Thinking

Zoe didn't trust being around Bellatrix, even though she was wandless. Zoe drew her wand from her pocket, and aimed it at the girl, in case she needed to defend herself.
 
"Ms. Weasley, put your wand away please." Professor King requested, his eyes focused on Bellatrix, "It is not needed at this time."
 
Zoe did as she was told, and put it back into her pocket, but she kept her hand on her wand in it, just in case she needed it. Bellatrix was a tricky girl they wer dealing with, and if she gets hold of a wand, that could be bad.
 
Unable to keep her mouth shut, Estrella piped, "So, what are you going to do if she steals your wand, Professor King? Should Zoe be subject to her curses to?"

Man, I'm in for it, she thought, grimacing, the words already having slipped out of her mouth.
 
Zoe couldn't help but grin at what Estrella had said, though she had to hide her emotions right away, in case the professor saw. She admired Estrella for her guts, and bravery in front of the professor.
 
"Supposing Bellatrix manages to take hold of my wand, Ms. Drage, I can use wandless magic to return it to me. If this fails by some stretch of the imagination, I have a staff that will allow me to channel my magic more powerfully through it." he stated calmly.
 
Estrella looked back to Zoe, her expression slightly amused. This was all becoming a joke, in her opinion. However, she was all out of smart aleck comments, and sat back.
 
Noticing Estrella's amused expression Professor King grimaced, he did not like the way she was behaving towards him, considering how calm he was being, and how understanding he was being and had been towards her in the past. Now he was almost regretting teaching her anything privatly. 'I really don't deserve this he told himself, but shrugged it off, he could not allow some snide child to annoy him.
 
Bellatrix gasped when she was released from her confiding charms. She quickly pulled her sleeve down putting her arm around the mark as if to protect it. "How dare you!" she screeched breathlessly. "That is my own personal business!" Her breath was quick and loud. She had fear in her eyes. What now?...
 
" I dare because I can." Professor King stated, "Now why did you confront Ms. drage?" he asked, his wand never moving from it's aim at her throat.
 
Zoe looked at Estrella, and gave her a quick smile in the corner of her mouth, then looked at bellatrix as her immobilized body got movement once again, and she began to rant about the 'dark mark'.
 
Estrella sat back quietly as Bellatrix attempted to explain herself. She wanted to say something, but out of the calm respect and attentiveness that everyone else had given her opinion, even thought they though it was misjudged, she kept her mouth shut.
 
She knew that it was true. He was a Professor and had all the right to notice some secrets about a student. She glanced down at the wand at her throat. "I believe I simply think that is my own business!"
 
As the others spoke, Courtney listened to them intently. She sided with Estrella, of course, but did not want to cause a scene with one of the professors. She rolled her eyes as she heard Bellatrix speak.
 
"Alright then Ms. Green, I simply thought you might want to explain why you cast so many unforgivable curses, and why you have the dark mark on your forearm, but if not that is fine. I will leave the ministry to deal with you however they see fit. Perhaps you will meet your old friend the dementor again?" Professor King stated as he started to lower his wand, hoping to strike a nerve but showing nothing.
 
"Deserved it?" Estrella mouthed to Courtney and Zoe, but snapped it shut again, allowing Bellatrix to talk.
 
Zoe listened as Bellatrix spoke, earned the dark mark? what could she have done other than kill people to deserve it? Zoe wondered to herself, and gave the other two girls a confused look.
 
Bellatrix Green said:
"I cast the curses because she deserved it and I have the mark because I have earned it!"

"How did Ms. Drage deserve those curses?" Professor King inquired, "Also how have you earned a life of sorrow? Of suffering? Of loss? That is exactly what you signed up for by recieving that mark. A life of no happiness, a life in azkaban where the Dementors will feed off your soul and tourment you for all of your life."
 
"I simply mentioned family to her and she got mad. A few more words and information was tossed around and I guess it ended up into this." she said stately. Then she began to think about the mark and the Dementors. On how the Professor described it all. "I have had sorrow and loss all my life. This is nothing new....." she stated sadly. She staggered thinking about the Dementors. Her mind screaming in fear.
 
Zoe was curious on how Bellatrix claimed she 'earned' the dark mark, so she spoke up, and hoped not to upset anyone. "But how did you earn the dark mark?" She said in a calm voice.
 
Estrella glared at Bellatrix. She wanted to tell the Professor how Bella had really earned it, by simply stealing a letter, and that the death eaters just did it to get her out of the way. But she wouldn't say anything.
 
"So different things other than the things we do know, such as killing people and such. Am I right?" She asked in a soft voice, for some reason getting more and more curious.
