A/N: This is a bit short but I hope you like it!

Bellatrix waved to Rodulphus at in the common room decorated with green banners and snakes. Her black hair pulled back in a ponytail but a few curls had been left to frame her face. Her pale cheeks tinted a rosy pink as she sat next to the older boy, "Hi Rodu."

"Trixie," he smiled as she leaned into him, "Good sleep? It's your first day at Hogwarts!"

Bellatrix smiled shyly, "Of course Rodu, I need my sleep to put up with you!"

"Aw," Rodulphus grinned, "Little Bella can't put up to big bad Rodu without her beauty sleep."

Bellatrix blushed and gently shoved him off the squishy couch, he landed laughing when Lucius walked in, "Ahem, Rodulphus."

Bellatrix glared at the older boy a bit of disgust flared up inside her, "Hello, Lucius."

"Bella," he answered, "I see you enjoy pushing Rodulphus around."

Bellatrix growled and jumped to her feet, "Say that again and you'll regret it!"

She glared at Lucius her warm eyes becoming frozen in anger, her lips curled into a sneer, "To afraid?"

Lucius whipped out his black elm wand, "Diffindo!"

"Protego," Bellatrix waved her crooked wand and the shield absorbed the hastily conjured spell, "What were you trying to do? Weakling, c'mon Rodu, we have classes to start."

Bellatrix turned her back to Lucius and her scarlet lips formed a cat-like smile, "Come on slow-poke!"

Rodulphus grinned as he leaped to his feet and followed her, his bag slung over his shoulder leaving Lucius fuming and plotting revenge. Bellatrix grinned when he turned the corner and moved to kiss him. His kiss was warm and kind and she whispered, "Love you, bye."

With that, Bellatrix turned and strode towards Charms her Hogwarts robes billowing around her giving her a mesmerizing look of a girl made of smoke.

Professor Gemini nodded to Bellatrix as the girl easily turned the animal into a cup with a quick swish of her wand, "Ah, Miss Black. 5 points for Slytherin."

"Thank you Professor Gemini," Bellatrix smiled as the professor dismissed the Transfiguration class.

The Great Hall was filled with the chatter of the students as they enjoyed their dinner, Bellatrix was worried though. Lucius was nowhere to be seen.

"Have you seen Lucius?" she breathed to Rodulphus who shook his head and drew his arm tighter around her waist, "Probably sulking somewhere."

Bellatrix relaxed into his grip and leaned her head onto his shoulder, "We're winning Quidditch and the House Cup so far, thanks to you."

The Chaser grinned, "Next year we'll be unstoppable if you become Seeker! You're built for it!"

"Mother will never let me," Bellatrix sighed, "So unladylike to her, I wish I could though. Zooming through the air on a Star Chaser 2000 sounds beautiful but so unreachable for me."

"You'll persuade her!" Rodulphus kissed her forehead and smiled, "Look, Lucius."

Lucius glared at her as he raised his wand, "Evanesco!"

Bellatrix deflected the attack and fell back, "What are you doing?!"

"Incarcerous!" Lucius bellowed, invisible ropes instantly wrapped around Bellatrix knocking her to the ground, "Obscero! Expelliarmus!"

Bellatrix felt the ropes tighten as the blindfold appeared around her eyes, there was screaming and yelling as she fought to breathe against the tightening ropes. Her wand had flown out of her hand leaving her powerless to Lucius. She couldn't breathe or feel anything as the ropes tightened then they were gone.

Rodulphus's fuzzy image hovered before her as she gasped for breath and black out.

"Bella!" someone shouted. Bellatrix slowly opened her eyes and shut them again, the light was blinding her. A hand gently ran through her hair as she coughed her arms and legs tingling with pain.

"Rodulphus?" she asked weakly once her eyes were open, she was in the Infirmary still dressed in her robes and dress.

"Right here Bell," he whispered, "Half a day; Lucius is getting suspended for a month."

Bellatrix tried to push herself up but the dizziness stopped her, she let out a groan as she fell back into bed, "I don't want to lay here all day!"

"You won't, only until that dizziness goes away," Rodulphus smiled, "So strong Bella, never shows weakness do you?"

Bellatrix smiled up happily at Rodulphus the pain melting away from her limbs, "Were you here the whole time?"

"You bet my star," Rodulphus grinned; Bellatrix reached up and cupped his cheek. Another nickname for her was always welcomed; the Black family was named after stars anyway.

"Thank you," she whispered before turning to the bedside table to see cards and sweets piled up, "That many?"

"You have some admirers," Rodulphus picked up a box of chocolate frogs, "How about one?"

"Sure, you first though," Bellatrix sat up partially so the dizziness didn't come and picked up a box.
