Dumbledore's Office

Bella

I gazed around the circular room unimpressed. McGonagall finally let go of my shoulder and pushed me in the direction of an uncomfortable looking chair in front of the desk.

"Sit and wait for the Headmaster," she spat out.

"Now Minerva, there's no need..."

One look at her thinner than thin lips shut Profesor Slughorn up right away.

I continued evaluating the room. Dear Merlin Dumbledore had alot of crap. The whirring and clicking coming from those thousands of trinkets littering the place was giving me a headache. And none of them were very impressive. Especially when compared to Daddy's collection. Now that was a proper collection! Though too dark for Dumbledore I'd imagine.

That thought alone made me smile. I wonder what it would be like to smash the spindly little legs on that one...

"Stop smirking Miss Black."

Urgh! That Scottish whinge would drive anyone mad I thought giving McGonagall my most contemptuous look.

She was about to retaliate when the door leading to Dumbledore's quarters creaked open and the old fool himself glided in humming to himself.

"Miss Black," he said nodding his head in acknowledgement,and smiling presently.

I merely stared at him.

Urgh his eyes! The most horrible shade of electric blue ever. Cissy had much nicer eyes. And why was he staring so intently at me? Like he was X-raying me or something! Well sod that!

I kept the tiny sneer pasted on my face while I did the breathing exercises Daddy had taught me before school started.

"Now remember Bella, if you ever have to deal with that fool of a Headmaster you're going to be learning under, remember to do this. Don't ask me why, I'll explain when you're older now try to clear your mind of all thoughts!"

Apparently whatever it was was working because Dumbledore looked a little confused. And a tad wary. Not that it was very noticeable. An outside observer would probably think he was still as placidly cheerful as he was two seconds ago. But I've always been very observant. And I was only three feet in front of him. So I saw the slight widening of the eyes and ,so small you could barely see it, downturn to his smile.

Aha! I've riled him. Thankyou Daddy!

Well speak of the devil! (or rather think of the devil!) the floo burst into life and out strode Daddy looking furious, followed quickly by Mummy who looked equally as angry.

I took a tiny gulp and shrank ever so slightly back into my seat. I knew that look! That was the look I got when I'd done something really bad!

But it wasn't directed at me! They strode over to stand behind my chair and direct their fury at Dumbledore. He didn't flinch and, regretfully, I have to admit I was a little impressed.

"What is the meaning of this Dumbledore," Daddy hissed.

Dumbledore's placid expression didn't change.

"Well Cygnus, it would appear young Bella here had a little disagreement with her classmate..."

"With good reason. Muggleborn!" Mummy retorted.

"... and practised a rather disturbing spell on her..."

"Disturbing!"

"...which has landed the poor Miss Hill in hospetal Wing."Dumbledore finished disregarding my Mother's interruptions.

"And who saw her do this?"

"I beg your pardon Cygnus."

"Who saw Bella curse the Muggleborn?"

"Well no one. It happened in a deserted cor..."

"Then how do you know it was Bella?" Daddy spat.

Dumbledore gazed at him over the top of his half-moon glasses.

"Miss Hill has identified..."

"How could she!" Mummy all but shrieked. "Your letter said she was unconscious! How could she say it was Bella?"

"Miss Hill was found in a semi-conscious state and all she would say was 'Black. Bellatrix Black' so we naturally assumed..."

"You assumed!" Daddy roared. "You assumed Bella cursed the little bitch! You have no proof you just assumed..."

"Cygnus calm down please."

"...that My daughter was to blame! You never stopped to examine the evidence! Bella's told me all about that girl! She's a known liar and she's had it out for Bella since the train ride here!"

"Mr. Black..."

"No Dumbledore I won't stand for this! I won't have you falsely accusing my girl!"

"Mr. Black..."

"Until you have proof and I mean concrete proof Bella did it you can just leave her alone or so help me Dumbledore I'll come down on you like a ton of bricks!"

Daddy finished shouting, panting slightly like he's just run a very long distance.

I gazed up at him in adoration. He was so powerful! Defending me against the old muggle-loving fool! I wanted to be just like him.

"Very well, Mr. Black. Until Miss Hill regains consciousness we will consider the matter temporarily closed."

"Good."

With that Daddy yanked me off my chair and pulled me into a quick hug before striding into the floo without a word.

Mummy was more vocal.

"Don't worry Bella darling. We'll get this whole nasty mess sorted out and that lying muggleborn brat will get her just deserts don't you worry."

When she finally let go of me my ribs ached. Almost as much as my face from smiling so much. I beamed evilly at Dumbledore.

"You may go Bellatrix," he said sadly.

I turned smirking widely at a furious McGonagall and bemused Slughorn.

Before the door slammed shut behind me I distinctly heard a snide voice say

"I'd let it go Dumbledore. My Great-Grandson does have very profitable connections that would be damaging to you. It would be inadvisable to aggravate him or my Great-Great-Granddaughter any further."

Please review! Please! I'll love ya forever!
