Bellatrix had left the crowded Dinning Hall for the quiet cabin. She sighed happily as she opened the door and found a simple but neat room. There were enough bed for each of the girls, and their trunks were already sitting at the foot of each of their beds. Bella dropped into a wobbly looking chair and leaned her head back, allowing her eyes to shut. The others would be coming shortly and she took in this moment of peace.

Andrea left the dining hall as soon as she was finished with her food. It was disgusting, of course. The hamburger tasted like it had been roasted over a dirty, open fire. Probably on a stick. Yuck. Without paying any attention to her fellow team mates, she tossed her hair over her shoulder and stomped angrily out of the room. Once outside, she had no idea where she was supposed to go, so she took out her wand and used one of the few spells she actually knew: "Point me." Her wand shook slightly, then pointed off to her left. She followed it to a rickety-looking wooden cabin with an ugly picture of an ugly black bird on it. "I'm supposed to stay in that craphole?" she said rudely. "This sucks." She walked over and went into the cabin and saw Bellatrix sitting there. "I demand a better room," she said. "Preferably a private one."

Bella's eyes opened when she heard the screech that was Andrea's complaints. Without lifting her head from it's position she said, "you can demand all you want. You're not going anywhere. Now shut up and let me be."

Andrea rolled her eyes. "You can't like it any better than I do. And you're just gonna tell me to shut up? Some leader you're turning out to be. I have serious doubts about the safety of this so-called building. What if it falls down around us while we're sleeping?"

This girl was beginning to annoy her and she finally lifted her head and made eye contact with her. "If the building kills you, it saves me from doing it." Bellatrix stood up from her chair and walked toward Andrea. "Don't question my leadership abilities."

"Hmph!" said Andrea angrily. "Fine, then. But I will be complaining about this to my parents." She folded her arms across her chest and flopped down on the bed closest to the door. "At least if I'm over here, I'm closest to the exit."

Bellatrix laughed at the girl's attitude. She reminded Bella of herself at that age, and was thankful she had grown out of that stage...or at least thought she had. Bellatrix returned to her chair and smirked, leaning her head back again and shutting her eyes. "Yes, close to the door where the wild animals will come in. Excellent thinking Andrea darling."

Andrea jumped up. "Wild animals?" she screeched. "What kind of wild animals?"

Bellatrix laughed at the girl's idiotic reaction. She hadn't really thought Andrea would be so easily scared. "Oh, there's all sorts of horrible beasties out there. That's why Dumbledore wants older students in charge. To ensure none of you ickle first years try to be brave and get torn to shreds."

"Ew!" Andrea huffed. "I knew this stupid place wasn't safe... wild animals, crappy run-down shacks, all these stupid trees... I wish my stupid parents hadn't made me come here." She flopped down on the bed with her arms crossed. "Why are you here, anyway? You graduated already, and you're from a good family. You could be doing something much better with your summer than hanging out at this craphole." She didn't want to say it, but she secretly admired Bellatrix Black and wanted to be more like her.

Bellatrix brought her hands up to her head and began rubbing her temples. Andrea was starting to give her a headache. "Remind me to get you a thesaurus so you can learn a new word for 'stupid'," Bella muttered at the child. Sometimes she forgot how hard it was to be Andrea's age, and Bellatrix showed the girl no sympathy.
"Not that it's really any of your business, but I'm here for personal reasons. It's just your dumb luck that you get to spend time with me this summer before you are forced to return to that school. Leave the matter at that." Bella's mother had actually lectured her on her lack of people skills late in the spring term and pushed this Summer Camp on her as a way to better educate Bellatrix in the ways of polite socializing. The Blacks were a very respectable family and while they were mostly all as adamant about blood status as Bella, some of them carried themselves better than she.

Andrea huffed. "Whatever. Like I care anyway." She glared at the older girl a minute longer, then she picked up her knapsack and began rooting through it. She was horrified that she was only permitted to bring what could fit in a knapsack, but was glad that her parents had bought her a magic knapsack that would fit as much as a trunk, but without the weight. She took out her doll, Fiona, and sullenly began brushing the doll's ragged blonde hair.

Bella watched Andrea with her doll for a moment before getting up and walking to the door. She leaned against the door frame and stared out at the rest of the campground.

Andrea glared at the older girl once more, then set her doll carefully on the bed. "I don't know where those other losers are that are supposed to be in here, but I'm going to get changed and go to bed. It's not like I want to talk to them anyway." She gathered up her pajamas and went into the adjoining bathroom.

Bella gave a half hearted sort of nod to Andrea and continued to stare out the door. They would come when they were done with dinner. No one in their right mind would cock up the first night of camp.
After a few uneventful minutes Bella turned back into the cabin and looked around. Andrea was right, there was nothing special about the place. Finding nothing of interest on the walls or on the mantel, Bellatrix moved over to Andrea's bed and picked up the doll she had been playing with. She had a poppet very similar to this when she was younger. The memory of it annoyed Bella and she tossed the doll back onto the bed haphazardly and returned to the doorway.
She could see the other campers beginning to head back to their cabins and knew it wouldn't be long before it was lights out. That was when she would be able to sneak out and meet her friends in the woods. No one in their right mind would cock up on the first night of camp...and Bella certainly wasn't in her right mind.
