LOVERS' LANE by SunshineChick
Sorry that it took so long for me to update … writers block and a bit too much of school.

The moon glistened brightly high up in the sky. It cast a dark shadow on the far side of the lake. Even the giant squid dared not intrude. Bulging dark capes marched solemnly to some unknown destination. If you got close enough you could see that seven Hogwarts students were there Bellatrix Black, Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy, Regulus Black, Rodolphus Lestrange, Rabastan Lestrange, and Augustus Rookwood. They crept quickly into a small cove. Thousands of leaves formed a canopy over the hooded figures. The very same place that later became an area for Hagrid's hut. An earthly dugout was hidden, only noticeable if you knew it was there. Bella trotted ahead of them, seemingly the leader, and stuck her wand into a steel slot. She muttered "MORSMORDRE" and the door hissed red. An emblem with a snake slithering through a skull appeared. Bella's heart leaped. She tried her hardest to be HIS best. To be honored a trustworthy member. She inhaled deeply and only exhaled when someone grabbed her shoulder.
Rodolphus's sparkling beetle black eyes bore into hers. Bella melted inside. "Ready?" he asked recognizing the characteristics of her nervousness.
She managed to nod her head. "I-I want that mark more than ever." She glanced wistfully at his arm. Sighing she slid open the door.
He turned her to face him. "I'm sure you'll get it … just don't lose faith." Bellatrix nodded again holding back her tears. She entered the room the others not far behind. The moment the door slammed shut, Bellatrix wiped up her tears, maliciousness and greed replacing her feminine emotions.
She took Regulus by the arm. Together they found a nice seat not far from where HE stood. It was difficult to find an empty bench because all of HIS supporters were congregated here. HE had only made this a meeting place so it would be convenient for HIS underage members. Bella turned to Regulus. "You better not be another disgrace to the Black name. We are already the under-dogs here because of your stupid brother. Today if you try hard enough you may get that mark."
Regulus nodded eagerly. All he wanted was to be like Bellatrix. To be a hero in his parents' eyes. To get back at Sirius. "Me and you together will prove ourselves worthy."
Bella didn't reply, HE had appeared carrying two Death Eater suits, which meant he would appoint two new Hogwarts students his allies. She hoped against hope it would be her and her brother. Rodolphus and Severus were the only Slytherin students here to have gotten the mark.
Voldemort took off his mask glaring at every single one of them. He was quite attractive. His jet-black hair, lovely hazel eyes, and a nicely toned body. Bella couldn't help but drool, stopping only when Rodolphus sent a grin down her way. "Welcome … welcome. I sense weakness and faith and thirst … a thirst for adventure." He words seemed to resound the room. Snape's head shot up at his last words. He smirked foolishly. "Have you no shame!"
Everyone jumped in surprise. Bella grabbed Regulus and pulled him into a bow. "Blacks!" They hurried in front of the room. Regulus shivering slightly, Bellatrix quite confident. Voldemort stared at them approvingly. "Black you are now an ally."
He handed Regulus a suit. Regulus smiled in spite of himself. "Thank you master. In your debt I will always be." He knelt down sincerely.
Voldemort looked repulsed. "You are not a debtor until you have done something intolerable. Are you expecting to become a traitor?"
Bella's eyes widened in horror. How could her cousin be so stupid? "Master that is not want he meant. Not in so many words anyways. He meant that you will always be superior."
Voldemort glared at Regulus for a while then seemed to remember where he was. "Malfoy!" Lucius came running up. He took the clothing appreciatively. "Donner bring in the cauldron."
A thin, lanky man exited, entering a small door that was ajar, glowing lights escaped from it. Bella watched somberly. She sniffed in spite of her self and avoided eye contact with Rodolphus.
She hadn't been chosen. She wasn't worthy or loyal. She was a dirty, filthy scumbag.
The ceremony began shortly afterwards. Lucius proudly approached the sizzling cauldron. Voldemort stuck his wand into the sickly green mixture. An orb attached to the end of his wand and he pressed it against Lucius's left shoulder blade. Wincing Lucius backed away. A very vivid mark could be seen on his arm. Bella shivered. She wasn't worthy … she was a stupid useless pond (think chess). As Regulus took his turn Bella ran for the exit.
She had to stay away from Voldemort until she improved herself. No one was going to change her mind … no one. She pounded down the castle grounds her black hair flowing freely behind her. Crystal tears welled up in her eyes. And as she opened up the back doors she didn't care about hiding from teachers.

