BELLATRIX LESTRANGE.

bellatrix lestrange - muse for wingardiumfm!

[carnalscreams]

"what do you mean you haven't done anything to me?" she cackled, her hues on the femme with her eyes blared with delight. bellatrix was hinting that she didn't care WHAT lily happened to do, and that was something she made known. the female from the black family was vile, and she would do anything to hurt anybody who didn't share the same blood status as her; it was who she was and how she had been taught -- she didn't think to be taught any different, and she didn't know anything else, either. bellatrix zeroed in on lily, and eyed her, almost like prey before pursing her lips, a maniacal grin coming from her lips. "you don't have to do anything to me for me to hunt you." she said, her hues looking at her with delight.

[apparitixns]

lily is tempted to take one more step back , but she knew she was cornered . how had she been so careless to be out until this late ? she had always avoided leaving the shop this late and last - ❝ to hunt me ? ❞ she says in utter disbelief , feeling akin to roadkill that was about to discarded to the side . ❝ there is no satisfaction to be had when you have had your victory with no work on your part , bellatrix . ❞ she was perhaps the easiest victim to be had , still somewhat defenseless despite the fact that her wand was in the pocket of her cloak . ❝ and have you truly become careless enough to terrorize people on these open streets ? ❞ all lily needed was a passerby to stumble upon them - give her an opening to run to the right and away from this horror . she's hesitant to even twitch a muscle . bellatrix would easily beat her to a hex before lily could even grab her wand at this rate .

[carnalscreams]

"careless, you call me, careless?" bellatrix barked, her hues on lily with a slight smirk. she was anything but careless, calculated, maybe and that was why she was here in the first place. truly, lily, the mudblood, was the perfect victim and that was why she was terrorizing her. bellatrix thrived off somebody having fear--and she was hoping that the red-head had plenty of it. "tell me, mudblood, do you fear me?" she said, her hues on the female before pursing her lips. did she find this funny? absolutely not, but she did find the situation somewhat endearing. dear ol' lily, trying to stick up for herself, oh how, she didn't know how things would pan out in the end....or how they hoped things would pan out.

where : the leaky cauldron

who: open to anyone

war, work, worry, repeat, that seemed to be the routine that Alice Fortescue was following on a daily basis. Following the latest announcement on the Wizarding Wireless network, it seemed to send the Auror Department into even more of a frenzy. A frenzy that Alice normally would have dove straight into, allowing curiosity to get the better of her. But on this occasion, Alice recognised her desperation for a glimmer of a break, the past few weeks had been stressful, and diving in head first to work could wait until Monday.

Stirring her cocktail with her straw, Alice took a peek down the bar, her eyebrow quirking as she caught sight of somebody only a few empty seats over. "You do realise that it's happy hour, right?" She chimed up, "I think drowning your sorrows typically starts later in the evening."

[carnalscreams]

"you do know that my "sorrows" aren't just related to the evening, correct?" bellatrix hadn't revealed who she was until dear alice had spoken up, and now she felt like revealing who she was, was the right of passage. she couldn't exactly hide that bit of knowledge, now could she? showing her teeth in a horrendously grandeur smile; the dark haired femme couldn't help but smirk. most people would rather be anywhere but in a closed confined space with bellatrix black, she wondered if alice felt the same, but she didn't dare ask. "my sorrows tend to just multiply it seems." she smirked, shrugging her shoulders.

Who: Daisy & Open Where: Diagon Alley When: Mid-afternoon

"Hi, I'm Daisy Hookum, I'm with the Daily Prophet. I'm looking to interview people on the growing tensions and the tragedies that have recently been hitting our community so hard. If I could just have a moment of your time I would really...appreciate it," Daisy sighed as the person she had been attempting to speak to walked right past her. She knew that it wasn't always popular talking to a journalist, but it was important. She wanted to document what was happening in their country, to their people, and she couldn't do that if nobody spoke to her. Feeling eyes on her, she glanced up. "I don't suppose you want to talk to me, do you? I promise you can stay anonymous if you want. I'd offer to buy you ice cream or something but that's against the code of ethics. Not that everyone follows that," she muttered, more to herself.

