Draco was sleeping in his tent. He awoke feeling eyes on him. He jumped. "Aunt Bellatrix!" He asked.
"Do you always sleep in your underwear?" Bellatrix asked.
"They're boxers and they look like shorts!" Draco said. He pulled the blankets around him.
"I dipered you Draco, you seem to forget that." Bellatrix said.
Draco rubbed his eyes. "What are you doing here?"
"Your mother knows." Bellatrix told him.
"My mother- what? Knows what? Since when--" Draco sat up quickly.
"She knows Patty's pregnant." Bellatrix said.
"It's not Patty!" Draco yelled. "Wait- she knows what!" Draco demanded.
Bellatrix rolled her eyes. She tossed an open letter at him.
"You read my mail now?" Draco hissed.
Bellatrix looked annoyed. "When I tell you no owls, and an owl lands on my shoulder with a disguisting present- yes I read your mail."
Draco sighed. "Who's it from?" he asked.
"Read it." Bellatrix told him.
Draco sighed and read his letter.
Dragon,
Pansy has come and told me of the child you two share. I wish you would have just told me, I would have made things so much easier on the girl. I am not happy about the path the two of you picked but it is not my life and I suppose you are growing up faster than I wished.
Love,
Your old mother
P.S. Pansy and I read your article, call us emotional if you will but we cried. You must ask your aunt if she got to the reporter and told her to call Pansy Patty.
Draco looked up at his aunt.
"I did not tell that woman to call her Patty if thats what your thinking." Bellatrix defended herself.
Draco sighed.
"When you write your mum be sure to tell her she's not old." Bellatrix said.
"She isn't." Draco said.
"You think she is."
"Do not." Draco muttered.
Bellatrix rolled her eyes.
"She is young." Draco demanded.
"You never would have thought to mention it in the letter if I hadn't said to." Bellatrix rebutted.
"I would have!" Draco yelled.
People yelled from outside,"Stop causing a racket."
Bellatrix walked out of the tent and it fell silient. "Did you say something?" She demanded.
Everyone said "No!". All but one.
"I did. I said to stop making a racket." a death eater said.
Draco wondered what death eater other than himself would dare say something to Bellatrix like that. He looked out and saw his professor standing there his arms crossed over his chest standing his ground.
"Snape, I suggest you back down if you wish to return to the dark lord in one piece." Bellatrix snarled.
"Stop your aimless threats." Snape rolled his eyes. "You would not kill me, or hurt me for that matter. You wouldn't until the dark lord himself said to."
Bellatrix narrowed her eyes at him. "At least I am loyal to my lord." She hissed.
"And I am not?" Snape asked. "I killed the man you insist I follow." Snape added before she got a word in.
Bellatrix glared.
"Maybe I should be asking you where your loyalties lie." Snape hissed.
Bellatrix narrowed her eyes at him
Murmers went threw a crowd of death eaters.
Draco walked out of his tent. "Professor, are you sure she's the one to challenge? She spent years in Azkaban because she was loyal to the dark lord. She waited for him to rise again and to rejoin his side. I haven't seen many other people go to Azkaban and break out just to be on the side of the dark lord." Draco said.
Snape scowled at him and sat by the fire. "Defending Bellatrix?" Snape asked.
"I'm defending my family." Draco stated.
Snape stood up over powering him with his height. "I see." He said flatly. "Well there are some members of your family I would say don't deserve defending." Snape shot Bellatrix a look quickly. He pulled his cloak around him and walked off.
Bellatrix stuck her tounge out at him and made a face as he passed.
Draco shook his head.
"Thanks." Bellatrix said to Draco. She smiled.
"Anytime." Draco replied.
A/N: I wanted to make this chaper longer but yet my mind has failed me. I cannot think of anything to write on it, and that seemed like a good enough spot to end it.
As usual, the more reviews I get, the faster I write!
