A/N: Sorry to break it to you, but these characters aren't actually mine, they're J.K. Rowling's, NOT MINE. So she gets the credit.

"Bella come up here!" yelled Lucius Malfoy from the balcony of her room. He appeared to be holding a bottle of Scotch. Most of their friends were up there taking turns with the bottle. Bellatrix decided that was just what she needed so she rushed up to where they were.

She reached the balcony and Rodolphus brought her the bottle. After the bottle had been emptied Lucius was tugging on Bellatrix's arm trying to get her to come downstairs and dance.

"Let's go find Narcissa, Bella. I want to go dannnncing Bella!" said Lucius childishly.

"Alright, alright. Roddy baby, come on, we're going dancing!" Bellatrix screamed to Rodolphus who turned and followed her obediently.

For the next two and a half hours they danced non stop. As the party began to diminish Bellatrix and Rodolphus went upstairs with Lucius and Narcissa. They parted ways as Bellatrix and Rodolphus went into Bellatrix's rooms which were on the second floor, Narcissa's were on the third. Bellatrix and Rodolphus were so tired they fell onto her bed and went straight to sleep in each other's arms, still in their dress robes.

"Wake up lovebirds," said Lucius a little less harshly than usual.

"Get the fuck out of here Malfoy," said Rodolphus groggily.

"I agree," said Bellatrix.

"Haha, no thanks. I'm about to leave though don't worry. Well actually I'm about to go wake Narcissa up and then, err, and then leave. But I wanted to talk to you two about last night." As Lucius said this they sat up and looked more awake than they had before.

Bellatrix and Rodolphus looked down as they sat up and noticed they were still in their dress robes.

"Gross, I need to take a shower," Bellatrix mumbled.

"You'll have time for that later," Lucius responded. "Anyway are you two not really excited about starting our training so soon? I mean we'll have already had training before we return to school, think of that. Easter break is so far away though. I say we train some at school as well. I know we used to practice curses and hexes on each other anyway, but still. We can teach each other what we learned over Christmas break or at least practice it. So then by Easter we'll have mastered it."

"Excellent idea, Lucius. I wonder what we'll learn first, I mean he's got to realize that we know practically every defense spell as well as every curse we could ever get our hands on to learn. And with all your father's books on the dark arts that we've looked through, what else is left?

"The Unforgivables," Bella said casually. "Except we've had some experience with the Imperious Curse and a few of us with the Cruciatus curse. I bet he wants those mastered as well. I'm sure he's aware of what we already know; Wilkes had to have told him. I bet he knows more than we even know is out there. I bet we'll be trained to dual. It's not too difficult to learn these spells, but to use them and use them quickly is what we need to learn how to do."

"Yes, yes, exactly," Rodolphus and Lucius said together.

Bellatrix noticed Lucius gazing at his inner forearm. Bellatrix understood. She wanted the mark just as much as he did.

"Well, I must be off. Narcissa will be up soon." And with that Lucius strode out of the room leaving Rodolphus and Bellatrix together.

"Bella," Rodolphus murmured before he pressed his lips up against hers. He brought his arm behind her neck and put his hand on her head. It was a passionate kiss, not anything rough like usual. They lay there and kissed for about ten minutes, neither had the desire to be doing anything but. "Shit, I have to leave soon don't I?"

"You don't have to. Your parents just said they had some important things to talk to you about and you must get home on time. But since when have our parent's been able to control us?" Bellatrix stated slyly.

"Oh yeah, of course, I forgot," he said.

"Well there you go, your staying."

"No, no, I forgot that they had something important to talk to me about."

"But why would that matter, it can wait Roddy."

"No Bella, I don't think you understand. It is important, my grandmother just died and well there's something she left me in her will that is important, and probably even important with you.

"What could possibly be important to me that used to belong to your grandmother?" she asked with a bewildered look on her face.

"Bella, you'll have it figured out soon enough don't think about it anymore right now, I really do have to leave though, love. I'll owl you as soon as I get home. Let me know if your training soon." He kissed her once again, passionately, but a little rougher then last time. He thought she looked so beautiful. She looked, not innocent, but a little less devious than usual. She still had a devilish glint in her eyes. He ran one of his hands through her hair; it was still as silky and soft as always. He did not want to leave, but he really did have too. "Bye Bella."

"Goodbye," she said coolly. Then she smirked. Rodolphus had thought she was mad at him. Maybe she was, but at least he wasn't going to be cursed; she never cursed him when she was smirking like that. He smirked back at her.

"Damn, I'm going to miss seeing you till school," he said smiling.

"Well that's your problem isn't it?" Rodolphus knew he should probably be leaving. So after she said that he wheeled out of the bedroom into her personal library. In her library there was a fireplace and on the mantle was an antique vase with floo powder in it. He looked around once more, thinking about all the time he'd spent in that library, practicing curses with Bellatrix. Finally he stepped inside the fire, threw some powder down, stated "Le Lestrange Chateau," and was gone.

Bella was downstairs getting some toast wondering what Rodolphus's little secret could be when an owl was heard pecking on one of the windows in the sitting room. Bella got up and opened the blood red curtains which revealed a large black eagle owl with a role of parchment. She hastily opened the window and took the parchment.

She opened it up so hastily she didn't notice a small envelope fall out of it. The letter itself said:

Dear Bellatrix,

I will meet you tomorrow. It will be your only lesson over winter break, but we will soon meet again over your next holiday.

Lord Voldemort

Bellatrix read it over four more times. She wished it could have been longer. She wished he had told her more about what they were learning. She wished he could have at least told her what time he was coming. Then suddenly she caught site of the small envelope on the ground. She opened it up to find a pair of earrings. The earrings were a long string of rubies which got smaller towards the bottom. A ripped off piece of paper stated:

These reminded me of you, I hope you like them.

Sincerely,

LV

Whatever Bellatrix had been looking for before, a longer letter, information about what they were to be learning, the time he would be coming, she was no longer concerned with. She seemed quite content for the rest of the day, walking around haughtily in her new ruby earrings. Rodolphus wasn't the only one with a secret now.
