Who: Bella and Amycus
What: Dinner at her house! Plotting as well
Where: Black Manor
When: Saturday Afternoon
Status: Incomplete
Rating: PG

Bellatrix waved her wand trying to quell the fire that she'd accidentally started. How did one cook? Well. Cook well? She checked the time, cursing silently to herself. Her guest could arrive at anytime. She stared at the charred bird she'd been attempting to cook. Why did she try and impress people? Dressing up for fools. Cooking for friends. Nope. This insanity had to end.

She let out a long drown out sigh and poked the dead meal with the tip of her wand. Another burning yet slightly different smell caught her attention. A string of curses followed her attempt to save the potatoes...

"Just... forget it. He'll eat it like this and love it." She hissed grabbing her mother's nice plates, trying not to drop them in her irritation. The only thing that calmed her mind was the thought of Rodolphus learning of this. She cooking and having dinner with someone~ She laughed silently to her self setting the table and placing the burnt food in the middle of the table. Perhaps she'd write some long journal about how lovely it'd been. Yes... she'd do that. Hint to ridiculous things~ Oh. He'd be sooo upset. It'd be worth the cauldron full of bugs he might send her!

The doorbell cut off her devious plotting. Uh. The house smelled of burnt food and she looked like a disaster... She waved her wand at least making the house look nice. The least she could do before hurrying to door to great her guest.

Amycus had been very careful to not let Rodolphus find out where he was going until right before he left Lestrange Manor. He knew it was childish of him but he hadn't been able to resist the temptation of letting it slip that he was off to see Bellatrix. His glee at remembering the look on Rodolphus' face at the news was dampened somewhat by the concern that Rodolphus would take his frustrations out on Rabastan. All he could do about that now was hope Alecto would be able to keep Rodolphus from doing anything too cruel to Rabastan.

He rang the doorbell again, suddenly impatient to be inside where he and Bella could talk and he could try to forget his worries for a little while. There was also the fact that he wanted to ask her about setting up an opportunity to introduce Rabastan to their Lord. He wasn't looking forward to that at all, wanting to protect Rab from that. He just didn't think his friend would be happy as a Death Eater but he'd promised to try and set a meeting up and he had never broken a promise to his friend.

He looked up as the door open, his irritation at having to wait gone as he took in his friends appearance. "All right?" he asked, pushing past her into the house.

"Of course I am!" She probably should have waved her wand on herself. And cleared that burnt smell out of the air. Well. Nothing for it now. She'd have the house elf clean up a bit. Bellatrix closed the door behind him and smiled a bit later. "Welcome to the Black Manor!" A proud smile graced her face. She was proud of her name. And her home. They were Purebloods of the highest degree and she loved showing off.

"Feel free to make yourself at home. If you set your coat down Kretcher can get it for you later. For now... I have lunch prepared and we can begin eating that." She tapped her fingers together a bit nervously. A better host would keep everyone far away from that concoction in the dining room... but perhaps it tasted better then it looked and smelled. Perhaps. "You have things you wish to discuss with me, yes?"

"You look a bit of a mess, my dear. It's still lovely to see you though. I've been looking forward to this since we made our date," Amycus said, shrugging out of his coat and dropping it on a chair as he looked about curiously. It was a nice home, nothing like his parent's home in Greece but nice in it's own way.

He sniffed the air a bit warily, noticing for the first time the smell of burnt food. "I trust that what you've prepared will be interesting," he told her with a cautious smile, choosing his words carefully. "I have a favor to ask you, yes. But first I want to hear all about what you did to that dreadful mudblood. And then I'll tell you all about my little game if you'd like."

Her eyes started to narrow as the subject of the food came about. If he mocked her... though the subject was dismissed as soon as it was brought up and she smiled brightly at his words, irritation forgotten.

"Oh Yes!! I will! I will! Absolutely! I don't think I've told anyone but Cissy. And that was in very vague detail." She laughed happily leading the way into the dining room where the table was set up and waiting for them. "I'll be more than happy to tell you everything you'd like to know!"

