Finally! I am done with school. No more classes. Thank Merlin. I don't think I could take any more of that. Bellatrix thought as she sat down on the train ride home.
Just then the compartment door opened and in walked her sister.
"Hello Bella," her baby sister Narcissa said.
"Hello Cissy," Bellatrix said happy to see her sister.
"Are you exited?"Cissy asked.
"For what?"
"You are done school! Any ideas on what you want to do?"
The raven haired girl thought, "I would like to do something that involved helping people."
Narcissa finally answered after a while of being in thought. "Yeah, you're good at that! You helped me with potions this year. I thought Professor Slughorn was going to fail me for sure," the blonde said enthusiastically.
The compartment door opened yet again. Her other sister Andromeda walked in and sat down with a dramatic sigh. She had been getting picked on by a couple Slytherin boys. They would not leave her alone.
"What's wrong Andy?" Bella asked.
"Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange," the middle child answered.
"What did they do?" demanded Bellatrix.
"They tripped me in front of a bunch of older Slytherins and took the locket you gave me for my seventh birthday and won't give it back," Andy said.
"Wait here. I'll be back," Bellatrix said frustrated that someone was picking on her sister. They can't pick on Andy like that. I won't allow it.
"Where are you going?" Cissy asked.
"I am going to go have a chat with a couple boys and show them what happens when you pick on a Black." With that she stormed out.
It didn't take her long to find them. She just followed the sound of annoying bragging.
"Did you see her face when we tripped her?" one voice said.
"She is such a wimp," another said.
Bellatrix had heard enough, "Lestrange!" she hollered.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Bellatrix Black. Come for something, have you?" Rodolphus asked.
Rabastan snickered from behind him.
"Give me back the locket, Lestrange!" hollered Bellatrix.
"You'll never get it back if you yell like that," teased Rodolphus.
"Fine then, please give it back!"
"Tut tut tut. No yelling."
There was a crowd beginning to form and it made Bellatrix uncomfortable. Crowds made her unsure of herself, and nervous. She may act like nothing bothers her, but her fear of embarrassment was starting to take over as she felt many eyes lingering on her back.
She sighed, "Please, can I have the locket back?"
The Lestrange boy looked shocked, along with the people in the crowd. Bellatrix asking politely was not a sight often seen. She was a proud witch whom often got whatever she wanted by being demanding.
"Here. Take it then," Rodolphus said handing her the locket. A smirk played across his face. He was enjoying seeing this side of Bellatrix.
She took it from him and went to leave the room.
"We will have to work on that temper before we get married." she heard Rodolphus say.
She quickly turned around. "What?" Did he just say that he and I were going to get married? She walked back into the compartment, "Did you just say what I think you said?"
"Your mother and mine made an arrangement for us to be married when you become 18," he said smugly.
Bellatrix did something she had never done before in her life; she fainted.