[carnalscreams]

"Do..I look like I want ice cream?" Bellatrix muttered, her hues on Daisy as she eyed her. The woman with the hellacious locks couldn't help but corner the Hookum femme with a sense of dread in her own eyes. She didn't know what exactly she was interviewing about, but she was also intrigued, and that came....with the territory of being somebody who knew what was happening in the world right now, especially because of who she was. "I suppose we can do an interview. A short one." She said, her lips pursing into a straight line, she wasn't pleased, but she also wasn't going to say no either, she knew that the woman was trying to get interviews and Bellatrix was feeling nice for once.

[enchantmecnts]

were. one word and it stung. wasp’s venom, sharp and searing, spreading pain beneath skin long after the word was spoken. she'd never wanted this. she’d thought about it, braced herself for it, been willing to risk it. but in a way, she’d thought it wouldn’t happen. not when she was being so careful about it. “ don’t be so dramatic about it. ” her tone remained calm, hiding a crumbling facade . for some reason when andromeda thought of being disowned by her family, she’d never thought of her sisters pushing her away, too. cissy didn’t. but bellatrix was different. a revelation that shouldn’t have been shocking. and yet… “ i just looked for ,” a way to escape. a shred of happiness that didn’t need to depend so much on her siblings. “ a job.” she shrugged. playing naive had never suited her, and she hoped that bellatrix wouldn’t notice. “ i don’t get why you’re so angry at me for that. would you like to sit down somewhere maybe ?” she suggested, talking through bellatrix’s anger. “ i think you do. ” the only honest words she’d spoken since the beginning of this conversation. as much as she sometimes feared bellatrix, seeing how her fury was consuming her and threatening to reveal something so much sinister behind it. she still loved her. cared about her enough that hope still flickered in that darkness. “ you’re so angry all the time, and i get it. that's just how it is, being born into this family. but it doesn’t have to be that way, bella.”

[carnalscreams]

her hues eyed andromeda, a hint of feralness coming out to play. bellatrix didn't hesitate when it came to the last comment, she might have, maybe if andromeda hadn't said it, but she knew now more than ever, that she had to dive in deep and say something, because, she was the person she was because of the fact that she hadn't been born into this family. she truly was not one of them - even if she wanted to be.

"i am angry, because i was not born into this family. i am not like you. i am not like cissy. i never will be." she muttered, her hues on her sister, before pursing her lips.

"i also am not being dramatic, this is who i am. you made your choice, and that is the choice you need to live with. the choice that matters to you most." she let her eyes move up to eye andromeda, before turning her head to the side. "i will never be your sister. not like i truly want to be."

[carnalscreams]

bellatrix & narcissa : for @impcrios

"you know, i always thought you would be the one who would end up different than...well her." bellatrix said, referring to their sister who had turned out to be a traitor. she didn't like to speak about andromeda, she didn't even like to breathe her name. however, narcissa hadn't exactly aligned with the death eaters either, she had also let bellatrix down in more ways than one, and as bellatrix stood there and clicked her tongue, she realized that she had two siblings who were more alike than she thought. maybe, SHE was only the loyal soldier in the family.

"do you have any...intention of taking the mark cissy?" she asked, her hues on the female, as she pursed her lips, her hopes that her sister would say yes, even though she knew deep down, that she would end up saying no.

[avcrabbe]

"Then, I guess they're deserving of the same grace where I don't need to mention them to you, right?" Arden couldn't relate to the sentiment or intensity of it. He didn't mind his siblings talking about him, and trusted them to take any of his secrets to his grave. "I'm not going to pretend I understand you."

[carnalscreams]

"I don't think anybody understands me, truly. So, take a number." She said, her cheshire smirk coming to light as she looked at the male, an alight gaze eyeing him as she pursed her lips. Maybe she was hoping for retribution when it came to finding out about her siblings, or maybe she was hoping for something else, she didn't honestly know. However, she did know, that he was the last chance she had when it came to finding out about anything concerning her siblings; she didn't want to lose that leverage.

[incomparcble]

"Not particularly, no. But I thought since you were walking by, perhaps you liked going into the shop. It was worth a try." Apparently, this would not end in the result Pauline was hoping for, but at least she knew that now. "What sort of thing should I be worried about? Not everyone can be an expert in plants, even though I wish I had paid more attention in Herbology classes, but how was I supposed to know I'd be in another country with a plant I'd never seen before."

[carnalscreams]

"Do...you know who I am?" She said, her lips pursing into a tight line. Bellatrix was lethal, her dark eyes scanning the person in front of her, that obviously didn't know who she was. It was quite obvious; that was fine though, Bellatrix would show them, without a single doubt in her mind. She would make sure that the person knew who she was, and that they would end up regret asking any sort of question about a bloody plant!