Mmm. The only thing i haven't gotten is the drinks. Is there anything you care to have? I'm sure I have most things. My father keeps a well stocked collection..." And good brands too. She'd be indulging in some fire whisky but that wasn't for everyone.

Amycus had noticed Bella's eyes beginning to narrow at his comment about the food and he was glad that he'd dropped the topic as quickly as he had.

He laughed along with her as he followed her through the house, paying close attention to the furnishings and decorations in case Alecto wanted him to describe them to her later. "And of course I'll want to hear exactly what you did to Rodolphus. I'm certain it was nothing more than he deserved," he told her, tactfully ignoring the burnt food on the table as they took their seats.

"I'll admit to having developed quite a taste for firewhiskey living here in England all these years," he told her. It was something his father and grandfather both disparaged over but he didn't care what they thought of his habits.

"UGH! Him! Must we speak of him...?" She tapped the liquor cabinet and grabbed the bottle of fire whiskey. "It was exactly what he deserved. Unfortunately he enjoyed it! Fool..." she grumbled. "As for what I did? Tortured him. Unforgivably. He however just proclaimed love when it was over and told me that was his favorite curse.

She slammed the bottle down on the table, a little harder then she meant to. He was a sore subject to talk about after all. "He's insane... and I loathe him..." Sending her bugs and locks of hair. Insanity! She was all for killing things, but you didn't send it to people! There was a line after all!

She took a deep breath opening the bottle. "I take it you don't care for him either...?" One could only hope, she thought pouring the liquid into their glasses. She had half a mind to just drink from the bottle and pass it to him. Though her mother and sister would have a fit if they ever found out. And in this house one was never alone. The pictures told on her every chance they got.

"We don't have to talk about anything you don't want to, my dear," Amycus told her smoothly. "Although he has always been a bit off so it doesn't really surprise me that he'd enjoy it," he added mildly.

He was barely able to stop himself from jumping when Bella slammed the bottle down on the table. He took his glass from her, thinking how different it was than the way he normally drank it which was straight from the bottle in his dorm room. "Rodolphus aren't exactly seeing eye to eye at the moment no," he told her, the habit of watching his words was a difficult one to get rid of even with Bellatrix.

"Oh really?" She took a seat and swirled the liquid in her glass. "Do tell... I'm curious about who else he is riling up..." She hated him. But she loved gossip too. And gossip and mutual distaste for a person was to good to pass up.

She was eager to hear all about this. "Tell me about it. Perhaps I can help the situation." She wasn't one for Death Eaters turning on each other. Their Lord would not like that... but putting on in their place should be alright. He might actually approve of such things!

"You know I've never cared for the way he treats Rabastan. I know that Alecto and I are much closer than most siblings but I think almost everyone can see that Rodolphus is far too callous in his treatment of Rabastan at times," Amycus told her taking a sip of his drink. It might sound like a silly reason to dislike a person, but Rabastan was Amycus' best friend and he'd never been able to stand by and see him hurt if he could prevent it.

She hummed softly in thought. "He's a cruel person. Well. We all are. Otherwise we wouldn't be Death Eaters. However. I could never imagine doing harm to one of my sisters... Unless they became traitors to the family... and of course I don't see that happening!"

Bellatrix glanced up at Amycus and smiled slightly. "I'm all for punishing those who harm the little we have to care for. If he ever went after Cissy... he'd be dead. Dead the second it happened. So. If you ever have a plan... you can count me in on it. I'd love to punish him in a way he won't enjoy."

Amycus nodded in acknowledgment of her point. "Of course we are. But I'd rather die than do something to hurt Alecto. Even if it was only in play like Rodolphus claims," he said softly. "And I think that your cousin has more than met the blood traitor requirement. Quite a waste I believe. He has quite a lot of potential when he's being sensible about things," he added.

