“I believe it’s more so that we’re kept in here to prevent the rest of the dunderheads from meeting the same fate.”

“Disappointing -- and while I do so love the fear you can taste in the air, it’s getting rather boring, wouldn’t you say?”

[beastiebellatrix-blog]

"Oh, boohoo. Are we doomed to be locked away because some silly little girl was stupid enough to get herself into trouble?” 

[beastiebellatrix-blog]

"Everything you've told me was a lie!"

“Oh, you naive little girl.” 

Bellatrix had never experienced disgust with her sister – that emotion was wasted on their other sister, so far away from the Dark Lord’s reach among her werewolves and mudbloods. Cissy had always been her little sister and her shining jewel. This was betrayal. ( She brought this on herself, Bellatrix. You cannot fault yourself for what you must do. ) Bellatrix stepped forward, blank expression on her face beyond the faint stir of anger burning in her eyes.

“Everything I told you was the truth; they’ve just corrupted you beyond that now. Goodbye, Cissy.”

there are wolves in the night. the soldiers would say that when i was a girl, my uncles and brothers, in war. my friends, raising me on battlefield because there was nowhere else to go. there are wolves, they would say. and there are stories about wolves and girls. girls in red, all alone in the woods, about to get eaten up. wolves and girls both have sharp teeth.

Charlie got up, taking a few steps closer to Bellatrix. “Dumbledore is not a fool. Even the so called you-know-who is about as powerful as a fifth year close to Dumbledore,” she said, crossing her arms over her chest. Charlie had heard rumors about Voldemort and his army, and even though there was some truth to her words, all she wanted to do was get a reaction out of Bellatrix. Charlie had no doubts that the Black family wouldn’t think twice before joining Voldemort’s side- but making sure Bellatrix knew she had absolutely no respect for her and the things she believed in was always something she liked to do. “And yes, we Gryffindors like to deal with things ourselves- you see, it would have been incredibly easy to go to McGonagall and tell her about how you go around doing those hate speeches about muggleborns, but I thought that giving you a nice fist in the face would be a lot more effective. And I was right.“  

Bellatrix did not flinch away, instead brushing off some imagined dirt from the other woman’s shoulder. “And that is why your precious little Dumbledore hides away in his castle. Perhaps once upon a time, he had been someone, but now? I long for the day the Dark Mark will be seen floating above his chambers. Your tears will burn so brightly, and how I love to see you cry.” At the words, Bellatrix touched her fingertips to the bruise Charlie had left her -- and how beautiful the purple was against her paleness. “What proof do you have? Whisper away, and they can do nothing. Punch me, and it changes nothing. You scream, and you fight to give yourself some semblance of security, but you cannot hide from shadows, my little canary. One day, they shall come for you too. Why fight? How exhausted you must be.”

Tatiana blinked, a little stunned at the statement although she couldn’t really argue with it; she’d never been creative, really. Bellatrix probably had a point. But her next statement was equally as stunning, leaving Tatiana gaping for a minute. “You - you … agree with me?” She stared at Bellatrix, torn between pride that she’d apparently said something clever and suspicion that the older girl had some sort of trick up her sleeve.

“Confidence, my dearie.” Oh, it was so easy to slip beneath someone’s skin -- to fasten strings around their fingers and yank them around like puppets on a string. ( You are the only free one, Bellatrix -- you and Him, the one they speak so fearfully of... ) “Next time I agree, do not act so surprised. It’s unbecoming.” 

[beastiebellatrix-blog]

"..Why?" ( from peterrrrr )

“Why, why, why?” Her mocking carried a singsong note to it, as if the melody of his pain provided her the perfect background. It was almost a shame she could not drive it on, that she could not bask in the knowledge that she was the cause of it      “Why does it matter? The Dark Lord wishes it, and do you consider yourself more than the Dark Lord? The Potters will die, or I shall remind you of what occurs when itty bitty little bugs disobey him.” She clasped her hands together, eyes darkening with a twisted joy. “S q u i s h.” 

[ncrcissablack]

“Honestly, this panicking is going to make me stress by association. Not that I’m associated with some of the … – people in this room. Really, if I have to spend two more years in this establishment, I worry for my own health.” It was said nonchalantly, but there was definitely some truth to her words. Narcissa Black was scared, though she’d never admit it and never showed it, she was shaken up.

[beastiebellatrix-blog]

“Now, now, Cissy.” Bellatrix thrived off the chaos in the room, breathing in the scent of fear as if it was some twisted perfume. “Surely, you must understand. What do rats do when they sense danger in the air? They scurry -- and make no mistake, these people are rats compared to us.”

"Pathetic." ~ from Tatiana

“Pathetic.” 

The word slipped from her lips without any thought, and she clicked her tongue in disapproval. She glanced between Tatiana and the quivering individual trying to shove himself in the corner of the room. ( He knew what would happen one way or another. ) Walking around to stand behind the girl, she rested her chin on Tatiana’s shoulder. It was far from reassuring; it was as much a reminder that there was no backing out. 

“What did I tell you, my little beastie? You have to mean it. Say the word with me: cruciatus.” 

[beastiebellatrix-blog]

"I piss on your traditions." and "Kill me now.."

“I piss on your traditions.”

The words hung in the air for one beat – for  t w o . For that infinite span between moments, it appeared as if she wasn’t going to do anything about it, but the moment ticked by. Her wand was out in a flurry, the tip leaving a small impression as it pressed against Charlie’s throat. 

“Let’s rethink those words, shall we?” 

