I was hungry, I had to go and get some food. It's hard being important, you can't go anywhere without boring questions being asked. I told them I was on a break and they could go to the Dark Lord's office, he'll appreciate that.

Anyway, where was I… Oh yes. My Lady.

I managed to keep the smile off my face. I only managed it because Lucius decided to come over. God I hate him.. He bowed deeply to Voldemort, and kissed my hand, which was actually not that bad… He has very soft lips…

OH MY GOD. STOP. Sorry Voldemort if you're reading…

"Am I to expect all of this now, my Lord?" I asked Voldemort, who looked slightly surprised that I hadn't already got that.

He nodded, then looked back to Lucius.

"Will your wife be here tonight to hear the good news?" he asked Lucius softly. Oh my god. My sister is Lucius's wife which means that Voldemort will be related to Lucius. I looked up at him with a smile, and I think he understood my thoughts because his fingers tightened around mine a little bit.

Lucius nodded. "Yes my Lord, she returns from London on her visit to her friend tonight, and she shall be here later. I look forward to seeing her, my Lord, I have not for at least a se-night." Oh that was such a suck up. Like he missed her in the slightest, he was probably out finding other blondes to 'party' with.

"Excellent, I shall look forward to seeing her also." I looked at Voldemort very sharply, which he conveniently ignored. I shook my head slightly, and smiled at Adala who was looking at me. She smiled back, with a little nod which I think was possibly one of respect. Aww, she's nice.. I bowed my head back to her, and she turned back to her partner and continued to dance.

I wonder what her eyes look like when they're all vampiry… I bet they go sparkling silver and red to match her dress…

"…Bella?" I could hear Voldemort say. I turned and looked at him, Lucius was gone.

"Yes my Lord?" I replied, watching him. He smiled at me, and ran his hand down the side of my face. I kissed his thumb as it passed my lips.

"You look wistfully at the dance floor," he said loudly. Oh look, out comes the Dark Lord act. "Perhaps I had better find you a worthy partner!"

He's under the influence of alcohol, we can't blame him.

"There would be no partner better then you my Lord," I replied softly. He laughed, and stood up.

"Well then, I had better comply with what you wish," he said, holding a hand out to me, which I took when I had stood up. He led me to the centre of the dance floor, and put one hand on my waist. He was clearly pretending not to be interested in me, and very well too. He was looking everywhere other then my face, at other people, smiling, winking.

"Trying to get some fun in now while you're now married?" I asked him softly.

He looked at me. "What do you mean? I'll still flirt the same with everyone, including you, even when I'm married. Marriage won't stop me from doing that." He smirked. "But Trix, know this: you'll be the only one I'll be interested to live with."

I smiled. "Well then, don't complain when Dolphus snogs me, you know he likes to," I said looking at my husband. He is still my husband, I must add… I haven't signed anything yet…

He shuddered. "Is he even a good kisser, Bellatrix?" he asked after a moment of silent contemplation.

"Yep, obviously, I wouldn't snog him otherwise," I said giggling. I rested my chin on his shoulder. He moved his hands to the back of my neck, and kissed my hair. We were slowly swaying in time to the music, people dancing around us.

He is so romantic. Even in front of everyone he is really nice.

Rodolphus came over to us and started talking to Voldemort, who was laughing a lot at what was being said. I was still leaning against Voldemort, I couldn't see anything around me. Voldemort was gently stroking my hair while laughing.

Oh my god, and then Shelly came over. I chose that moment to wake up and remove my head from Voldemort's shoulder. Just as Shell curtseyed on the introductions.

Voldemort, however, smiled at her. "I've heart a lot about you, Shell," he said. And I cannot believe the next part.

He winked at her.

I slid my arm through his pretending I hadn't seen though Rodolphus knew I had. He was smiling though so he obviously didn't care.

"Have you seen my sister, Rodolphus?" I asked him to cut anything between Shell and my fiancée (I hope he reads this…).

He shook his head. "No, but didn't I hear Malfoy saying she'd be here later?"

I shrugged. "What does Malfoy ever know." Voldemort laughed. "What, when has he ever said anything that is true?" I said indignantly. Rodolphus and Shell were both smiling madly.

