Rodolphus ran his fingers threw Narcissa's hair. Tears streamed down his cheeks. "I'm sorry... I'm just scared... we can't keep doing this..." He pulled back some. "We need a better system is all."

Narcissa met his eyes. "A system?" her voice low still.

Rodolphus held Narcissa in his arms close. "Why does it seem like the world is against us, maybe if we just brought it up to our parents..."

Narcissa sighed and nodded. She looked over at the dying fire. Narcissa worried that they would be denied the chance. She also worried that after the family knew they even wanted it they would only watch closer. Narcissa didn't want to voice her worry for another worry. She also worried Rodolphus would say those buring words again. "I think it would be better if we broke up." Narcissa swallowed hard.

Rodolphus kissed her gently. "I'll talk to my dad." He told her.

Narcissa nodded. "Yes, dear." she replied.

Rodolphus smiled. That charming smile that made Narcissa melt. Rodolphus kissed her tenderly. He never loved any woman as much as he loved her.

A throat cleared near-by. "Excuse me." Rang the voice of Rabastan Lestrange.

Rodolphus groaned. "What?" He asked.

Rabastan smirked to himself. "Nothing, dear brother." He laughed to himself. "Nothing at all." Rabastan was Rodolphus's younger brother. He was in his fourth year. His messy dark brown hair fell into his chocolate eyes. Girls fell at his feet for his looks and his bad boy additude.

Narcissa, however, couldn't stand him. She rolled her eyes a little. "What do you want?" She snapped.

"Touchy, touchy." Rabastan's smirk grew.

Rodolphus glared. "Bast," Rodolphus began with a childhood nickname. "You won't tell anyone." Rodolphus's thick eyelashes batted over his chocolate eyes. "Will you?"

"I won't, no... for a price." Rabastan smirked.

Rodolphus scowled. He stuck his nose in the air letting his brown hair fall in his eyes.

Narcissa looked between the Lestrange brothers and smiled some. She knew that Rabastan would keep the secret, he was loyal to his brother. They were just as close as twins and if it weren't for the age difference they could pass as well.

"Name it." Rodolphus sighed.

"I want a kiss." Rabastan said.

Rodolphus looked at his brother in shock and disguist.

"Not from you."

Narcissa blinked.
