Chapter Two:

Sirius' Room and Regulus' Room

Bella turned in the person's arms. "Hello." she said, coolly. Her body molded to fit his.

"Were you scared?" he asked her.

"Rodolphus, you seem to be forgetting. Blacks are never scared, shocked at times, but never scared." she whispered back to him before leaning forward and kissing him, passionately. He smiled at her.

"Of course, how could I forget. How are you, Bella?" they still stood in front of the window where he had surprised her.

"I'm fine. How did you know I was here?" she replied. Their bodies were perfectly fitted to each other.

"Narcissa told me. I figured I'd floo down here for a little visit." he smiled.

"Still haven't passed your apparition tests, then?" she laughed, leading him over to sit on a couch.

"No, I haven't. Has your mother agreed to let me see you yet?" Bellatrix's mother wouldn't allow them to see each other, she feared that they would run off and get married or have a child or something silly like that.

"No, she hasn't." She put her head on Rodolphus Lestrange's shoulder and they just sat there for a while. "Summer's almost over. I can't believe I haven't seen you since we got off the Hogwarts Express..."

"I know, I can't either. But, Bellatrix, I have to go. My mum's not too happy with your mum and won't be too happy if she finds out I'm here. You know what happens when Mum's unhappy." he laughed, dryly.

"Yes, I know." Bella sighed.

"I love you, Bella." He whispered and kissed her on her nose.

"I love you, too." she replied, and they stood up. He kissed her again, this time more passionately. A more suitable goodbye. He grabbed a handful of floo powder, "The Malfoy Mansion" he said clearly after winking at Bella, who only waved sadly.

She stood there, just staring at the fireplace, for a while before snapping back to her senses and working on some more chores.

"To Sirius' room, then." Bella sighed. It was rather easy, no bothersome sorting. She magicked the toys back to their spots, and magicked the spot a bit of grape jelly had made away. "Regulus' room." she said. "That will be all for tonight." It was dark out, and still raining like there was no tomorrow.

"My god! How the hell did this child make this room so messy?" There was jelly stains all along the walls and on the carpet. Regulus had apparently coloured 'pretty pictures' all along the wall by his bed. Toys were scattered everywhere. Both dirty and clean clothes hung from the curtain rails, were piled on the bed and the floor, and were scattered in various places throughout the room. "What a disaster!" Bella said, her disgust clear, as always, in her voice and on her face.

The jelly easily came off with the cleaning charm, but the crayon marks were stubborn. She fetched a bucket with soapy water and a sponge. "I, Bellatrix Araminta Black, swear to never have a nasty little child, for fear that he or she will turn out like little Regulus, or muggle-loving Andromeda." Bella swore.

She scrubbed and scrubbed for what seemed like hours, but it had only been fifteen minutes. It was gone, a little faint, but gone. The cleaning charm fixed the toys and the clothes up. A few blasts from her wand killed the spiders that had been biting young Regulus.The room was done. Finally.

"Off to sleep, then." she said, tiredly. Bella entered the guest bedroom, changed into something more suitable to sleep in, and lay down.

A/N: Short chapter, I know. But, I want to split them up by the chores she does! LOL. I took a wild guess at Bellatrix's middle name. If anyone can tell me why I picked Araminta(or where I got it from, rather) before I update, chapter three will be dedicated to said person. Please review, I'll update faster if you do! Lol. And, always remember, CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
