Here we go, chapter 6 =D I was inspired by an incident last week XD I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it :3 and a BIG BIG thanks to anyone reading!
It was a cold morning as Heli and Lok stepped onto platform nine and three quarters with Narcissa, a small amount of luggage in tow. It had been a about a week since what was now known as 'the incident at the party' took place.
Heli placed her new feline friend on the ground as she silently hugged her aunt goodbye. It was a small black cat with bright yellow eyes, she had found it one day while walking in the gardens of the manor and decided to take it in. It purred quietly as it circled her ankles lovingly.
"C'mon Lok lets get on the train before all the good seats are taken in the Slytherin carriage" Heli droned as she scooped the cat back up into her arms and walked off.
"Look after your sister Lokius" Narcissa said worryingly to the boy, who nodded compliantly before smiling and walking briskly after Helia. "Sometimes I think that boy's totally clueless" Narcissa whispered to herself.
When on the train the twins sat with Alixa and Falk, the latter of whom was consuming a strange ink coloured liquid. Alix proceeded to quiz the twins on all manner of things, Heli decided to gaze out of the window instead of paying attention.
After a long and rather awkward train ride back to Hogwarts, the group finally arrived back into the sanctuary of the Slytherin common room. All the other students had retreated to their dormitories.
"It's greeeat to finally be back," Lok said as he stretched, yawning as he lay across one of the leather sofas. Heli sat on the one opposite him, pulled out her wand, and transfigured a piece of paper into an ashtray.
"I've been dying for a cigarette since I left the manor, anyone else want one?" she questioned pulling out the ornate cigarette case.
"Sure I'm game sis" Lok replied, smiling sweetly.
"Me too!" Alix beamed; obviously, she was still mentally celebrating her engagement to Lokius.
Falk simply nodded, still consuming the strange ink-like substance.
"Hey Falk I've been meaning to ask you, what's that you're drinking?" Lok questioned with a mischievous grin as he lit his cigarette.
"Oh, t-thiss?" the ginger brute held the bottle towards the group, "thisss is some m-muggle drink, got it as a present, my da' saysss I-it's called Absssinthe" He swayed slightly as he sat down next to Heli, who mouthed 'help me' to Alix who briskly sat in between them.
"Pass it here," Heli said. The brute complied almost falling off the sofa in the process.
The blonde unscrewed the lid of the thin glass bottle and sniffed the strange liquid, it smelt like aniseed. She pressed the cold bottle to her lips and took a sip; it felt like her throat was on fire as she swallowed the black liquid, she felt a little light headed already.
"This stuff's great!" she proclaimed, taking another swig then going to light her cigarette and taking a drag of the warm smoke.
The bottle was passed from person to person until they were all feeling a little tipsy, except Falk, he was well and truly drunk. The dimly lit common room was now filled with dull grey smoke.
Lokius yawned again.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm absolutely knackered. I'll see you all in the morning" he said, sweeping his dark hair from his face as he stood up walking towards his dormitory where his cosy bed was waiting for him. Falk sauntered along behind him still clutching the now empty bottle that once contained absinthe.
"They've got a point Heli, I'm exhausted" Alix muttered, she leaned over and hugged the blonde girl before standing up and walking to their dormitory, "don't stay up too late, wouldn't want to sleep in" she added as she disappeared from Heli's view.
"I'll be along in a bit" Heli replied.
The small black cat Heli had found at the manor jumped up onto the sofa next to Helia, she patted her knee and the cat climbed onto her.
"I fancy a walk" she whispered, the cat looked up at her like it knew what she was saying, "you want to go for a walk too do you?" the cat responded by purring loudly and rubbing the side of it's face on her hand. "Alright then, lets go" Heli smiled, picking up the cat and placing it on the floor as she stood up.
She walked briskly out of the common room, the cat following swiftly behind her down the dark corridors. she still felt a little light headed from the strange muggle drink Falk had supplied their group with.
Heli had wandered without direction for close to half an hour before she found herself before the mirror once again, she slowly approached it keeping her eyes glued to the floor.
She sat cross legged a few feet in front of the mirror, the black cat joined her, sitting on her knee.
Stroking the cat's soft warm fur Heli looked into the mirror and smiled, once again she saw the face of Bellatrix.
Pushing the cat off her lap gently she reached towards the mirror stroking the cold surface where the death eater appeared.
"I miss you so much Bella… Why didn't you come back to me like you promised?" the image of the dark haired woman smiled playfully at her.
Heli looked around for the small cat she was only moments earlier stroking, once again she was all alone, her expression became that of longing as she returned her gaze to the mirror. The image of the death eater continued to grin at her, walking closer to Heli's reflection and snaking an arm around her waist but it was different this time, the young girl could feel the strong slender arm around her and warm breath on her neck.
"Told ya I'd be back sweetie" Bellatrix whispered in the young girls ear as she winked at her reflection and squeezed Heli tightly.
"B-Bellatrix!" Heli squealed with glee as she spun around hugging the older woman tightly, "but how did you escape?"
"Isn't it obvious darling?" Bellatrix smiled sweetly.
"As long as you're back, and you'll never leave me again I don't really care… you won't leave, right?" Heli said franticly as she stared into Bellatrix's dark eyes.
"I'm not going anywhere dear, you're what I live for now. I realised the battle was hopeless and disguised myself as a cat then I found you again… Helia Vinter, I promise, I will never leave you ever again" Bellatrix smiled at the pale blonde girl, who smiled back.
"Wait, how long have you been following me exactly?" Heli questioned.
"Long enough to know that you got fucked by 'Dromeda at the party" Bellatrix chuckled, "I swear she'll do anyone that looks remotely like Cissy when she's drunk, I know why you let her though"
Bellatrix gave Heli a knowing look, the distance between their faces becoming less and less, Heli closed her ice blue eyes and gave into the death eater.
Their lips met, and in that moment Heli felt complete.
So there we go, a little sweeter than I first planned, but the story just writes itself XD
