Bellatrix spent the next day worrying about meeting the Order of the Pheonix as she knew it wasn't going to be easy. She sat next to the burning fire in the living room watching Rodolphus reading on the seat opposite and smiling slightly everytime his hair fell in front of his eyes, causing him to lose his page when he pushed it back. They had an hour before they had to go and Bella was beginning, for the hundreth, to wonder if she was doing the right thing. All of their clothes and special possesions had been packed, all the photographs had been taken off the walls and they were ready to leave but Bella was surprisingly sad to be leaving the home in which she had lived in with Rodolphus since they were married. Luckily, no one had contacted them for nearly a week so there would be no saying goodbye to Bella's sister, Narcissa, or Rodolphus's brother, Rabastan. Somehow Bella decided that was a good thing as she was never very good at letting people go.

55 minutes later Bella and Rodolphus were standing in front of the fireplace ready to leave. Rodolphus had dug out the peice of paper which Dumbledore had given them from his coat pocket and Bella heard him breathe sharply as he read it.

"What's wrong" Bella asked, as his reaction made her even more nervous. Rodolphus shook his head slightly and handed her the piece of paper. Bella's eyes widened as she read the address but somehow she wasn't really surprised. Rodolphus gently took Bella's hand and they stepped into the fireplace where Bella whispered,

"Number 12 Grimmauld Place".

Within a few seconds Bella stepped out of a fireplace and into the drawing room of the house in which she used to spend most of her summer holidays in, playing with her sisters and cousins. Rodolphus gave her a nudge forwards and she slowly took a few steps until she stopped in front of the door on the other side of the room. She could hear voices in the other room. Rodolphus, who was right behind her, must have heard as well as he put his hand on her shoulder which caused her to turn around and face him. It was only then that he realised tears falling softly down her cheeks. He carefully pulled her closer to him and and held her gently, waiting pateintly to find out what was wrong.

"The Dark Lord will kill us for this" Bella muttered, almost to herself but she knew Rodolphus would hear.

"We will be safe here Bella and if we should die then we die together. Don't worry" Rodolphus attempted to reasure her but she continued to cry. Rodolphus stayed silent as he wiped away Bella's tears.

"What if they hate me" Bella whispered. Rodolphus didn't even think he had heard her until she looked up to him questioningly. Rodolphus took her hands into his and kissed them before replying.

"How can any one not love you Bellatrix Lestrange! You are the most beautiful and amazing woman i have ever known and i'm sure they will all love you once they have gotten to know you. But just remember that they might find it hard to forgive us at first so just need to be pateint and give them time to get used to us being here. I Promise you, everything will be alright." Bella smiled and kissed Rodolphus softly before he pulled her back into his arms. They stayed like that for a few seconds until they heard somebody approaching on the other side of the door. Bella and Rodolphus let go of each other as the door swung open to reveal someone they never thought they'd ever see again.

A.N: I am so sorry for taking so long to update but i've had loads of exams at school so I haven't really had the time. I would like to say a massive Thankyou to every one who has reviewed as that was what made me find time to write this. I know this chapter wasn't very long so I promise that there is more to come! Live, Love, Laugh, Nellie
