wicked webs we weave [lucius]

[kai]

Bellatrix rolled out of bed, landing nimbly on her feet and stretched her arms above her head. She could hear her husband moving about in the next room and she found that she didn't really care too much. She smirked as she padded into the bathroom and pulled the remainders of her clothes off before stepping into the shower. Ten minutes later found her clean and she wrung the water out of her hair before merely letting it dry on its own. Her hair was most manageable when it was wet in any case. As she got dressed she went over what she had to do today, surely there was a long list as usual but she found that her day was absolutely free and that was a reason to pause and take a breath. Those days were far and few between. She rarely had an off day.

Running her fingers through her hair she went to grab her wands and hid them both before she stepped out of the bedroom and into the next room. A smirk appeared on her face as her husband came into view. She stepped around him, knocking the book he was reading out of his hands before she pulled his chin so he'd look at her. “I'm going out. You follow me I will kill you. You know how much I enjoy hurting you pet.” she murmured, her voice silky smooth. Bellatrix and Rod had an odd relationship, they fought often. While Bella enjoyed the pain she was not too sure if Rod did, not that she cared. She always made sure to carry her blade with her, just in case someone tried to jump her.

She loosened her grip on his face and pressed a mocking kiss on his forehead, the smirk never leaving her face. “You should shave, are you trying to look like Dumbledore?” she added as she stepped away ignoring his insults and whatnot. Sure, her husband was an attractive man, but he was a bastard and Bellatrix had never had the choice of whether she wanted to marry the brute or not. He hadn't expected on her to be more viscous than him, to be able to make him feel more pain than he was ever able to inflict on her. With a chuckle she left the house, singing rather badly as she walked towards the door. No one could apparate in or out of the wards. She trailed off from her singing as she reached the edge of the wards before stepping through and disapparating with a crack!

She appeared outside the Leaky Cauldron, and she cared little for the dingy pub. She wrinkled her nose as she walked through the pub, letting out a small breath in relief as she appeared by the brick wall, tapping the blasted bricks she eventually stepped through the archway and into Diagon Alley. Finally. She slipped past the people, many ducking out of her way and several just freezing on the spot until she was safely out of their range. Honestly, did people think that she was about to just kill anyone who stood in her path? Well, she was in a good mood today so she doubted she would kill anyone unless she was bothered. In any case, as she stepped into Knockturn Alley the crowds immediately thinned. Even then not many people came by this way. Not that it mattered, it was still busy, but not as busy as Diagon Alley.

Her feet carried her to the Potions Ingredients shop found there, one which she visited often. But it was only ten minutes later that she exited the shop, a small bag in her hand, she couldn't shrink this down due to the volatile ingredients so she would have to carry it in her hand. Stupid things. Without a second through she called one of her many house-elves and handed the bag to it, “If this is damaged in any way I will not take my time in giving you clothes.” she snarled as she watched the filthy creature bow and disappear. Stupid things. Her fingers twitched slightly but they were hidden by her long sleeves, thank Merlin. Now..what else did she have to do in the Alley today?

o, I think its you that needs the clothes... countered a smooth voice behind her.

ellatrix Lestrange. Or should I just say, strange Bella. chuckled Lucius. His mouth barely moving but a cruel smirk playing across his handsome face. With his hands crossed on his chest and legs slightly apart, he was in a solid position and he was feeling confident today. Lucius let out another laugh and turned away from the female in front of him, taking a few steps away from her to give himself a little bit more space but then span around and grinned boyishly.

o, what's a rejected snob like you doing sneaking around alleys that are tidier than your face, eh, Bella? he asked with a raised eyebrow. Lucius didn't know exactly what had gotten into him. Maybe it was just the stress of everything that was going on, the fact that he was cooped up alot of the time and the presence of Voldemort was pissing him off no end. Yes, sure the very fact that the bald, snake faced overlord was the...overlord meant that Lucius had unlimited power, now he was kind of back in his good spell books, so to speak, but what was the point in that if there was no fun to be had? Bella was basically asking to be annoyed.

as the Dark Lord accepted your deluded advances yet, my dear, darling, sister-out-law? he growled, stone orbs narrowed into slits. Even though they were meant to be family, Lucius did not like her, and the fact that she acted like she fancied Voldemort repulsed him and gave him the ammo to tease and attack her about it. He had always wanted to see how far he could push her. Even when they had both encountered that Harry Potter brat last, she had groveled at Voldemorts feet whilst he fought and killed Sirius Black. After that....Lucius growled again and lowered himself into a half fighting stance.

