By the time I could escape from Trista, the bell rang for my next lesson. I wandered slowly towards my class, taking my time because of my infatuation with my rose.
"Hey!" I heard someone call behind me. I turned and to my surprise saw Jake jogging to catch up.
"Thank you so much for the rose! It's beautiful!" I gushed. Jake blushed.
"It's alright. I wanted to send it earlier but I wasn't sure what you would think" He replied. We walked in silence up a set of stairs, making sure to step over the trick stair.
"What do you have?" I asked, as I saw my classroom coming up.
"I think Transfiguration. I'm not to sure," He answered. I saw the door to the History of Magic room and stopped.
"Well," I said softly, looking down. I felt very embarrassed. Jake kept shifting his weight from one foot to the other.
"Err, Bellatrix?" Jake asked. I looked up.
"Yeah?" I answered. Jake begun to play with his fingers.
"Will you go out with me?" Jake asked. I felt a humongous bubble grow inside of me.
"YES!" I cried. Jake came up to me and gave me a hug. I lent my head against his chest. I could feel his heart beating furiously within. As we broke apart, I saw Jake's mouth had broken into a wide grin.
"I have to go," Jake begun, his mouth opening again. I stood there knowing what he was about to say. He was going to ask me if he could kiss me. And I would say yes! Then he would bend down and kiss me. Our mouths open, taking in each other. My tongue massaging against his.....I shook my head to get out of my day dream.
Jake gave me a sly grin, "Will you kiss me? On my cheek?" He asked, pointing to his left cheek.
I felt my day-dream fly out of the window.
"Sure," I replied weakly. I stood up on my toes and gave Jake a small peck on the cheek. He stepped away, giving a small wave and walked down the corridor. Sighing, I opened the door and let myself into the classroom, sitting down next to Rodolphus. Professor Binns didn't notice, as he was rambling about a troll fight in the 1600's. I started to pull out my quills, parchment and wand. As I lent back on my chair and gave my hair a straightening charm with my wand, I noticed Rodolphus looking at me.
"Yes?" I asked. He smiled.
"Slytherin Party this Friday," He whispered. I looked at him, flicking my newly straighten hair behind my back.
"Really? What is the occasion?" I asked, watching Rodolphus as he summoned a fly to him by his wand.
"Professor Viled is going away for family business. That means no professor is going to be checking up to see if we're all sound asleep," Rodophus grinned, picking the wings of the fly. I smiled back. I love parties. Someone always brings that muggle liquor and everybody gets drunk. Slytherin parties are renowned for their rowdiness.
A ball of parchment flew across the room and hit my table. I looked to see where it came from and saw Trista wink at me.
Bellatrix,
Where were you just then? Did you talk to Jake? What's going on between you two?
Trista.
I started to scrawl back, telling her exactly what happened from the moment Jake said Hey to me to the second I opened the History of Magic classroom door. I saw Rodolphus read the letter by the corner of his eye.
"Narcissa's not going to be happy" He whispered to me, giving me a concerned look. I shrugged my shoulders. Taking out my wand to send the letter back to Trista, I replied.
"She's never happy. She never will be until I'm as perfect as her. But I'm not perfect" I sent the letter across the room. Rodolphus put his hand on top of mine, smiling encouragingly.
"And I never will be perfect" I whispered softly.
The week crawled past slowly. Most probably since it wasn't the best time of my life. Not the fact that I was dating Jake, but the fact that nobody approved of this relationship except Andromeda. Trista was shocked because she knew I knew what unapproved relationships had on my family. Also what surprised me was that Rodolphus wasn't happy with me all of a sudden. Possibly because of my new relationship with Jake. I sat down at the Slytherin table for lunch. The party was tonight and everybody was talking about it. Very quietly, since no teachers could find out. Ever since the whole Slytherin house had formed a hatred against me, the only Slytherin who would come close to talking to me civilly was Augustus but he mainly gave suggestive comments, still. I was shocked to hear Narcissa speak to me.
"So are you going to get drunk tonight Bellatrix?" Narcissa asked me. The table grew quiet as they heard somebody pay attention to me. After a few seconds for realization that somebody asked me a question, I answered.
