The First...
Bellatrix arrived first, she always had. She sat down in a green velvet chair in the dining room of Malfoy Manor, and held up her head with her hand. It was 10:58 and the meeting was to start at 11 o' clock. With a loud bang Crab and Goyle entered the room eyeing Bellatrix with greedy eyes, she put her hands in her lap and just ignored them as they talked amongst themselves. With a few more bangs in entered Dolohov, Yaxley, Wormtail, and the Carrows. She suspected they would be the only ones to be called, and of course her sister and her family, who walked down the stairs swiftly. At exactly 11:00 with a louder bang than the others arrived Voldemort. The sight of him took Bella's breath away, and to be in his presence gave her a sense of worth. Her husband wouldn't come there with her because of his undercover ministry job. Then the dark lord spoke.
"You have been called here to talk about a birthday, a very special one, Mr.Potter will turn 17 in the next week. We will attack that night." He paced slowly. "We must infiltrate the Ministry as soon as possible." he hissed.
Everyone was quiet, Bellatrix thought and then spoke...
"My-Lord, surely they know that we will attack the same night the boy has his 17th birthday. They must have some kind of plan to keep us away or at least stall us."
Voldemort thought, and the others murmured in agreement.
"Correct Bella, we must capture an order member and force the plan from him. I take it you would be happy to do that job."Voldemort said gesturing to Bellatrix.
"Of course My Lord." She said thankfully.
She knew she was in love with a man who could never love her back. For they all said he was incapable of it. He had taught her most of what she knew of the Dark Arts. She never loved her husband just a respectable pureblood marriage. She could not help but love Voldemort. She touched her forearm branded with the dark mark, she loved the feeling.
Dolohov was speaking now to the dark lord.
She looked up and caught Voldemort's eye, but he quickly looked away as if nothing was ever there.
Bellatrix spoke, " If we break in to the ministry, how are we going to gather all of the people inside, My Love." She clasped her hands to her mouth desperately hoping that he didn't her those last two words. "I meant My Lord." she said frantically. If he had heard that, she would most definitely be tortured.
The rest of the Death eaters with the exception of her sister (who had gotten up from her chair and tried to help her), burst in to laughter at her words. Voldemort turned and pointed his wand at her chest. He seemed to hesitate for a moment before he spoke. "WHAT, BELLATRIX?
CRUCIO."
She writhed in pain screaming for mercy, but no one helped her, and when it was over he lie on the floor, motionless. When she got up on to her knee's, she cried. When she cried all her feelings held back for over 20 years were put in to those tears. Voldemort stepped towards her with his arm stretched but then stopped himself.
Narcissa kneeled beside her, holding her shoulders.
"My love?" said Dolohov "Some Death Eater you are."
Bellatrix gathered all the strength she had and got up swiftly and threw a hex straight as Dolohov's chest, and he was thrown backwards across the room, and he hit the wall and fell. Tears still poured down her face. "I'm sorry my lord it was a mistake." She said pleadingly.
He turned away and said "Bellatrix, Leave."
She was hurt. Did he feel nothing? she thought to herself, but she was interrupted by Dolohov's voice,
"CRUCIO."
She was to weak to block it and it hit me and she fell to the floor once more and let out a terrible scream, a scream of extreme pain, and sorrow. It stopped but only for a second as another hex hit her from Dolohov's wand. But as he said the third Voldemort raised his wand and blocked it.
"ENOUGH, STOP IT," he shouted "LEAVE ALL OF YOU, Bellatrix stay.
She could not move. Once all of the rest had left she lifted herself to her knee's once again, supporting herself with her arms. The Dark Lord kneeled beside her and held her in his arms.
"I'm sorry Bella."
She was so shocked by his touch and his apology. When he touched her it was bliss, his cold fingers around her waist, felt so good.
The only word she could make out was a faint "Torture."
"I know it hurt me as much as it hurt you, but I couldn't let them know." he replied.
She twisted her body to look at him, and then he kissed her.
Nothing else mattered, nothing in the world could take her away from him. For years they had loved each other but neither told the other. She never knew it could be like this.
"But they all said you could not love." she murmured as they kissed again.
He healed her with a quick charm.
"I thought the same until I saw you." He said as they gazed in to each others eyes.
"I love you and I always will my lord."
"I love you too my queen." He said as they kissed once more.
And at that very moment Severus Snape burst through the door.
For a moment he saw what was happening, and then they broke apart, and she removed herself from his arms quickly.
Voldemort stood up and spoke to Severus in a voice unlike his. "Severus Snape I want you to forget what you just saw, turn around and go back home, is that clear?"
"Yes My Lord." he said apparently mesmerized.
But he wasn't the only one who had seen...
