I'M SO SORRY!
I'm so sorry that this took me so long!
School has started again last week and there's just so much to do and to catch up on!

I have a feeling that this story is getting close to its end, but I'll probably won't be able to post it anytime soon anyway...
Struggling with this...
Feels like I'm repeating things...

Anyway, enjoy the new chapter!

It wasn't until late in the morning when Rodolphus Lestrange finally opened his eyes. He had slept in, the morning was almost over already! Almost half of a day wasted on sleep... Well needed sleep... Rodolphus wasn't a man who boasted a lot, but last night he'd been rather good! They'd been good! It had been good! Magic had surely happened last night!

What was there to say... Making magic happen did take up a lot of a person's energy, a good and healthy long sleep was needed afterwards...

Anyway! Rodolphus opened his eyes and was greeted by his wife, who was sitting up and smiling. She didn't say anything, she just sat there... Bellatrix Lestrange just sat there, smiling... Smiling... She wasn't really smiling at him, though. It was more of as if she was just lost in thought, smiling about something she was thinking of...

Smiling...


Bellatrix Lestrange was indeed smiling and indeed lost in thought...

Not just about last night, just about everything... How everything turned out to be okay after all... After the infidelity, after the rape... They were just a normal couple again! Well, if you could call two notorious Deatheaters 'normal'... A normal married couple who had just spent the night together like any couple in love would...

Love... It was funny when you came to think about it... Such a small word with such a powerful meaning... The word 'love' could hand you the world on a silver platter, if you actually meant it when you were saying it...

Did she mean it?! Bellatrix thought about it for a little while... Yes, yes she did. Love. She loved her husband, still after everything...

Thinking about it made her realise that she'd actually never stopped... She had always loved Rodolphus! It was just hidden, hidden behind her devotion for a monster of a man who hurt her...

She had been blinded by being called 'his most faithful servant'... She had been her Lord's favourite! Who wouldn't wander off to the dark side at that?! Everybody wanted to be the best at something and killing people who just simply didn't belong on this earth was something she was very good at!

She wanted all the traitors and Muggles dead! Just like The Dark Lord had said! She still did! They didn't belong here! She just wasn't that comfortable with the things that her Lord said anymore... She would obey to his orders for missions, she just wouldn't obey to his personal favours anymore... Not after what happened last time... Never again!

Last night, she hadn't thought about it as much as she thought she would... Don't get the wrong idea, she'd really wanted to make the magic happen with her husband! It was just that she had been a bit scared that all those memories would come back to her again... The pain... The hurt...

They had... A couple of times, just seconds... Rodolphus had always been there to kiss them away. No worries, no pain... Just him, he had been so gentle with her!

Bellatrix smiled again, just thinking about him...

''Hello there, Sunshine...''

Bellatrix was startled. She really hadn't been paying attention to him all that much...

''Hi...'' she smiled again.

''What are you thinking about? Why are you smiling?'' Rodolphus asked.

''I- I ehr- I just... I don't know...'' Bellatrix chuckled.

''Last night?'' Rodolphus smirked.

It seemed like his wife was blushing. Was she blushing?! Was the notorious Bellatrix Lestrange blushing?! Blushing?!

''Are you still okay about everything?'' Rodophus suddenly sounded serious...

What if she'd suddenly changed her mind... What is she hadn't been okay with it, so soon after... She was a rape victim, what if he'd hurt her?!

Bellatrix looked at him for a couple of seconds, almost as if she didn't understand what he was talking about...

''Yes! Yes, of course!'' Bellatrix understood now...

''I forgot how nice it felt... How nice and gentle you could be...'' ''How nice and gentle you are'' she quickly corrected herself.

Her husband wasn't dead yet... He still could be nice and gentle with her and he surely had been that with her last night! He was very much alive!

Rodolphus felt a wave of relief shoot through his body. He hadn't hurt her, he had pleased her! He smiled.

''I love you'' Bellatrix suddenly blurted it.

''You- You do?!'' her husband was actually quite shocked!

''Sure I do'' ''Always have...''Bellatrix actually spoke the truth.

She hadn't always been faithful, she knew that, but in the end, she'd always come around... She'd always go back to him...

''I- ehr- I love you too...'' ''I love you too'' he made it sound more self-assuring that second time.

He didn't want her to think he didn't mean it... He did! He loved her so much and still felt really sorry for all the bad things he had ever done to her!

''I surely must have treated you right than last night...'' he said.

''No, not because of that... I just- I mean it!'' Bellatrix thought that her husband thought that she'd only said she loved him because of the amazing things he'd done to her last night...

''I was just kidding!'' he chuckled

''Good... You did treat me right though, last night...'' ''I wasn't disappointed by anything we did, before you start thinking that...'' she shot him a playful look.

''Why would I think that?! I'm amazing!'' Rodolphus smirked.

''Are you now?!'' Bellatrix laughed.

''Yes!'' ''Do you want me to show you again?'' Rodolphus started to kiss her neck.

''Hmm... If you must...'' she closed her eyes.

''It's my duty as your husband!'' he lifted up his head.

''Duty... Should I be your obedient wife then?'' his wife asked.

''Yes'' he placed more kisses in her neck.

''Just this once!'' she quickly added.

Rodolphus chuckled. His wife would never change... Always his fierce and independent Bella...

He continued to place kisses in her neck and felt his wife's hands tangle in his hair, softly pulling on it... She let out a sigh of pure bliss...

How nice was it to start your day almost exactly the same as the last one had ended?!

Amazing...
