It was a regular morning in the Slytherin Common Room. Not many people hung around, but there was usually around ten students wondering in or out of the room. Two students in particular were being watched closer than usual by passersby's. Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange were seated on an old green armchair in a far corner of the common room near a bookshelf full of old dark arts books. They were being watched closely because of their unusual location. On most occasions they would be talking loudly amongst themselves on the sought after, green- velvet couches in front of the fire. But this morning they were as far away as possible from other students whispering to one another. Lucius was seated in the chair and Bellatrix was sitting on the armrest.

Meanwhile, Lucius was having an internal struggle with himself. He was having some difficulty divulging his feelings towards Narcissa, to Bellatrix. If it was any other girl he would be able to tell Bellatrix about her. But this was Bella's sister they were talking about. It had the potential of being a little awkward.

"Ok Lucius, I understand you put on a façade of arrogance and omniscience twenty-four seven, but you're with me now…quit pretending you don't have feelings. Wow that almost sounded sort of thoughtful don't you think? Gross. Anyway, you're acting like a twelve year old. Don't make me curse you," finished Bellatrix with a grin.

"Ok, well, although I couldn't be more reluctant to admit it, I'm jealous of Jugson," said Lucius, finishing the last part quickly.

"WHAT," Bellatrix practically yelled. "Why" she whispered.

"Because, well, he has something I want. No that sounds bad. He has something I want and that I care about…have feelings for," Lucius replied not looking directly at Bellatrix.

"I still don't understand. There isn't anything you don't have, not to mention something Jugson has that you don't. So please, do elaborate."

"Hesdatingyoursister."

"WHAT?"

"See this is why I didn't want to tell you because it must be awkward to have your best friend like your sister and well…" But he got cut off.

"I meant "what" as in, I didn't hear what you said but….WHAT is it you're saying now? Do you like Narcissa? And your telling me, Jugson has wittle Cissa's heart?"

"Please Bella, don't do that. But yes, I'm j…je…jealous of Jugson because he's dating…your sister."

Bellatrix Black had never known Lucius Malfoy to have ever stuttered in anything he said. She knew he must really like Narcissa to have him stuttering. But then again, he was saying the word jealous which he had probably never used before, at least not when referring to his own feelings. Bellatrix looked slightly dumbstruck. First of all, Malfoy was having trouble getting a girl. Second of all, when could he have started to have an interest in Narcissa? They are rarely together unless Bellatrix is with them and she would have noticed something between them. She did not use Legilimency on people randomly, only when she had something in particular that she wanted to know, which was a lot of the time.

"Well then, are you going to let Jugson stand in your way?" said Bellatrix with a fierce glow coming over her face. "I mean, I didn't even know they were together. I'm sure Cissa would have mentioned it. Actually I'm positive she would have," said Bellatrix more to herself then to Lucius.

"Trust me, she is. They went into her dormitory together last night."

"OK, you know what? Jugson does not deserve my sister, despite how good a guy he supposedly is," she snapped somewhat angrily. "But I have to ask, when did this start? I mean I've never even seen you guys together."

Lucius explained their midnight meetings and what had occurred. He also explained that he had never felt like this with a girl before, which was what rattled him so much. He actually cares for a girl, and they do not care for him. It seemed that she cared for him at times, he told Bellatrix, but then she would turn icy towards him. After Bellatrix had seen for herself that Lucius was in fact telling the truth she knew there was more to it than they knew. She was determined to figure it out.

"Oh yeah, last night," said Lucius, "when we broke apart, well she said your name."

"Ohhh, I bet she thinks I'd be angry if I found out. I can be a teeny bit possessive about things. But don't worry, I'll figure this out, and if my sister has feelings for you, you'll be the first to know. And no one will know about this either, I owe you for covering up for me last year…twice," she said squeezing his hand.

Lucius grinned, remembering Bellatrix's crazy adventures the year before. "Yeah, yeah, I'm amazing, but I think it's time you wake up Lestrange or he'll never get up."

Bellatrix went to the door that led to Rodolphus's dorm, returned moment's later arm and arm with him. Lucius and Bellatrix had been in their own little world in that oddly dark corner, but that had not kept others from seeing them. It actually made them more conspicuous than usual because it was so rare anyone was ever over there. People had noticed, one person in particular: Narcissa Black.

For Narcissa Black, that was all the confirmation she needed. Lucius and Bellatrix had just finished a twenty minute conversation, alone, in a dark corner. And Bellatrix had held hands with him. And he had smiled at the gesture. She was an emotional mess. She waited till Lucius had left the common room, then waited a good fifteen minutes to follow in his suit.

All day Bellatrix had looked for an opportunity to speak with Narcissa. And all day long Narcissa seemed to disappear whenever Bellatrix had a glimpse of her. Little did Bellatrix know, but Narcissa was avoiding her.

Narcissa knew what Bellatrix was capable of. Bellatrix would see that Narcissa was upset. Narcissa would refuse to tell her why. And then Bellatrix would find out on her own. Not to mention the fact that Narcissa was jealous and angry at Bellatrix. Narcissa felt cheated. No boy had ever made her feel the way Lucius had, and yet he was secretly seeing her own sister.

It was late at night, although many people were still up. Bellatrix had been hiding out near the entrance to Narcissa's dorm room determined to catch her off guard. When Narcissa came through the common room door and made her way over to her dorm, Bellatrix met up with her.

