“You and me both. The glamour of pretending not to be a murderer has long since past.”
“It’s just so dreadfully boring, pretending not to be.”
“Probably not, but I’ve never quite liked men telling me what to do, so blame it on me if you have to. I’m doing well, Rod. Quite thrilled to be leaving. You?”
“Pretty much. I’m sick of this place. I want to get out there and do the good stuff.”
“No, but that’s half the reason I’m irritating you rather than someone else.”
“Pretty sure I’m not ‘allowed’ to speak with you. And how are you, Carrow?”
“Do I really look like I want to do something like that, and with you no less?” Rodolphus was so ready to be done with Hogwarts by this point. He just had a few more weeks to go.
“Where is my cat?!”
“I feel like this would be an inappropriate joke, if it wasn’t you.”
“If I wanted to hear you talk, I would have spoken to you,” Severus groaned. “I’m trying to concentrate.”
“Someone is quite grumpy, isn’t he?”
“That’s okay I’m sure it’ll take getting used to. I mean, It’s easy form e seeing as I spend a lot of time with her, and went through nine months with her growing inside me, and wen through labour and all that. But that’s because I’m a mother.” Florence shrugged. “Come on, hold onto my arm so we can go.”
“You are a mother. I think that’s part of my issue is I’m just struggling to connect to it all.” With a dramatic eyeroll, he held onto our arm. “Don’t get us splinched. I know how you women can be with a bad sense of direction and all.” He was nervous and he wasn't about to admit to that.
“If I hear one more thing about the Quidditch final, I’m going to start cursing people. No one cares.”
“Because I have to accept it, I am a mum. She may hae been created one a night that was a mistake, but she’s the most amazing thing in my life.” She always smiled when she spoke of her daughter, and she headed out into the grounds when they got to the main door. “You’ll see when you see her, Rod. She’s… she’s incredible.”
“I just think it’s a lot to handle and I’m not saying I won’t accept that she’s partly mine, but I just don’t think I’m ready to think of myself like that. We both know that night was a horrible idea and I do regret it.” He hoped she was right and that he’d be able to connect some.
“Oh, come on, smile. She’s gorgeous, really.She has your eyes.” She smiled, before slinging her coat over her arm, and then heading out into the grounds.
“How do you just do that? How do you just accept that you’re a mum? you don’t feel like she’s a mistake and taking your life away?” It was an honest question.
“Perhaps. I mean you re acting rather grumpy today. But come on, let’s head out into the grounds so that we can apparate to my house. Daphne will be going down for her nap in about an hour and a half.”
“Well you know the way, so let’s get it over with.”
“All right then. Just don’t look so sour around the baby, okay? She gets grumpy enough without learning it from her father too.”
Father. There was that word again. “Right, maybe she gets it from her father then.”
“Jealous? Hardly,” Bellatrix answers. “And I’d rather cuddle with a doxie than you.” Yet her gaze can’t help but crawl over his body as he sheds the towel without concern for the bits he leaves exposed to her. “You hardly invest in an early night unless you’re ill, Rodolphus. Entertain me instead.”
“Oh but of course. So you’re here why then?” He noticed her gaze move over his body and he’d always found her very attractive. All of that dark beauty was quite alluring to Rodolphus. “And how should I go about doing that, my love? Anything in particular, hm?”
“Right, okay. I’ll remember that, mhm?” She crossed her arms over her chest as she heard his response, before raising her eyebrows at him. “You don’t have to come if you don’twant to, it was just an offer.”
“I said I’d go. So, let’s go. Don’t question. Just accept that I said I would do it, hm?”
“At least yours is your age,” Lucius sighed. “I feel like I’m betrothed to a baby.”
“Cissa is a bit young, but I mean, you can always corrupt the young too. Just make her learn to like you, Malfoy, or at least entertain you.”
“Hm, I thought your name was Ro-dull-phus,” Bellatrix replies as she crosses her arms and watched him seat himself. With a shrug, she answers, “No, but I’m more curious to know why you need to get dressed at this hour. Have a big date?”
Bellatrix holds now malice in the inquiry. She means it to be a teasing jab but a part of her doesn’t put it past the boy to have a date with someone. And she’s okay with that. For the most part. The eldest Black rarely feels a furious need to feel something for Rodolphus. Jealous of her possessions being touched? Yes. But it’s along the same lines as when her sisters would touch the objects she’d stolen from people. Rodolphus is her object so others should keep their fingers to themselves.
“I am hardly dull.” He shrugged, rolling his eyes. “Maybe I just felt like a shower. Why? Are you jealous? Do you want to know if I have a hot date?” He knew that he got jealous, but it was not something he admitted to. They’d not spent much time together of late.
He then moved to drop his towel, letting himself move slowly to grab a pair of pants and a t-shirt. “I was actually debating an early night. Care to hunker down and cuddle, my dear?” He rolled his eyes at his own words. He and Bellatrix were not the cuddling time. He had been known to touch her but not cuddle her. It’d been a while since he’d touched her, even.
“I really don’t see why you can’t just leave me alone.”
“It doesn’t really work that way.”
