AN: There's no Andie in this chapter. Doesn't that make you sad? Don't worry, she'll be the starter of the next chapter! Well, I don't have much to say this time, except REVIEW! Oh and to those of you who did:
Griffins95: Bellatrix may be a bit misled, but I think she has good intentions. I'm glad you like her. Oh and thanks!SoccerGirl2044: I know, doesn't chicks punching meanies rock? I think I'm going to steer clear of having crappy stuff happen to Ted and Andie. They need a little bit of fluff time inbetween! And as for the "secret admirer," we'll find out soon. Thanks!
Chapter 12Things were happening so quickly, that the three sisters barely saw eachother. Bellatrix was deeply involved with her "secret" death eater program. Andie was sneaking off with Ted, and practicing Quidditch.
And, Well, Narcissa wasn't doing anything to occupy herself on boring afternoons.
Petra would usualley chat with her, while Charlottes nose was buried in a book.
"So." She said, "Receive anymore of those secret admirer notes?"
"Oh, Petra, that was months ago." Now, being April, she hadn't given it a second thought.
"I'll take that as a no, then?"
"Duh." She replied dully.
"Well, aren't you the least bit curious as to who gave it to you?"
"No." Replied Narcissa cooly.
"I would. I mean, let's see…he's got to be rich…"
"Oh, cut it out will you." Narcissa laughed.
"Well, I just thought it would be nice for you to have a boyfriend, like I do."
Narcissa stared at her for a second, then said blankly, "You don't have a boyfriend."
"Correction. I didn't have a boyfriend untill Henry Rockfield asked me out this afternoon between Transfiguration and Herbology."
At this, Charlotte looked up from her book, "You're joking."
"Am not. Ask him yourself. We are official."
"That's great!" Charlotte exclaimed, "He's really cute."
Petra giggled, "I know."
"I'm hungrey. I'm heading down to dinner." Narcissa told them, and they nodded.
"Yeah, go without us. I've got to stop at the library, and Petra's in need of talking to the Dell, you know, the team captain, about something quidditchy." Charlotte said quickly, seizing up her bag.
"All right then. But be quick, I hear they're starting to take house points away for missing dinner." They headed in different directions after they exited the portrait, and Narcissa felt strange isolated as she walked down the halls. She was so rarely alone in these halls, it scared her.
Her footsteps echoed throughout the vacant hallways, and she gulped as she was alone with her small, timid breathing.
Suddenly, she realized the footsteps she were hearing were at a double. Someone else was in the hallway.
If you have ever been by yourself, and noticed all of a sudden you have company, you seem to jump to the conclusion that they are following you. Narcissa jumped just to this conclusion.
Having being nervous about the people in this school after Andie's friends attack, she fastened her pace. And the person behind her fastened theirs.
She kept steadily becoming faster, and as did the person "stalking" her. Soon, caught up in the moment, she began to run.
"Narcissa? What are you doing?" Called out the voice behind her, and Narcissa felt a bit of warmth fill her with the recognition.
Sure, she didn't like Jerimiah much, but at least he wasn't going to kill her.
She turned around, to find Jerimiah Brown walking towards her, panting.
"Wow, Narcissa, didn't know you could," Pant, "Run that fast."
"Well, it's just I thought…" She stopped, realizing how ridiculous her explanation would sound, "What do you want."
"Just wanted to know if you want to walk down to dinner with me. You seemed pretty…er… scared by yourself." He was jamming his fists in the pockets of his cloke nervously.
Narcissa rolled her eyes, "I think I'm capable of walking by myself without pissing myself, thanks."
"I…" He sighed, as she began to walk away, " Didn't mean it offensively."
"Sounded like it."
"Oh, come on, Narcissa, you aren't going a different way then me. Just walk with me."
"How do you know I'm not going a different way than you?" She snapped, placing her hands her hips.
"What?" He said, and he was echoeing her thoughts. She didn't know what on earth she was talking about. It had merely sputtered out of her mouth.
"I said, how do you know I'm not going a different way than you?"
"There's no other way!" He exclaimed exasperatedly. Then an idea came into her head. That passageway Andie was always talking about. Yes, she remembered! "Ted and I discovered it just behind the portrait of Fiona the Brave, the password is isolation. You can get anywhere in the building without being disturbed by another soul. You just say where you want to go to the little skull thing, and it makes you a path to get there!"
"Yes. There is!" She pulled his arm, and found the portrait at the end of the other hall.
"See, all you do is say isolation," She said, and the portrait swung open, and brought him in. "And then you say were you want to go."
