The wind blew slightly overhead, blowing soft raindrops upon all who were outside. It was drizzling, actually, but barely. A hand grazed on top of the rose bushes, brushing the drops of water the had fallen there all around. It was a bit chilly, but that did not bother this girl.
She was clad in jsut her school uniform, complete with the sweater and the tie hanging loosely around her neck; all in the Slytherin colors. She ahd not bothered to cover up, but instead had rushed outside after her last lesson. She was exasperated at that. All of these random people all about; people whom she did not know of. It bothered her beyoung belief, and pretty much Bella just needed to escape for a bit. If not, she most likely would have burst out at one of her own housemates; one of her friends. Not that that bothered her, really. It was jsut that she needed sometime to think, and to not deal with the overly loud common room.
Even so, Bella always seemed to be in a more cheery mood when it rained. Less students around to bug it. Plus, it just made her feel free, as if all of these prejudices she faced could just fall out of her; like the rain does the sky. Being a Black was much more than just getting everything she wants, when she wants it: it is so much more. Her pale hand clasped around one rose, that seemed to stand out from the others around it for it's beauty. She tugged, releashing it from it's trap.
Slowly, a smile appeared upon her lips. Holding it in one hand, Bellatrix picked off petals one by one; quite like a young girl asking if some boy loves her. But, of course, who could not love Miss Bellatrix Black; and not getting cursed for it?

Lucius had spent the last couple of days in the castle helping out with some of the extra students as part of his Head Boy duties. He didn't mind it too much but he got stuck with the task of finding someplace to stick the Gryffidors and that put him in a slightly bad mood. He thought some fresh air would help even if it was raining.
He didn't mind the rain so he was only in his school uniform and by the time he reached his destination he was already soaked. He noticed Bella around the rose bushes and made his way over towards her. He watched her with the rose as he walked.
"Wet enough for you?" He asked from behind her.

Bellatrix paced extremely slowly across the path, petals crushing under her feet with each step. She was indeed quite soacked, but yet she hardly minded. Instead, her mind was elsewhere. Thinking about things was something Bella rarely did. Mostly everything for her was impulsed; Only rarely did she ever spend time not acting on a whim; and usually that was planning for her next challenge. See, most people, well at least those in Slytherin, knew that Bellatrix coud not resist the bet. Of course, money was not important to her. Instead, the stakes usually consisted of information; or even a kiss. It was just the way she played this game.
A smile played on her face after she heard that voice. Nobody could mistake the voice for anything. Lucius Malfoy. Heir to the Malfoy name. Let's jsut say, that you would be stupid to underestimate him. Continuing slowly, she did not btoher to turn her head.
"Not quite. And is Lucius Malfoy drowned to his extent?"
And, with this, she turned her head back towards him.Looking up, she perked up her eyebrows as if in inquiery. Nobody could doubt how sarcarstic Bellatrix really was.

"Maybe after a few more minutes he said." Watching her as she walked. He continued to walk towards her. She was a very interesting person as he liked to put it. She resembled a little of Narcissa but yet was very much her own person. He found the way she handled most things intriging. "So what brings you out here on a day like today?" He asked pushing some of his wet hair out of his face.

The smirk continued to play on Bellatrix's face. It was a perfect situation. After all, she was alone with Lucius Malfoy; something most girls could never say. Second, well, because he happened to be her next target. After all, he was perfect. Respectable family name, wealthy, and not to mention his good looks. Bella knew that her father would approve greatly. And, maybe the fact that she always liked a challenge, and to have fun played into the whole situation.
She pulled another petal off the rose, and smoothed it between her fingers. Watching it slowly with her hands, she looked up merely to answer him.
"Who would have ever thought that big, strong..Lucius Malfoy would be troubled by a bit of rain?"
She waved her hand around, in a circular gesture in order to emphasize the lack of a downpour. However, the smirk completely returned to her face, this time with a short giggle. After all, everybody did get tired of being stuck in cold, and wet situations. Herself included.
"And, why exactly would you like to know that information?"
Her voice defensive. Never give out information. It was a quick reaction from Bellatrix, as many things were. She did not think of who she was with, but rather it was impulsive. After all, giving out information was not something people should do voluntarily. Sighing, she continued; her voice less defensive and rather sarcastic.
"If you must know, I am here to escape the highly exasperating first years in the Common Room."
She looked once more towards the rose, dropping the petal to the ground. She again looked up towards the side at him, barely moving the position of her head.
"And, what brings you out here, Lucius?

He smirked as he watched her play with the rose petal in her hands. He walked closer to the rose bushes closing the gap between the two even more, his hands were in his pockets. "Someones slightly defensive, and I am not trouble by a bit of rain" he said slightlyl sarcastically bringing one hand out of his pocket to push his hair out of his face.
"I was in the need for some fresh air, something the castle is lacking with the sudden appearance of the other students." he said plucking a rose from it's place and bringing up to examine it. After he was finished looking at it he casually flicked it to the ground.
"I didn't think you'd ever let those little first years get to you." he said with a smirk, looking up at her.