Bellatrix never reacted outwardly to the voice, but inwardly she hissed at it. Lucius, the pompous man that was his sisters husband. What a shame, who the hell would want to marry that? He looked more feminine than poor dear Narcissa. She rolled her eyes at the pun before she spun on her heel, her mess of curly hair spinning with her and bouncing slightly as she stopped, a smirk etched on her face as usual, but her eyes sparkled. Oh, she was used to this from her brother-in-law, the prick thought he could get to her with some carefully chosen words, but all it did was amuse her. Malfoy was all talk and no action.

She merely let him speak, taking in everything he said, ever action before she tilted her head to the right a bit and pressed her lips together in a pout. “Aww, is the stick up your arse getting to uncomfortable, pet? I would always be happy to help you remove it, of course, it would be rather painful, but then again, you should be able to handle the pain.” she murmured, her voice smooth yet mocking. Surely he would understand that he was not going to get to her, not while he was such a pompous arse. “Now what would a girl like you be doing a place like this, dear Lucius?” she asked her smirk widening to a grin.

Bellatrix made no move while Lucius lowered himself into a fighting stance, there was no need to prepare herself. Merely standing as she was would be enough. As if Lucius could pronounce half a spell before her own kicked in. Rodolphus had learnt early on that she was not to be messed with and when she told him to leave her alone she meant it. Working as Head Unspeakable also meant that she had a lot of knowledge about magic and how it works. She was able to manipulate it better than she was supposed too and that made her even more dangerous.

She chuckled low in her throat as she watched him, her eyes taking in each move he made. “Dear Lucius, are you expecting me to attack you?” she asked amusement in her voice. Oh dear. Bellatrix was too calm to attack anyone right now. Today was her day off and merlin be damned if Lucius thought that he was about to ruin her day. She would skin him alive before he even got close to that. “You should go bleach your hair some more, or go straighten it with some charms, I'm sure my sister would gladly help you out on that count.” she told him, cocking her head to the other side as she watched.

ucius straightened up again, grinning from ear to ear and tilted his own beautiful mantle slightly. He couldn't help but chuckle and the sound that came out was anything but feminine, deep and rumbling, from the depths of his barrel like chest. It was hard not to burst out laughing on the spot. The insults where old ones and they glanced off him. He showed his canines in a feral grin.

h, dear Merlin! he laughed. Your maturity wounds me, dear sister. It means that's your actually going somewhere in life. Image that? he snorted and was hard put not to break down laughing at her.
h and what is this stick you speak of. I don't seem to have it on my person. he questioned meekly. He had set himself up for a biting comeback but he though he may need to give his poor half relative a fighting chance. Rolling his shoulder back and yawning he looked at the small bag Bella was carrying and raised an eyebrow, curiosity flashing in his eyes for a brief second. But then he rallied himself back to the present.

e ran one hand through the silken tresses and arched his back slightly, closing his eyes and moaned softly through gritted and slightly bared teeth. A gesture of arrogance and his breeding. A nasty smirk appeared on his face as Bella finished the hair quip.
t least I don't look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards, shagged by Voldemort and live in a shack. he replied, flicking the bright blond plumage over his shoulders, exposing the full of his face to her and with a haughty snort, tossed his head and shifted his weight.

ou seem calm, Bella. Too calm. Maybe life has hope for you yet. he atoned in a low voice, one sculptured eyebrow raised. His tone was almost gentle, approving...almost. But this was Bella Lestrange we where talking about here, Lucius never felt anything for her apart from scorn.

Bellatrix rolled her eyes once more, Lucius called her immature, well look at who was talking. It was coming to the point where everything Lucius said only served to amuse her. Her husband tried it, he tried to get on her nerves and sometimes she let him, it was the only time they actually got along. When they got so angry at each other that all the did was fight, curse each other, then eventually they'd have sex and the whole cycle would start all over again. There was only so much that Bellatrix could take before she was not amused and she merely stabbed him enough that he would not be able to move at all. Merlin they were sick.

“You should know by now dear Lucius that every word that comes out of that aristocratic mouth of yours merely serves to amuse me,” she murmured as she snapped her fingers to call another house-elf and sent the bag away. But before she had done that she was cast a wandless silent stasis charm on the ingredients to ensure that they did not go to waste. It wouldn't be in every ones best interest if they did. She really needed that potion made and she did not trust anyone else to do it. “The stick, pet, is metaphorical. Then again, I am not too surprised you did not the reference. ” she added before she waved her hand dismissivly.

