Drabbles completed: 54 1. Herbology
Bellatrix Black entered the Herbology greenhouse in high spirits. Her mother had given her a family heirloom, a Devil Snare, as a present. This heirloom had always been a source of interest for Bellatrix, as its wondrous power and hidden weakness provided inspiration, even if it was only a plant. It was her lucky day: in class they were learning about Devil’s Snares. The Professor spoke about its weakness first: how it would wither and die in the sunlight, and then described its strength, the death it brought, and Bellatrix’s heart swelled with pride. She loved her plant to death.

2. Muggle Studies
Muggle Studies was a pointless, disgusting slime pit. Bella watched the students who had actually chosen Muggle Studies come back, going on about electricity and plumbing.
With disgust clearly painted on her proud face, Bella gathered her things (they would never be touched by such wizarding traitors!) and slipped away to an empty classroom. She had just sat down, homework in front of her, when the door burst open. A Hufflepuff third-year stood stock-still in the doorway. There was a thick Muggle Studies book under her arm.
Scowling, Bella drew her slender wand and hexed the traitor out the door.

3. Transfiguration
With a word and a movement of her wand, the twittering parakeet flapping before Bella rapidly transformed into a quill. She picked up the neon yellow feather, wondering if maybe this would work on her mothers annoying pet birds. She’d have four new quills: two green ones, and two blue ones. Everyone in the house would thank her, except her mother.
“Bravo!” Bella’s transfiguration professor appeared at her side, clapping his pudgy hands together. “The first in the year to produce a successful transformation of bird to quill!” Bella didn’t smile, but she was overjoyed. “Thank you,” she said haughtily.

98. Pajamas
They were coal black and silky, very plain, but Bella had never wanted pajamas so badly. They were laid out neatly on Belinda’s bed. With a few personal touches, silver trim and green initials, no one would recognize them.
They were only a few tiny feet away. Belinda thought she was in the library, and would never suspect her “friend”. At one point, Bella might have used logic and her own money to get what she wanted, but such times were past. She slid the pajamas into her trunk, wrapping them in a set of old robes she never wore.

25. Sorting Hat
Lying in bed, Bella thought back to the time when the Sorting Hat was placed on her head. It was very old even then, and seven years didn’t seem to have changed it much.
The Hat had been dark and smothering. A bodiless voice had whispered in her ear, “I see a longing for power and perfection in you. You should watch your step, lest you fall.” Puzzled, Bella had only a few seconds to register the Hat’s words before it shouted, “Slytherin!”. Swept away by the feast and everything else, she had never thought about its words. Until now.

27. Owl
The morning post was coming in, and Bella’s head shot up as an owl landed directly between her and Belinda’s goblet. The owl was plain and brown, but since when did owls come in any interesting colors? With a sigh, Bella took the square package off the creature, and happily unwrapped it. Finally! A book on painful and uncomfortable potions.
Before she could open it, the owl pecked her on the finger. Then it started attacking her hair in a decidedly unaffectionate way. Bella was saved from doing anything drastic when Belinda fed it some cereal and it flew away.

32. Common Room
The common room was empty, and no wonder. It was midnight, after all. Bella had just settled herself down in front of the fire, when she decided it was much too warm and comforting. With a flick of her wand (she had mastered nonverbal spells three years ago), the frames froze. A steady chill filled the room like a flood. Now she was comfortable. The chair under her was becoming cold as well. Tired, Bella fell asleep.
She awoke with the common room full of warmth and people. Grumbling, she left the common room for the cold of the outside.

41. Thestrals
Against the dusty and yellowed pages, the black Thestral sketch clearly showed in the book. The animal was strong looking, and foreboding, with its white eyes.
“Can only be seen by those who have watched death,” whispered Bella as she read the caption. “I wonder if there’s any way for me to see someone die? I’d love to see a Thestral…” Bella was no longer whispering now. A curious first year boy had migrated to near her shoulder, staring at the crazy girl who wanted to see someone die.
“What do you want?” Bella hissed, and the boy scurried away.

