SADISTIC ↠ bellatrix black

chapter six - rodolphus lestrange

TIME LAPSE (fast forward a few days after the last chapter)

Bellatrix stood outside the Transfiguration classroom pondering whether she really needed to attend class. The entire class was filled with horrible people who hated her just because she was a Black. Her parents always told her that people would respect her because of her family name. She had seen other adults respect her parents tremendously - but why did most people hate her here?

None of the other students other than a few select pure bloods wanted to talk or sit next to her. Some of them would be nice but then they went away as soon as she said her name.

After much thinking, she decided she needn't have to go to class. It's not like she would ever need to know this stuff later on.

She mindlessly strolled of into the other direction to the Great Lake. As Bellatrix grew closer to the big shaded tree, she saw another boy sitting under there.

"Lestrange? What are you doing here?" Bellatrix asked surprised.

"I could ask you the same question Black," he smirked back at her.

"I didn't want to face or talk to the others," she sighed. She sat down next to Rodolphus who budged up to give her space.

"Same. They all hate us because of our family." He turned to her. Even at 11, Bellatrix was extremely good looking. He couldn't stop staring at her. Rodolphus immediately looked away. He didn't want her to think he was staring.

"I know. But do we really need their approval? Our blood is 10 times purer then theirs will ever be! Soon, people will come to their senses and all the blood traitors and Mudbloods will be wiped out. Just you wait!" She exclaimed.

"Yes I know. Now let's get to the next class. We don't want detentions. Come on," Rodolphus held his hand out.

"Since when did Rodolphus Lestrange care about detentions?" She said mockingly while she got up.

" I don't, but let's just go." He said quietly.

They walked towards the Charms classroom and waited outside. Ophelia walked up towards them and said quickly,

"Where were you? McGonagall was furious! She said you have detention tonight and she is going to owl your parents!"

"Do I look like I care? It doesn't matter we are here now." Bellatrix snapped

"Wait, were you both together?" Ophelia asked.

"Yes we were Greengrass. Now stop asking Bella and I questions. Let's go." Rodolphus sighed.

Ophelia narrowed her eyes at Bellatrix turned around and walked in the classroom. Bellatrix raised her eyebrows at him and mouthed "Bella?"

He shrugged and walked inside. Bellatrix hurried after him and sat next to him. Bellatrix could feel Ophelia's glare digging into the back of her head for the entire lesson. She felt satisfied. Bella: 1 and Ophelia:0, she thought.

Rodolphus and Bellatrix stood inside Professor McGonagall's office. She glared at them at asked,

"Why were you not in my class this afternoon?"

"Because we didn't want to!" Bellatrix blurted out before she could stop herself.

"Really? Miss Black and Mr Lestrange, if any of you skip class again, there will be severe consequences. For now, I will just owl your parents and take 40 points from Slytherin. Now sit down and write lines for me."

Bellatrix snarled and sat on a desk. Rodolphus joined her and they spent an hour writing 'I will not skip class'.

Bellatrix sat on her bed in the empty dorm room reading. She looked up to see Araminta sitting on her bed.

"So how was it?" Araminta asked

"What? Detention? Absolutely horrible. I had to write lines with Mcgonagall for an hour" Bellatrix groaned

"No silly. You were with Rodolphus while we had Transfiguration, everyone knows you were together."

"Oh, we just sat under a tree and talked, nothing happened!"

"Oh. I thought....it doesn't matter. Ophelia was furious. She likes him you know," she said in a matter of fact voice.

"Rodolphus? What does she see in him?" Bellatrix asked

"Probably his Gringrotts vault, his family name and his looks," Araminta said bluntly.

"Ohhhh. That's why she was mad at me!"

"Yes Bella! It's obvious Rodolphus likes you! Did you see him staring at you in Charms?" She asked eagerly.

"Well I don't like him. Let Ophelia have him. I don't care!" Bellatrix said arrogantly.

"You know you're going to have to get married some day. Rodolphus is the best choice. I would kill to have the heir to the Lestrange fortune fancying me!" She sighed dreamily.

Rita and Ophelia walked in the room and glared at Bellatrix. She glared back. She wasn't going to take this lying down. Araminta went to her bed and closed her curtains. Bellatrix lay down and fell asleep immersed in her own thoughts.
