Belinda woke up sore and rubbed her thighs.

"Here."

Severus walked over with a small jar in his hands. He took some of the substance and rubbed it on her legs, and hips. She felt instant relief and sighed. She watched as he carefully examined her naked body.

"I'm sorry. We won't go that far again." He said after rubbing more on the love bites he left her.

"No. We'll go farther." She smirked.

"The train leaves in an hour. You should get going."

After getting dressed, he gave her a kiss and she left.

"Hey where were you? We were worried."

"Library."

Astoria raised an eyebrow and then handed over her bag.

"So was Snape still upset?"

"What?"

"Did you not go back to check your reports?"

"Oh I did. Nothing was missing he let me go after."

"Hmm. Okay let's go then."

On the train, Belinda sat with Crabbe and Goyle, picking at their lunches they snuck on the train. The three of them giggled about Draco and Astoria playing wizard's chess in the other compartment.

"Surprised Parkinson's not in there cockblocking. Where is she anyway?"

Goyle kicked his friend and the he shut up immediately.

"It's fine. She told me." Belinda bit at her chicken leg and watched their expressions.

"It doesn't bother you?"

"Which part?"

"Well.... Her and Blaise- all of it."

"They're not even dating you idiot. Blaise can't stand her for more than an hour."

"If she likes getting beat up that's her business. Perhaps he's changed." She said cracking open her pumpkin juice. Gregory shook his head.

"I just don't think he's hit her yet because they aren't official. He doesn't care what she does yet."

"Good point."

"I'll be back."

On her way to the restroom, she saw Pansy and Blaise alone in their compartment. They weren't doing anything, just talking. She waved at them and Pansy waved back. Blaise just looked towards the window. Before she could even continue walking, someone passed her and nudged her shoulder hard.

Belinda caught a glimpse of red hair and threw Ginny against the wall.

"Watch where you're going Weasley!"

The girl didn't say anything. She just stared at Belinda with hatred in her eyes. Both of them looked ready to throw down.

Pansy and Blaise went to pull Belinda away.

"She didn't do anything to you."

"Bloodtraitor's just a bitter little bitch." Blaise said. Neville came up behind Ginny and pulled her away as well.

"Just walk away." Neville said to them.

"Why should I walk away? She pushed me so it means she has something to say. Go on! What? My mother burned your shithole not me. Your brother went off to help Harry and-"

Belinda smiled evilly and relaxed.

"I get it. Potter broke up with you didn't he? You blame me."

"He might have mentioned your name." Was all she said.

"If he broke up with you it's to protect you, you fucking idiot. Trust me, if I wanted Potter, I could've had him a long time ago."

Neville pulled Ginny along, the tension lingering.

"Don't worry about her." Pansy said. "There's probably more to it. Potter probably said your name when they were snogging."

The three of them laughed and went on about their day.

Narcissa smiled when she saw her two babies walk out of the train, shoving and teasing each other as always. Astoria walked by them and waved at the three of them. Belinda laughed when her aunt gave her a look, seeing as her son had a new look in his eye. They decided not to tease him about it and Narcissa handed them shopping bags.

"I picked up something for the two of you on the way here."

Belinda wrapped her brand new scarf around her neck. When they got back to the manor, she walked through the garden and saw most of their flowers were dying. The elves were trying their best to bring them back.

"Hi mom!"

Bellatrix walked towards her with a smile and gave her a big hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Why aren't you inside? It's nice and warm in there."

"I know I was looking at the flowers. Is it that cold that they're all dying at once?"

"Well no, the dark lord was a bit frustrated the other day. Poisoned all the soil."

"Oh no!" She ran to the plants nearest to the door. "I planted these Shrivelfigs with uncle on my eighth birthday!" Not one had survived.

"Huh. So that's what he was so upset about." Bella looked at her daughter, who had teary eyes. She watched her dig through the soil, trying to find at least one healthy fig root.

"Leave it darling we'll buy you some new seeds."

"I don't want new seeds." She muttered. Belinda blinked away her tears and looked at her dirt covered hands. Her little elf, Retch came running with a wet rag and began cleaning her hands.

"Come on let's go inside."

"Ma, do you believe in love?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course I do I love you, Cissy, and Draco."

"Do you love my dad?"

"Belinda we've talked about this. I love your father with all my heart. Don't ever tell him that though."

"But in love?"

"No not in love with him. But he's been there for me and he's family. I'd do anything for him."

"Interesting."

"Belinda are you worried about Corbin?"

"No. I like him. Just a lot of weird thing's I've been noticing. They make me think."

"What is it?"

"You and aunt Cissy hide a lot of things from me..... and Draco. Mostly you."

"I'll tell you anything you want to know."

"You offered me up as a horcrux, didn't you?"

Bellatrix didn't say anything. They just stared at each other. Belinda stood up and wiped her hands on her leggings.

"He told me. There's no point in you trying to change the story. You understand if Potter succeeds I die in the process?"

"That won't happen." She said sharply. "No one will harm you while your father and I are around. And the boy will be the one to die. Not the dark lord."

"The bloody hell are you two doing outside?"
Rodolphus came out of the house and pulled both of them inside by their hair. "You imbeciles will catch a cold!"

Belinda looked around for her uncle. She ended up finding him in his study, with two empty bottles of wine next to him. She tapped his shoulder and he scrambled awake.

"Hi my love, when did you get here?"

"Not too long ago..... I saw the garden."

"I know dear, I'm sorry about the figs."

"Nine years they were growing."

"I know."

"He's ruining everything."

"Shh."

"It's not fair. Look at us! Look at you!"

He took his niece into his arms and allowed her to cry as much as she wanted.