57. Gape
As she was walking steadily towards the lake, Bella noticed an odd sight. Feeling along the edge of the water were the slippery tentacles of the Giant Squid. The students weren’t used to seeing the Giant Squid show itself, and they certainly weren’t used to it coming out of the water.
Bella gaped at the spectacle, and saw a large eye emerge from the lake. It was a bit creepy, and apparently the other students thought so too, since they were screaming and moving away. Bella shrugged and continued down to the lakeside, keeping safely away from the roving tentacle.

45. Torch
Many would think Bella heartless, but she helped out her housemates.
Walking down an empty hallway one night, torch in hand, Bella stumbled across a young Slytherin boy stuffing dungbombs in a vase outside the Gryffindor head’s office.
“I have every right to turn you in,” Bella said coldly. The boy paled, clearly forgetting that he could turn her in as well. Not wanting to risk her nighttime excursions coming to an end, Bella said, “I won’t turn you in this time. Just don’t let me catch you again. Here.” Handing the boy her torch, she watched him scurry off.

84. Angry
Bella’s mind was wandering as she walked down the crowded halls. She was imagining the least painful way for someone to break an arm. Soon bored with that, she imagined the most painful.
Lost in her disturbing ideas, she didn’t see Matt, a Gryffindor she particularly detested, lurking behind a corner. She simply heard a muttering and felt slithering all along her body – her robes were quite literally unraveling.
Furious, Bella sighted the culprit and chased after him relentlessly. Matt was much faster than she, and reluctantly she gave up, angry with the world, herself, and most of all Matt.

42. Potraits
Annoying, pointless jabber flooded Bella’s ears. The portraits in this hall were unusually loud today.
“Going anywhere special, dearie?” asked an old witch. Bella glared at her, but the witch continued on.
“Planning on a secret date with some adorable boy? I remember in my third year…I met a boy named Agustus, and he was the cutest, sweetest thing imaginable…”
“He couldn’t have been sweeter than my Robert!” complained another witch with hundreds of wrinkles. “He had the nicest face, the best smile…”
The two portraits continued to argue back and forth endlessly. Grumbling, Bella slipped down a side hall.

20. Hogsmeade
Hogsmeade was unusually quiet this weekend. Bella was admiring a few of the store windows before she caught herself. No self-respecting Black would be seen admiring warmth and light!
Apparently someone had seen her. Bella’s ears heard a sniggering, and her dark eyes soon found the source – Matt again. Bella simply turned down a side street, looking for a way to avoid Matt, who was following her like a shadow. A creaky sign caught her eye: it was the sign for The Hogs Head. Bella was sure Matt wouldn’t follow her in there. As she entered, Matt scurried away fearfully.

24. House Elf
The House Elves at Hogwarts were clever, and avoided being seen, but Bella was determined to see one, so she was waiting in the Slytherin Common room for one to show up.
Cramped behind a chair, three hours passed before anything happened. With a small pop! something with overlarge ears, and eyes started dusting the tables. It was very short, and wore a patchwork of towels –a House Elf.
At one point, Bella was too squished to stand it, and she tried to escape to the dorms. With her sudden motion, the elf saw her and disappeared with another pop.

81. Depression
Bella slumped against a beech tree by the lake. Tears were pouring down her face, and had been coming thick enough and long enough to create a tiny stream down to the water.
Everyone treated her like a freak of nature. Sure she was cruel sometimes, but only to those who deserved it. Muggleborns had no right in this world, and Muggles were filth – she wasn’t the only one to know that, what about her parents?
Bella was still crying when Belinda found her. “Are you okay?” Belinda asked. Bella found a rock, and threw it in Belinda’s general direction.

6. Divination
Alert and ready, Bella stared intently into the crystal ball before her. If she could just master this art, she could be a very useful person indeed. She could read the lives of anyone on their palms, see scenes in a crystal ball’s swirling mists, interpret dreams, and read symbols in tea leaves…
A snore from the boy behind her snatched her mind back into the divination classroom.
Frowning, Bella settled once again to look into the mists.
The professor came around before she could see anything. How are we supposed to concentrate with them bothering us? Bella thought irritably.

