A Forbidden Love

Chapter two

Rodolphus lay on his bed in the boy's seventh year dorm. He stared up at the ceiling, thinking. Why had he kissed her? He wasn't exactly sure, she wanted him to kiss her, she kissed him back. Did he care for Narcissa?

He loved Bellatrix- or did he. Rodolphus wasn't sure of anything right now. He sighed. He wondered if she had thought about that kiss too. If it had even meant anything to her. His mind was far from settled. He pulled a pillow over his head. He couldn't get the thoughts out of his head.

Rodolphus heard giggling from a girl and someone fall on a bed near by.

He pulled the pillow off his head and saw a couple laying on Lucius's bed. Rodolphus groaned.

The girl shot up hearing someone else in the room.

"Rodolphus- what the hell are you doing in here!" Lucius demanded.

"I was resting before you two came in snogging each other's faces off." Rodolphus said annoyed.

The girl blushed a bright shade of pink and stood up. "Lucius I'll be back later..." The girl said scurrying off.

Lucius glared at Rodolphus. "Couldn't you have stayed quiet and left? I was going to get lucky on the first day!" Lucius yelled.

Rodolphus rolled his eyes. "Sorry" he said sarcastically.

Lucius got up off his bed. "I need to go find her now." Lucius said annoyed he walked away.

Rodolphus pulled his pillow over his head again. He was trying to loose his thoughts. He couldn't bring himself to do it though, a soft hand touched his hands that were holding the pillow onto his head. The pillow was pulled off of his head. Blonde hair fell beside his face. Narcissa Black sat their. "I need to talk to you." She said quietly.

Rodolphus sat up. "Alright." he said.

"About... earlier." Narcissa said. "That kiss." She added.

Rodolphus looked at her trying to read what she felt about it.

"What-... did it mean anything to you?" Narcissa asked.

Rodolphus had trouble believing his own ears, he had just been wondering if it meant anything to her. "I..." Rodolphus wasn't even sure. "I don't know... I was wondering if it meant anything to you..." Rodolphus admitted.

Narcissa blushed. "I... I mean its just... I was worked up about Lucius... and you about Bellatrix..." Narcissa said.

"Can we be sure thats even why it happened?" Rodolphus asked.

Narcissa shook her head. "Rodolphus, what are we going to do?" She cried. "I love my sister and your getting married to her... but I think I might..." Narcissa stopped talking.

Rodolphus looked at her.

"Forget it." Narcissa said. "I should go, I have homework." Narcissa said.

Rodolphus held her arm in place. "What were you saying? Rodolphus asked her staring into her eyes.

Narcissa quickly broke eye contact. "Its nothing." Narcissa said.

Rodolphus placed two fingers under her chin and pulled her head up so her eyes met his. "Look me in the eyes and tell me it was nothing." Rodolphus told her.

Narcissa sighed. "It wasn't nothing- but it doesn't matter." She said.

Rodolphus didn't move his hand from her arm or his eyes from hers. "Narcissa, you can talk to me." Rodolphus told her.

"I think I might love you." She said.

Rodolphus blinked for a minute.

"I knew I shouldn't have said anything." Narcissa said. "I mean, its probably nothing. We were both upset- case closed."

"The case isn't closed." Rodolphus said. "Espeacily when the two people who have commited the crime aren't believing it was just nothing."

Narcissa smiled. "What are you saying?" She asked.

"Neither of us are convienced it was nothing." Rodolphus told her.

Narcissa nodded.

Rodolphus kissed Narcissa. "What did you feel?" he asked her. His forehead rested on hers looking into her eyes.

Narcissa smiled. "Well, it wasn't nothing." She said.

Rodolphus let out a small laugh.

Narcissa smiled. She pulled back suddenly.

"Whats wrong?" Rodolphus asked.

"We can't do this..." Narcissa whispered. Narcissa stood up.

Rodolphus stood beside her. "Narcissa, I care about Bellatrix... but I never felt what I just felt here... with her." Rodolphus told her.

Narcissa bit her lip.

Rodolphus wrapped his arms around her waist. "I never felt so content just holding someone in my arms." He told her. "Just knowing you are here, safe with me... I never felt that way with Bellatrix- oh that sounds like I would like her in harms way, I wouldn't I assure you." Rodolphus sighed. "Its too hard to explain." Rodolphus told her.

Narcissa nodded. "I know." She said.

"You know?" Rodolphus asked.

"I feel like while your holding me, the world could come to an end... and I would survive." Narcissa told him. She placed her head on his chest.

"Its just our parents-" Narcissa began.

Rodolphus stepped infront of her so he could look in her ocean blue eyes. He caressed her face. "We don't have to tell them." He told her.

"Lucius and Bellatrix-" Narcissa began.

"Do you love me?" Rodolphus asked.

"If what I'm feeling is love, that I never want you to leave me, then yes. I am very much in love with you." Narcissa told him.

"And I feel the same way to you... this must be love. I don't want to let you out of my sight." Rodolphus said.

Narcissa smiled.