Voldemort considered. "My beauty, he has done several times when he is alone with me."

I eyed him carefully but chose not to comment. He put an arm around me, slightly lower down then my back. I was worried that the people behind us would notice where he had his hand, then I decided it didn't matter.

Since we're getting MARRIED.

I don't think I'm ever going to drop this.

Some random Death Eater came over. He's actually really hot, I was quite literally staring at him. He looked at me, and smiled.

"My Lord," hot guy said, "you are needed." Voldemort beckoned for Rodolphus to go with him, leaving me with Shelly.

Ugh.

I'll stick to Shell from now on…

I smiled at her slightly. She looked slightly nervous.

Which means she's afraid of me.

Which means… I've got the power!

"So, what ring is he getting you?" I asked her nicely.

"I asked for a sapphire, I just love those. What do you want?" she replied softly.

I smiled. "A gold band with a tiny ruby, diamond and black stone. It's going to be gorgeous." Shell nodded. "So, ever considered about becoming a Death Eater?"

Shell shook her head. "It's not the kind of thing I'd like to be, I prefer to stay at home and look after Dolphus." She looked at me.

"I don't think I'd have been able to marry him if you didn't have the Dark Lord."

"I doubt Rodolphus would have asked you. He's a darling like that," I said watching Voldemort over her shoulder. He was sitting at the head of the table, and they didn't appear to be talking about anything much that would be important. I walked over to them, and put my arms around Voldemort's neck from behind. He pretended I wasn't there and continued to talk.

Then I ruffled up his hair a bit, and kissed the top of his head. He was slowly getting mad, I could tell. He turned around and looked at me, with his eyes narrowed. I smiled innocently.

"What do you want, Trixy?" he said softly.

I smiled even more innocently, if that's possible.

"I just want to be near you, my darling," I replied.

"And you're ruining my reputation," he said reproachfully, and then winked. "Come and sit down." I walked around his chair and sat next to him, at the head of the table.

Finally, the most important place…

He was holding my hand on the arm of his chair, which was nice.

It didn't last long because Narcissa arrived.

Though actually, I'd been dying to tell someone.

I politely excused myself from the table, curtseying to Voldemort who was trying not to laugh. It annoys me when he does that, I don't have to since I'm MARRYING him.

I went over to Narcissa, who looked very nice in a deep pink dress, and hugged her.

"You won't believe what just happened," I whispered in her ear, then pulled back.

"What?" she asked. "Nice to see you as well Bella."

I rolled my eyes. "I'm getting divorced from Dolphus and I'm marrying… Oh, just guess who!"

She rolled her eyes back. "Have my husband if you want," she said as he swooped over to greet her. He flashed her a grin, and kissed her gently on the lips, and walked off again.

It's gross to see Lucius in love.

If that's what you call it.

"Okay," she sighed. "I give up, who?"

At that moment Voldemort came over to me. "Trix, I'm going outside for a moment, I'll be back." He kissed me on the lips, and walked away.

Narcissa freaked and jumped back from me, watching Voldemort walk away.

"Was that the Dark Lord? You're marrying the Dark Lord?" I silently nodded.

God, I should have called Lucius over in case she passed out.

"He's gorgeous Bella, I didn't think you'd be able to do better the Rodolphus!" She was practically skipping.

I shrugged. "Well, I did, and I'm very important now so you have to be nice."

She laughed for a moment, then said, "Can I dance with him?"

I looked at her, then sighed. "If you must. But I warn you, any ass feeling and I will kill you."

Narcissa laughed as Voldemort came back in. He casually put his arm around my neck, and kissed my hair. He flicked a look at Narcissa and smiled. "Why hello Narcissa, I haven't seen you in a while."

Narcissa curtseyed to him. "It is a pleasure to see you again my Lord," she said keeping her eyes fixed on him. It's a wonder she wasn't drooling.

"We were just talking about you," I said.

He looked back to me with a grin. "Saying only nice things, I hope," he said, his arm around me tightening.

I smiled. "As ever," I said, looking at Narcissa.

