Chapter 3-Slytherin, Slughorn and Sorting
Bella made her way carefully through the train looking for an empty compartment, of course there were none, one was almost empty. There were a girl and boy in there. Both were blonde and they looked very alike.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" she asked politely pointing to an empty seat.
"Not at all." They girl smiled, the boy got up to help her put her trunk up. "I'm Alecto Carrow and this is my brother Amycus."
"I'm Bellatrix Black." She smiled as she shook Alecto's hand. She sat down and stared out the window as Alecto pulled out a packet of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. A boy with raven hair and dark brown eyes knocked on the door, standing behind him was another boy who could only be his brother; but he was older.
"Hi, I'm Rabastian Lestrange and zis is my brozer." He said with a very strong French accent.
"Bonjour, je m'appelle Rodolphus. [Hello, my name is Rodolphus]" His dark eyes locked with Bella's as he smiled at her.
"Bonjour, je m'appelle Bellatrix. Ca va? [Hello, my name is Bellatrix. How are you?]" She spoke, just about fluently. It was really the only subject she excelled in.
"Très bien, ma chérée. Ma Belle. [Very good, my dear. My beautiful.]" Rodolphus took her hand and kissed it as he sat down next to her. She smiled cutely at him.
"Rodolphus, would you stop being all romantic. You can speak English, why don't you?" Rabastian asked.
"Because, brother. When I have uncontrollable feelings, I am more comfortable speaking in my native tongue." Rodolphus said, first looking at Bella then moving his gaze to Rabastian. Bella blushed prettily, the red in her cheeks made her look even prettier. Rabastian just rolled his eyes as Rodolphus and Bella started conversing in French again, she didn't mind. Eventually they had to change into their robes, Alecto and Bellatrix left while the boys changed and then they swapped.
When they all came back Alecto was flirting furiously with Rabastian, Amycus had left with two other boys, Antoinin Dolohov and Augustus Rookwood meanwhile Bella and Rodolphus were comfortably cuddling on one side of the room.
"We are approaching Hogsmeade station please gather your possessions." A few voices called as the prefects moved up and down the carriages. Bellatrix rose to her feet and started struggling to get her trunk down from the overhead compartment; two strong hands blocked her vision as they reached up and pulled her trunk and cat cage down from the rack.
"Merci." She said quietly smiling as he handed them to her then turned to get his own trunk.

"Black, Bellatrix" Professor McGonagall called out; Bella gulped but strode proudly towards the stool and sorting hat.
A Black, I see
Yes sir, I would like to be placed in Slytherin please
But you're not the one who chooses where you go
I know however I am a Black as you said before and everyone of us has been in Slytherin and I am basically no different to them, except maybe I am better
Well, you are cunning and confident and of pure blood, better be SLYTHERIN!
Bella smiled as she hopped off the stool; of course she was in Slytherin it was stupid to think otherwise. She sat down next to Rodolphus as he was in Slytherin as well. She watched as all the people she had met on the train went to her house.
The food was delicious and she ate all of her favourites including tea cake and lemon meringue pie.

When they arrived in the Slytherin common room they were greeted by a really fat man that greatly resembled a walrus.
"Hello my Slytherins! I am Professor Slughorn, as most of you should know and I am also your head of house. Again most of you should know this. Now, I have a few invitations for some first years, Bellatrix Black and Rabastian Lestrange." He smiled as he gave each of them a small scroll. Everyone proceeded to the dorms for a good nights rest.
