North Tower

[Draco Malfoy]

The tower to the North for a different view of the grounds (Former area for Professor Trelawney).

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

Rodolphus moved over to the window and leaned against its frame. Looking out over the grounds of the school, his eyes seemed distant looking back on memories. He wished that Bella was here, that certainly would have made staying at the school much more enjoyable.

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto entered the tower, her gaze on the man looking out at the grounds. "Feeling lonesome Dolph?"

She had, of course seen him headed this way as she finished up terrifying a worthless first year. Her curiosity got the best of her and she headed here as soon as she was done. It would help if it wasn't still so bloody attractive. If the years in Azkaban had emaciated him to the point of looking more sickly than sexy as they had done Sirius Black. Yet, it seemed, he at least physically, thrived in the place.

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

"I still feel isolated." Rodolphus answered not taking his eyes from the grounds. "It seems like i traded one stone room for another, slightly less depressing one."

He turned to face her. "You look as striking as ever Alecto." He complimented her. "It seems the years have been good to you."

[Alecto Carrow]

"Now, now..." the woman said softly, coming up behind him and sliding her hands up his shoulders as she came to a halt at his back. "You traded a stone room for a stone castle you're free to roam." When he turned to face her she did allow for a small step back, her dark eyes glittered at him "Of course I do? Did you expect less?" she said smoothly before moving so that she was leaning against the stone of the ledge and his tall form. "You... look tired..." she said slowly, lifting a hand to trace the circle under his right eye.

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

Rodolphus smiled and leaned into her touch. "I am." He said. "Azkaban did leave its mark on me." He pointed out. "Even if it isn't as visible as the others."

"I know i can roam, its just i feel a little lost." He told her his eyes sliding closed. "So many things have changed, yet stayed the same. I don't know how to explain it."

[Alecto Carrow]

"Well... try?" she asked, running a single finger along his jaw line.

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

Roldolphus leaned his head back and sighed. Tilting it forward his eyes opened and he looked into her own. "I feel as though I have been wasting away, doing nothing." He said. "My mind just feels idle after all of the self examination and meditation while i was in prison. I need something to do, something to keep me occupied. More than teaching, more than just being here." He paused and shrugged. "If that makes any sense at all."

[Alecto Carrow]

"Hmm… well when you say it like that… there are just a plethora of options. I mean… lots can keep you occupied Dolph. For instance… a hobby? How's your artwork? Or a good pillage or village burn… or… things your *wife* *should* be doing… speaking of her, where is she?" Alecto leaned back a bit on her hands though her body was shifted closer to him.

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

A small smile graced his face at her actions, her words causing his eyes to flicker with desire briefly. "Do we have a raid planned that I am unaware of?" he asked when she mentioned the pillage and burn. "Or are you suggesting that we plan one?" he added and sighed at the mention of his wife.

"Bellatrix is with The Dark Lord, as is her rightful place." he said, a touch of bitterness showing for a half a second in his voice. "I doubt she will be gracing the school with her presence any time soon, she has more important things to be dealing with."

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto smirked "Like simpering beneath the Dark Lords robes?"

At his look she held up both hands "Hey, don't shoot the messenger. Your wife doesn't *exactly* know the meaning of discretion... I... however..."

She left the statement hanging her gaze flicking over his face and a subtle smirk pulling at her lips.

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

"Bellatrix never was subtle." He agreed, before a smile curled his lips. "Are you suggesting a bit of discretion on both our parts?" He asked his eyes lighting up, showing his interest j that idea. After all Alecto was a beautiful woman, and his feeling for her had not changed over the years.

[Alecto Carrow]

"Perhaps..." Alecto said slowly, her hand lifted to play with the neck of his robe. "If you know how to practice some of that discretion your wife lacks..."

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

Now that was a tempting offer. Rodolphus's breath hitched lightly at her suggestion. She was a stunningly beautiful woman and he had missed her terribly while in Azkaban. Looking into her eyes he turned to face her fully. "Oh I can be very as discreet as you wish." he said before reaching up to caress her cheek, his hand sliding down across her shoulder to the back of her neck as he leaned in to capture her lips in a kiss.

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto kissed him back, though her lips curved into a smile. That was much easier than she'd thought, but then again Bella wasn't around screaming like a shrew. Oh, don't be mistaken, she was still furious with him for the way he'd treated her. However she'd never been one to let her emotions stand in the way of her desires, she left that to Amycus. She'd make him pay in her own time...

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

Rodolphus broke this kiss after a few moments and looked into her eyes. "You are quite the temptress." he said with a fond smile gracing his lips. He knew he played a dangerous game with that kiss, between his wife who was certifiably insane, and Alecto, who was a vicious as can be, he had to be very careful. He knew Alecto did nothing without a reason, he just hoped the one behind this was less harmful, though he doubted it.

[Alecto Carrow]

"Yes well we each have our talents," Alecto said tilting her head slightly, causing her hair to fall over her shoulder.

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

"I forgot how beautiful you are." Rodolphus said and ran a hand through her hair.

[Alecto Carrow]

"How stupidly unobservant of you," Alecto remarked dryly with a subtle smile.

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

"It is coming back to me now." Rodolphus replied easily his eyes taking in her appearance once again.

[Alecto Carrow]

"Slowly?" she asked dryly, raising a brow.

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

"Oh bit by bit." he replied leaning in to steal another kiss. "I might need a bit more reminding though." he added with a smile.

[Alecto Carrow]

She caught his chin in one hand and offered a sweet smile "I'll be happy to help."

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

Rodolphus looked into her eyes a smile playing on his lips as well. "I look forward to your lessons." he told her as he brought his hand up to run through her hair and come to rest on the back of her neck.

[Alecto Carrow]

She shifted, easily dancing out of his reach "Remember you said that…"

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

Rodolphus smiled. "I won't forget it." he told her, knowing that this could go several different ways. "I remember now, that you so enjoyed teasing me." he stated, his eyes filled with desire, mischief, and a small amount of madness that was rarely seen in his eyes since he was released from Azkaban.

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto rose a brow "Anything else you remember?"

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

"That you are an amazing lover." Rodolphus replied. "And very passionate when you choose to be."

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto eyed him "Is that all? Such a male response…"

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

"Oh, that is just the start." Rodolphus replied. "You are ruthless when you want to be, charming at times." He added. "Your intelligence shines through when you let it."
