Chapter Four- Secret & Engagment Letter

Dinner that night at the Slytherin table was how it normally was. Everyone was busy talking about the people they tormented, what they did in the corridors before classes but the popular topic among the "popular" seventh year Slytherins was what happened in Potrions class.

'I'm going to kill Black, if its the last thing I do.' Bellatrix hisses, looking at herself in a mirror to make sure the "horror" was gone.

'Love, you shoudln't let that idiot get you so worked up.' Rodolphus said, kissing her neck.

She pushed him off her, a glare pasted on her face.'Worked up! Whos was the one who pulled out their wand and hexed him so hard into the wall, it borke his arm! So don't you talk to me about getting worked up!'

'Ah Bella, still as fiesty as ever, I see' came a silky voice. A voice that seemed like velvet on your skin. This voice belonged to Lucius Malfoy. Lucius had silvery blonde hair and cold stormy grey eyes. Lucius had graduated six years ago but would always come to visit his fiancé, Narcissa Black, her sister Bellatrix and Bellatrix's friends.

'Lucius, its always a pleasure to see you.' Bellatrix replied, as Lucius seixed her hand and kissed it, 'But shouldn't you be off wooing my sister.'

'Narcissa can wait. Right now, we need to talk business.' Lucius stated, holding an envolope in his hand.'

'Not here! Lets go back to the common room.' And with that, her, Lucius and her little group got up and left.

'Alright Lucius, you've been stalling for an hour! Just open the fucking letter and read it!' Rodolphus said.

'Patience, my friend. This is a reply to the letter Bella sent The Dark Lord. Normally, I wouldn't have been sent to give you this but rumors have it, they have people checking letters that are being sent to Hogwarts. So that's practically the main reason I'm here.' Lucius replied.

'So then just open it. I'm not one who has much patience.' Bellatrix snapped.

Lucius cocked on eyebrow but proceeded to open it. It looked quite long but Lucius cleared his throat and:

Dear Bella,

It is good to here that all my Deatheaters are doing well. I await the day you all join me, and start the war on the wizarding world. But for now, I will be brief. I'm glad to hear that my Julianna is back in the country. Its been awhile since I've seen her cute little scared face. I want all my Deatheaters to keep a close eye on her. You imformed me about her being sorted in Gryffindor. You'll have to keep an even closer eye on her, make sure she doesn't get to close to your cousin, Sirius, or his friends. Thats the last thing we need. Her parents were quite easy to, dare say, toss aside, but I have a feeling that she won't be that easy. We do have two choices, let her join us or kill her. I'm leaving Lucius in charge of seducing my little princess...

'Wait a minute. He's leaving me to do what! There's no way I'm touching Gryffindor scum!' Lucius said, outraged.

'It won't be that bad man! She's pretty good looking.' Avery said, smirking.

'Just finish reading the letter.' Bellatrix snapped, glaring at Avery.

...I should hope that there will be no problems with this. A letter has already been sent to Narcissa, letting her know what Lucius orders are and the consequences if he does not follow them! I am aware that the Ministry of Magic will be having their anual New Years Eve party and that all my Deatheaters merit an invitation. I will send a letter prior to the party to let you know what I expect of my servants at this party...

'The rest is more personal and direct towards Bella.' Lucius said, handing her the letter.

Bellatrix smiled as she read the rest of it.

'Whats it say?' Rodolphus asked, trying to look over to read it.

'Did you not here Lucius just say that the rest is more personal and direct towards me!' She snapped.

'Oh I almost forgot. I have another letter here for you, Bella.' Lucius said.

'Whos it from?' She asked but Lucius only smirked as he held the envolope in front of her face. Her mouth drop when she read the front of it:

Bellatrix Black

Slytherin House

Hogwarts

'Oh god, its from my mother. I can tell by the handwriting.' She said, sighing.

'You are usually...thrilled to hear from her? This time you are not?' Severus asked, cocking one eyebrow.

'No because I know what she'll be writing about.' she replied, opening it up and took out the letter, and sure enough she was right.

Bella,

Dear, I know it is a bit too soon, since the wedding is in ten months. But we need to start picking out you dress and you bridesmaide's dresses. Speaking of which, you need to ask some of your girlfriends if they would like to be. You can't have a wedding without bridesmaides! I would like Narcissa to be in the Wedding as well though. On your December Hogsmeade trip, Your Aunt, Persephone and I will meet you in Madame Zing's Dresses for Important Occasions at two-thirty. Jusr remember, and let me make this clear, You are not getting a black wedding dress! You'll look like the Bride Slut from hell! I was thinking of a long flowing strapless dress. Oh, I really think that would look simply decine on you, dear. Anways, I know you'll make our family proud by marrying Rodolphus. The coming together of the Blacks and the Lestranges means so much to your father and I. Rodolphus is a fine man and will make an even better husband. Why, with Rodolphus, you'll produce a wonderful heir. You father and I have done our best to make sure you and Narcissa have the perfect husbands and the perfect lives. Lucius and Rodolphus will provide you with that. Anyways, You and Rodolphus don't have to worry about picking out a place or food or anything like that. I'm picking out the place and the decorations and Persephone is picking out the food. Well I guess thats all that really important for now. Be good, be nice to Rodolphus and stay out of trouble!

'Your mum really isn't one who says goodbye.' Severus said.

'Not really.' Bellatrix replied.

'I have so many questions about that letter, I don't know where to begin.' Rodolphus said, a trickle of anger in his voice.

'Well do us a favour, and don't!' she snapped

'For starters, why haven't you picked out your bridesmaids? I have all my Ushers and my bestman. Why do you want a black wedding dress and why the hell is our mother planning this whole thing!'

'One: I'm not friends with alot of girls except three, four if you count my sister and I don't think my mum will like it if Daph and Sky are in the wedding.Besides, those two aren't my friends really. I just use them to find out whats going on in that house, so really I only have one two girlfriends. Two: I don't do white! White is not a colour I would like to see on me. Black is the colour that suits me.'

'Yeah, well thats not really tradional is it?' Sean Warrington said from the portrait hole.

'What are you doing here?' Bellatrix asked.

Sean Warrington has chocolate brown hair and smokey grey eyes. He has graduated six years ago with Lucius.

'Sent on orders with Lucius, plus I wanted also visit Kelly.' Sean said smirking.

'Well Kelly and I were talking the other night and she said her mum wore a black dress because white is a sign of virginity, apparantly, and thats something I lack of, same with her mum and according to her, she lost hers when she was fourteen on summer vaca to you. Your such a pervert. She was fourteen and you were twenty!'

'Yeah well I think we could have all figured out that you aren't a virgin anymore, think we'd be surprised if you still were.'

'Lasty: I don't know why their doing that stuff. Maybe your mum thought that since we're in school, we won't have the time, which I agree with that.'

'Whatever. I'm going to bed.' Rodolphus said, walking away not even saying goodnight.

'Yeah, I think I'll go and give my visit to Kelly.' Sean said.

'And mine to Narcissa.' Lucius replied.

'I'm going to bed too. Night.' Severus said.

After a few minutes, she was alone. She read over the letter from Voldemort again, but just the part that was direceted to her, but the last part of his letter stuck out at her:

"Don't screw up."

Keep on reviewing!
