The night washed over the world and turned everything into haunting shadows. There was not a star in sight and even the moon was hiding from view. A rumbling of evil was brewing in the air, causing feeling of fear in most. Most that is, except Bellatrix Black. She lived for moments such as these. The fear fueled her and made her feeling stronger and somehow more superior. She felt alive tonight and wanted to just dance the night away. She only hoped she would not be seen down here since the Forbidden Forest was not the most respected of places. Not that she cared really what others thought. She just did not want to have to answer questions. The place she wanted to go tonight was deep within the trees, possibly to visit her old favourite place, but the exact destination was an open subject. It was one of her favorite places to be anyway, as it had a dark and lingering feeling to it. The feeling seemed to creep up into your very body and rest there. Perhaps it was completely demented, but that was the type of person Bellatrix was.

The soft patter of footsteps could be heard from a long distance away, for it seemed as if the world was at a still. Nothing else in sight was moving, no wind.. Just silence, and loneliness. Calmness.. Perhaps? Not even an animal was disturbed as Miss Black made her way deeper, and deeper into the woodland. So long it had been since she had wandered into such depths... But, for some reason, it felt almost like home, considering she loved the place so dearly. Whatever it was, the Forest seemed to be almost as if a friend.. Even though she gave nothing to it in return for giving her pleasure. But, that is crazy talk! The forest was not a friend of hers, as if in an actual relationship.. But as a friend of nature.. As if Mother Nature herself, was clearly on Bellatrix's side for once. Even though with the exception of the small illness that had caught up with her a long time ago.. Things were better now. Much better...

The teenage girl couldn't think of anything else that she loved to do than to take a night-time stroll through the darkness of the Forbidden Forest. However, this usually meant that her day had been a downfall.. Even though in today's case, it did mean that.. But, at least it wasn't too bad of a day.. Like most times were when she ventured into this place. To be exact, her day couldn't even be classified as bad.. For it was more or less.. Boring.

Bellatrix watched closely as the boy began to stand back up. He had exposed his wand, but she had no fear of it. It wasn’t like he could use it properly anyhow. She wouldn’t be surprised if he hadn’t improved on his wand work since their last meeting.. But there was a small sliver of a chance that he had. Either way, she was completely relaxed about the situation. She knew she could overcome him with much ease.

"You shouldn't be out here, Black,"

At this, the young female laughed. “And what exactly is your excuse, McKinnon?” She asked, twisting her mouth into a disgusted face. It was as if even speaking the name had harmed her in some way.. For her new expression was nowhere near pleasure.

Bellatrix soon began to twirl her wand in between her fingers carelessly. The light from the wand still visible, yet now forming somewhat of an oval in the air as it continued to move around her slender fingers. And only when he took a step back, was when she moved any other part of her body. Her feet took two steps closer to where the boy stood. “Scared, are you?” She taunted, ending with yet another harsh laugh.
