July 3rd: Lunch time:
If Denellen Zamora messes with me one more time, I swear I will not be taking the blame for any of my actions. If Voldemort doesn't like me killing him, he can just… Gah… I'm so mad…
I was having my breakfast with Rodolphus and his brother, Rabastan while Voldemort was doing something boring, and then he came along and sat with me banging on about how women should not be allowed positions of power or anything.
Rodolphus's face was so funny, his eyes were wide open and his mouth was as well, I think he must have been shocked at the time. And then, Rabastan dropped his spoon..
Anyway, I looked at him with a raised eyebrow, but continued eating though I really wanted to laugh hysterically. And THEN he said,
"You must be screwing the Dark Lord."
Rodolphus spluttered on his drink.
"Don't you have wards to be breaking?" I asked Zamora pointedly, and I think he generally took the hint that the question was out of bounds for him, and went away.
But still. It wasn't much, but I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SO annoyed. I mean, he is a sexist IDIOT who doesn't know what RESPECT for BETTERS is. Wait until I tell Voldemort… Just you wait…
Oh my god, he's got me so mad I'm TALKING TO THIS DAMNED DIARY AGAIN.
Damn him. Insanity is GETTING TO ME NOW.
July 3rd: 3:09:
I told him. He just kissed me on the lips and told me I look beautiful.
HE IS NOT SEEING THE STUPIDITY IN THIS.
I may have to kill someone.
5:34PM:
I don't care about Zamora so much now. I've had the bestest day ever, and we have a Celebratory evening tonight with dancing and music and food and drink… It's going to be so great, the last time we had one of them was when Voldemort got us from Azkaban the first time.
Voldemort just came into his room where I have been sitting sulking. He said that my public need me. What in the name of the Dark Mark is he talking about? I looked at him in wonder, then rolled my eyes and went back to reading.
He said that it's the first time I haven't tried to kiss him, so to make up he kissed me. Passionately.
Where did he learn to kiss…
Oh, I went in search for his Diary last night. I got a shock of pain when I touched it. I wonder what would have happened if I'd opened it… I need to ask him what the spell he used on it is.
Anyway, before he went he sat me on his lap and kissed me slowly on the lips. I think I shall forgive him for being strange. He can't help it, right? He had one hand all but in my armpit, and the other resting just above my hip, his fingers gently moving. I smiled and leant my head on his chest.
"He's sexist and horrible," I muttered into his robes. "And I hate him."
"Calm down, darling, he isn't worth bothering over," he whispered back to me, gently kissing the top of my head. "No matter what he or anyone else say, you're my Trixy who is both beautiful and powerful and everyone will submit to you."
I smiled innocently at him, then sat up a bit. "Even you?"
He rolled his eyes a bit in my direction. "Don't be stupid Trixy, it doesn't suit you."
I laughed. "But Voldemort, he said that I must be screwing you. He knows…"
"No he does not, and I shall be having words with him about it. If he wants this job, like he said he does, he can respect my decisions in choosing my most faithful follower, female or not, to be my second." He looked at me, and kissed me on the lips once more. "Whether I am screwing you or not."
I smiled at him, then kissed him gently on the neck. "It's nice that you are," I replied looking as innocent as I could. He has to think that I'm good at some point..
"Yes, I agree," he said smiled at me, then winking. "Well Trixy, I must be getting on now, darling." He sighed, and looked at me. "You really are so tempting… but I need to get on." I put my arm around him and kissed him once more. "I'll come help you if you want," I said softly in his ear.
"As long as you don't distract me in any way, shape or form," he said laughing slightly. "I know you won't mean to, but sometimes with you around it's hard for me not to touch you." Voldemort gently pushed me off of him, and then put his arms around me and kissed the end of my nose.
"I don't mind," I replied instantly, wrapping my leg around his waist tightly. A very small smile appeared on his lips and he ran one hand down my thigh, looking down on it, following his fingers.
"As lovely as that would be, I need to do some work and so do you, Miss Second." He chuckled and kissed me again. Work?
"What?" I pretended to be startled at that discovery. He looked all worried all of a sudden, as though he though I knew. And I do, but one deserves a laugh…
"Bellatrix, are you deadly serious?" he asked in quite a sharp voice. I raised my eye line to his.
"My Loorrrddd," I said in a whining voice. He laughed in what could be seen as a relived voice, and I smiled at him. "Had you there!"
He smacked my rear end with one of his evil-but-playing grins, and grabbed my hand. "If you don't work Trixy, I will have to hurt you in our next meeting." He sniffed slightly, and opened the door. "And I wouldn't like it any more then you." I squeezed his hand slightly, which he brought up to his lips and kissed. "So behave."
