Finding a home to call our own
\"Damn it,where is he\", Bellatrix said scanning the grounds for her husband. She knew full well that dementwoulwould be out looking for them soon. And she wasn\'t too keen on getting caught by them. she wasn\'t about to spend another day in that hell hole, after fourteen years she was ready to leave. But first she had to find her master and her husband who had seemed to disappear out of sight. She could see the tops of trees as the sunlight had peek through it was almost morning,but Rudolphus . The bumbler she thought bitterly, \"he probably got his self lost\", Bellatrix scowled and tramped through the grass. \"Oh to hell with him\", she though \"I\'m going ahead \", she trampled through the grass and headed towards a large tree.

From here she could see the ominous walls of Azkaban and the sunlight peeking over the edge. It almost looked looked cheery. But once you step foot inside you knew that it was less that after all she wasn\'t there for a vacation. She had singly handed had the Cruciatus Curse on the Longbottom\'s she was the reason they were in St. Mungo\'s. \"Ah yes how she loved that curse\", Bellatrix thought relenting the moment. Her pet peeve was sadism the pain inflicted on people was just so sweet. She could almost lament on the faces of the Longbottom\'s crawling and withering under her. Almost a morbid site to behold but Bellatrix loved it after all she was doing as she was told. She was more faithful to the Dark lord now then she was back then. But where had he gone, she could momentarily feel the dark mark on her arm burn. Telling her that he was close he was somewhere. It was just up to her to find him again. Perhaps Rudolphus and the others were already there?

That was just like him to vanish leaving her alone did he not care that the dementors were hot on her trail. Quickly she whizzed around and saw a black hovering figure a dementor stood gazing at her tilting it\'s head slightly. Sniffing the air, it knew quite well who she was but it seemed to wait there awhile and stare at something behind her. Then it raised it\'s arm towards her, quickly Bellatrix raised hend and as to fight it off, \"Cru..\", she said but was cut off but a jet of greenish light that whizzed past her. Quickly she scanned the ground and saw her husband with his wand raised at the dementor, who shook off the curse and retreated. Surprised at first Bellatrix looked to her grinning husband, \"you don\'t think I\'d let you out her alone darling, now do you\", Bellatrix shook her head then scowled. \" I could of been caught and you just ran off like that, doesn\'t finding the Dark Lord mean anything to you\", Rudolphus\". The tall man stroked his beard and put his hands down to his side walking over to his wife he wrapped them over her. \"You know that the Dark Lord means everything to me, but I was worried about you Bella\", the dark haired woman\'s face soften her dark circled eyes met his dark brown ones.



Gently he kissed her forehead and walked her back towards the old tree, he tapped him wand lightly over the branches and a opening appeared, \"Everyone is waiting for us, the Dark Lord is back at his old manor, and this pathway leads there, we\'ll be safe Bella I promise\", Bellatrix nodded . \"What about Lucius, does he know that were here\", Bellatrix asked, Rudolphus nodded his head,\" I took the liberty of sending him and owl, hopefully it won\'t be intercepted by the ministry, but then again Lucius has Barty\'s old man wrapped around his little finger so it shouldn\'t be such a problem\", Bellatrix nodded then followed her husband into the crook of the tree. There inside hundreds or candles illuminated the dirt lined walls and a stairwell led deeper into a tunnel. She descended these stairs her husband following close behind her. It seemed like this was never ending until she heard voices and the sight of a room filled with more candles. She could smell the sweet scent of nutmeg mingpipepipe tobacco.

She could see the covered of heads of the other Death Eaters, but could quickly make out the portly faces of Crabbe and Goyle who were merrily stuffing there faces while talking excitingly to each other. Bella could help but snicker, those too baffons as useless as they were, they were nothing more than comic relief. Not loyal like she was she had done more for the Dark Lord and Bellatrix was quite proud of that fact. She snickered looking around the room, many of the Death Eaters nodded taking off there masks momentarily to kiss her hand, they might be Dark Wizards but at least some of them were gentlemen. Bellatrix thought. momentarily she was busy talking to another Death eater when a smiling face caught her eye,\"Rabastan\", she said as a tall man with a pointy face walked over to her and kissed her hand, \"Bella my dear how are you, is my brother treating you well\"?, he said Bella nodded and Rabastan chuckled, \"it so good to see you again m\' dear would you like to have some tea with me\"?, Bella tried not to laugh her brother in law always had such a wicked sense of humor, \"why yes m\'dear\", she said taking her hand as she excused herself from the previous conversation\".

They sat down at an old wooden table, Rabastan tapped his wand and tea appeared. \"You know Severus is going to join us tonight, it had been long sin\'ve\'ve seen him\", Bellatrix nodded \"How is he these days\", Bellatrix asked, Rabastan looked at her while taking a sip of his tea. \"Teaching, potions at Hogwarts it\'s funny I\'d never thought he\'d agree to be in cahoots with Dumbledore, that old fool really believes that he left the Dark Lord\" he let out a triumphant laugh banging his hand on the table with a thud, Bellatrix just took a sip of her tea watching his expression quite unbelievable she hadn\'t seen Snape in yeare hae had always wondered what happened to him,\"hmn quite amusing\", she said \"quite amusing\".
