Druella Black was usually a calm and serene woman, nothing fazed her. Not her sister in laws questionable 'punishment' methods for her sons, or her eldest daughters definite pleasure in hearing something's dying screams or her many relatives' liaisons with the dark arts. But at the moment she was so very far from her usual calm self. In fact, at the moment Druella Black was hanging one house elf that went by the name of Pinsky by his bright yellow neckerchief over the balcony while she fought the urge to shout Bella down to use the cruciatus curse on the other house elf, which was currently throwing herself at her mistresses feet begging for forgiveness.

Druella Black liked things under control, and this ball as it stands was not under control. The dresses that had been ordered the previous day, had not come –she was going to kill that French harlot when she got her hands on her- The food had been burnt by the house elves because they had been too busy catering to Lucius' request of a chocolate fountain and a pyramid to strawberries and champagne delivered to his room. Of course in Druella's eyes the house elves were at fault here, not her future son in law. Which is why she found herself in this current position.

"You will never do anything of this sort again or your heads will be on that wall faster than you can say 'yes Miss Black' "

"Yes M-miss Black " Stuttered the panicked house elf

"Get out of my sight now" screeched Druella Black

Fuming she paced up and down debating whether to floo to Madame Attrices shop and collect the dresses herself.

" Ahhh Druella I thought I heard your crazed shrieks, I trust everything is going well for tonight then" smirked Walburga Black in a way that was not unlike her eldest niece.

"Not it is bloody well not that French whore has not delivered our dresses, and those blasted house elves burnt the food!" Druella stated not far from having a break down

" That woman! How dare she not deliver the dresses for the Ladies of The House of Black well I shall see to it that she will not have any custom from the British pureblood families any longer!" said very irritated Walburga Black.

" Druella" Lucius said in his usual drawl

"Yes Lucius dear" Druella was rather flushed at being caught by a man ranting like a madwoman

"By mother just owled be to see if your dresses had arrived from Madame Attrices shop I take it they haven't" Lucius looked rather bored by this point and his mind was obviously elsewhere, elsewhere being wherever Narcissa was.

"No they haven't. I will floo to your manor now an we can go together and get to the root of this…misunderstanding. Oh and Lucius do tell Bella she can use any form of discipline on the house elves, if they do anything wrong again." She gave Lucius a conspiratorial nod

Druella knew of course about Bellatrix Rodolphus and Lucius' involvement in the dark arts, and the Death Eaters. -She was the centre of the gossiping pureblood inner circle- but she chose to turn a blind eye. She was in fact quite proud that her daughter was fighting for her beliefs, as she wishes she could have done; but it was more acceptable now for girls to do that sort of thing. As long as Bella fulfilled her duty to her family by marrying a pureblood boy, and bettering the family, she did not mind what she did.

Lucius wandered back to the room he was sharing with Narcissa Bellatrix and Rodolphus, He smirked at what he Bellatrix had done to him earlier that day. He had been sitting on her bed kissing Narcissa wearing Rodolphus' Slytherin Quidditch captain dressing down, which Bellatrix always wore, when she had walked in, seen him and pounced, quite literally on top of him pushing Narcissa on the floor with her wand at his neck, which he was momentarily concerned about, until he realised that from here he had a perfect view down her top. Now Lucius Malfoy may hate –or pretend to hate for the sake of appearances- Bellatrix Black, but he knew when he had seen a nice pair, and Bellatrix's' were nice. Where as they were not huge, none of the black women's were, they were a nice size and perfectly formed with half moon curves and the pale creamy flesh was taught and they held themselves up without need for a bra –Lucius found bras an unnecessary obstacle anyway-. He was still thinking about this rather pleasant thought when he walked into their bedroom to find Bellatrix sprawled across her bed with Rodolphus trailing a knife across the exposed flesh of her stomach

"Mmmm Rod that feels good" purred Bellatrix

"Such a whore for pain my darling"

"It feels likes it's the only thing that's real, apart from you of course"

Rod bent down to kiss Bellatrix lightly on the lips, Bellatrix moved her lips down to kiss Rodolphus' neck

"I love the feeling when a blade cuts my skin" She murmured into Rodolphus' hair slowly kissing down his collarbone

" I love it when we sleep together and you crucio me…. that delicious feeling of pain and pleasure, and the excitement on your face." Bellatrix undid the top buttons on his shirt and kissed his chest. Rodolphus arched his back.

"Oh please pass me a bucket" Lucius announced as he burst in the room

"Piss off Malfoy go try on Narcissas dresses" Bellatrix hissed

" I'm more of a skirt kind of man….well at least when it's your little sister wearing them" Lucius Winked

"YOU SON OF A BITCH I'M GOING TO HEX YOU SO YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO INFEST THE WORLD WITH THE SCUM YOU'RE GOING TO PRODUCE IF ANY WOMAN EVER LOWERS HERSELF ENOUGH TO GO WITHIN A 50 MILE RADIUS OF YOU"

Lucius at this point had run down the first flight of stairs while Bellatrix stood at the top screaming obscenities and curses at him.

" I'll have you know Black that plenty of women have willingly got in my bed and I've had them screami-"

Lucius was promptly cut off by two well aimed curses, a stinging curse by Bellatrix, which hit him in the face, and a body bind curse by Sirius who had overheard the exchange and delighted in any opportunity to mock Malfoy.

"Well at least your good for something blood traitor" Winked Bellatrix.

"High praise from a Death Eater I must have done something right" Mocked Sirius

Bellatrix walked up to her bedroom leaving Lucius lying on the floor unable to move

"Rod we need to get ready for tonight"

"Yes Darling I'm just taking a shower" He called from the bathroom

"Room for two?"

