A/N: This chapter is pretty pointless, but I figured I should post SOMETHING so I hope it's entertaining enough (I apologise in advance for any spelling errors, spell check doesn't work on a lot of things to do with Harry Potter)

Hermione's Pov:

"So almost everyone we sent our owls to have joined us except for Lucius who said he would rather die" I said as I finished reading the last of the letters.

"That could be arranged" Bellatrix mumbled as she played with her wand.

"Your kidding right?" I hoped thinking of Narcissa.

"Of course I'm not, but I could never do that to Cissy."

"Don't you think it would be better if we try to recruit him?" I suggested

"If he said he would rather die, which I really hope he does, then obviously he wouldn't be very loyal to me. Really Hermione you must learn these things"

I felt my face get hot.

"Awwhh, Hermiones blushing!"

I chucked a pillow at Bella who deflected it with her wand

"No fair!"

Bella playfully stuck her tongue out at me.

"You look like Crookshacks after hes coughed up a hairball."

"Whatever" she went back to balancing her wand on her finger.

"ugh, I'm so bored" I looked up at the high ceiling

"Well the first meeting isn't until next week….I think I have an idea on what we could do." Bella had a playful glint in her eyes.

"Why does that scare me?" I laughed nervously

She twirled her wand around in her fingers smiling "For once I'm not thinking of anything demented, but I can tell you that I know you are going to love this. Come on" she grabbed my hand and we apparted to the lake below the manor.

I looked around amazed by the number of threstrals.

"Ever ridden one?" I saw that Bellatrix was already perfectly perched on the back of one

"..once…" I swallowed hard

"Come on it's not that hard, I used to do this all the time before I was in Azkaban."

"okay" I carefully approached and mounted the one nearest to me.

Without warning Bella made a yelping noise that sent both our threstrals into the air. I hung on with my eyes shut tight scared of how high we might be.

"Open your eyes!" I heard Bella call from beside me.

I slowly opened them, hanging on even tighter so any shock wouldn't cause me to fall off. First I looked over at my aunt who was sitting sideways practically cross-legged, her raven curls blowing out over her right shoulder.

"Wow, you weren't lying when you said you do this all the time" I watched her amazed

"Since when do I ever tell people things I don't mean?"

I pretended to think for a moment even though the answer was obvious to anyone "when you tell people you don't want to hurt them.."

"oh yeeaahh…okay let me re-phrase that, since when do I tell you things I don't mean?"

I thought for real this time "actually I think everything you have told me is true"

"told you" Bellatrix smiled leaning onto the neck of the threstral

"So how long is it going to take me to ride these things like you?"

"What do you mean?" Bellatrix was serious

"Well look, I'm clutching on for dear life and your acting as if your in a hammock"

Bellatrix raised an eyebrow "hammock?"

"Never mind"

"No I'm totally kidding, I know most people can't do this. Tell you what, I'll give you lessons tomorrow after breakfast too" Bellatrix looked down at the lake below us, inhaling the cool air

"You are planning to get up before breakfast?"

"….okay how about after dinner then we can have a night fly?"

"Sounds great!"
