Disappearing Hearts
By: Hixxy
Author's note: Alrite now we're finally getting to the James/Bellatrix romance! By the way I'm getting so sick of writing Bellatrix I decided to just write Bella ok? Ok On with the story.....
Summary: this is basically a Bellatrix/James/Lily love triangle fanfic with the main focus being on Bellatrix and James so if this is not to your taste I suggest you leave.
'Speech'
(Thought)
It was about 8 o'clock in the evening when the train reached Hogwarts.
(finally here....) Bella thought wistfully
Truth be told, Bella considered Hogwarts to be more her home then the Black manor where she lived, where her parents didn't care about her and there was no one to talk to. At least here, she was with her peers, it was true that it hurt being teased and ridiculed; but at least it didn't hurt as much as the feeling of being alone.
In the great hall, she sat down at her seat on the slytherin table between two girls that were chattering loudly with their friends, they just gave her a glance and then went straight back to chattering to whatever they were talking about, only this time they were discreetly pointing at her and Roldolphus, who was sitting at the opposite end of the table. She had a pretty good idea of what they were talking about, which made her face burn with shame. Suddenly, one of the girls turned to her with a sly smile.
'Hey Bella' she chirped with a fake sugary sweet voice 'I heard you and Roldolphus had sex on the train'
Shocked that they had stated it so bluntly as if it were true, she snapped her head to the offending girl and screamed.
'WHO THE HELL TOLD YOU THAT!?'
'uhh...so..som..some..Gryffindor' the girl replied fearfully at the sudden outburst.
'Point him out!' she ordered, though she could guess who it was
And sure enough the girl's trembling finger pointed at ..........Sirius.
She didn't know why her temper was in low tolerance today; throughout all the years she just put up with all the teasing and bullying that her peers set upon her day after day, then go up to her room to have a good cry to let it all out then.
But TODAY...today was the last straw; all the pent up hurt and emotional abuse was ready to let loose, her first victim being Roldolphus and it seemed like her second was going to be her hated cousin.
Indignantly, she marched right over to the Gryffindor table and slammed a palm on their table, gaining the attention of all the Gryffindors, who were shocked at the meek Slytherin who everyone made fun of, standing there with eyes that were filled with fury and drenched with tears.
'SIRIUS, HOW DARE YOU SPREAD THOSE LIES ABOUT ME!'
Sirius, who was swinging on his chair quite cockily, was suddenly blown back by the pitch of her voice, falling into a heap on the floor. But he got right back up and gained his composure before retorting back with
'What lies? If it's concerning you it's all true'
'You know they aren't! Why can't you just leave me alone!' she yelled
'Hey don't talk to my friend like that!' Remus Lupin intervened
'Yeah go away, you loser' joined Peter Pettigrew
James for the entire time just sat there with a wistful look on his face, wondering how long this argument is going to last; but from his point of view, it looked like Bella was going to lose by the way her body was trembling and the stutter starting to form in her speech, and also the tears that were threatening to spill out.
'WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!!!!!!' screeched a new voice.
It was professor McGonagall, the head of the Gryffindor house, and she did not look very happy, in fact she looked downright PISSED.
'She started it!' Sirius accused in earnest, pointing at Bella.
'NO I DIDN'T!' Bella retorted. 'It was him professor!'
'I don't care who started it! I'm taking ten points off both houses and giving you both detention for a week! Which you will both serve under Argus Filch!'
'Now, Now Minerva we can't burden Argus with the responsibilities of supervising two children, not with all the work he has to do.' Said a new comer, who appeared out of nowhere. 'Albus! I didn't hear you come! How did you...never mind that How will these two students be punished then?' asked McGonagall
'May I suggest that Mr. Black be supervised by the Head girl, and Miss Black supervised by the Head boy?' said Dumbledore with a twinkle in his eyes that only Bella caught.
'Of course Albus, you are the headmaster after all.' McGonagall replied meekly. However her voice changed immediately back to strict when she addressed the two Blacks.
'You heard the headmaster! You will both serve detention cleaning the classrooms 301 and 605 supervised by the head boy and head girl, now sit down and be quiet!'
After that little incident, Bella barely noticed the sorting ceremony and feast, which followed soon after, deep in thought she wondered why Dumbledore's eyes were twinkling as he gave their punishment. She was shaken out of her reverie when it was time to announce who was to be Head boy and Head girl.
'And the title of Head boy and Head girld go to........' her ears perked up in suspense
'James Potter and Lily Evans!' boomed his voice across the great hall.
Astonished, she pinched herself to make sure it wasn't a dream, yep it wasn't a dream it was real all right.
(Me and James together for a whole week...) she thought blissfully (I can tell him how I feel then, and Sirius won't be able to ruin it)
After the feast was over, it was time for everyone to go to bed, however Feeling excited for the first time in her life, Bella couldn't sleep so she opened her journal which had a moving picture of him that she had taken when he was playing quiddicth, charmed to say I love you in speech bubbles, and just looked lovingly at it for ages.
Next morning, after all her classes were finished, she practically flew to detention in room 605 not caring at all about the usual taunts from her classmate, after all, when James is around nothing else mattered to her.
When she got there, James was waiting for her, with a smile on her face she greeted him.
'Hi James, so where do we start?'
Moving closer to her he replied
'How about here?' and with that he kissed her passionately
Caught by surprise, she was quite unprepared for it and fell over with James on top of her Feeling happiness, as she had never felt before she melted into his kiss and embraced him hard, wishing that it would never end.
They were lying there for quite some time when Sirius dropped in, what he saw shocked him to the bone, there was his best friend lying on top with his most hated cousin!
'PRONGS, WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING!!!!!!'
Startled out of their wits, they quickly untangled themselves from each other.
'Padfoot, I love her if you can't handle that, then you are no longer my friend' James stated.
When Bella heard that, she felt like she was in heaven.
(He loves me too! Oh this is a dream come true!)
'FINE THEN' Sirius screamed and then left
'Now where were we?' James said teasingly turning back to her.
'I..I..think we were k..kissing' she stuttered while blushing with happiness
'Oh yes that's right, let's get back to doing that then.' He said seductively. 'But before we do...I just want to tell you that I have loved you ever since I laid my eyes on you.'
Blushing uncontrollably Bella replied
'Oh I loved you since we first met as well, but I was so afraid you didn't feel the same way.....'
'hush now' James put a finger to her lips ' We're together now, and that's all that matters'
And with that they embraced each other again.
POOF!
Bella opened her eyes, and saw the picture of James on her lips. (Damn it was all a dream! A nice dream.... But still just a dream.)
And with that she closed her eyes to try to make tomorrow come faster, anticipating the time alone that she was going you have with James...Sirius free.
Author's note: I've come to realize that I kinda made Bellatrix abit too wimpy, so I decided to give her more of a back bone, hope you guys are okay with it. By the way did I fool you guys with the ending of this chapter? I hope so Last thing I have to say is R&R!!!!!!! coz with your support and encouragement I get motivated to write.
That is all.........till next time! laters!