"I appreciate that my dear. And I trust you know that if he ever did something to Cissy, I would be there to help you make him pay for it" he said, tipping his glass towards her briefly before taking a sip. "We'll have to come up with something rather...inventive to make sure he doesn't enjoy it. I'm sure that won't be a problem for us though," he said with a small smile of his own.

"Enough about that idiot. Tell me what you did to that mudblood. I've been dying to hear about it."

She giggled at his eagerness to hear her tale. "Oh well. You know how Rodolphus completely failed me in the square... but once I got her, no thanks to my worthless cousin~ that's where the fun began."

She sighed, remembering it all very well. Despite the server punishment that she'd received it had all gone very well. "I stunned her then tied her up to a chair. I used cold water to wake her up so we could begin playing. First thing I did was change that dastardly appearance. You've seen what she looks like now...? Yes? Her once long hair now cut short and uneven? Most girl's pride themselves on their appearance. I wanted to take that little pride about herself away."

She wound her hair around one of her fingers. "However... she was disappointing. Passing out whenever suffering too much pain. Weak stupid girl... One curse and she's out. Cutting into her arms and she's out. Worthless little girl... and can you believe how the school loves her!? Makes me sick to my stomach..."

"I hadn't heard anything about that but it doesn't surprise me that Rodolphus did," Amycus told her, settling into his chair to listen to her story.

"I haven't had an opportunity to see her yet. I'm sure whatever you did was an improvement," he told her with a cold smile as he tried to imagine what the girl must look like now.

"I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your plaything more Bella. And they have really made far too much over her. Both when she was in your care and since she returned. It's not like she's anyone who matters or like you killed her. Did you really cut the word mudblood into her arms?" he asked, his interest obvious in his voice as he leaned towards her.

She placed her hands to her lips and nodded, trying to hold back a shriek of laughter. She kicked her feet from under the table excitedly. "I did~" She removed her hands from her mouth, having suppressed her laughter. "Mudblood on one. Up to her shoulder in big letters. Trash on the other. A bit smaller. Something she'll always have as a reminder to herself. I even got her to scream that she was worthless... but I had to wipe her memory after all the fun..."

She pouted a bit and began putting food on her plate. "A shame... but our Lord was not pleased. I did cause a bit of a... scene. We are going to court about it..." She shrugged slightly. "Oh well. Nothing I can't get out of. I'm a Black after all~"

Amycus couldn't help but laugh at the glee he heard in Bella's voice when she was telling him about carving that piece of filth's arms up. "That I would have dearly loved to see," he said, unsurprised at the joy he heard in his voice at the thought. "I must admit to being a bit sorry to have missed out on all the fun," he said a bit regretfully.

He waited until Bella had finished fixing her plate before putting food on his own, careful to avoid making a face at the sight of the burned food and the smell that still lingered somewhat about it. "An unfortunate side effect. Of course you'll get out of it dear. And perhaps that piece of trash, and her friends, will learn their place," he said taking a small bite of his food and washing it down immediately with a sip from his glass.

"I have one small favor to ask you before I tell you what I've been up to. Our deal and all," he told her, after he swallowed. The next time he made plans with Bella for a meal, they were going to a restaurant.

She hummed in agreement. "I'm not worried. If Daddy can't get me out of it, the council is mostly purebloods, and I'm a Black." She laughed softly. "Getting convicted won't happen. Who will believe a bunch of kids. I'd insist she's making up such a silly story.

"A favor...?" She glanced up at him for a moment. "Sure thing. I said I'd help." She jabbed at the food they'd made glad they were both quiet about what they knew was terrible food. "Is it about Rab...?" He'd been mentioned in their conversation earlier. She could only assume that's what this was still about.

"You shouldn't be," Amycus told her, forcing himself to take another bite. "Their entire case rests on the word of a mudblood and a bunch of blood traitors and half-bloods. Who are hardly better than mudbloods themselves," he said, taking a longer drink from his glass. This was definitely the worst meal he'd ever eaten.