"Narcissa, I haven't seen you all day, is something wrong?" she asked in a falsely considerate voice.

"No, Bella. I've just been busy that's all," murmured Narcissa without making eye contact.

"I'm sorry Cissa. Well go get some sleep. But, wait, I heard the strangest thing today, and I have to ask. You're not dating Jugson are you?"

Narcissa actually smiled at that. "Hahaha, no, not at all. I'm basically playing the role of his sister. I'm currently helping him pick out a birthday present for his girlfriend. He's quite pathetic at picking out gifts. He actually considered giving her a gift certificate to Zonko's. " Her face hardened again as if remembering to be mad about something.

"Alright, I didn't think so. You know how crazy the Slytherin gossip can get," said Bellatrix as attempted to see what Narcissa was thinking. Bellatrix sensed Narcissa was extremely angry. Then she saw a scene pass through Narcissa's thoughts. It was that morning when she and Lucius had been talking. She had squeezed his hand and he had smiled.

"Stop it! I know what you're doing. I'll figure out how to stop it someday. For now, I'm leaving," said Narcissa rather harshly. She turned around and swept through the door to her dormitory. Bellatrix knew better than to follow. Narcissa was almost as dangerous as Bellatrix when it came to the dark arts.

Bellatrix was racking her brains. Narcissa was angry because Lucius and I were friends. That made no sense. Narcissa was angry because Lucius smiled at me. That makes even less sense. Then Bellatrix thought of something. The only valid explanation to why Narcissa had been thinking about that particular situation would be that she did in fact like Lucius and was jealous because she thought he and Bellatrix liked each other. But that's just as farfetched, thought Bellatrix. I do have a boyfriend, she thought. Narcissa has to have realized that. I mean she definitely knows that, but I guess she could think I was cheating on him. Bellatrix could think of no other reason so she started making her way to the 6th year boy's dorms.

Bellatrix stops outside of a dark green curtained, king size bed and rips the curtains open.

"Bloody hell," murmured Lucius. After recovering from the shock of such an unexpected entrance, he said, "I thought you'd figured out," he said. He had been lying on his back in his bed, wearing a pair of green cashmere sweatpants. His History of Magic notes were sprawled all over the bottom of his bed.

"Good joke, Malfoy. But now's not the time." She explained to him her idea that Narcissa might think they liked one another. She reassured Lucius that she was not dating Jugson and had no feelings for Jugson.

"So this leaves me where?" asked Lucius.

"Well, I was thinking," she said.

"Oh dear, do I really want to know?"

"Fine, bye," she responded getting off the bed and making her way to the door.

"Bella, seriously, come back. Jeez you're difficult."

"Bella?" Rodolphus said through the curtains of his bed.

Bellatrix went over to him and explained she'd come see him soon but she had to talk with Lucius for a bit. He was a little bothered that she had come to see Lucius and not him, but no one argues with Bellatrix.

"Anyway, so my plan," she said glaring at Lucius. "I think you should go to her now. Talk with her. Find out for yourself. You told me that each night you felt like she liked you just as much as you liked her. So, maybe tonight won't be any different."

"I don't know about that. What if she hates my guts and wakes up the other girls as she's yelling at me to get out."

"She's really gotten to you hasn't she?" asked Bellatrix.

"Fine, Bella. I'm only doing this because I'm never wrong, and I defiantly felt something there before."

"Ahh, and the usually arrogant and cold Lucius is BACK."

"Ha." Lucius begins putting a shirt on but Bellatrix stops him. "It'll be harder to resist you if you don't wear a shirt…as much as it bothers me to admit it. Oh yeah, she sleeps in the bed farthest from the door. There'll be two on your left and two on your right and she's the one at the very end, in the middle.

Bellatrix left and Lucius made his way out of the dormitory. Emotions raced through him. What if she seriously hates my guts? What if she is disgusted to see me, thinking I just want her for one thing only? He had not thought about that. He had been to busy thinking about her liking Jugson to remember the possibility of her being disgusted by him. Lucius sat in the common room for probably fifteen minutes wondering whether or not he should do it. Finally he decided that he was in fact, Lucius Malfoy, who no girl had ever turned down. Well besides Narcissa Black.

He walks through the door and into the hallway towards Narcissa's dormitory. The hallway was lit with torches bearing dull green flames. Once he made his way into the dormitory he stopped. It was pitch black. Lucius waited a minute for his eyes to adjust and then began making his way towards the bed at the far end of the room.

Slowly, he opens the curtains of her bed. She is laying on her side facing the other direction. He can not tell if she is asleep or not, but regardless he sits down at the end of her bed. Her body jerks up.

'What? Wha…" she stammers, but never finishes because Lucius finger had pressed itself against her lips.

He just looked at her for a second and then they simultaneously leaned forward, lips meetings. Her hands went to his chest and his to her bare shoulders. She felt a shiver go through her entire body. She could not have asked for a better feeling. It was a feeling of completion and warmth.

Lucius's suspicions were immediately forgotten. He did not want to stop kissing her. The feeling of her soft skin on his lips was better than he could imagine. Meanwhile, Narcissa had untied his hair and was twirling some around one of her fingers, enjoying every minute of it.

Eventually they broke apart and lay side by side on Narcissa's bed, her arm draped across his bare chest.

"I definitely was not expecting this," said Narcissa.

"I had to know," he responded.
