At noon, the lunch was as quiet as usual.

No one was talking.

Bellatrix and Alexandria were constantly thinking about the incident of the morning, Regulus was thinking about the rejection of the girl yesterday while all the others were calmly eating their lunch.
The two girls were apathetic and indifferent. Alexandria was afraid to approach the girl.
After all, the mistake was partly hers. She didn't even kiss her back, which probably made the girl next to her unhappy. She didn't do it on purpose.
She was caught out of guard. It was their last meal together in the Manor of. They would turn back to Hogwarts. Bellatrix hoped the girl would not talk about the incident with anyone.

In the afternoon, they wereing pack their things for the Hogwarts. Sirius and Regulus's rooms ware placed on the second floor while the guest rooms were on the third floor of the manor. Alexandria's room was located next to Bellatrix's, like in Hogwarts while Narcissa's was further away. Alexandria, after the meal had gone to help Sirius to pack his suitcase since the boy was having a hard time organizing them.

"Oh Merlin" the boy sighed, seeing his suitcase full and almost untidy.
"Dear Alexandria, I need your help," the boy said mincingly. Alexandria emerged since it wasn't the first time she would make his suitcase
"have to do mine too"
"Come now....Please " said Sirius with a puppy look.
"Oh shut up....I will help you, you useless gay" The boy was happy with the new one and got up from his bed. Alexandria generally liked to organize things. That is why she was an excellent leader of the Gryffindors. "My brother doesn't tell me how your little date went yesterday..." told Sirius as Alexandria was making the boy's suitcase.
"What do you mean?"Alexandria asked, folding Sirius' sweatshirts.
"I do not know.... I heard about a kiss from someone else" said almost whispering the word "kiss" "Someone else ?" the girl questioned. "Narcissa.... don't think that Bellatrix would talk to me ....she hates "Fags" like me" said the boy rolling his eyes
Alexandria was thinking about Bellatrix initiating their first kiss
"But, you didn't tell me how it was?" Sirios asked with a light smile
"Regulus isn't my taste" answered Alexandria and ended with the young man's clothes. "And what's your type?" he asked almost trembling
"Your cousin" though herself
"I don't know" answered to Sirius' question.
"Is he a bad kisser?" Sirius asked again. Alexandria knew that Regulus' kiss was nothing compared to the Bellatrix's
"I do not know" Alexandria answered sharply, placing the last clothes in the suitcase.
"Is there something you know?" asked the boy jokingly.
"That you are indeed a useless gay"
"That's a hate crime" said Siri's pretending to be offended
"Here you go. I'm done" said Alexandria and said goodbye to the boy.

When she returned from the room, she heard a door open. It was from Bellatrix's room. She saw the girl standing on her doorstep with a serious look.
"Good evening Bellatrix"
LWhere did Black go"
"I thought ..." Before finishing her sentence Bellatrix interrupted her abruptly.
"What were you thinking?" she asked sharply. Alexandria swallowed hard. "After today ...."
"Nothing happened today"
"But ..."
"I do not know what you have in your twisted mind but today-nothing-happened. End-of-story" she said emphatically to the girl while looking at her intensely.
"I just find it silly to hold that hatred...."
"I still hate you"
Alexandria's breath was cut at one point while Bellatrix continued to look angrily at the girl.
"Did you talk to anyone?"asked Bellatrix
"No"
"Don't you ever dare"
"I would never, ever betray you. Your secret is safe" the girl told her in an almost trembling voice. Bellatrix nodded and returned to her room.
"I'm glad we made that clear, Nott" she said shortly before closing the door in Alexandria's face.

On the other hand, Alexandria didn't expect this behavior from Bellatrix. She thought it was worth it. Essentially, she didn't kiss her back and it was normal for Bellatrix to feel ashamed.
"If I had reacted differently"she kept thinking. Maybe Bellatrix wasn't so abrupt in the final and maybe their relationship had developed. Now,they were enemies again.
After all, they have always been enemies. Alexandria took a cold shower to calm down. But more thoughts flooded her.Their kiss scene played in her mind again and again.
"It felt so good" was thinking to herself. She wondered whether Bellatrix herself felt it so.

Or was it the impulse of the moment.

Maybe she read the diary and was
affected.

Or rather she wanted to make fun of the girl.

All these thoughts were ripping in her mind.
"Shit! The shower don't help" she murmured and came out of the bathroom.