Lucius really was not worth her time. Her eyes travelled around the alley, taking in the passing people, she was always on guard thought and while Lucius was stretching and trying to dregrade her looks she ignore him. She was awfully good at ignoring Lucius, it was a shame that they were related, though luckily there was no blood shared between them. Thank bloody Merlin for that. Her attention was snapped back to Lucius when he commented on her calmness and she snickered, the smirk back on her face before she tugged a curl of hair back from her face.

“I can be calm Lucius, it is actually possible.” she told him, her voice betraying no emotion. She wasn't mentally unstable twenty four hours of the day, but it was a close call. She was glad that her fingers were hidden by her long sleeves because her twitch had come back. Stupid twitch. She curled her hands into fists and that stopped the twitch for now. One would hope that the twitch did not spread.

ow it was his turn to roll his eyes. Bella stated the obvious, but after all, that was all she could handle. He rolled his shoulder and squared his body, crossing his arms over his chest, stretching the fabric and the muscles showed through the taught fabric slightly. Impressive to most, but Lucius didn't revel in it, this once, he just wanted to go. The muscles weren't on for show. Not today. Not for her. Especially not for her. He lowered his arms again. Getting restless.

is head snapped to the left and his hair whipped around his face, the glossy strands shimmered in the smoky half light and then went back as Lucius spared Bella a sneering look. Eyes only, his mouth and expression were impassive and deadly. Passing his hand quickly over his mouth and swiping his tongue on his upper lip quickly and leant some of his weight back on his left leg and sank slightly. A yawn came and went and he clicked his neck. It was true she was calm but he was bored. he was always bored though, being a powerful aristocrat had it downfalls. Boredom was one of them.

is weight was shifted again, feet dragging through the cobbles as Lucius leant on a wall and cocked his head at his half sibling, for once just looking at her and seeing her for what she stood for. His eyes went back to the bag and he raised an eyebrow. He may as well ask. What was the harm in that, if at all. He nodded curtly towards it. His voice in the neutral.

hat's in there?

Bellatrix tapped her foot slightly, softly on the cobbled stones below her, no sound was made as she did so, her boots would not allow any sound to be made anyway. There was no point in having noisy boots if she wanted to sneak up on people which she did often enough. She tilted her head slightly as she looked at the people passing, there was nothing else to be done in the alley and Lucius was a right bore. That was the only reason she was glad she was married to Rodolphus, he was more interesting than Lucius, more exciting. Rodolphus would hit her if she wanted it enough. They both enjoyed the violence.

It wouldn't be an odd thing to note that Bella's hips were bruised, darkened due to his heavy touch, abrasions on her skin because of Rodolphus. Merlin, that was the only time they got along. When they were hurting each other physically. They were sick, but it wouldn't be them if they didn't have violence in their lives. It just wouldn't work unless it was like that. She chuckled to herself in her mind as she thought about it, there was little to be said to Lucius, the prick probably didn't even have sex with his wife any more. It wouldn't surprise Bella.

Bella's attention was taken away from her husband to look back at Lucius, her brother in law, the stupid twit. Bellatrix only had patience for Draco, but even then there were moments where Draco reminded her of Lucius and that bothered her. She looked down at the bag once the question was asked and she tightened her grip slightly on it, as if thinking he was about to steal it from her. “Potions ingredients. Dark Lord's request.” she told him with a small shrug of her shoulders. She hadn't given to much away anyway, so it was enough for the moment.

Lucius merely curled his lip and looked down at the small package. If it wasn't Bella carrying it and if the contents weren't for Voldemort, it would have almost looked cute, but it wasn't, because of the circumstances. Pursing his lips and blinking slowly, Lucius shrugged himself off the supporting wall and nodded at Bella. He was bored. Running his tongue over his lips quickly he passed her and gave her a scornful once over.

Well then, good luck with that. he muttered darkly and strode off into the mist and hustle of the crowds. His eyes fixed straight ahead and his mind intent on getting away from Bella. He succeeded, but only partly, before she could be wiped from his mind, he just milled over her existence. How could she still exist? What exactly did she live for? Stupid question, it was that creep Voldemort.

He sighed and continued on his way, deciding on taking the rural route back home. He was done in this hole. Whatever he had wanted to buy or whatever he wanted to had been soured, just by meeting that tramp of an outlaw.

He shouldered his way out of the crowds and took the time to growl at another man who dared to just challenge him by squaring up to him. He quickly backed down at the glare and the the sound uttered from the taller male and Lucius moved off unhindered, focused on getting home and getting changed.