"Of course, when isn't there if you're asking"

Bellatrix descended the stairs in her Red dress the neckline grazing lightly over her chest. The back plunging sinfully to her hips. Her arm laced with Dromeda's'

"Dromeda…do I look okay" Bella whispered

"Bella…. you would be easily the most stunning person in this room if you came in your pyjamas firs thing on a Monday morning, after a round of heavy drinking the night before! And no you don't look all right; you look absolutely stunning, as I'm sure these to gentlemen are about to tell you"

"Thanks Drom" Bella said as she kissed her cheek I couldn't live without you "

Bellatrix was then met by Rodolphus and Rabastan who took both her arms.

"Bella my love you look simply beautiful" Purred Rodolphus and started to kiss her neck

" Brother remember…share"

Rabastan felt the sharp pain of a wand being pushed into his lower back and felt Rodolphus standing behind him

" I will not curse you now because we are in public and I don't think you could handle to punishment father would dish out if you caused any ore shame to fall on our family, but never tell me to share Bella again or I will not hesitate to mutilate your body so badly that it would not be recognisable even to our own mother." Hissed Rodolphus

Rabastan pushed his brothers wand away from him "Okay but how else do you want me to keep to this..Agreement we have, and by the way you still haven't explained the rules of this little truce we have" said Rabastan like a child who had just been reprimanded

The trio continued to circle the ballroom Bella smiled politely at all the necessary people and ignored the brother's argument, but ready to intervene if things got too heated

"Rule one little brother is that Bella exclusively shares my bed….you will NOT sleep with her you are merely…a toy for her to play with"

"And you never did like to share your toys did you Roddy" At this Rabastan again felt the wand against his back

"Rule two you will not hurt Bella in any way or damage her" Hissed Rodolphus through gritted teeth as he guided Bella by the small of her back, and Rabastan by the point of his wand to an alcove away from the main party

"Rule three" He said as he shoved Rabastan into the alcove "You will not see any other girls, if you can have Bella and no one else or all those other girls, but you will never be able to touch the Princess of Slytherin "

"But what brother if I don't think that she" He gestured to Bellatrix " Is worth losing all those other girls"

"Well then you can shov—" Bellatrix interrupted Rodolphus' rage

" You don't think I'm worth it 'Bastan?" Bella purred seductively

"Well er—" Rabastan Stammered

" Then watching this won't bother you"

Bellatrix turned to Rodolphus and ran her hands down his chest, she leaned towards his face and he leaned forwards to meet her, catching her lips with his as she undid the buttons on his shirt. She broke off kissing but Rod new Bellatrix was no where near finished, she kissed along his jaw line, where her lips left his skin it tingled like an electric current had run through his skin, she kissed his chest, he encircled her waist, his hands moving lower and rubbing the tops of her thighs which her covered in the heavy red dress.

"Mmmm Bella" Rod moaned his deep voice husky and in Bellatrix's opinion very sexy

She looked towards Rabastan he was looking at the two of them with longing, and unmistakeable lust.

" Is it worth it now ickle wabastan??" She said in the patronising tone she had learned from her Aunty who said that Bella could make Salazar Slytherin himself feel like her was 2cm tall

Rabastan didn't reply

" I take the growing bulge in your robes to be a yes" She smirked

"Come on Rod or we will miss the party"

Bellatrix and Rodolphus walked back towards the ballroom.

When Rodolphus and Bella's time came to patrol the corridor on which the Dark Lord was working in Cygnus blacks study striving to make him and his followers immortal. They did as they had been ordered to, pretending to have sex in the corridor, whilst on alert for possible intruders. The half hour passed rather un-eventfully however when they were meant to be relieved of their roles at 11:15 by Lucius and Dolohov, Lucius arrived and stood admiring the view before an irate Bellatrix noticed him and threatened to curse his balls off. The three of them now stood waiting for Dolohov to appear

"How dare he not turn up, I will report him to the Dark Lord he should be rushing to serve one as great as our Lord!" Fumed Bellatrix

" I know I know" soothed an equally annoyed Rodolphus, although Rod knew how to conceal his anger, concentrate it, and then let it out in one nasty curse.

" I refuse to leave if he isn't here!" Fumed Bellatrix

There was raised voices coming from The Ballroom

"Bella you and Lucius stay here and guard the corridor I will go and see whats going on" Commanded Rod

"Be quick" Pleaded Bella

" I will" reassured Rod

Rod ran off down the corridor his wand out. Bellatrix paced up and down impatiently while Lucius nonchalantly inspected his hair

"Checking for split ends Lucy??" Sniped Bella

"No go fuck yourself Bella or even better fuck me" Lucius winked

"Ugh I'd rather shag Sirius than you!"

"I knew all you Blacks were inbred"

"I'd rather be inbred than belong to the House of Malfoy, all those slimy long haired puffs" Mocked Bella

"I don't know hat Rod sees in you apart from that tasty body, and this is coming form one of his closest friends"

Bellatrix ignored his comment "Where is Rod he has been gone ages"

As if on cue Rod came sprinting down the corridor Bellatrix started towards him and at once noticed the slight hint of panic in his normally calm deep green eyes.

"Whats wrong Rod? Whats happening?" Demanded Bella, Lucius also now looked alert

"The Aurors are outside trying to break through the wards, and the Order of the Phoenix that's why Dolohov wasn't here, he was the first one to spot them and alerted the others, the order of the phoenix are here as well. We have to protect the room. I sent Rabastan to get Cissy, lets set up some more protection around this area." Explained Rod.

Just as he had finished speaking Narcissa and Rabastan ran around the corner. Lucius had set up two wards with Bella's help. As Narcissa and Rabastan reached them Rabastan Tried to pant something about Order of the Phoenix but, as the others were trying to understand what he was saying twenty members of the order of the phoenix rounded the corner, headed by Senior Auror Mad-Eye Moody.
