The eyes Id be looking into soon .
"I'll be home by midnight" he said as he tied his boot.
Translation: "You'd better be home before then"
I smiled sweetly in Rodolphus ' direction. "I'll be here, Baby"
He walked over to me and grabbed me hard by my hips pulling me to him. My breath caught in my chest as our bodies met.
His touch.
It could stop me in my tracks.
He leant down and kissed me deeply. "I love you Bellatrix."
He never called me my full name. He was being serious .
"I love you Roddy" I said as I pulled back from him. Wanting him to be able to look in my eyes , to know I meant it.
I didn't see any acknowledgement in his face that he did. It hurt. I felt awful . But I knew why. We both knew where I was headed today. Straight to the arms of another.
He grabbed my chin, his thumb stroking over my lips . "Be a good girl Belle" he said staring hard in my eyes .
"You come home safe to me." I said. He was going to meet with the Dark Lord. He was going to take the mark soon. Maybe even tonight . My stomach always turned when he met with them - the Death Eaters.
He cupped the side of my head with one hand as he leaned in on the other side.
"I love you Belle " he said hot in my ear before kissing me where my jaw meets my ear and left.
I exhaled for what seemed like the first time in five minutes.
In a few minutes Id be meeting Lucius, I should be there now but... I couldn't rid myself of the dizzyness I felt at the thought.
And I couldn't shake him.
Rodolphus.
Against all odds he'd made his way into my heart.
I pulled on my boots and grabbed my wand. Taking a deep breath I apparated to our meeting spot , just outside of Diagon Alley.
His blonde hair. It's what I saw first. It felt like my heart stopped and any hesitation Id felt about seeing him vanished . He turned when he'd heard me arrive .
"Bella" he said his face lighting up .
I turned and walked away to a nearby alley where he followed. We couldn't be seen together- not here.
"I've missed you " I whispered as he took me in his arms leaned against the brick wall of the alley . We kissed
Our lips met and for a moment I forgot that long weeks had passed without his touch. Weeks in which Id become another's, his wife , his lover and somehow, inexplicably, unintentionally , fallen for him.
As the spell of our kiss broke those realities came into sharp focus and as I grabbed him to apparate us to a nearby Muggle town where we wouldn't encounter wizards who knew us , I could tell similar realities had come crashing in on him as well.
As we arrived, feet on pavement he felled me with the first of many blows. I reached for his hand only for it to be ignored.
"How have you been... Madam LeStrange?"
It wasn't actually a question, just a condemnation.
"Lucius don't. "
"Don't what? Address you by your proper name?"
"Fine then . I've been amazing and you?"
He waved me off.
" Matters not does it, to a married woman such as yourself. Maybe what I should be asking how is he?"