"No plant matters when you come across somebody like me, somebody...so lethal. Besides, you should have bloody paid attention in Herbology class, hmph." She said, her hues on the person in front of her, dark hues zeroing in on them with a heavy smirk as she eyed them.

[incomparcble]

─── ⋆⋅ 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬: open ─── ⋆⋅ 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: hogsmeade, outside the magic neep

"Hello! I don't mean to be a bother, but I saw this plant in that shop and, my new apartment - or wait it's a flat here, isn't it? Anyway, it's quite empty and I've been trying to liven it up and I saw this plant and figured why not, but also I have no idea what it is." Polly took a moment to take a breath before fixing a wide smile of their face. "Do you happen to know...well, anything about plants?"

[carnalscreams]

bellatrix...stared at the person in front of her, her dark curls moving around her face, before she snarled, a smirk playing on her face. did she know anything about plants? did she look like a PLANT expert? absolutely not! bellatrix looked at them and scowled, her hues on them before wiggling her finger out into the air between them, her scowl becoming more and more evident. "...do you know who you're talking to? i don't think plants is something you should be worrying about when talking to me." she snarled.

[avcrabbe]

When he heard Bellatrix question he couldn’t help but laugh. Mind you, yes it hurt, but he had so many polite talks all day that something different was perfectly amusing. Even if annoying. “I haven’t quit or been fired yet, so I’d say i’m content sucking off government funds whilst not working.” He liked Narcissa Black, they were a dear friend and a third sibling to him. Now, Bellatrix was a completely different thing altogether. "Not really if I'm being perfectly frank, we have other things to talk about whenever we come across each other. Next time, would you like me to ask them about you?"

[carnalscreams]

"i'd prefer you did not." she said, eyes painted on arden as she clasped her hand over her jaw. she didn't care to hold in her thoughts, mostly, because bellatrix NEVER did and probably would. she was somebody who had intrusive thoughts as much as she said them, and she didn't intend on keeping them in. "i'd prefer that you didn't mention my name around any of my family members, actually." she said, a scowl on her face as she eyed the wilkes male with a hint of glare in her dark hues. bellatrix didn't want to associate with either of her siblings; she was her own person now and would intend on staying that way.

[braveforsaken]

from   miles   away,   the   curious   bellatrix   lestrange   has   made   her   presence   known   to   the   entire   ministry.   everyone   was   always   left   to   the   trivial   moods,   unable   to   predict   what   it   is   she   would   do   now.   niamh   has   always   found   her   quite   fascinating   to   say   the   least.   most   of   the   time   she   made   the   effort   to   avoid   her   antics,   mainly   because   her   fragile   state   required   to   refrain   from   anything   that   could   worsen   her   condition   during   that   time. 

niamh's   leave   seemed   to   be   perfectly   timed   with   the   arrive   of   bellatrix.   face   to   face   she   did   not   feel   the   fear   some   felt   whenever   they   were   in   her   presence.   the   irritation   was   perfectly   clear   in   her   words,   mannerisms   and   facial   expression.   it   did   not   faze   her   however.   “   i   did   not   say   nor   assumed   anything.   however   you   did   make   me   curious.   what   is   your   business   ??   perhaps   i   could   assist   you   before   my   leave.   you   look   like   a   woman   on   a   mission   after   all.   ”

[carnalscreams]

lips pursed, she didn't know whether to trust niamh. how could she? bellatrix didn't trust anybody and that much was evident. she was somebody who kept her business to herself, and she knew that niamh would only make the situation that much more dire or even worse. she looked at her and raised her eyebrows, before a cheshire smirk came across her lips, eyes on the female with a slight swoop of her dark hair.

"you would help ME? why is that? don't you know that it is like playing with the devil? certainly you know the looks you would get when you would be seen with somebody like me, dear." she said, her dark hues on niamh as she pursed her lips, the smile fading as she thought about what she had just said. she had built a reputation for herself, and she didn't like to think about what that reputation was.

[carnalscreams]

bellatrix & yun jae-won.