"For sure, what else do people do at parties?" I replied. The chatter re- grew, with people agreeing and muttering to people nearby.
"So when are you going to break up with that mudblood sis? You don't want me to go ratting to Mother do you?" Narcissa lent forward to sneer at me personally. I glared back at her.
"I'm not dumping Jake because of how everyone is treating me. We'll get through it. If its love, we'll stay together forever," I tried to justify. Narcissa laughed coldly.
"IF it's love," Narcissa mocked, "Mudbloods and Muggles can never understand love. They think it's an emotion. Only TRUE wizards and witches realize that love is deeper than that,"
Narcissa comment grew the attention of a lot of the Slytherins again.
"Jake IS a wizard! He can perform-" I tried to defend Jake. Narcissa's face turned into fury at my fearlessness.
"He's a mudblood! Only PURE-BLOOD wizards understand the true depth of love!" Narcissa snapped, turning her face to stare at Rodolphus. His face turned a bright shade of red, "And I will make sure that only that love will remain in Slytherin"
I stood up and walked out of the hall with such fury, that I knocked over a Gryffindor seventh year, making her drop a jug of juice. Without saying sorry, I left the girl dripping of pumpkin juice and stomped into the entrance hall. I felt like screaming. I tightened every inch of my body, clenching it up. I felt like human fireworks. With one spark, I'll explode!
"Bellatrix? Are you alright?" I heard the slow sweet familiar voice ask. I turned to see Jake following me cautiously. Immediately my body begun to melt.
"Yes, now that you're here," I answered. Jake smiled. I felt like rushing up and giving him a hug. I wanted to feel his love. But he continued to stand there, I begun to re-think what Narcissa had said was true.
"Did you want to come up to the Ravenclaw tower? Just blow off your next lessons and stay with me. It'll clear your head," Jake asked. I felt a rush of gratitude. Jake does love me, with a true love. He just has a different way of showing it.
"Sure"
"So tell me about yourself," I asked. Jake and I were sitting comfortably in the Ravenclaw common room. It was really beautiful in here, blue couches and a huge fireplace which crackled friendly. Very warm and cozy, unlike the Slytherin common room. Jake sat with his arm against the back of the couch, while I sat cross legged next to him. But his arm wasn't around me at all.
"Well, I'm seventeen. I have a mother, a father and a younger brother. We used to live on a farm until we moved into London. Dad hates it there," Jake spoke. I sat there quietly, nodding so Jake knew I was listening. But his words barely went into my ears. I was too busy thinking about when Jake was about to kiss me. There's no reason why he shouldn't! We are alone, in the Ravenclaw common room. There are no professors or other students. Everybody was in class! "Sometimes I have to drive Mother around. She can't drive," Jake was still speaking.
"You drive an Automoby?" I asked. Jake looked at me puzzled.
"An autoMOBILE," He started to laugh. I closed my mouth and watched him silently. He stopped laughing and was looking at me strangely. I leant in to kiss Jake for the first time in the proper place. But he moved his face away from me.
"Don't you want to kiss me?" I asked. Jake put his hand on my knee and I felt a weird sensation go through me.
"I don't want to rush this ok?" He said softly. I heard him start talking about his family again and I realized what the funny sensation I had was. For the first time in my life, I felt sexual frustrated.
We sat there, uncomfortably, for the rest of the afternoon. Jake spoke about his life prior to Hogwarts. I told him about my family and the troubles I was going to have when they found out about him. At last, the bell went for the end of the last lesson. I stood up to leave.
"You going?" Jake asked. I nodded. He stood up solemnly and led me to the coat of armor, which really block the entrance to the Ravenclaw tower.
"I'm going to dinner now. There's a Slytherin party on tonight so I won't see you till tomorrow," I explained. Jake nodded.
"See you then," He said. I nodded. He lent forward and kissed me softly on the cheek. That same frustration came upon me. Why did he scoop me up and kiss me until I was breath-less? Some erotic thoughts of the two of us crossed my mind but I shook them away. It's just my hormones. Every teenager goes through this. I looked up at Jake and he smiled. Jake is probably past his so taking the next step isn't so important. As I left the Ravenclaw tower, I tried to convince myself what I was thinking was true.
