I'm sorry this took me so long, I changed it again and again (still not really satisfied to be honest...)
Rodolphus isn't really saying much here...
It's a bit weird sometimes...

Left foot. Step. Right foot. Step. Sip. Left foot. Step. Right foot. Step. Sip. Left foot. Step. Right foot Step. Sway.

Bellatrix was trying to walk straight and drink at the same time, maybe not the best combination when you were already drunk? She was trying to find Rodolphus, who had left the 'Spin The Bottle' game after their kiss... Bellatrix had stayed to play for a couple of more rounds and drinks, which had gotten her from a tipsy-state to a quite drunken-state, until she had to kiss Lucius... She had left right away, not wanting to upset her little sister in any way!

Focus, Bellatrix... Focus!

Left foot. Right foot. Step.

''What are you doing here?'' she found him by an open window.

He sat in front of it, all by himself...

''I just needed to get some air...'' he said absently...

''Are you sure sitting by an open window helps?'' Bellatrix giggled.

''Are you sure you haven't had enough yet? I think you've had enough to drink...'' Rodolphus took the glass from her hands.

''You're weird...'' she giggled again.

''I do love you, though'' she sighed.

Rodolphus kept quiet for a while...

''Come on Bella, don't play with my feelings like that'' Rodolphus mumbled.

''What... Do– you mean... Play?'' Bellatrix hiccupped.

Rodolphus said nothing.

''Play... Do you mean what happened at the Spin The Bottle Game?'' Bellatrix was confused.

''You kissed me again, like it was nothing!'' Rodolphus never knew how to feel after they'd kissed...

''It's how the game works, you spin the bottle and you kiss! It's not like I did it on purpose!'' it wasn't her fault that the bottle had stopped spinning right in front of him...

''The mistletoe wasn't on purpose either then?!'' it seemed like another argument was starting...

''I- I-... No, I-...'' she stuttered.

''Then why did you do it?!'' Rodolphus just knew she had been jealous.

''Don't tell me you didn't like it!'' she changed the subject.

''I'm not saying I didn't, you didn't answer my question!'' he shot back.

''What do you want me to say?! Tell me!'' ''Do want me to say that I was jealous?! Fine! That I never really got over you?! You're too handsome to even try to get over?! Fine! Fine!'' ''There I said it, happy now?!'' Bellatrix couldn't believe she had just actually said all that...

It wasn't supposed to happen... She normally never opened up like this... She was just tired of fighting and she felt like telling the truth was the only option there was left! Having a few drinks too many always helped to be honest too, though...

Rodolphus couldn't believe she had actually said all that either, he was shocked! He never expected her to honestly admit to it, she would never stop to amaze him... He just stared out of the open window, thinking about everything...

When he finally turned his attention to her again, she was standing next to him. Bellatrix got even closer to him when he noticed her, cupped his face in her hand and kissed him. It needed to be done. She had just told him about her feelings and as long as he didn't protest or give a negative respond, even though he hadn't said anything at all, she felt like she had the right to kiss him... She loved him!

Fortunately, he kissed her back. It just seemed like every time their lips met, he felt complete! It made him question what that would mean for their whole relationship again, they weren't really just best friends... Not even best friends wouldn't do this!

He slowly pulled away and she rested her head on his shoulder, feeling content that things finally seemed to be solved...

''Bella, we can't be friends anymore...'' he told her.

''What?!'' she immediately backed away from him.

Bellatrix felt tears pricking behind her eyes, why was he saying this?! She thought everything was going so well now...

''We– We can't keep doing this!'' ''Kissing each other and then saying we're just friends! Having arguments about those kisses and our feelings for each other...'' Rodolphus tried to explain...

Bellatrix looked hurt and was extremely confused. She took a few step back and turned around to leave.

''Come here, I wasn't finished'' he grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

She faced him again and wiped away a tear with her other arm.

''I don't want you to be my best friend anymore... I mean, you'll always be my best friend... It's just that I want you to be more than that!'' Rodolphus let go of her arm.

''I want to be able to kiss not having to think about what will happen with us and our friendship, you know? I mean– I guess –'' Rodolphus had the feeling that he was sweating...

''You want to be my boyfriend?'' this was actually what she had been waiting for for years!

''I guess so...'' he replied.

He pulled her closer and captured her lips with his again.


When Bellatrix woke up the next morning, she didn't want to leave her nice and warm bed. She couldn't even remember how she had gotten into bed last night... Her bed felt like heaven, the soft pillow supporting her head which was pounding with a headache. Even though she did have a hangover once again, she didn't feel too bad this time...

She remembered waking up a couple of months ago and realising she had kissed her best friend, after that a lot had happened... From bad to worse and back, to finally having Rodolphus Lestrange as her boyfriend!

Bellatrix never really was the 'having-a-boyfriend-type', but she surely was the 'jealous-type'! No more problems with other girls, he was officially hers and she actually didn't mind! She smiled.


Rodolphus hadn't seen her coming closer as he was busy trying to remember which classes he started with, his headache hadn't gone over yet and it was hard to concentrate... He had a big frown on his face.

''Do you regret your decision?'' Bellatrix gestured to the frown on his face.

'' You could always say you were too drunk to think clearly, I completely understand'' she tried to sound serious...

She failed miserably. Just looking at him, at her boyfriend, made her feel happy! Was she really turning into one of those little annoying cute and happy girls?!

For just a split second Rodolphus had thought she had been serious, that she really thought he was too drunk to remember that she was now his girlfriend! When he saw her smile, he knew she was joking.

''Of course not'' ''Do you?'' Rodolphus laughed.

She shook her head. Rodolphus grinned and place a light kiss on her lips.

Everything went dead quiet in the common room, everybody stopped getting ready for school and just stared... Had Bellatrix Black and Rodolphus Lestrange just shared a kiss while they were actually sober?! The couple just ignored their shocked expressions and looked at each other instead...

''Told you...'' Narcissa whispered to Lucius.

''Finally'' Lucius replied.

Now, everybody knew that they were together.

Quite an obvious ending...