I giggled. "As always." He pulled me into him, and kissed me passionately on the lips, stopping only as someone walked around the corner. We were both worried right away because they'd seen us. Good luck, it was Rodolphus and not the blonde Malfoy scum…
He bowed to us both, with the smallest hint of a smirk. "I was just coming to find you, my Lord, Turner and Zamora wish to speak with you as soon as possible." Voldemort nodded slightly to Rodolphus, and his gaze moved back to me, eyebrows raising slightly. His arms around my waist were tightening slightly, maybe because of Rodolphus's presence, seeing the Dark Lord's first public display of some affection towards me.
"Are you going to come with me, Trixy?" he said softly, as though expecting me to refuse.
"Of course, my Lord," I replied with a smile.
He looked back to Rodolphus, eyes narrowed slightly. "I want you there as well Rodolphus," he said letting go of me and walking on quite slowly. "Where have you sent them?"
I glanced at Rodolphus who's eyes lingered on me for a while, before he winked. "To your office, my Lord." He turned and walked so he was next to Voldemort, who held his hand out behind him for me to take. I smiled, and caught up with them, and took his hand. He has such lovely hands… All warm…
As we reached his office, he let go of my hand quite quickly. There were lots of people around, though, so that was probably why. When we walked in, the Death Eater in with the two stood up instantly, but Turner and Zamora took a bit longer. Voldemort beckoned to the door for the Death Eater, who bowed twice, to me once then to Voldemort, and left, shutting the door softly behind him. I glanced slightly at Rodolphus who frowned slightly at me and moved his eyes towards the desk behind me.
I quickly turned around to look. Voldemort beckoned to the seat next to him, behind the desk, which I took. Rodolphus stood behind me, one hand on my shoulder, almost protectively. I turned my head slightly and smiled at him, and then turned my attention back to Voldemort. Like a good follower that I am, of course..
"What is the aim of this meeting, gentlemen?" Voldemort asked them softly.
"We're not getting anywhere, my Lord," said Turner quickly. "There is no gap in any of those wards, any in the slightest." He didn't look worried or afraid, but Zamora did. Maybe he knew he'd pushed it a bit this morning. WHICH HE HAD.
Voldemort looked very angry, but I though I would stay quiet for a while. "I have paid you both enough to do this, and I expect results," he said dangerously. "My Death Eaters know exactly what happens if they fail, every single one of them, and just because you do not have the mark does not mean you can mess me around."
"My Lord, with all respect, we're not trying to mess you around. You know we want to see Potter destroyed-"
"Want is not enough," Voldemort cut through Turner smartly. I noticed Zamora was very quiet, for once in his life. Loser… "I will give you a month at the most, and I want those wards and alarms down."
"We will do the best we can do my Lord," said Zamora suddenly. "And that is all we can do."
Voldemort opened his mouth to speak, but I got there first. "The best is not enough, Zamora," I snapped at him. "The rest of us have discovered it the hard way, but we can all make our way to the top if we want something bad enough." Zamora smirked at me suddenly. Not only is he a loser, he's a stupid loser. At that moment, Voldemort chose to discreetly rub the back on my leg with his foot as he spoke. I'm not sure if it was deliberate or not… He's random…
"I do hope that you do not have a problem with my choices of my Inner Circle, Zamora, because you are certainly acting as if I have made the wrong choice in whom my second is." Voldemort's fact wasn't readable, but he was fuming… I can always tell… The smoke coming out of his ears gave it away…
Not really, but his eyes always seem to turn into more of a darker blood red, almost spilling down into the paler colour. It's damned hot, I can tell you… Unless he's about to curse you, then you kinda don't look at his eyes so much, you fall to the ground screaming. I mean, I know from experience.
Zamora turned and left the room in a hurry, but Turner bowed to us before going.
Rodolphus's hand moved instantly, and he walked around the desk. "If you don't mind me saying, my Lord, that didn't go very well."
Voldemort's gaze moved from the papers on the desk in front of him, to my darling husband, faster then the speed of light even. Amazing man…
It made Rodolphus take a step back it was such a glare. The impact of it on him hit him so hard… I could see Voldemort was about to kill him so I placed one hand on his and then turned his face towards mine. "It isn't his fault," I whispered and then kissed Voldemort on the lips. When he pushed me back from him after a while of kissing, Rodolphus was sitting down and Voldemort's eyes were back to normal. I smiled sweetly and got one in return.
