, with his wand ready, and he touched her arm with it and said
" Morsmordre "The skin on Bellatrix's arm Burned instantly, it glowed bright green, the returned to black. still throbbing, but she did not show this on the outside, she was a black, and would face the world as one, with her head held high. As the Dark Lord went round the circle performing the spell on all of the people present Bellatrix thought of the strange connection she had felt as he looked at her, the feeling she had, it wasn't love, love was what she felt for Rodolphus, it was stronger than that. It was she decided need. She needed to serve him, with her whole body, give everything to him. He spoke again.
" Followers, you are now to call yourself Death Eaters, and I promise that there will be a time in the future when every wizard and witch will know to fear and respect that name. "
I'm going to try and update soon before school starts again sigh..
