This is the ninth chapter which means that there is only one left to write and this torment will be over for you! (everyone cheers) However, (everybody falls silent) I'm thinking of writing a sequel…. (someone starts crying and two other suicide)

Disclaimer: All the characters belong to J. K. Rowling but I have Dirty Cool Pants! MWAHAHAHAHA… (coughs) Sorry about that. Let's get back to the story.

Chapter 9

We are the Death Eaters, yeah!

Bellatrix waited impatiently for the other three to get off the train. Rookwood said goodbye to Dirty Cool Pants looking really sad but he was delighted when Dirty Cool Pants gave him his portable CD-player.

"Take that, bro, so that one day ya can write your own songs! Ya have a natural talent or whatever this shit is called," he said.

Rookwood was obviously moved. His lower lip was trembling and he seemed ready to cry.

Bellatrix, who was disgusted and pissed off by the whole scene, ran up to them.

"Rookwoodwantstothankyouforyourgiftandhereallyappreciatesitbutwehavetoleavenow,sobye," she said to Dirty Cool Pants in one breath and literally dragged Rookwood to where Rodolphus and Dolohov were sitting.

"I still wonder why Master bothered to make him a Death Eater," Bellatrix said exasperated to Rodolphus.

"He must have had his reasons. Anyway, are we going to the Malfoy manor or not?" he added.

"Okay, but let's get out of this train station! I can't stand it anymore!" she complained and made her way towards the exit not waiting for the others.

Once they were all outside Bellatrix suggested Apparating to the Malfoy manor.

"And how do you know they haven't put a spell that blocks Apparation or Disapparation like Hogwarts?" Rodolphus asked.

"So I guess you prefer to go on foot then, Rodolphus. Very good! We have the chance to see the surroundings too!" she answered, annoyed that he was opposed to her idea.

"Would you prefer trying to Apparate there and have an accident which may result to our body parts being separated?" he retorted angrily.

"I must admit seeing Rookwood's head on its own would be a quite entertaining sight," Bellatrix muttered quietly.

Rodolphus sighed in frustration but before he managed to say anything Dolohov interrupted:

"Before you two start fighting again over unimportant matters, I suggest that each one of us takes the way he…"

"Or she."

"Or she," corrected Dolohov tiredly, "thinks best and we 'll probably meet at the manor."

"I don't think splitting up is a good idea. It's safer to be together…." Rookwood said hesitantly.

"I agree with him," Rodolphus said.

"Maybe he's right," Dolohov said thoughtfully. "We should listen to him."

They all turned to Bellatrix.

"What?" she asked disbelievingly. "Do you expect me to say 'oh, he's right. We should stay together and act as a real team' and other piece of crap like that?"

No one answered.

"Well, it was nice of you, Rookwood, to share your opinion with us," her tone was kind and gentle, "but I personally say NO!" she yelled the last word right at his face.

"Very well Bellatrix. Do as you like. We'll go on foot and see the surroundings. When you arrive at the Malfoy manor please tell your sister, if you're alive by that time, to send me your separated head," Rodolphus snapped.

In the meantime, Rookwood was sobbing, still shocked from Bellatrix's temper tantrum and Dolohov patted his head like he was a child. The others soon started making their way leaving Bellatrix doubtful about what to do.

"Hey, wait for me you stupid bastards!" she called behind them and reached them.

Rodolphus gave her a victorious smile and continued his way.

"How did you know the way to get there? I have never told you exactly where it was," Bellatrix asked him curiously.

"No, you haven't and I didn't know it, but I knew that you would finally come with us," he said, smirking, and causing Bellatrix to sigh in exasperation.

Rookwood's spirits soon brightened once he started listening to the CD Dirty Cool Pants gave him. He kept rocking his head back and forth muttering quick words that the others couldn't catch.

But Bellatrix was light-hearted too as she had found a new way to entertain herself.

"Come on, Rodolphus tell me! Whom do you like?" she asked for the hundredth time always getting the same answer from Rodolphus--an exasperated sigh.

"Tell me one! Hey, look! Do you like that guy that just passed us? Or that boy over there?" Bellatrix pointed at a boy who gave them an odd look.

"Bellatrix, just because I am homosexual but that doesn't mean I'm a sodomite too. He's only 15 for Merlin's sake!"

"Alright. Just tell me one guy that you like and I'll stop. Or if it's convenient for you make me a list of the sexiest Death Eaters," Bellatrix bargained.

"Never."

"Do you like Rookwood?" she asked, smiling mischievously.

"Bella, I doubt his mother liked him, why should I?"

"Good point," she admitted but didn't give up. "Dolohov?"

"Too old for me," he said simply.

"Malfoy?"

"Gets on my nerves."

"Wormtail?" Bellatrix asked but she knew the answer to this.

"I prefer to get killed."

"Master?" she asked disbelievingly.

"I 'd never deprive you of your secret love Bellatrix," he whispered, smiling evilly.

She made to slap him but he caught her hand just in time to prevent it. Bellatrix tried to think hard of any Death Eater that may have interested Rodolphus so far.

"Regulus Black?"

"I'm not in the habit of fancying dead people Bellatrix."

"Barty Crouch Jr.?"

"Same answer."

Bellatrix sighed. She was ready to give up when she made a last hopeless attempt.

"Snape?"

Rodolphus didn't answer as if he hadn't heard the question. Bellatrix asked it again but he still kept walking, a bit faster now, leaving her behind.

Bellatrix's eyebrows raised and the most evil smile spread across her face beginning from her left ear and ending to the right one. At times like this she loved herself for being so evil and cunning.

"Hey! Wait!" she called after Rodolphus, her smile not willing to fade from her face.