"Bellatrix," he said. I looked up at him, and he kissed me very passionately on the lips. Narcissa was watching with one eyebrow raised. "I just got an owl, the next meeting is next month. I'll reply in the morning, and tell them I'm marrying you, you should get an invite." He stepped behind me, and held my hands at the side of me. "I'm going to make Rodolphus second when we're married," he said in my ear. Narcissa was looking pointedly at me, so I turned around.

"I'm going to ask Malfoy to dance, so Narcissa is all yours," I said, and gave him a little kiss on the lips and walked over to Lucius… I mean Malfoy, of course.. who was sitting with a very large group of people I wouldn't have gone near because they are rather.. large men, and they are scary. But hey, I'm the Dark Lady, and they should all fear me.

They will fear me.

I'm a scary person.

And stop coughing, you freak, it's true.

Luci- MALFOY- is such a gentleman when he's not around the Dark Lord, I almost like him, even if that is blaspheming my beliefs as a normal L. Malfoy hater. He stood up when I walked over to them, and he asked me if I wanted to dance.

Which is what I was going to do, but oh well.

He was very careful not to touch me until we got to the dance floor, I did notice. He put one hand very gently on my waist when I had put my hand on his shoulder, which is completely not what Voldemort would have done, but that might be because… Well, I'm engaged to Voldemort and I'm more important then Malfoy is.

Narcissa was happily dancing with Voldemort who was laughing. They were both laughing. No doubt laughing about me…

Suspicious…

She didn't have her hands anywhere suspicious, though. I would have Avada kedavra'ed her on the spot if she had.

Voldemort, however, was being very bad. His hands were on her bottom. I will forgive him in a million years because he is getting drunk. Quickly. I decided to pretend he wasn't and I looked at Malfoy with a smile, which he returned.

"You must be struggling to believe you're marrying the Dark Lord, Bellatrix," he said softly. God his hair looked hot…

Oh my god. I NEED TO WASH MY MOUTH OUT. FINGERS. WHATEVER.

I think I am going to hyperventilate…

"I suppose I am, it was quite a shock. We haven't been lovers for that long, but we both have strong feelings." I smiled again.

"You concealed that fact well, Miss Black," Lucius said with a hint of shocked-ness in his voice. What's the word for that… Whatever I'm to excited.

"We had to, otherwise there would have been to many rumours about us. As well as Death threats." I smirked at him, and he laughed.

"More then you normally get?" He smirked. "Well, I can say that is possibly one thing you beat me in." He was teasing.

"Of course, apart from any duel or the fact I'm the Dark Lady, yes, you beat me hands down in anything." Two can play that game MALFOY. He smiled.

"You're so different to your sister, she just agrees with me."

I hate him. Now I remember why I hate him.

"I expect she's afraid to upset you, Malfoy," I replied sweetly. He spun me very roughly and pulled me into him, still with a fixed smile on his face.

"I have never laid a finger on my wife, and I intend never too," he said quite loudly. "She is my equal in everyway, for your information." I laughed.

"So how about your son? I don't notice you treating him as your equal that often," I said breathing loudly. It's exhausting dancing with Lucius when he gets shirty like this.

"He is my son and I will treat him as I will if he deserves it!" he snapped getting really mad.

I was internally cheerleading this match.

"So why not your wife?"

He had gone really white with anger, and stomped off outside. Narcissa was still giggling with Voldemort and hadn't noticed a thing. I was glad he'd decided to remove his hands. I walked around the tables, saying hello to various people that I know.

Half an hour later Narcissa and Voldemort were still dancing.

And I decided to go over there, but then they stopped dancing, when Malfoy went back in. And he was in a mega hump, though Narcissa was giggling to much to notice. She was a bit tipsy.

She draped her arms madly around Lucius's neck, and started saying, "We'll be related to the Dark Lord soon," really crazily and Lucius was turning redder and redder by the minute because he didn't like the fact Narcissa was blatantly flirting with his enemies' finance and he didn't like it.

I turned around and put my arms around Voldemort who grinned at me and kissed me. I could taste rum on his lips and in his mouth, so we all know what he'd been drinking…

Just as we pulled back from each other I heard a very sharp slap and a squeal of pain from Narcissa. Voldemort raised an eyebrow over my shoulder. I winked at him, but didn't turn around.