"It is. He asked me if I knew anything about the Death Eaters. He wants me to set up a meeting with our Lord for him. I don't have that kind of pull Bella but you do. Rab says he wants to join," he told her looking up and trying to catch her gaze.

"Rab wants to join...?" She sighed and stared at Amycus. "I'll pull the string that need to be pulled for him, but..." Bella tapped her fork on the plate. "I like Rab. Much more than his brother... but... do you think he's cut out for the Death Eaters? Do you really think he can do this?"

She didn't have a lot of faith that the boy could do what she enjoyed doing on a daily basis. That he could do what had to be done against the Mudbloods. While she'd never say it out loud, she worried that he might be walking that dangerous Blood Traitor path. This show of interest was a good sign, but... "But you asked me for a favor, and I'll of course speak to Him about it... but before you ask this of me... are you absolutely certain that Rab can do this...? Is he cut out for us? The punishment for failing. For leaving... this isn't something you can walk away from." The marks on their arms were proof that they were in this forever.

Amycus nodded mutely at Bella's question about Rab wanting to join. She was voicing some of the same concerns that he was having. "I appreciate that Bella. And I'm certain that Rab will also," he said decisively. He thought for a moment before answering Bella's next question.

"I want to say yes. He's my best friend and I want him to be there with me. With us. But I'm not really sure that he can. But he wants to do this Bella," he said, hating himself for the urgent pleading he heard in his voice.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before continuing. "He wants to join Bella. And I'm willing to guarantee that any task he's given is completed," he said, not telling her that he'd do the job himself if he had too.

Bellatrix nodded slightly. "Alright then. If you are sure. Then I will talk to Him and see what I can do. If he wants to join that bad..." She didn't have high hopes in all honesty... but that was for their Lord to decide. Only He could determine if Rab was up for this. And if he wasn't... well...

"You have my word that I will talk to our Lord at the meeting we'll be having soon. And we'll get his started for Rab. It'd be nice to have him join us. I think it'll toughen him up a bit. Perhaps give him some much needed confidence!"

Amycus wished that he could guarantee Bella that he was sure of what he was asking her to do for Rabastan but he couldn't. "Maybe it will," he said softly, picking at his food idly, his thoughts back with Rabastan and his request.

Whether it did or not, Amycus would still stand by his friend and try to protect him. "Shall we change the subject? I'm anxious to get some input from you on my latest project. Well projects now," he told her, wanting to change the subject so that he could focus on anything but all of the things Rodolphus might be doing to tease Rabastan at that moment.

"Yes of course." She smiled at him and set her fork down, lacing her fingers together. "What is this devious plan of yours? I'm quite eager to hear..." No more talk of the Lestrangs was fine with her. Something a bit more sinister and perhaps criminal was right up her alley.

She'd been dying to hear about this. It's why they had this dinner after all. Talks of torturing mudbloods and this plan of his. And she was beyond curious. Even wanted to get in on it if she could!

"Nothing that'll land me in front of the Ministry. Unfortunately. Just a bit of play like I told you," he said, taking another sip of his drink.

He set his fork down beside his plate and looked at her. "Playing with her perceptions. She somehow has the idea that I'm so poor sweet boy stuck in that awful house," he said with a laugh, looking up at Bella with an innocent face. "And now it's grown to include her friends. Choking down my true opinion of them all is going to kill me I'm certain," he added.

She giggled softly. "Oh I see. Mind games are always fun too." She reached for the bottle of whisky and =topped off both their glasses. The food seemed to be inedible. Might as well drink more. "Ha! I'm sure you'll be fine. You seem like someone who can hold their tongue. Unlike me!" She laughed.

"I'd much prefer to actually torture someone. More immediate satisfaction," he said raising his refilled glass to her in a silent toast.

"I even offered my sympathies to that mudblood," he said laughing along with her. "That might have been the hardest part of the whole thing."