“Kill me now..“ 

It was almost a pity to see her this way – a faint defiance was still visible, but the brilliant fire dwindled…from ashes to ashes. It made Bellatrix bored, and what could she do now in the face of such boredom? She clasped the woman’s chin tightly in her hand, forcing her to look directly at her. “You were supposed to be my equal, but you’re nothing more than a filthy little – ” Even broken and  f a d i n g , Charlie managed to spit in her direction.

Ah, there was her lovely little canary. 

“I’ll give you what it is you so desire then.” A flash of green erupted from her wand, but the manic grin did not remain on her face for long. She knelt beside the Gryffindor, as if expecting her to pop up at any moment. ( What did this hollowness mean? Run, little snake. Run far away from this. ) She stood to her feet and turned away, not looking back as she returned to work.

"Bring her to me." [From Kate]

“Bring her to me.”

The words rang cold and cruel in the air, and Bellatrix practically quivered with excitement at them. What the Dark Lord wanted with this stunted little rat Bellatrix could not be sure, but to see him work was a great honor. ( Perhaps this time he will even let you help, beastie. ) She grabbed the Gryffindor – her name escaped the edges of Bella’s mind – by the curly length of brown hair and shoved her towards Him. 

“The little lioness goes off to slaughter,” she sang gently, laughter spilling from her lips. “What a disappointing end.”

“Oh, I’m not at all saying I agree with the way they are trying to get themselves heard — a protest like this may not be entirely pointless, but there are much better ways do to this sort of thing. However, it is interesting to see how they try, and perhaps we will both be proven wrong, and they will accomplish something,” she said, eyes looking at the crowd of people as if she was investigating the way they were shouting and moving. “I agree, though, they should take what they can get — but during these days there is not always an opportunity to do so without making things… well, worse.”

“Worse, worse, worse -- things are always destined to be worse. Why not make them worse on our own accord, hmm?” She gazed back at the crowd, turning away after only a moment’s pause. “I’ve decided they’re worthless; I don’t like them at all.”

Charlie was so concentrated in blocking any spells that she was surprised when the other girl grabbed her. Her hand immediately caught Bellatrix’s, but for the first time, she didn’t do anything because her heart was beating faster, she felt nauseous, and she suddenly looked palid- Charlie was more than slightly scared. She refused to give in, staring at Bellatrix with the same defiance burning in her eyes, ignoring the shiver that went down her spine when the woman smiled. Charlie’s eyes widened when her gaze caught the snake that flew out of Bellatrix’s wand, pushing the woman and getting rid of her grip, but falling onto the ground. She tried to make distance between herself and the snake that kept coming in her direction, until she finally managed to catch her wand and pointed it at the animal, “Vipera Evanesca!” she said loudly, and the snake disappeared, turning into dark smoke. Charlie instantly looked at Bellatrix again and pointed her wand at her, her breath puffy. Being so dangerously fearless, so defying, and so p r o u dwould get her killed someday, but at that moment, she didn’t care. “I didn’t know we were getting homicidal just yet,” she said, “but in case you didn’t know, conjuring a snake to attack me could very well get you expelled.”  

Bellatrix laughed as the snake disappeared in a puff of smoke. How delightful. They each had their tricks, their fears, and their points of attack; it always excited her when she discovered a new facet of Charlie’s. “If it had been poisonous, I would have slipped it into your bed instead. Besides, we both know you wouldn’t take your worries to that fool Dumbledore. I do believe that’s my favorite thing about Gryffindors: they insist on dealing with things themselves.”

“Maybe it is boring but that isn’t a bad thing, really. Too much excitement is stressful, and the attention isn’t always good.” Debating was not Tatiana’s strong point - not like this, anyway. She could almost feel everything she knew fading out of mind but still tried her best to have a smart answer for Bellatrix. Since she had been unlucky enough to attract the girl’s attention in the first place, she wanted to at least come out well. “I don’t think that people are necessarily lesser just because their talents aren’t as loud. I mean, what about a housewife? She’s never going to win any awards or anything but she’s just as good a witch as anyone else. And I’m sure I have heard of a Hufflepuff or Gryffindor who didin’t die as a martyr but I can’t think of any on the spot.” She hated to admit it, but Bellatrix had a valid point about equality - equality wasn’t always the end goal because it didn’t always ensure everyone had their best shot. “Maybe they aren’t equal in the traditional sense that they all have everything the same - god, that was terribly worded. But I don’t think you can rank them either. Each house values different things and we need those differences to function.”

“Then you lack imagination, my sweetling.” She listened to the girl ramble speak, and she could feel the arguments well in her head. She wanted to wrap her hands around the girl’s throat, pull her close, and whisper those arguments straight to her. Instead, she smiled, tilting her head to the side as if considering Tatiana’s point. “I’m inclined to agree. We need those differences to function.” Who else would scrape the dirt from her shoes?

Lucius was among the stirring bodies, caught between hushed whispers of panic – a single soul among many. As rumors and present evidence had presented, a girl was missing from the crowd, suggested to have been captured or killed or lost; those were the theories at least. Personally, he didn’t care either which way. He wasn’t frightened by the prospect of Death Eaters, not in the slightest by those who he could have called his brethren. Rather, he was draped languidly against a wall, arms crossed without a care. And when eyes were drawn to him, heavy with disgust, he wondered – did that make him a monster? Yes, he supposed, it did.

[beastiebellatrix-blog]

Bellatrix was having a difficult time stilling the smile on her face. Oh, how she wanted to join the ones causing chaos just outside these walls -- to have such fear be present on the faces of those in the school because of her. She sauntered over to her future brother ( the word still sends your stomach into a curl, doesn’t it? ) and flashed him a half-amused gaze. “Poor girl.”
