Hey Everyone! I know you are all probably waiting for an update on "Little Doe" and I promise the story has not been abandoned! I'm just having really bad writers block with it, but rest assured I know where I want it to go and how I want it to progress, I just need to get it there XD

Until then, I'm just going to dabble with this story to get the creative juices flowing once more! This will be sorta AU, Snape is Headmaster because Dumbledore is dead AND because Voldemort won the war already. Bellatrix will be OOC cause I want this story to be kinda fluffy lol but she will still be intense and dark and sexy and everything Bellatrix Lestrange :D

Disclaimer: I do not own anything Harry Potter, that all belongs to J.K. Rowling! I do however own the characters Kate McCormick, and Liliya Blackwell.

Enjoy! Reviews are welcome and greatly appreciated!

The train bumped against the track Liliya pulled out her school schedule once more as she ignored the voices of conversation in the background. She scanned over her class list and the Professors enlisted to teach them; they were almost all completely different now. Dumbledore was dead. Severus Snape was now headmaster, and everything was to be different.

Everything.

It was the Study of Dark Arts now. No more defending it, now they were learning it. Along with dueling, advanced potions, healing, but some of the other original classes remained. She scanned through the Professors once again, Malfoy and Carrow. Her eyes stopped as she came upon the name Lestrange. She looked up and over to her cabin mate on her right; Draco Malfoy. Liliya knew that his aunt was becoming a Professor, but the family hadn't seen her in some time. As she turned her attention back to the parchment in front of her she noticed that Rodolphus would be teaching as well. Death Eaters were now teaching at Hogwarts.

With a deep sigh she lifted her head as she folded back up the parchment and shoving it in her robe pocket. As Liliya gazed out the window she knew her last year at Hogwarts was going to be different.

Much different.

…

Before the feast began all the students listened to the new Headmaster, Severus Snape, introduce the newest Professors and give a very grim speech to indicate the resume of the school year.

Happy that all of that was done, Liliya and her Slytherin classmates began to dig into the rich food in front of them.

"Profesoor Lestrange is HOT" Her best friend Kate leaned in and whispered, "Seriously look at him!"

Liliya turned her attention to the teacher's table but her eyes didn't seek out the same Professor Lestrange but rather his female counter part.

Bellatrix.

She felt an elbow dig into her side and turned her attention back to Kate.

"What was that for?!" She asked as she rubbed her side.

"I said look him not her!" Kate giggled but noticing how her friend averted her eyes and hung her head low, "Liliya look at me … I told you I didn't care that you like girls … I still don't. Or should I say woman in this case!"

Kate winked and laughed again as she watched the girl next to her blush. Liliya let out a tiny chuckle of her own as she scooped some more food onto her plate. As she finished serving herself she felt something odd, like the sensation of someone staring at her. She looked directly over to the teacher's table once more and was met with the intense gaze of the dark woman she had looked at earlier … Bellatrix Lestrange.

…

Bellatrix was glancing around the Great Hall looking at all of the students eating, and she smiled with pride as she set her onyx eyes on the Slytherin table. She saw her nephew smiling and chatting with friends and noticed two girls sitting across from him, one was blushing as the other laughed. She watched the scene play in front of her as she studied the two girls, but one in particular.

The girl that seemed to capture her attention was smaller, almost reminding Bellatrix of a pixie. She had long hair down to the middle of her back that laid in large soft curls unlike the unruly tight ringlets that sat atop her own head; the curls were coffee brown color with shades of red intertwined. She watched as the girl delicately placed food on her plate with her small and nimble hands. As Bellatrix continued to stare and study the girl she noticed how the Slytherin became aware of the action and turned her own head to meet the very gaze of Bellatrix Lestrange.

Those eyes, Bellatrix thought to her self as those ice blue orbs seemed to draw the dark witch in even more. The ice blue continued to stare into the cosmic black before turning her face away to hide the reddening cheeks. Bellatrix cocked her head to the side as she saw the red highlights in the girl's hair become brighter and more dominate, Metamorphmagus? And her question was confirmed as she watched the girl lightly shake her head and send the hair back to its coffee brown color.

What a very interesting girl we have here, Bellatrix thought to herself as she formed a half smile before being pulled back into conversation by a fellow teacher.

…

Get ahold of yourself! She scolded to herself.

Kate Noticing her friend's brightening hair leaned in, "Are you alright?" she whispered.

"Yeah .. Fine" Liliya answered softly running her hand through her now darkening hair.

No one except Kate and Draco knew about her rare abilities and Liliya very much preferred to keep it that way. It slipped out every now and then; her feelings reflected in her hair much to dismay. Once she remembered being so sad that her hair actually turned a deep shade of blue, she skipped classes that whole week until her hair turned back. She already had trouble making and keeping friends in her Hogwarts house because of her blood status and she didn't want to give them all something else to tease her about. She was lucky enough to have two very good friends that watched out for her, Kate and the one and only Draco Malfoy. Liliya looked across the table and noticed Draco trying not to laugh too loud as he looked at her.

"What?!" She asked frantically.

"Your hair," he chuckled some more, "It's turning pink on the left side!"

Kate leaned forward to see the other side of her friend's head as Liliya looked down and saw the pink herself, gasping at the bright color.

"You know what this means Draco! Liliya has a crush on someone!" Kate exclaimed to the small group.

As Liliya fought to hide the brightening pink strip of hair, Kate watched as Draco pressed the smaller girl for details. Kate smiled a knowing smile at who had captured her attention, This is going to be a fun year, she thought to herself as her smile widened.