"you bloody moron, fix it!" bellatrix said in her feral yell, her eyes looking at them as she scoured the look on their face. she didn't care to deviate from who she was, much less what she wanted to do: the young female was insanity personified, and she would do anything to make the other feel bad for what they had done, even if it meant that they hadn't done it on purpose. "no, you utter moron, i do not want you to buy me anything." she clicked her tongue, her glazed and angry eyes looking at them with intensity that could fill one hundred rooms. she didn't understand why this was happening to her, and why they had the audacity to run into her without showing some grace.

[petrificusx]

They were not the most sensitive of people, but that didn’t mean Jae was alright with being called names. They had been apologetic, had done their best to show how sorry they were for the spill. They were even ready to whip out a sure proof charm to fix things up. And under any normal circumstances, Jae would keep their head hung low and clean the mess without any protests. That was if he wasn’t being called a moron. They were quite intelligent, thank you very much. Returning his wand to the pocket inside his jacket, Jae made a slow show of fixing up his cuffs, straightening out his clothes, and then finally a small smile as they replied, “No.” They smoothed a hand down over their suit jacket, and shrugged, “I mean if I’m such a ‘moron’, then surely I wouldn’t know how to fix the stain. I’m sure your’s are much more capable hands.”

[carnalscreams]

her eyes darted to look at them, her dark hues becoming huge with wander but also dismay. were they testing her? was this some kind of test? bellatrix smirked, her eyes on them and she didn't dare falter from her post, as much as she knew, she felt like maybe she could reign superiority over them, but she also knew that her candor with her words wasn't exactly the best either. it was something that she should have bit back, after-all, they had been willing to help her with the stain. maybe she had been too keen on being cruel? no! she should have said exactly what she said; they had done the stay after-all. "are you mocking me? are you trying to be smart with me?" she said, her hues on them as she wrinkled her nose, a light scoff coming into the air as she pursed her lips tightly.

[apparitixns]

to catch her breath almost felt impossible now to lily . she had been running for longer than not - now crouched into the tiniest crevice behind an abandoned stand on the streets , a hand moving up to cover her mouth in an effort to quieten her gasps , knowing she was the prey being cornered by their predator and it would be soon bellatrix black would find her . this was the kind of bravery that lily lacked ; wand secured between a hard fist yet lily felt paralyzed . ' come out and come play ' the other beckons , and lily can feel the tears prick at her eyes but lily squeezes her eyes shut . she wasn't going to show weakness ( not now , at least ) . so she takes one last breath , then she stands up from her hiding spot - eyes darting to the left to where she knows the edge of the anti-apparition wards are . ❝ what do you want with me ? i haven't done anything to you, bellatrix . ❞

[carnalscreams]

"what do you mean you haven't done anything to me?" she cackled, her hues on the femme with her eyes blared with delight. bellatrix was hinting that she didn't care WHAT lily happened to do, and that was something she made known. the female from the black family was vile, and she would do anything to hurt anybody who didn't share the same blood status as her; it was who she was and how she had been taught -- she didn't think to be taught any different, and she didn't know anything else, either. bellatrix zeroed in on lily, and eyed her, almost like prey before pursing her lips, a maniacal grin coming from her lips. "you don't have to do anything to me for me to hunt you." she said, her hues looking at her with delight.

[carnalscreams]

bellatrix was not the social type, in fact, more would call her feral and untrained more than anything. however, when she saw alecto carrow, she found herself feeling at least somewhat safe to speak: somewhat safe to be herself, even though she didn't know how she felt about the festivities just yet.

the girl with the dark hair, feral eyes, and uncaring personality was not one for festivals or any kind of events. she simply would much rather follow the path of the righteous and avoid being seen, she wondered if alecto felt the same. "i don't know how i quite feel about this.....gathering yet. the wine is nice, s'pose, but i can't say i'm too happy about the people, what about you carrow?"

[carnalscreams]

"well, they can't all have the grandeur that your wine has, now can they alecto, dear?" she cooed, her hues on the red-head as she smiled widely. bellatrix was not favorable of really anybody in her life; however, she knew that she was more favorable of those in the death eater faction, because at least those had some common sense. she didn't think that they would falter like the rest of everybody that she happened to know. she knew that everybody seemed to be so flaky, and she didn't like it.

"then again, the wine is better than most of the company. i don't even know some of these blokes." she said, her dark hues looking around the room as she eyed each person carefully, scrutinizing each one of them as if she was trying to judge them, which she actually was.