After the meeting, Bella sat in the common room. She drifted off into thoughts about her despair. Maybe she was doing something wrong. Something he didn't like. She buried her face in her arms ready to die. Rodolphus, Lucius, Regulus, Augustus and even Snape tried to comfort her, but it didn't work. Rabastan could really care less. He didn't like having a girl in the V.S. group. V.S. stood for Voldemorts' Supporters a name Bellatrix had come up with.
Bella tossed her hair out of her face. She really was beautiful, but because of her hatred no one dared approach her. The fire hypnotized Bella. She leaned closer and closer until she found herself inches away from the scorching flames. She let out her tongue wanting to touch … to feel the heat. Someone grabbed her arms and she found herself lunged backwards.
"Hey Bella." said Rodolphus.
She grinned meekly. "Hi."
"Still feel bad about that … I really don't think he'll burn you until seventh year."
"Why?" asked Bella regaining composure. She was watching him intently.
"Because he wants to make sure you're truly faithful." Bellatrix nodded still utterly confused about the workings of Voldemort's mind. "Enough about that …" Rodolphus pulled her in for a kiss. Bella's heart warmed as it always did when they kissed. She wrapped her arms around his neck and his around her waist. She never wanted to let go …
"Rodo! I'm shocked in broad daylight." Rabastan exclaimed. He was fully dressed on his way to breakfast. It was already seven o'clock.
Rodolphus snarled at him playfully. "Ah c'mon every time I kiss her you come along." Rabastan shrugged innocently.
Bellatrix smirked at him. "If you're that jealous why don't ya ask him to kiss you too?" Rabastan blushed and hurried out of the room. "Now where were we …"

With the end of their smooch session Bellatrix and Rodolpus made their way to the Great Hall. Bella had her hair tied in a pony tail and didn't bother changing out of her dirty things. Rodolphus had taken a refreshing bath and smelled of apple blossoms. They sat down with the rest of the Slytherins discussing what they did over the summer.
A thin girl with silver hair and glimmering blue eyes spoke up. "I went to Beauxbatons this summer … thee land is all moor and flowers."
"Really Beauxbatons … I heard that it was built on a wasteland for overemotional French. Mom took you there? You were visiting Andromeda weren't you?" said Bellatrix coldly. "Durmstrang is the only decent school."
"Now Bella doesn't know what she's talking about … Beauxbatons is very highly respected the only fault is that beast Madame Maxime." debated Lucius trying dearly to impress Narcissa. Actually that was the main reason he hung out with Bella (they're related) and because of the dark lord.
Narcissa looked offended. " I happen to like Mme Maxime! You may hang out with my sister, but you'll never ever find a place in my 'eart!" And with that she performed a spectacular hair toss in Lucius's face and stormed away.
Snape was grinning at Malfoy. "What happened to a so called 'force'? Lily looking pretty good right about now, huh."
Bella growled. "I really don't know how you got the mark when you like a mud-blood."
"I'm more trustworthy." Bella sent her pumpkin juice flying at him. "You bitch!" Snape spat at her feet.
Rodolphus, who had been watching for some time in amusement, raged. "What'd you call her?"
"Nothing." Severus scurried out of the hall he needed to changed before Herbology with the Gryffindors. Lily Evans was the only thing he could think about. He had become an idle spectulator, but for how long. How long was he gonna wait for Lily to notice him? Would she get swept off her feet by Potter before he could make a move? No … not while he was living. He'd take Lily to the very grave, but first he'd change his clothes.

Sorry for the total Lily and James- less chapter, but I need to fit all this Voldie stuff in too. The next chapter has a lot of Lily (angry) and a lot of James (arrogant). I'll update sooner!