18. Whomping Willow
The crystal ball was cool and inviting in her hands. Bella had slipped the orb into her pocket at the end of her last divination class, for practice. Intently and seriously, Bella trained her eyes on the mists inside.
Almost instantly, she saw an image: a flailing, flapping tree. Its wild branches seemed to be moved by a fierce wind, but there couldn’t have been one, because the three animals below it weren’t windblown. There appeared to be a rat, a large black dog, and a deer of some sort.
Before she could see anything else, the image disappeared suddenly. | |

23. Telescope
The telescope was long, black, and smooth, and fit Bella’s face perfectly. She was in her dormitory, alone, looking at the moon.
Long ago, people had thought the moon was a perfect orb of white, with no cracks or craters of any kind. Now, people knew what it really was: an imperfect, broken sphere of rock. Meteors were always blasting that rock apart.
Bella sat away from the telescope, thankful it had helped teach her a lesson. She would never be like that moon. No, she would be perfect in every way, and would never allow herself to be broken. | |

87. Plaid
The package was soft and bulgy, and Bella had no idea what was inside. Curious, she pulled off the wrapping paper and stared in horror at the contents.
A set of bright green plaid gloves and hat stood out horribly against the Slytherin house table. Someone was giggling madly. Belinda had looked over and began laughing as well.
“Who’s that from?” Belinda asked, almost choking from laughter.
Bella was mortified. They were from her mother, but she couldn’t say it aloud. Stumbling and clumsy, she packed up her horrendous surprise and fled to the dorms, and locked away the clothes. | |

28. Timeturner
It was a few hours after the little episode in the Great Hall. Belinda was still laughing about the plaid accessories, as were a lot of insensitive people, and Bella was almost popping with rage. More than anything, Bella wished she had a Timeturner, to take her back to that fateful moment in the Great Hall.
She could just imagine it: sneaking behind herself, with a hand sliding out, and then – the package would be gone! Someone may notice her, but who cares? She’d save herself a lot of embarrassment.
Bella heard approaching students and ran to find a hideout. | |

31. Dress Robes
The robes were soft and silky and green, perfect dress robes if there ever were any. Bella couldn’t wait to use them, but she had no idea how or where.
Belinda walked into the dorms and admired the robes. “They’re nice,” she said politely, “but very green.”
Bella frowned slightly, as she seemed to be doing a lot as of late. She had personally selected the color and designs of the robes. What Belinda had said was an insult to her exquisite tastes, and Bella wasn’t sure how to deal with that.
Bella gave Belinda a strange, slightly unhappy look. | |

65. Ooze
The wound glistened in the dark room. Yellow puss oozed from the gash, soaking right through the bandage.
Bella gazed sadly down at her injured hand, watching the yellow liquid squish out. It made her feel sick. Remembering the pain of the poison stone made her feel sick.
Bella awoke suddenly, sweaty and cold. She didn’t want to relive that pain ever again. Once had been enough.
Just as sadly as she had when gazing upon it ten years ago, Bella slowly pulled her sleeve up to look at the long, pale scar running down the back of her hand. | |

54. Dare
It was him again, that detestable boy Matt. Bella was alone in the hall, and he was facing her, a maniac’s grin on his face.
“Think you’re all powerful and in control?” he whispered. “I can prove you wrong.”
Bella kept her mouth shut, planning to hex him when she got the chance.
“I dare you to steal the Sorting Hat.”
The second the harmful words left his mouth, Bella’s long wand was up and in his face. Matt, nervous now, backed away slowly, then turned and ran down the hall.
Bella smiled slightly. That had been almost too easy. | |

13. Quidditch
The stands were noisy, colorful, and hectic, but Bella sat silently in a corner, watching the Quaffle, Bludgers and Snitch whirl around the Quidditch Pitch. Extremely bored, Bella perked up when a Hufflepuff boy was smashed by a Bludger from Slytherin.
As the crowd around her winced, Bella wondered if the boy would live to see another day. He was swept off to the hospital wing, a little bloody, but alert and conscious.
Bella was terrified by her thoughts. How could she wonder if the boy would live? She ignored the part of her that found joy in his pain. | |

14. Hogwarts, A History
The book, old and well-used, lay flat in her hands. The secrets of a thousand years, a thousand stories, were soon to be in her mind…
Since when had a book provoked such thoughts? Bella looked at the plain book, Hogwarts, A History. It was the very first book, written a few years after the founders all died. Looking at it again, Bella was revolted at how it made her think. It made her think that maybe all the founders were idiots, including Slytherin. He should have fought for his beliefs! Bella decided she’d never let anyone control her thinking. | |
