I am so sorry it has taken this long! Sooo many things have happened. The main one was that my Beta had a concussion. She is much better now, but trying to finish up school. So this chapter has not seen my Beta. Depending on her the next chapter might not be either, but once she sends me the fixed ones I will repost them :)
Chapter 2
"I want you to go on a raid with Rodolphus LeStrange."
"But my lord, with all due respect, I fair better with Rosier. Could I not do it with him?"
"No Bellatrix!" Voldemort snapped, and Bellatrix lowered her head quickly. "I granted LeStrange's request to lead this raid, and I have assigned you to go with him. Have I chosen wrong when I picked you to be my favorite? Are you not my most loyal follower?" He hissed.
Her eyes widened and she fell to his feet, kissing the hem of his robes.
"Of course I am your most loyal my lord! You have not chosen wrong! I swear to you! I shall do as you have commanded, I will do so with honor and pride! I will go with LeStrange and get the information you desire!"
"I do hope so my dearest Bella, for I would much rather reward you than punish you. You will not fail me." Voldemort said as he stroked her hair.
"No! Of course not my lord!" Bellatrix yelled passionately, still at his feet.
"Good. Leave me." His hand left her head and he kicked her away from his feet. Bellatrix got up quickly and left his office, then went to her chambers to get ready for her raid tonight.
Rodolphus LeStrange. She remembered his name from school. She had only seen him about a handful of times throughout the years, for he had been two years ahead of her. He hadn't been a particularly buff young man, but he was very intelligent and was very skilled with a wand.
Rodolphus was popular in school, one of the bad boy Slytherins. Her parents had thought of marrying her off to him, but once the Dark Lord started to show interest in her, her parents ceased all possible contracts of marriage. But she was quite curious to see what kind of a man Rodolphus LeStrange turned out to be.
She left her room, locking the door behind her, and went down the grand staircase to the meeting room. As it turned out, she was not the first one there. To her surprise there was a man stood over by the fireplace with a glass in his hand.
Bellatrix held her head high and walked over to him, trying to distinguish who the hell it was. He didn't look very familiar, she was sure she hadn't seen his face at the table during one of their meetings. When she got to his side, he turned to look at her.
"My my my. You have grown into a woman Bellatrix." His voice made her shiver. The good kind, that sent sweet chills down her back; and she was positive he saw her shake.
"I don't believe I know you." Bellatrix said after recomposing herself. She took another glance at the tall man with big arms, curly unruly red hair and a slight bit of facial hair. He looked like he could break her in half with one hand. Thrilling.
"It's no shock you don't remember me, I have changed quite a bit, at least that's what people say. Rodolphus LeStrange at your service." He said as he held out his hand. As she placed hers in his, he brought it up to his lips and placed a small kiss on the back of her hand. Another chill ran down her spine.
"Unhand my cousin LeStrange. I don't need you corrupting her." Evan Rosier said as he walked into the room with them.
"With her reputation, I would think she would be the one to corrupt me." Rodolphus said as he slowly lowered her hand, but didn't let go yet. Bellatrix wasn't complaining. Rodolphus had a certain air about him, that seemed to just wrap around her and incase her. She felt like she was being crushed by some invisible force. She liked it.
"She may be insane, but you are sadistic. Not even she could do the things you have. Especially that time in Romania." Evan shivered as he said the last part. Clearly not the kind Bella was getting.
"What happened in Romania?" Bellatrix asked quickly. Rodolphus chuckled slightly at her enthusiasm and curiosity.
"Just had a couple issues with some vampires." He said shrugging his shoulders, finally letting go of Bellatrix's hand.
"And werewolves! Don't forgot them! Demons from hell I tell ya." Even said as he shivered again. Rodolphus simply shrugged again.
"Well shall we get on with it then?" Bellatrix asked after a few moments of silence; both men nodded their approval.
They apparated to the location one of their inside sources had given them. There was a secret meeting being held by about three or four aurors, very important aurors. There had been rumor about an allegiance forming against the Dark Lord, led by none other than Albus Dumbledore himself.
After defeating Grindalwald just a few months ago, Dumbledore thought he was invincible. And many others believed it as well.
The meeting was supposed to confirm whether the rumors were true, or just petty gossip starters. So as they creeped into the building where the aurors had already began speaking amongst themselves, Bellatrix prayed that she got the information that her master needed.
If there really was some sort of army starting to form against the Dark Lord, she was sure he would want to recruit more followers; in the occurrence of an attack on them.
"Dumbledore has given us these rings," a man said as he passed rings to the other men at the table. "they will flash when he is calling a meeting."
The men grabbed their rings and put them on their fingers, looking proud of themselves.
"What are we calling ourselves?" One asked.
"The Order of the Phoenix." The man who had passed out the rings answered.
"We will fight for Dumbledore against this dark wizard, and we will bring back peace to the world. No more innocents will die, not with us around!" A different man proclaimed.
"Aye!" The men said in unison.
Bellatrix, Rodolphus and Evan all slipped out of the old building without being caught. They had gotten the information they needed, and figured if they hadn't been caught here they might use this place again. They could find out more information if needed later on.
The mission was a success and Bellatrix couldn't wait to get back to her master and her reward. She had apparated back first but was not let into his office, Rodolphus had been the only one allowed to go in. Once he came out he turned to Bella and smiled at her, something weird happened in her stomach then. Almost some kind of fluttering; she had never felt it before.
His smile was amazing. Sinful but romantic looking. Ugly but beautiful. Dark but held a certain light to it. She had seen no other like it.
He walked past her and went up the stairs to his rooms. After standing there for a moment she walked over to the door to her master's office and knocked. It opened automatically, and she took that as an invitation in. Voldemort was sitting on his sofa near the fire, reading a book. She stepped into the room, over to where he was sitting and kneeled by his legs.
"You have pleased me my Bella." Voldemort said quietly. She laid her head down on his lap and he began to stroke her raven curls.
"Shall I reward you then?" He asked, his voice just as quiet as before.
"Oh yes please master." Bellatrix moaned. He bent down so that he could whisper in her ear.
"My chambers. Nothing but your heels."
Bellatrix jumped up immediately and ran to the door, out of his office, up the stairs, through the mansion until she reached his rooms. She opened the door with ease, the wards having been bent for her for sometime now.
She quickly stripped her body of every article of clothing, but left her black knee high boots on. She saw the rope and flogger on the giant green silk covered bed in front of her. And she couldn't contain her moan as images of what the night will contain flashed before her eyes.
Review please! I want to know what you all think so far! :)