"I didn't think you were ever going to lay a finger on Narcissa, Lucius," I said snidely, then turned around. Narcissa was standing with her back to everyone, her hand on her face where she'd just been hit, and Lucius was breathing heavily his hand still raised as if he was going to hit again.

I walked over to Narcissa, and I was conscious of my heals clicking on the floor as I did, possibly because the room had gone a lot quieter, though not everyone had noticed what had happened. No one had turned around to stare, thank god. As I did so, Lucius turned and walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

I love annoying him to the extreme.

Narcissa was completely shocked so I sat her down and got her something strong to drink. Or more, Voldemort did, so we don't know what it was. She livened up after a while of being pathetic, and went off to dance with Rodolphus. But she still didn't look completely happy.

Still. One must make some sacrifices in order to upset their enemies. It's just the way it goes.

The rest of the evening, which was quite blurry since the rum was in large supply, went quickly. Possibly because I was dancing all night with my fiancé.

He was completely out of it, I think. I vaguely remember him lifting me up and carrying me to our rooms, when most people had left. Actually, it was funny, me, Voldemort, Nars, Dolphus and Shelly-darling were sitting around a table drinking, and when everyone was leaving they came over to tell us. Everyone except for the five of us had gone, so me and Voldemort went into the middle of the dance floor for a slow dance and a little kissing fest. And there is really nothing wrong with that.

Or his kissing..

After a while of kissing, I rested my head on his shoulder, and he kissed my hair gently. "I think it's your bedtime," he said quietly, for a drunk person..

And then he lifted me into his arms like I was a little baby, and carried me upstairs, only stopping for me to say goodbye to everyone.

I think that was at about half five in the morning. I'm not sure, neither is anyone else.

Either way I woke up at about half one this morning, to a really big mug of coffee, some toast, a red rose, and a box, containing a ring.

And it was just as I've ever dreamed about, having a wedding ring like that. It was totally gorgeous, a thin gold band with a ruby, a diamond and a black stone, all right next to each other. It wasn't a small ring either, it was big, but in a tasteful way.

He must have done one of his Dark Lord tricks on me to make me like it…

He came back in from the bathroom, wearing a TOWEL, and it was a small towel as well, around his waist. How did he become that hot? His hair was dripping, in long strands falling over his face which was deadly serious in thought, droplets dripping down his back, his eyelashes were all clumped together with water making his eyes seem really dark like he was wearing eyeliner, and his body was still damp. He saw that I was awake, smiled, put one hand on the side furthest from him, and kissed me on the cheek.

"Afternoon beautiful," he said holding his towel behind him with one hand. I was really very speechless so I just smiled. He sat down next to me, with his towel quite literally only just covering him. He picked my ring up out of it's box, and slid it onto my fourth finger on my left hand, watching it. He then lifted my hand to his lips, and kissed my ring. "It was the first one I saw, but I knew you'd love it," he said softly. I pushed the tray off my lap, and crawled out of the covers over to him, and I kissed him on the lips.

"I could not think of anything better, love," I replied putting my arms around him. It took me a moment to register I was somehow wearing only my underwear, but he smiled guiltily which told me he'd done it. I raised an eyebrow at it.

"We were too drunk last night, you fell asleep as soon as you touched the pillow."

We all know what that means.

I nodded, and laid back, not before grabbing the towel from around his waist and throwing it across the room, back into the bathroom. But then I thought, no, this is making it easy for him, so I took his wand from the dressing table, along with my own, and ran towards the bathroom, locking the door when I got there. He thumped into the door. I quickly took off my clothes and jumped into the shower, and it was lovely and warm because he's just been in it, soaking my hair and making sure any make up from last night was completely removed. He was calling my name helplessly, it was rather adorable.

By the time he got in, using wandless magic, he looked even hotter because he was all flustered. He mock glared at me, and got in next to me. There was heat coming off of him, it was very strange.

Anyway, the rest is for me to know and you to never find out.

Malfoy's are scum, if it's you reading, Lucius. Because I hate you.

AND YOU USE MUGGLE SHAMPOO.

I asked Narcissa when she was drunk. It's true.