She reached Rodolphus who was walking along with Rookwood and Dolohov. He was doing his best to ignore her. She opened her mouth as a silent threat but closed it as soon as Rodolphus gave her a warning glare.

"Oh, hi Bella," said Rookwood causing Bellatrix to wince at the name. "I was just telling Rodolphus and Dolohov about my first rap song. Do you want to hear it?" he said proudly.

They hesitated, not knowing what would happen.

Rookwood pressed a button on the CD player and music started playing while he sang.

Black cloak and an ivory mask

With a single curse we can kick your ass

We do everything Lord Voldie asks

So you better be scared of us

We are the Death Eaters (yeah!)

We never bring our clothes to the dry cleaner's (yeah!)

We are not fairies

We do not like cherries

Except maybe Wormtail

But there is a female

Bellatrix

Who moves like Nio in the Matrix

And she's married to Rodolphus

Who needs a Patronus

'Cause the Dementors are after him

He made them insomniacs and they hate him

We are the Death Eaters (yeah!)

We never go our clothes to the dry cleaner's (yeah!)

So you'd better watch out. (yeah!)

Rookwood switched from his rapper mode to his usual stupid one. "So…did you like it?" he asked them anxiously.

Dolohov and Rodolphus nodded, as they couldn't speak. It was the last thing they expected Rookwood to do.

Bellatrix, on the other hand asked suspiciously, "What is that Matrix and Nio thingy you were talking about?"

"Oh, that. It's a Muggle movie. I thought it rhymed with your name," Rookwood said proudly.

Bellatrix raised her eyebrow wondering whether she should believe him or not.

"Come. We've got to continue," Rodolphus said to them and continued walking.

She followed him and whispered something that sounded like a threat. "We haven't finished our little talk yet." She smiled evilly at Rodolphus who was obviously disturbed by her presence.

By nightfall they were all glad to see the Malfoy manor coming into view. Rookwood squealed in happiness.

"It's SO big! But…where's the swimming pool?" he asked Bellatrix.

"Err…it's probably at the backyard. Yes, that's it."

In fact she had no idea whether the Malfoys had a swimming pool or not.

The Death Eaters had reached the gate, which led into the front yard of the Malfoy manor. Rodolphus tried to open it.

"Shit! It's locked! What are we going to do?" he asked.

Bellatrix sighed in exasperation. She stepped forward and pointed her wand at the gate.

"Alohomora."

Nothing happened.

"Oh, the know-it-all Bellatrix made a mistake!" teased Rodolphus. "Did you really think it would be that easy to get inside?"

Bellatrix glared daggers at him but didn't say anything.

"Why don't we climb it?" suggested Dolohov.

"Last time we climbed something we met a hippogriff and nearly got caught," Bellatrix said in as-a-matter-of-fact tone.

"A lightening never strikes at the same place twice," said Rookwood suddenly.

"Sweet Merlin, you've started freaking me out, Rookwood. First you're a rapper and then you become a poet. Are you on drugs or something?" asked Rodolphus, worried.

"I don't think he is. Perhaps he eats many candies. No sugar from now on!" Bellatrix screamed at Rookwood who protested but could do nothing about it.

"So, we are going to climb again?" asked Bellatrix in distaste.

"We don't have any other way to get in." Rodolphus pointed out.

"Fine," Bellatrix gave up.

Rodolphus started clambering up the iron gate. Once he had gone to the other side he urged the others to climb too. Dolohov and Rookwood had no problem climbing but Bellatrix kept complaining.

"I'm sorry Your Highness but we couldn't find another way to get in. Please don't punish us," Rodolphus said sarcastically.

Bellatrix didn't answer she just muttered curses under her breath while she landed on the ground.

"Now, we are finally one step closer to find Master!" she said cheerfully and started walking towards the manor.

"We are finally one step closer to find Master!" mimicked Rodolphus in a girlish voice.

Bellatrix came to a sudden halt and said, "You should be glad I don't say anything.Because if you like I can say many surprising things."

"What things?" asked Dolohov curiously, looking at Bellatrix.

"Things that are none of your business, Dolohov," said Rodolphus coldly.

He hadn't even finished his sentence when they heard barking in the distance becoming louder and louder. The Death Eaters turned to the direction the barking was coming from and they soon saw three bulldogs running towards them with a malicious look in their eyes.

"Holy crap!" screamed Dolohov and started running along with Rookwood back to the gate.

Rodolphus looked at Bellatrix who was walking towards the three dogs.

"No, Bellatrix I don't think that's a good idea. No!"

"Avada Kedavra!"

The curse was cast three times in a row. The three dogs fell to the ground lifeless.

"I really believe that wasn't needed Bellatrix. They can sue you now."

"Oh, would you rather have the dogs rip your arms off, Rodolphus?" she asked sarcastically.

Dolohov and Rookwood returned back to Rodolphus and Bellatrix.

"For Slytherin's sake, what kind of Death Eaters are you?" she asked exasperated and continued her way to the front door.

They reached the door and Bellatrix grasped a handle that had the form of a snake and knocked. "She will be delighted to see me," stated Bellatrix to the others.

"I will open it! Go back to the kitchen!" said a feminine voice from inside and they heard footsteps.

"Who is it?" the voice, which obviously belonged to Narcissa, asked.

Bellatrix coughed in order to change her voice. "Err…it's…the mailman! Please open, ma'am."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Narcissa asked and opened the door.

"Sister!" said Bellatrix cheerfully.

Narcissa's eyes widened in terror. She shrieked bloody murder and closed the door right on their faces.

"I told you she would be delighted to see me," Bellatrix said brightly.

[The next chapter will be the last one for this story and it will take some weeks to send but please tell me if it's a good idea to write a sequel!]
