That Boy is a Monster, A bellatrix Rodolphus schooldays fanfiction

Chapter 5:

"I think part of the thing about this wand is that people want to steal it," Rodolphus said. Bellatrix had handed him the wand to give him first go. He held it and studied it closely.

"Why do you think that," she asked.

"Well because I want it. I mean I really want it. I know you'll share it with me, but if it wasn't you I'd hex you into next week and take it."

"Allright well try a spell, then," she said eagerly, unconcerned because she trusted him to share because they just did. They shared everything and never minded it because they were a team, a set, the best dark couple the wizarding world had ever seen and both were fully aware of that fact.

Rodolphus flicked the wand at a near by tree and uprooted it with little effort.

"Well it's not like the typical wooden wands that has to choose the wizard," he observed. "And I think the fact it can make people want it could e a battle distraction. If you're thinking about my wand harder than what I'm doing to you, I could use that."

Bellatrix nodded, gaze riveted on the wand.d It was almost hypnotically pretty. "Yeah. I think you're right," she murmured, itching for her turn with the thing. She got it soon enough and practiced restoring the uprooted tree. Not nearly as satisfying, granted, but it was difficult enough magic relatively, and allowed her to test her skills with a nonstandard wand. She was pleased with the results. The spells too restore the tree to the ground were simple enough.

"I feel there is more that we can do with this, but it'll take time to sort," she said, and Rod nodded.

"First we'd better sort Kreacher doing that memory charm on us before The Dark Lord sees something he shouldn't in our heads," he said and she nodded.

The last thing she wanted was to displease their lord for keeping family secrets that he may find untenable. She'd much prefer her mind to be on wedding plans and pretty wands that still held a few secrets if her guess counted for anything.

And a few years later when Regulus vanished, something bothered both Lestranges about the entire thing...though neither could quite remember what.
