Bellatrix hurried through the corridors, then only stopped for a brief knock and a quick magical probe to make sure the man she meant to meet was, indeed, inside and alone, before tearing the door open, entering, then slamming it shut behind her. She looked at the man, briefly wondering how to address him. His father had been very fickle about being called Tom anywhere but between the sheets. She opted for safety, considering her rude entrance. “My Lord, I am immensely sorry for my entering in such manner. When I came here, I said I was here to do something for you. Now, regrettably, I must ask you to do something for me.” She took a deep breath, attempting to calm her hammering heart. “Draco came to see me an hour ago. He said he was here to tie up some loose ends, because he wants to start a new life. I...I really don't agree with his plans, and I doubt you would want your younger brother to persue the kind of life Draco is choosing."
She paused. “And I…I’m not ready to lose him again, after just finding him.”
Bellatrix hesitated, not sure if Donovan might be offended by her next offer. "If you are willing, I would replay my conversation with Draco in your mind, through Legilimency." She paused again. "I'm desperate. And begging you to help me." Astonished, she felt a pearly tear fall from her left eye and slowly travel down her cheek.

Without wanting to say it out loud, Donovan was glad to see his brother alive and well, for the most part. Hiding out takes a lot of self control, it wasn't as if they could go with friends or family, they weren't fully able to get out into the world just yet. But seeing Draco, it made Donovan feel a little more at ease about things. At least until Bellatrix came running into the room, he turned to her, eyes narrowed for only a moment, seeing her distress made him more wary.
He didn't trust her when she came to headquarters, and now she was asking for favors the very next time they're speaking. "And what is that you are asking for?" Donovan was looking over the older women, he wondered then it had to with his mother. He knew the two used to be close at one time. Feeling his own heart speed up at Draco's name. Tie up loose ends? New life? What the hell was she talking about?
"What the hell are you talking about? Draco isn't going anywhere. He's safe here..He's.." Donovan let a sigh, to calm himself before he just blew up yelling at the already upset woman. Pulling out his wand, he pointed it at his aunt, "Shields down." He commanded her, casting the spell to look into her mind. "Legilimens!

A quiet knock sounded on Bellatrix’s room. “Come in,” she called, not bothering to look up from her book. The door opened, closed, followed by hesitant steps toward her. Finally curious, she looked up. “Draco!” In an instant, she was on her feet and had taken two steps in his direction, stopping just inches away from him. Relief and surprise flooded through her. “Bellatrix,” he breathed. “It’s true. You really are alive.” “Very much so,” she grinned. “Thanks to dear Cissy.” They silently looked into each other’s eyes, both not speaking. Then, they started at once. “I…” “You…” They chuckled. “You go first.” Bellatrix decided. “I…I came to apologize. You know how much I always wanted to become a Death Eater, and how hard it was on me when I finally had my first assignment. In the battle, when Harry turned out to be alive, I just panicked. And followed mother and father.” Blue eyes searched brown ones, looking for an emotion. Bellatrix’s face was soft, no anger or hurt anywhere to be found. “I know your reasons. And more seasoned men fled that battle. I was hurt, yes. But I know it wasn’t personal. I’m just glad you didn’t die that night.” “Believe me, I’m glad you didn’t die.” He smiled warmly at her. “What did you want to say when we both started talking at once?” “You came here with a reason.” she said, curiously. “Yes, I did. To tie up loose ends. I…plan to make certain…changes in my life soon, and I want to start my new life with as little as possible weighing me down from my past.” Bellatrix narrowed her eyes. “And what kind of new life would that be?” “I…I’m not sure I should talk about it.” She shrugged, “It’s your decision. I’m only curious, love.” Softly, she stroked his arm, looking into his eyes. “You used to share an awful lot with me. You seem to have changed your mind about that.” “What? No! But, Bella, I thought you were dead.” “But I’m not. I’m very, very much alive, darling,” she whispered into his ear, her dark curls tickling his neck. “Thank Merlin,” he breathed. “So what are you planning to do with your life?” she asked, still whispering into his ear. “I’ll tell you, but don’t laugh, okay?” “I promise I won’t.” “I…want to be a vampire.” Bellatrix swallowed hard, reigning in her temper as much as she possibly could. “And how will you accomplish that?” “You know there’s a vampire living with us. I asked her to change me some time back, and now she has agreed.” Bellatrix slowly began massaging Draco’s shoulders, contemplating what she’d just heard and how she’d handle the situation. “Love, I really wish you wouldn’t go through with this vampire thing.” “Why not?” “For one thing, I find red eyes a bit creepy.” Draco laughed, sounding surprised. “YOU seriously find something creepy?” “Yes, I do. And those pointy teeth aren’t all that pretty, either.” “I find Maria quite stunning.” “Do you?” “Yes.” Draco watched Bellatrix carefully. “I want you to be happy, dragon. Truly happy. If it lies in being a vampire, you’ll just have to go through with it.” He was silent for a moment. “Do you care for me, Bellatrix?” She smiled at him. “The answer is still the same, dragon. With everything that I am.” Anguished, he ran his hands through his hair, messing it up completely. “I have to go, Bella.” With that, he was out the door. After a while, she laid her head on her hands and succumbed to the tears.

