His footsteps were almost silent in the dark corridors; he had to be unseen and unheard, though he felt sure the pounding in his chest would alert people to his presence. The risk of being caught breaking the school rules was exciting, but his real motivation for taking the risk of walking the corridors this late at night was taking her in his arms again. He knew if he was expelled from Hogwarts, he wouldn't see her for a long time, but Lucius had to see Bella in private and now, he yearned for her.<|im_end|>
Bellatrix made sure that everyone in the girls' dormitory was fast asleep, so as not to be caught sneaking out. After all, nobody would say anything about it if they saw her; they loved, feared, and envied her. Bellatrix seemed to always break rules, but was hardly ever caught. Hurrying through the corridors in her heels, she was as silent as a shadow, so used to walking in them, and sneaking around. Her parents would be furious if they knew their oldest daughter was lurking and moving in secret, in the dead of night, just to meet up with a boy. But he wasn't any boy - he was the most handsome boy in all of Hogwarts, and he was hers, he was her Lucius...Lucius Malfoy. She needed to see him, they didn't see each other enough during the day. Just thinking of him sent her heart soaring, higher than the sun. Her breathing was shaky as she looked for him, heading to their meeting place.<|im_end|>