"Oh my gosh! Like this can bring you anywhere?"
"Yeah, anywhere in the cas-
"Forbidden Forest!" He exclaimed, and Narcissa's eyes widened. The white room they had been in turned black and the door out disappeared.
"Jerimiah! You imbicile! First of all, that's not in the castle, second of all it's forbidden! Now we're stuck in here!" She cried out, placing her head in her hands.
"I-I'm sure there's a way out. Great Hall." He said, but nothing happened.
Narcissa began to panick "Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I'm stuck in here….we're stuck in here. Oh my gosh…Jerimiah, what's going to happen? Are we going to…" She placed her hand over her mouth, and whispered, "Die??"
"Don't be ridiculous." He half assured her, half assured himself. "We'll be out of here in no time."
"Better be." She replied, leaning against the wall. "I don't think I can spend more than five minutes with you."
"I don't understand you, Narcissa. It's like you're nice to everyone but me." He did the same as Narcissa, leaning against the opposite wall, looking to the floor.
Narcissa was silent for a second. It was strange. She didn't know why she did that.
"Um…Am I supposed to say sorry?"
"I don't know." He said, waving his hand, "Do you like hate me or something? I mean, I like go out of my way to be extra nice, but it's always the same thing. "
"What are you talking about? I'm not mean to you all the time. And you were the one who started it by turning my hair blue."
"It was a joke! I thought you might have a sense of humor somewhere. But I guess not."
" I do too have a sense of humor. Maybe if I weren't retarded like you I wouldn't think everything is funny." She snapped back.
"I am not retarded."
"Yes you are."
"No, I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"No"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
By then they were both standing, fists clenched, only a foot away from eachother.
Narcissa took a deep breath, smoothing her hair, "Listen to us, we sound like children."
"I thought we are children." He said thoughtfully, "I mean, aren't we considered children untill we're teenagers?"
"I was saying we should stop fighting and grow up, but if you want to continue, fine." She remarked hotly, and glared at him for a second, before pounding at the wall they had came through. "Come on!"
"I don't think we're getting out of here." HE commented as she continued to bang at the wall. "Anytime soon, at least."
"Yeah, and all because of you."
"If you hadn't brought us here, we wouldn't be in this situation."
"And if you had listened to me and not scream fobidden forest, we wouldn't be in this situation."
"Well. It doesn't matter. We can't turn back time. We're stuck here, no matter who's fault it is."
Narcissa looked at him profoundly, surprised how right he was.
"Yeah. You're right. So what do we do?"
"Wait till someone finds us."
Narcissa groaned, "Yes, well, what do we do till then?"
He grinned sheepishly, "Snog?" He asked hopefully.
"In your dreams."
"Every night!"
Narcissa couldn't help but laugh. This was going to be a long night.
****
Bellatrix was completely disinterested with todays history of magic lesson. No, I'm sorry. Everyday's history of magic.
She was staring out the window, which was luckily unblinded. She was sitting next to Jennifer Not, who was ripping up a piece of paper anxiously.
"What's wrong?" She whispered to Jennifer.
She shrugged, "Little nervous. You know, we're going to meet our death eater leaders today."
That's right. Today a few specific death eaters were meeting them in the Hogs Head to discuss their progress. Only it wasn't a Hogsmeade weekend.
"Oh, it will be fine." She assured her.
"But what if we get caught?" She asked, biting her lip.
"Oh, everyone pulls it off all the time." She waved her hand to assure her, and Jennifer sighed.
"You sure?" She whispered timidly.
"Don't worry about it. Everything is under control."
They snuck out that night, thrill passing through them when they reached the cool crisp midnight streets, they were alone, if you didn't count the beaming streetlights.
They found the Hog's Head easily. It was a bar, but at this time at night, most were over at the three broomsticks.
They entered with a swing of the mahogany door, to find only a waitress and some familiar shady looking figures.
Ursus and Lucuis Malfoy were present as well as a Loise Zabini.
"Hello." They all greeted as they got a table.
"Well, let's get down to it," Loise Zabini said in a hushed voice. "Which of you all are the two partners responsible for it's running existence?"
"I, Lestrange, and Black over there."
"How far are you in training?" Asked Lucuis Malfoy, flipping a bit of blond out of his grey eyes.
"We have covered absolutely everything necessary, and a few things extra." Bella cut in smoothly.
"Excellent" Replied Ursus, a malicious smile playing on his thin chapped lips, "Then tonight we're going to see what you are really made of."