Pulling back from his aunt's mind, Donovan's rage was growing quickly, Draco was really going to turn his back on them? He was going to walk away? Donovan was angry, but he was beyond that, he was loosing his little brother to some vampire thing. Over his dead body. "No. As simple as that. No. I will talk to Draco." Donovan nearly hissed, he looked over the older women in front of him, raising an eyebrow, Draco never once expressed a closeness to their Aunt, at least none that Donovan could see. "You and my brother are close then? Since when?" Donovan turned to grill her, he wasn't open to the idea that Draco had more secrets like this.
He wanted this Maria found, killed for manipulating his brother like this. "How dare you encourage this anyway?! You come to me to fix something he thinks you're okaying anyway? You are a women known for many things, and you couldn't so much as tell him no?" Donovan wasn't really blaming Bellatrix in his head, he did know that she didn't want Draco to be turned, but she was in front of him. In his anger, he didn't care who got the wrath of it all. "Where is Draco now?" Donovan would be keeping a much closer eye on his younger brother, while he went out and looked for this blood sucking bitch who dared think about turning his brother.
"Understand that this is not for you, this is my younger brother, whatever relationship you two have, didn't help this situation. If anything, when I find him, it will have made it worse. Because you bloody told him to go ahead and do it! Become a bloody...Get out." Donovan finally ended his speech, "Get the bloody fuck out! And if Draco is already turned by the time I find him...Merlin, you better pray I don't find you dear Aunt." While Bellatrix was older then him, Donovan had been doing this since he would talk, he had nothing to fear going up against his aunt. They were not close, his mother may love this women, Draco might even, but Donovan saw a snake. Because why else would she tell Draco if it makes you happy and Donovan turns around and puts his foot down, Donovan is the only bad guy.

Bellatrix steadily met Donovan's eye. "Why Draco and I are close is really none of your business. But before you burst a blood vessel: When he was sixteen, I was the one appointed to train him to become a Death Eater. Before that, we didn't really know each other, since I spent most of his life locked up in Azkaban." She paused, remebering, searching for the right words. "Draco didn't really want to become a Death Eater, he was offered by Lucius in order to get the Malfoy family back into your father's good graces. Training him was hard work, since Hogwarts barely teaches anything of use. We spent very much time together, and talked. He dearly loves his mother, as I'm sure you know, but he felt very much under pressure to always please her. And Lucius pressured him as well. He had no one to confide in, and turned to me almost instantly. We pretty much just hit off. I did everything I could to prepare him for what was to come, and to help him find his way as a teen in a tough world. Draco trusts me very much. Narcissa became a bit jealous of our connection, that's probably why she didn't tell Draco I had survived."
"Encourage it???" Bellatrix didn't even try to conceal her rage. "I did no such thing! I told him I wish he wouldn't go through with it...but I do want him to be happy. Anyway, I know how Draco thinks. If I had told him outright not to do it, he wouldn't have listened. But he will think about me not wanting him with red eyes and pointy teeth." She forced herself to calm down and breathed deeply. "I believe Draco is still here, he said he wanted some time alone, but wouldn't leave without seeing you. He said he'd take a walk outside."
Bellatrix bristled. "There is no need to tell me how much you dislike me every time you see me," she sneered, venom dripping from each word. "I have quite understood this. Seeing that I've done nothing to harm you, you might take a moment to reconsider, especially seeing how diminished your ranks are." She turned to leave, stopping at the door and turning her head to look at Donovan. "I do not fear you, Donovan. You may be Lord Voldemort's son, but compared to your father, you are just a little kitten, eager to play with a ball of yarn. I doubt you'd see the daylight, should we ever go up against each other." She left, closing the door with a bang.
Outside, she paused for a moment. 'One down, one to go', she thought to herself.

"You understand this?! Do you now?" Donovan narrowed his eyes, raising his voice again, "You wouldn't have come back if you even remotely understood. I do not trust you. You or my mother anymore. Because in case, you haven't bloody realized, the dark lord is DEAD! No thanks to you, my mother or people you guys trusted. You have no respect for the cause or for anything other than yourself." Donovan was furious! He wanted to bring his brother in here by his ears and lock him up somewhere that he knew would keep his brother away from whatever bloody vampire.
Rage building inside of him, every blood time he thought things were going well, he turned out very very wrong! "I do not care if you fear me. You will either obey, die, or leave. I do not care. As for your relationship with my brother, you think I care? Do you honestly think I give a bloody fuck about who you confined your feelings to? You told him if he's happy being a bloody vampire, to go right ahead!" How dare this women even try to pull this with him? If she wanted out, then she was more than welcome to leave. Donovan didn't want her here to begin with. If his mother, was not his mother, he wouldn't have let her back in his life either.
As soon Bellatrix finished her sentence, Donovan acted without a second though, back handing the older Death Eater with a loud smack"You wanted to be a Death Eater bitch, act like one. Like it or not, Dark Lord's son or not, your mark was done with blood magic. The more you doubt me, the harder this will be." Donovan wasn't insane, he wasn't fully gone, with his soul still intact, he was angry and scared out of his mind for younger brother. He would have to talk to him.
Wanting to go after her as he saw Bellatrix's retreating back, he only watched. He didn't know if he what he was going to do with Draco. Because that was Donovan's best friend, he had always thought him a Draco were close, now this happening. It hurt him. More than he wanted it to. Why would Draco turn his back on him?
