You are my saviour
Hope you like what I've done with this chapter. Enjoy.
Bellatrix rolled her eyes at her husband; he always wanted to know where she had been when she was not at home. Yet he would disappear for weeks and sometimes more than a month, and if she asked where had been. She would get annoyed reply "Working" or not an answer at all. Now she didn't bother at all with him, and continued as if he was still not there. She walked into the room, ignoring his gaze and went straight to the bottle of firewhiskey that Rodolphus had left out after pouring his drink. Grabbing the bottle, she took of the lid and took one large swig from it. The man's eyes burning in the back of Bellatrix's head, expecting her to answer but she couldn't have cared less.
"Well?" Rodolphus asked, waiting for an answer.
"Well what?" Bellatrix asked in return. Rodolphus cursed something in the French language under his breath and sighed impatiently.
"You know exactly what Bellatrix. I asked you where you have been." He growled, walking up behind her, trapping her between him and the table in front of her.
"None of your business Rod." She said, putting the bottle back on the table. She could feel him shoot daggers into the back of her head once again; he was getting angry with her. Bellatrix pushed his body off her back with one of her hands, and started to walk away casually walk from him, not giving it a second thought at all. Until she felt his rough grip grab her arm and turned her round so that she was facing him. The anger could be seen his eyes as she met them, Bellatrix wasn't afraid of him or what he would do. They had gone round in this vicious circle for the past couple of their marriage. Now it was dead, they had never loved each other and they were drove each crazy. He was sleeping around with any girl he could find nearly every weekend. And Bellatrix couldn't stand being in the same room as him.
"I am your husband Bellatrix, I have a right to know what you have been up to when you are not here." He said angrily at her. She pulled her arm back away from, it felt disgusting whenever he had touched her, his hands were so rigid and rough. She hated it the slightest contact and wanted to hex him whenever he did put his hands on her.
"You have absolutely nothing against me to make me tell you what I have been doing; you never tell me where you have been or what you have been doing. Not that you need to tell me, you're not the best at sneaking around or when you come home drunk out of your mind." Bellatrix snapped at him before starting to walk away again. She was stopped though when he turned her round once more, grabbing both of her wrists and pinned her to the nearest wall with a look of a pure rage in his eyes. The couple were now in the same position as Bellatrix and Hermione earlier when Bellatrix had first brought Hermione to the Lestrange manor.
"You don't talk to me like that Bellatrix! You do your duty as my wife, and behave how you are suppose to." Rodolphus snapped aggressively. He had always been a very old fashioned type of man and went along with the whole arranged marriage agreement. Bellatrix didn't want it though, she did try to get out of it but nothing worked and she was forced into this disaster of a marriage. Bellatrix dug her sharp nails into his hands, to make him drop her.
"Screw you Rodolphus! I don't have to do anything you say just because you are my husband. This marriage is failure just like you!" She screamed into his face. Bellatrix had enough of him and wanted this to stop. He growled at her before letting go of one of her wrists and punched her in the face. Bellatrix hissed in pain, before bringing one of her feet up and kicked her husband in the stomach. Rodolphus let her go to grab his stomach, unaware that his wife pulled out her wand and directed it at him.
"Don't you touch me like that again" She demanded loudly, crucio'ing him on the spot. He groaned loudly while dropping to the floor and writhering about. Bellatrix smirked at the sight of him. She had dreamed of doing this to him for a long time and it had felt good to make him suffer like this. The older witch let the curse linger for a few moments before lifting it off him. Rodolphus took a few seconds to himself, breathing deeply before getting up and pulling out his wand.
"You're going to pay for that you little bitch!" Rodolphus shouted before casting the crucio curse on her and stormed his way over to her while she was distracted. He pinned her to the floor, pushing her wand out of the way and proceeded to start punching her in the face again, leaving the forbidden curse in place.
As the couple continued to battle each other, the young witch who was only a floor above them had been awakened by the screams, groans and cries out in pain. Hermione had no idea what was going on, then sat up slowly in the bed. It took a few moments to come out of the sleepy haze she was in before she remembered where she was. Hermione rubbed her eyes, glancing at the long scar on her arm before jumping at sound of a thudding sound. The Gryffindor got out of bed, her muscles still ached as she moved, making her feel very stiff. She limped over to the door and checked to see if it was locked; when it opened she quickly shut it again and cast a locking charm on the door so that no one could enter the room. Afraid that Bellatrix might have captured someone else and decided to torture them instead of her, but having no idea how long she was asleep for. Hermione no idea what was really going on downstairs, all she could hear was someone crying out in pain and occasionally the sound of a man shouting or groaning loudly. She made her way back to the bed she was sleeping in and sat back down, waiting it for to stop.
The fight between the husband and wife had gone on for hours, but it eventually came to end after Bellatrix had been thrown at a wall and dropped to the floor. The impact of the hit had cut her head open and blood spilled from her head, she tried to get up but Bellatrix collapsed back to the floor. Rodolphus was standing above her, looking down with a victorious grin across his face. He knelt down and gripped his wife's jaw and turned her so that she looked at him.
"You ever speak to me like that or try and act against me again; I will do a lot worse than this to you and make sure you regret it. Do you understand?!" He hissed, not caring about the state of his wife. Bellatrix didn't answer him; she tried to look away and refused to give into him. He glared angrily down when he didn't get the answer he wanted.
"I said do you understand?" He repeated himself, getting the same action, nothing at all. Bellatrix continued to glare at him until he gave up. He sighed before let her face go and walked away from her, grabbing his jacket he had took off before he came in and slipped it back on.
"I'm going back out. Don't know when I'll be back." He stated simply before apparating out of the room, leaving Bellatrix to bleed to death. She couldn't move at all, and didn't have the strength to do anything. Bellatrix panicked, not knowing what to do until one word popped into her head.
"Granger" She groaned loudly, calling for her to help. She couldn't do anything else.
