Boggart: This isn’t all that complicated, the body of both of her husbands. Her greatest fear is them leaving her behind on earth without them. She is aware of it, though she can’t yet find a way to make that at all funny she has been known to stand up to it. In school her Boggart took on the form of her father, she put him in a dress and made him dance poncy.
Amortentia: Blood and Whiskey: The two scents mixing together has reminded her of Evan since they were younger. One of those smells that brings her piece when it should make her fear, Evan has always had a way of making Bellatrix associate things with him that used to bring her dread. Rodolphus’ Cologne: He’s worn the same scent since they were together at Hogwarts and she knows that smell anywhere. It reminds her of the first time she ever felt completely and utterly loved. She has always been able to feel him before she sees him, but when that smell wraps around her she knows she’s home. Roses: When she was fifteen Sabine Lestrange gave her some of her own hand made perfume from her roses. She has always associated the scent with her mother in law and it has now become synonymous with her as well.
Patronus: Bellatrix has managed the patronus charm a time or two in protection for her siblings. The idea you have to love someone to produce a Patronus is accurate and Bellatrix loves as deeply as she hates. Her Patronus when ever she has been able to conjure one has been that of a Wolf. The wolf is a bit of a darker and mysterious soul, with the strength of a fighter. A person with this patronus has had a lot happen in their life, and do to that they wear a mask over their emotions. They do, however, have a very big heart that is full of both passion and fire. They have a lot of emotion within them that they are willing to give, but only once they completely trust you, and since they have been made cynical over the years this can be difficult. .
Wand: 13″ Snappy Walnut wood: Highly intelligent witches and wizards ought to be offered a walnut wand for trial first, because in nine cases out of ten, the two will find in each other their ideal mate. Walnut wands are often found in the hands of magical innovators and inventors; this is a handsome wood possessed of unusual versatility and adaptability. A note of caution, however: while some woods are difficult to dominate, and may resist the performance of spells that are foreign to their natures, the walnut wand will, once subjugated, perform any task its owner desires, provided that the user is of sufficient brilliance. This makes for a truly lethal weapon in the hands of a witch or wizard of no conscience, for the wand and the wizard may feed from each other in a particularly unhealthy manner. Dragon heartstring core and Chimera Scale: As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental Although chimera scales are magically powerful, they are extremely rare in modern wandcraft. This is not out of any concern for safety, as they are generally considered no more stubborn than hippogriff feathers, and are more stable than Erumpent hide. The fact of the matter is that there are more recorded basilisk slayings in the past fifty years than there are chimera slayings in all of recorded history. This one slaying occurred in Greece over two millenia ago, so what scales were harvested at that time have been degraded, broken, and dispersed. Today, they are only found as parts of heirloom cores, and even then, all such cores are a more common core (often dragon heartstring) with a tiny fragment of scale embedded. Chimera wands are most common in Greece and the Balkans, although as they were circulated through the Mediterranean and former Roman Empire they are found throughout Europe. These wands are prized for their raw power, although they are difficult to control.