"Am I needed any more, my Lord?" asked Rodolphus softly.
"Just keep an eye on those two, I don't trust either of them." Voldemort's eyes were fixed firmly on me as he spoke.
"Yes my Lord," said Rodolphus softly, bowed and left the room.
Voldemort's hand immediately 'rested' itself on my thigh. "I would have killed him, if you hadn't stopped me Bella," he muttered. "I'm so furious that they can break every other ward, other then this one."
He sighed, rubbing my leg slightly. "Stop overreacting, you big sissy," I replied smiling. He laughed.
"Charming," he replied after a while of laughing. I tilted my head to one side watching him.
"Do you know how hot you are when you're fuming?" I stood up and perched myself on the edge of his desk, so I was opposite him. He pulled his chair forwards so his legs were either side of mine, his hands around my back a bit.
"How hot?" he said with a smirk. "How can it beat how hot I am now?"
I rolled my eyes. "You're eyes go dark blood red and it is the most turning on experience in the world." With a smile in his direction, I picked up a piece of paper and read. It was from Lucius. "How come you didn't tell me Lucius wanted to see you?"
Voldemort's fingers stopped their caress my back suddenly. I looked down at him. "I'd forgotten about that," he said with a smirk. "You know, Trixy, while those wards are still up there's not much I can really do." He paused and looked at me. "Shall we do something together?" He leant forward and kissed my tummy gently then stood up, his arms still around me. My tummy did this funny swooping thing it always does when he touches me, mostly before we got 'together'. Strange…
I nodded at him. "Do you think we need to run before we get spotted by Lucius?" I asked him, giggling. He laughed, and pulled me right into him, one hand in my hair.
And then, for the second time he said the most beautiful thing to me he would have: "I love you Bella." It was said almost jokily, but I could tell he meant it and it was his way of making it sound like he didn't mean it, because of who he is. And I don't ever expect him to say it to me, because I understand why he won't say it, so I know that when he does say it, he means it.
"I love you too," I replied quietly, and reached up and kissed him on the lips. "I don't know what I'd do without you." I rested my head on his shoulder and put my arms back around him.
"I don't know what I would do without you either," he said after a moment. He rubbed his hands up and down my back. "Shall we go for a walk by the lake?"
I nodded at him and he opened the door, letting me out first, before shutting and locking it. "We haven't been out for ages, it's like we've been inside for years," I said when we reached the stairs. "You're keeping me too busy, that's the problem."
"Problem?" he asked opening the front door. "You'd only complain if you weren't doing anything." He glanced at me sideways and smiled snidely.
"What makes you think that?" I asked him as we reached the lake. "I'd be quite happy sitting around in your arms all day."
Voldemort turned to look at the lake. "I know Trixy, and so would I, but we're both 'wanted' by the Order and the Ministry. We couldn't stop now."
"I don't want to stop!" I replied indignantly walking next to the lake, in front of him, taking one shoe off and dipping my toe into the lake. It was like breaking glass, the water spread back from my toe making ripples in an otherwise undisturbed lake. There can't be very much living in there, because it never moves unless it's been touched. Voldemort came up behind me, and put his arms around me. "You think to much about the small things, Bella," he whispered in my ear, rubbing his nose gently down the side of my face and my neck.
I smiled outwards at the lake. "Not at all, the small things are the things that help with the big things." He laughed softly.
"You must need plenty of help from the small things then with me around." He continued to laugh and I couldn't help myself but to join in.
"You are such a complete imbecile at times, my Lord," I said mockingly. "How you became the most feared Wizard in history defeats me."
"Well, I feel the same for you, Trixy. You're not the brightest of sparks," he replied with a grin, then took his shoes off and put two toes in the water. He then paused for a moment, the sunlight reflecting off of his eyes making them gleam like fire for a moment, until he turned back and flicked me with water. I gasped at him, then laughed.
"Two can play that game," I said softly, doing the same to him. He laughed, and grabbed my arm and pulled me into him.
"You'd be really mad if I threw you into the lake, wouldn't you," he said with a hint of a smirk. I looked at him with eyes narrowed.
"You wouldn't dare, so no, I wouldn't be mad." I smiled at him and kissed him on the lips.
"I would dare Trixy," he said, and then lifted me up and set me down right next to the water.
"Don't Voldemort!" I said laughing as he tickled me in the ribs… and fell backwards into the lake. It was quite warm, but it shocked me a lot. I surfaced, and Voldemort was literally wetting himself laughing, so I did a quick summoning charm in his direction, and in he flew. That stopped him laughing. He gasped as he came back up from the water, and then it was my turn to laugh hysterically. He looked at me, shaking his head, then swam over to me, and kissed me passionately on the lips.
