Thank you for reading the first chapter. Bellatrix tries settling into her new environment with mixed results. Tell me what you think or what you might want to see what happens next!
Bellatrix knew she couldn't last an entire year at this school, she felt like she would go mad by the end of the week...well, madder.
She knew the professors were suspicious of her and the brown nosers. She couldn't just make things up as she went along forever. She sat in her chambers studying for tomorrow, something she dreaded but at least she would be a step ahead of the students.
Ginny 's class was her first one that day. She stayed up too late, she needed coffee, her eyes were more sunken in than usual. Ginny sat at attention with her back straight and hands folded on the table; still something odd about her. She wrote lines on the board for the Griffindor kids to copy. She hardly interacted with any of them. By the end of class she enjoyed the silence as long as she could. She sunk into her chair with a hand to her forehead in frustration.
"Hello, Miss!"
"What?!"
Ginny managed to sneak up on her without making noise once again; who knows how long she was standing there watching her. "Do you need any help?"
Bellatrix 's head was pounding, she had no time for this nonsense. "No! That is quite alright!"
"Are you sure? I could arrange your papers, clean erasers..."
"No, just head on to your next class...," she waved her along. She waited a moment before opening her eyes again. She looked around to make sure she was really alone this time. She reached into her desk and pulled out a flask. "Yes, that's the stuff," she said after chugging some of the liquid courage back. She had a free period but didn't know what to do. She could check in with Voldemort but was advised only to discuss matters with him at night or when an emergency arises connected to the mission.
She thought she could slip outside. She didn't even get ten feet from her door before getting bothered by an actual professor. The instructor for transfiguration, McGonagall left unexpectedly and someone had eagerly insisted she reach the class. It seemed simple enough, it was all on vanishing. "If any of those brats gets out of line I'll make them disappear," she thought.
Entering the classroom she was shocked to see her morning class and judging by the smug face on her it was Ginny who insisted she take over. "Class!" She greeted. The only thing on her mind at that moment was just how much bigger and nicer this room was than her own. "So where is it you left off?" She asked, carelessly flipping through a mess of papers on the desk.
"We were going to learn how to make boobs bigger!," Laughed one of the male students. Ginny glared at him from across the room.
One girl elbowed him and said to Bellatrix, "We were going to learn how to make him vanish and reappear." She pointed to a spotted owl resting on a stand next to the desk; it squawked at Bellatrix and raised its wings.
She sneered at the scared animal and stood up in front of the class next to it. "Right. Maybe if he is lucky I will bring him back. The class laughed, unbeknownst to then that she was being serious. She made everyone practise the word 'Evanesco'
"Ev-an-es-ko!," Bellatrix shouted loudly.
"Eve-an-es-go!" The class clumsily repeated.
"Ev-ans-es-clo!" The class butchered on.
Bellatrix knew she had to be patient. "Ev...an...es...co...," she announciated.
"Ev-an-es-ko!" The class shouted .
"Good! Good!" She said with mild enthusiasm, "Now who wishes to make this fowl beast disappear?"
Not every hand in the room shot up, for some reason Ginny seemed nervous; Bellatrix found this amusing, perhaps she was scared of messing up, maybe she wasn't as quick as the other kids. "Why don't you come up here and show everyone how it's done Miss Weasley!" All eyes were on her, some laughed and teased, Ginny didn't want to look bad in front of her new teacher so she forced a smile and got up from her seat. "Now raise your wand. Steady it now."
Ginny carefully raised her wand, aiming it at the still squawking bird, she said with the flick of her wrist, "Evanesko!" Her wand sparked but the bird remained. The class gasped all nearly at once. Ginny looked over at a now naked Bellatrix/Mandrake. The moment the spell hit her she knew what happened, she covered herself almost immediately. One hand to cover between her legs and an entire arm to shield her breasts from the class; at an E cup they were hard to hide as you can imagine, she was fearful of one popping out from above or beneath her arm. Bellatrix wanted to shriek at Ginny but instead chanted the spell to bring her clothes back, "It's not working! Where did you send my clothes?"
Ginny backed into her desk as if she was about to make a run for it. She looked so scared and confused, "I don't know! I didn't mean for that to happen!"
The class laughed hysterically at the spectacle. Bellatrix had had enough, "THAT'S IT! THAT IS 2000 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!"
Student, Cho Chang voiced her concern, "But that would put Gryffindor at -1950 points!"
"You heard me!" Bellatrix hid behind her desk. "Class dismissed! Except for you, Weasley!"
Everyone teased Ginny on their way out. Ginny bit her bottom lip as she waited for the angry instructor to come out; she had never gotten herself into any serious trouble before, sure she could be mischievous but she couldn't recall a single time she stripped a teacher's clothing. If she went to tell on her she would be in hot water for sure.
Bellatrix emerged now wearing a spare cloak left there, it would do until she went back to her room. "Come here," she demanded.
Ginny walked slowly toward her, "I really don't know what happened, Miss. Nothing like this has ever happened before."
"Well, it won't be happening again!" She slapped her hand down on the table. "Now how much did you see?"
"Huh?"
"Don't be cute with me!"
For the first time, Ginny felt scared, like she was a lot smaller than she was. "I-I didn't see anything..."
"Really? You didn't see my knockers?"
"No, I didn't see your wobblers!"
Bellatrix almost laughed at this word but had to remind herself she needed to be assertive with her little pest. "You best hope no one saw them! How would you like it if I made your clothes disappear and you standing here showing your wobblers?"
"I don't think mine are as big as yours...," Ginny stopped when she saw how stern she looked, "I mean, not too good!"
"Yes, I bet you wouldn't!" She had to think of a punishment but there was only 2 things that came to mind, "Now arrange my papers and clean these erasers!"
Ginny immediately perked up, she got to work on her desk on the spot while Bellatrix went to change. "Bloody weird child!" thought Bellatrix.
In her chambers, Bellatrix found a note from Voldemort tucked in her bed. She was given instructions to find a hidden passageway. He included a map but it looked impossible to decipher given its unusual code and language. She put on some new clothes and went back to check on Ginny. The map would have to wait until everyone else was asleep.
Ginny had finished with the papers and was now clapping erasers, coughing from the thick chalk dust.
"You look ravishing, Miss!" *cough*
"Good job!" She admired her clean desk before pushing the papers onto the floor. "Now do it again!" She cackled.
Ginny pretended to be upset about doing the job but she was really ecstatic about finally helping. She let her giddiness slip while on her hands and knees gathering sheets.
"Is that a smile?" Bellatrix frowned.
Her devious grin vanished faster than her teacher's clothes, "No, Miss! Sorry!" Bellatrix left her for another moment to get some coffee.
More soon! I'll try to make the next few chapters longer.
