Bellatrix normally did not fall for anyone's pouting act - not even Roddy's, when she was angry enough at him. She was the queen of holding a grudge and not caring about anyone. Only a few people were exceptions, namely her boyfriend and her sister. But this strange man was having an odd effect on her, and she felt a tinge of regret at his words.
"Fine, I didn't mean to be rude," she said a little more gently, waving a hand as if trying to wave all of her previous actions away. "I suppose you just startled me, is all." She still wondered who he was but supposed it did not really matter. He was probably just bored and up to no good, like her. That was all right with her, as long as he did not try anything stupid.