Bella watched him step closer, forcing her feet to now pace with his. The rose was now nearly depleted of petals, and her hands now fragrant with their smell.
"It seems that I am not the only one who seems to be defensive. Now, am I?"
Ahe commented on how he in turn defended his own actions. The smile continued to play on her face. She began to twirl the nearly empty rose in her hand, watching as the other rose dropped from Lucius's hands.
"It's not that they do not get to me. It's that I do not let them continue with their foolishness."
A laugh escaped her lips, as slowly she bent down to pick up the rose. Grasping on to it, she felt a small pain shoot throw her finger. Taking in a big breath of air, she stood up, the rose still in her hand, a single drop of blood flowing off of her finger. But, still the smile did not fade from her lips. Everything had it's cost.

He smirked when she noticed his defensive tone. "I'm surprised the first years are given a warning speech about you." He said noticing her picking up the rose and heard her take in a breath.
"Did you prick your finger?" he asked looking from her face where she was still smiling to her hand where the finger was bleeding.
"You shouldn't be wasting that, pureblood is hard to come by these days."

Her smile widened after his comment about the first years. Indeed, they should be warned to stay out of Bellatrix's way. After all, none of them were worth her time. Well, maybe some of her younger cousins; but she had much more important things to worry about than a bunch of first years.
She still stared at her hand, closing her eyes for a moment while he spoke. She reopened them, looking up at him.
"Indeed. However, beauty always comes with a cost."
The smile still continued to stay on her face. Bellatrix Black could take a bit of pain, unlike most girls who whould have been crying about a simple little finger prick. With her non-bleeding hand, she reached out, and pushed his hair gently behind his ear.
"That's why we have to stick together, no?"
That seductive smile that Bella must have known since she was nine or ten appear on her face. However, quickly, she looked once more forward at the path, returning her face to a normal half-smirk. The rain has come to a close for right now. However, that might only mean that is was building up for something bigger soon.

"Yes we do" he said. By now Lucius was used to Bella's tendency to flirt with him and at the present time sees no need to stop it. One of the main reasons being he liked to flirt back. He smirked when she placed his hair behind his ear.
"Was that bothering you?" he said referring to his hair hanging loosely around his face. He figured some harmless flirty wouldn't hurt. He reached down and grasped her bleeding hand bringing up so he could see the damage.
"Well I think you'll live.' He said.

Bellatrix kept the smile on her face.It was not that it was bothering her, it was more of an excuse to touch him. That was her only answer to him. She let him lift her hand with ease. It was a small cut, of course. Truly there was barely any harm done. She stepped a bit closer, for both showing him that she is in his control by following his touch. And, second because she felt that she was so close to obtaining her goal.
"Good, I don't know what half the school would do without me."
The smirk appeared a bit wider on her face as this commet was spoken, her sarcastic voice fading and a moer flirtatious one coming in.
"But, are you not going to kiss me to make it better?"
Bella picked her words carefully, fully sure that she did not make a mistake in the word choice.

"I'm sure they'd mourn you greatly." He said, a smirk making its way onto his lips. He noticed how she moved closer when he lifted her hand. He found it interesting how Bellatrix could be a different person when she wasn't around many people.
"Don't you mean aren't you going to kiss it better?" He said knowing that she meant what she said but he always liked to draw things like this out. It was also fun to see how far you could push Bella. Although if one wasn't careful when you attempted to push her then you'd probably wind up in the hospital, but Lucius was always careful.

It was true that Bellatrix was different around different people. However, around those who deserved her attention was she the most like her. And, well, she was always completely different when around the likes of Lucius Malfoy. After all, every girl wants to have some fun. And even so, Bellatrix was dying to get what she wanted right then. And, if she did not, most knew to stand clear of her for quite some time afterwards.
The smirk stayed on her face, as she decided not to respond to his first comment. After all, some of it may be true; but Bellatrix knew that her friends would truly be upset if she left. The rain had once more turned to a drizzle, washing the small amount of blood from her finger.
She used her other hand to grab his other, ever so softly and attempted to lead it to behind her on her lower back. Once more, she brushed his hair behind his ear, but this time kept her hand there, once more, gently.
"No, I was right the first time."

Lucius allowed her to move his hand with ease and place it one her lower back. He took a step closer to her making it easier for him to have his hand in place. He brought his free hand up and brushed her hair away from her face grazing her cheek in the process.
Still not giving in totally to what she wanted him to do, at least not yet he spoke again.
"So tell me, does Bella always get what she wants?" He asked, his head tilted slightly to one side as he looked at her.

A smile played on Bellatrix's lips as they stood so close together. She was playing the game, and Lucius just happened to be her prize. As his hand grazed her cheek, Bella let her eyes close, her head tilting to the side into his touch. This smile continued to play on her lips as he spoke. Opening her eyes jsut a bit, she once more looked up at him, moving her head closer to his neck.
"Usually."
Unless of course Narcissa ets in the way. she added to herself. It always seemed to be an ongoing rivalry with the sisters. Bellatrix would do almost anything to prove that she was the better sister; the most desirable one. She placed her lips at his neck, kissing it multiple times, slowly pulling away as doing so. Despite her outward personality, Bellatrix was going to wait for him. She would not feel like she truly won the game until he gave into her. It would not be the same.
