Quarante-et-un

After the note incident in Paris, Victor could hardly believe she had to sacrifice her own love to keep them safe, for him that was the greatest gift of love anybody could bring. He wasn't sad, nor upset. He just wished to see her face again, and for them to be a family.

Noelle, now, was fifteen. Enrolled into the Beauxbatons, like her parents had planned.
She looked like her mother, but with her fathers fair skin.

By this time, Lord Voldemort had rose into power. With his loyal deatheaters and their dark mark. Everyone feared Lord Voldemort, including her.

She was very keen to know who her mother was. All Victor told her, was that she went to Hogwarts. So her mission was to go there.

When she did, it was the triwizard tournament, still at fifteen, fourth years and up was eligible to go. So when she arrived, Noelle was ecstatic. It was way less modern than Beauxbatons for sure, but more welcoming.

When she was doing the typical Beauxbatons dance in the Great Hall, it was a tradition, Noelle didn't mind. But her eyes met a boy her age. He followed her movements like a hawk, when the dance was finished, they had to sit at the Ravenclaw table, as they were blue. The Durmstrang, was at the green table, where the boy was from, Slytherin.

Noelle couldn't be more curious to find who this person was, he had curly-ish dark hair, very prominent cheekbones and almost looked like a french. Or maybe he was one. He had a sad like element with some beautiful sleep like eyes.

When the beautiful dinner was finished, despite people trying to talk to Noelle, as she didn't have to typical, french features and stuck out like a sore thumb, just like her mother.

The Professors, however, did notice Noelle. Especially Dumbledore, who was eager to talk to the girl. But all the girls eyes lingered back to was that boy. He was quiet, almost looking as if the world was on his shoulders.

Noelle was following all the other Beauxbatons to their carriage, which was their sleeping quarters, amazing that you can do with magic. It was outside and a few years away from Hagrid's hut.

At twilight, Noelle being Noelle decided to sneak out. She wanted to explore the castle, she only took this as a chance to find who her mother was. If she were bad or good.

She rushed in and managed to keep out of the patrollers away. She climbed a few steps and found herself on some sort of tower overlooking the Forbidden Forest.

She found a shadow there, who turned around holding his wand up.

"Hey hey! Put that wand down, it's only me" Noelle smiled

"It's you" he looked at her

He was ethereal. She had never been intrigued by somebody before.

"You're that boy from dinner, weren't you?" Noelle answered

He nodded.

"I wanted to introduce myself, but time was short" he slightly laughed

"Why are you here alone?" Noelle looked around

"I like to be alone, you see I'm not a good person in people's eyes, especially my brothers eyes" he hung his head

"I think you are great." Noelle complimented with honesty

"You're the only one, other than all my other friends. Who are on the quidditch team" he smiled

"I've never played quidditch, is it fun?" Noelle looked at the dark forest

"It is, but dangerous. Wouldn't want that pretty face to get ruined" he taunted

"I'm more than meet the eye...sorry but what is your name" Noelle raised her eyebrows

"Regulus. Regulus Arcturus Black." He shook her hand

She felt warmth. He must so too.

"You said you had a brother, where is he?" She looked around

"In the Gryffindor common room probably, who cares. He's just lousy pulling pranks with his amazing friends" a hint of jealousy in his voice

"But does he have a friend like me? No. So cheer up, Regulus." She laid a hand on his arm

For the first time Regulus felt like he had somebody to turn to.

"What's your name?" He finally asked

"Noelle Moncoufere." Noelle curtsy's

"No need to curtsy" he laughed at her

"Oh but we are taught a lady should." Noelle she folded her arms

"Why'd you want to come here?" Regulus asked

"To find out more of my mother, who left when I was young. Father never told me. So I thought I'd come here" she shrugged

"Who is your mum?" The boy turned to her

"Avella Atria Lestrange." Noelle played with her hands

"I've seen a photo of her somewhere. Talk to Profsssor Slughorn if you want the best advice, she was here in Slytherin, that's all I'm told. Our family knew of the Lestrange family. But they were always very private." Regulus told her

"Well, Regulus. I'll be off now" Noelle smiled

Regulus watched her leave. She was the only one who made his heart turn. But he shut it down. He wanted to tackle Voldemort. Destroy him. But first, he needed to join the dark side, but he has to wait. He doesn't know what he'll get himself I to.

Noelle was there. He felt a sense of comfort. Her beautiful features. Could it be possible to have a love?