"You know, if anyone came along this would look extremely dodgy," I said after a while of kissing him. It's hard to kiss when you're in deep water…
"Oh well," he replied putting his arms around me. "Trixy, you won't tell anyone that I love you, will you?" He was all quiet and sensitive, so I told him that I wouldn't ever tell anyone.
"But can I tell Rodolphus?" I asked after a while. "I like to be able to tell someone other then my diary about these amazing things." After a pause I realised what I'd said. "Not that I think my diary is a person or anything.."
He laughed. "I know you don't, beautiful. And I don't mind if you tell Rodolphus because he's already seen… Things…" He glanced around him with a smirk. "As lovely as this is, standing here with you all wet and sexy, we kind of need to dry off a bit."
I followed him out of the water and he dried me off with a simple drying spell. If I was him, I would have done something complicated to dry off, but he wouldn't ever show off unless there was someone to show off to, so obviously he doesn't think he needs to impress me. Maybe he thinks he already has, personally and physically… Well, he has, but I'm not telling him that because he'll get big headed and he'll be horrible to live with…
Oh yes, because I live with him now and everything…
He put one hand on the small of my back, and we walked back up to the Manor. "Do you have any other houses, Voldemort?" I asked him as we walked past the trees onto the grass.
"Not a house as such, a castle, but it's in a bad state after years of neglect." His grip on me tightened slightly.
"A castle?" I smiled at him. "Sounds very nice."
"Oh, I'll take you there one day and you can see it for yourself, and see how nice it isn't." I laughed.
"You just need a woman to sort it out," I said, still laughing.
He looked at me, eyebrows raised, with a rather nice smile.. "Yes, perhaps I do, and I also need a woman to sort me out." Now he was teasing me..
"Why yes, my Lord, you do indeed," I said kissing him on the cheek.
"Don't be cheeky, Trixy," he said softly in my ear, and then gently licked the shell of it. I giggled and put my arms around him, turning to face him.
"Punish me," I whispered quietly back to him, resting my head on his shoulder.
He smiled. "No, I've already pushed you into that smelly lake once today."
"You got it too." I laughed and kissed him passionately on his lips.
"Let's hope no one looked out of the window." He snorted and grabbed my hand, and we walked back up together.
"Are you sure we can't tell people? Some of the lower Death Eaters know." I walked through the open front door, which he shut, leaving the Entrance Hall in almost complete darkness.
"I threatened them into silence," he replied sniffing. "I wasn't sure if you were ready to be in the light with me, are you?"
"I want to tell the world that I am your lover," I replied. He grinned and pulled me into a kiss with him which I returned.
"Maybe we could have a little kissing session tonight then darling." He winked at me. "We've got some Vampires coming tonight though," he said as we walked back to his rooms. "Their leader is a beautiful female vampire according to McNair, so I expect I'll have to dance with her." I looked at him expectantly, which he noticed. "Of course, I'll be dancing with you as much as I can," he added on.
"I expect that there will be plenty of gorgeous male vampires there as well for me, so you don't have to worry," I said taking his hand. "I'll just be the unimportant second in command who doesn't deserve to dance with her lover."
"You deserve more then me," he said squeezing me hand. "Promise you won't get jealous tonight?"
"Only if you don't." I smiled. "I'm going to make you wish you hadn't been born tonight, my darling Lord," I said with a wider smile. "Why Vampires?"
He looked at me, and opened the door into his rooms. I walked through. "Because we need as many people as we can get, and vampires are perfect because they are so hard to kill." He shrugged and walked through to his bathroom, and I followed.
"They're worse then Bounty Hunters though, Voldemort, are you sure about it?" I asked him. He turned the water to the shower on, then turned to look at me.
"Don't doubt me Bellatrix, I know exactly what I am doing." He beckoned to me to come closer to him, which I did, and he gently kissed my nose. "The vampires have always killed mindlessly, unlike the Bounty Hunters. They themselves admit that they need something for a higher cause to do, and this is it."
I nodded. "If you have any doubts though, I think you should stop with them, right away." He smiled.
"I value your opinion Trixy, and I will do that." He paused. "Now, I need some assistance in having a shower, will you help me?"
I grinned, and started to undo his robes. "If my Lord commands."
You guys are so going to hate the next chapter. Really and truly, because the Vampiress is going to be really charming and beautiful, and beat even Trixy…
