Bella's POV:

I spring out of bed and shove on my cloths. Tom is asleep THANKGOD! So I can make a fast exit. What have I done! One moment of weakness and WHAM! CHRIST ALMIGHTY! Do I have NO self control? I really must learn my lesson. With a sigh I open the door, looking at him for the last time I shut it behind me and practically run to my rooms where my HUSBAND will probably be waiting. God he deserves better than me. I am an AWFUL wife. But he is the dark lord... and I COULDN'T refuse even if I wanted to. (Which I don't!) I open the door silently and slip inside. I turn around hoping to see him asleep, but he's not. And what's worse, Melody's here to. She's sat silently in an armchair twisting her hands in her lap.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" she shouts and springs up. She runs to me and gives me the loveliest hug, that I can't help tears from welling up in my eyes.

"I'm sorry babe," I say. "I was...on an urgent raid." I say guilty. One look from lestrange (author's note: I can't remember his first name sorry! Let alone spell it, Rudolph? No that's the rain deer. It's something like that. He will have to remain Lestrange sorry for the spelling again. Until some kind soul tells me what it is, hint hint! Anyways!) One look from Lestrange and I KNOW that he knows EXACTLY where I have been and what I have been doing.

"Melody darling, go and do your homework." I say to her. She gives me a bemused expression. But exits all the same.

"WHO HEALED YOU?" I shout after her.

"I HAVE NO IDEA. IT WAS A LAD THOUGH; I CAN STILL SMELL HIS AFTERSHAVE." She shouts back from the hall.

"WHAT! HOW CLOSE DID YOU GET?" I ask alarmed.

"I didn't go anywhere near him, I was pretending to be unconscious, but he did, BUT NOT LIKE THAT!" She giggles and walks off. I close the door after her. And reluctantly look at Lestrange. He is FURIOUS! I can see him fighting to control his emotions, but he isn't succeeding. His blue eyes have darkened to near black. His hands are clenched into fists and he is gritting his teeth.

"I'm sorry." I whisper ashamed.

"You revolt me." He hissed at me. I look up at him hurt.

"DON'T YOU DARE LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT! IF YOU WANT TO BE HIS SLAG THEN FINE! DO YOU HAVE NO SELF RESPECT?" he shouts. I flinch.

"I'm sorry." I whisper again. He gives me such a filthy look that I glanced away totally humiliated and feeling sorry for myself. He springs up,

"I'm going out." He snaps. "Don't wait up." And he walks from the room slamming the door behind him. WHY OH WHY! CHRIST! I AM SO STUPID! Tom won't want to know me tomorrow, but my husband I have to live with for the rest of my life.

Tom's/Voldemort's POV:

Where the hell has she gone? Probably gone back to her bloody husband, I'll have to kill him. That or forbid them to see each other again. She probably thinks that I will ignore her now. I would never do that. She's special to me. I don't love her, but I do have a certain fondness for her. she will be mine. She can't refuse! Anyway it's the best thing for all of us, Bella, me and Melody. Her parents will be together again. Yes that's my decision. Thinking just briefly about Melody turns my thoughts into turmoil. What have I done? Why on earth did I hit her? She could have died! I just can't help it. I can't get close to anyone not even my own daughter. It's not her, to me she's perfect, it's me. What if she's ashamed to have me as her father? Whatever chance that I had of a relationship with her, is defiantly ruined now. She won't want to know me. With a sigh I fling myself out of my bedroom and stomp down from my gallery into the living area below. There's a swish and a figure appears before me. It's Lucius, and he's looking worried.

"I think he's back." He says.

"NEVER!" I say springing to my feet.

"She was healed, just like that. He must have done it! He must have! How else..."

"This CAN NOT be happening to me." I snap.

"What shall we do? Send him to Hogwarts; let Dumbledore take care of him like we did with the girl?"

"No... with the girl it was different. This is serious. Any way, he is still very valuable to us."

"But what if Melody finds him, what if she finds out..."

"She won't. I'll make sure of it."

"But you can't separate them."

"OH YES I CAN! I have to think of someway to get her mind off everything else. She's nearly 17, what do 17 year old girls think about?" I ask.

"How the hell should I know, was I ever one?"

"Sometimes Lucius I wonder myself!" I add slyly.

"Very funny Tom. I will go and fetch Narcissa she will know what to do."

"Yes good idea. And Bella! Go and get Bella to."

"As you wish."

"What is so urgent at this time of night!" says Bella angrily rubbing her eyes. Narcissa is sitting quietly next to her.

"It's alright Narcissa; I'm not going to bite you!" I laugh. She looks at my and gives me a weak smile. Christ! I'm not THAT bad am I?

"Melody is 17 next month. I need to know how to keep her mind on everyday things. But I just don't know what!"

"Gosh! 17, I was married by then." Says Narcissa. That's when it clicks.

"YES! That's it! She will be married!" I say pleased with myself.

"But what if she doesn't want to?" asks Bella.

"She has no choice. Now who..." I look at Lucius, he shrugs.

"It needs to be a pureblood." Says Bella.

"OBVIOUSLY!" I say. "And he needs to be powerful, so he can be the next dark lord, because Melody obviously can't be it!" I look at all three of them. They obviously have no idea either. I look at Lucius again; I'm used to him having all the plans. Christ this is getting us NOWHERE!

Author's note:

OK people, work with me here. Who should she marry? The obvious answer is Draco. But I want something more...sinister. Any ideas? Please say you do! Harry...no. Ron... NO. WHO THE BLOODY HELL IS THERE? If there is no one else then Draco will have to do. I love him and everything but he is very... predictable. I have just realised that Bella and Voldemort have picked up my habit of saying "Christ." OOPS! Sorry about that! SOOOOO out of character! Can I please have your ideas? Love ya people!