[amcrtentias]

where: blishwick wing, st mungo’s hospital when: after fudge’s speech and moody’s bollocking with: open

Eyes narrowed behind the frames of their glasses, James can’t help but frown as Mortimer Fudge finishes his little speech and proceeds to rejoin the party. Short-sighted they may be, but even from their position at the back of the room the old blowhard looks pasty and strange, and James swears they aren’t imagining the jerky quality to his movements.

“Did he seem a bit… squiffy to you?” They ask the person standing beside them, keeping their voice low.

[carnalscreams]

"i do not tell my secrets." bellatrix mused, her cheshire grin coming to life as she looked at james, her eyes coming to life with happiness but also the hint of being FERAL. she knew what she had done, but nobody else had; after-all, she needed to prove her loyalty, and what better way than to harm somebody...or poison them? bellatrix looked at james, her wine glass in her hand as she showed her teeth with an engulfing smile. she was proud of her task, but she knew that nobody else would be: after-all, bellatrix was relentless and always would be, she did not hold back in the end.

[carnalscreams]

bellatrix & andromeda - @enchantmecnts

setting: unknown.

she had been adopted, not bred like andromeda and cissy. bellatrix's rage had lifted from the moment she had found out that her siblings did not take the black name like they should: they did not welcome the arrangement and name with open arms like bellatrix did. then again, she owed it to the name, she owed it to THEIR parents to be everything that she needed to be: a loyal soldier and somebody who did not pass up the chance to ruin every single person in their wake.

however, andromeda was different. soft spoken, determined, and anything but black bred should be. then again, how should bellatrix know? she shouldn't -- she hadn't been born into this family, she had been brought. her hues met her dear sister's and she huffed, a spiraling sigh as her feral hues etched out death in andromeda's making. as much as she HATED her sister's betrayal, she wished for her to change sides even more. to be who she needed to be. "bloody hell, why couldn't you just be....what you're supposed to be, sister? why did you have to do this to our family? betray us?"

[carnalscreams]

"i care, because you're my sister...or you were." she said, her voice blurting out in an angry tone of voice. she didn't dare retort back or change her tone, mostly, because she felt like andromeda deserved her wrath, even though she knew that it was misplaced. bellatrix had always been the black families' most loyal soldier. she felt like she owed them EVERYTHING. however, would that make her turn on the siblings that she had once loved so dear? even though she and andromeda had always butted heads...

she looked at the femme, her anger budding in her eyes, and she knew that she couldn't take it back now, she knew that she didn't want to either. as much as she knew, andromeda was DEAD to her, even though she knew that she was here right in front of her, the figment of who she once had been to her.

"i do not need a break from our family, andromeda!" she barked, her hues looking at her sister before her eyes blazed with anger. she couldn't hold it in, the anger budding out like a flower that could not be contained. bellatrix was somebody that was loyal to a fault, and it made her angry that her siblings could not maintain the same semblance, even though she knew that she had her own reasons for being so loyal.

[carnalscreams]

bellatrix & @ardenwilkes

 "oh, if it isn't arden wilkes, didn't you work in the department of mystery....until?" she grimaced, knowing full well that she was digging something like a knife into him. bellatrix was anything but nice, very catty even, and she didn't hesitate to twist the knife over and over before looking at him, her eyebrows raising with no hesitation to even stop. maybe it was because he was FRIENDS with her sister, a relationship that she had always longed for.

although she didn't despise narcissa nearly as much as she loathed andromeda, she still was envious of anybody that came in contact with her: wanting to have a close knit tie with her, but knowing she wasn't capable. it wasn't something bellatrix had in her, and she wasn't capable of any sort of love - at least not anymore. "tell me lad, how's my sister doing? does she speak about me?"

[carnalscreams]

bellatrix & @braveforsaken

   however, she didn't falter. she didn't hesitate, and she surely didn't turn around when called down. bellatrix lestrange didn't even hesitate. she marched into the ministry like she was the owner of the establishment, even though she was very far from something along those lines. the woman found herself darting through each aisle as if she owned this place, that was until she bumped slowly into the other female, her own dark curls unraveling and combining with niamh's blonde locks. bellatrix was on a mission, but she had been stopped for now, spotted.

"oh bloody hell, it's you. what do i owe the pleasure? are you trying to stop me from walking through the ministry now?" she asked, her hues on the blonde as she raised her eyebrows, a hint of exasperation laced in her dark hues. bellatrix was not having it, and she surely didn't want to be stopped, but here they were.
