Hogwarts RPG Name: ember santos. First Year | Enigmatic & Proud: 100 Intrusive Memories for Bellatrix Black - Sa13+ ✿ i ain't sorry.mp3 | i don't know her.gif ✿ The following drabbles will be about Bellatrix Black spanning through different times of her life. They will feature her family, some friends, probably some enemies, and of course one very interesting Rodolphus Lestrange. There will be dishonesty, a lot of betrayal, and a hint of romance (if she allows it, tbh.) This will be every bit as dramatic as Bellatrix was meant to be (and, to be honest, probably more.) So sit back and enjoy the show.

Homework 21 / 100 completed , ▼ d i v i n a t i o n ▲ There were two things that Bellatrix Black was absolutely certain about.
One: divination was an archaic and unnecessary practice.
And, two: no one could decide her fate but her.
They were instructed to do tea leaves readings, but everyone struggled to interpret the contents of their partner's teacups.
Her partner was no exception.
"This possibly looks like… maybe… a bird?"
She rolled her eyes and snatched the teacup from the girl's hands. "It's a cloud," Bellatrix said after a few moments. Her partner scanned through the meanings of each symbol.
"It says that challenges are headed your way."
How fitting. ▼ s i x ▲ : don't you dare.

Hogwarts RPG Name: ember santos. First Year | ✿ i ain't sorry.mp3 | i don't know her.gif ✿ ▼ s n a p p i s h ▲ "You are being absolutely dramatic," came a well-meaning but obnoxious voice. Bella remained still—an arm draped over her stomach, the other dangling off of the side of the cream and gold lounge chair.
Andromeda continued, "It's not a big deal, Bel—"
Bella held up a finger and Andromeda stopped talking immediately.
"It is a big deal; and until I'm over it, I will make sure he suffers."
Resigned, yet ignorantly hopeful, Andromeda tried again. "You're really not going to let this go?"
Jerking her head upward, she narrowed her eyes at Andromeda. "Go away, before I make you." ▼ e i g h t y - f i v e ▲ : it's all relative.

Charmed, Bella laughed at the sight. "Okay, it's time for you to go," she prompted and shoved the boy. "Go, I said. You're mute, not hard of hearing."
The boy ran quickly without looking back.
"That was childish," Rodolphus observed, pocketing his wand after.
Bella, not liking his tone, jabbed her finger into his chest. He winced and grabbed her wrist briefly before remembering himself.
He exhaled deeply and reminded Bella to behave herself. ▼ t w e l v e ▲ : all in good fun.

Hogwarts RPG Name: ember santos. First Year | ✿ i ain't sorry.mp3 | i don't know her.gif ✿ ▼ c a r e o f m a g i c a l c r e a t u r e s ▲ In a crisp, decisive voice, Druella answered the eldest Black daughter: "No."
Because she absolutely, positively, hated not having her way, Bellatrix took matters into her own capable hands. She marched to her father's study, nostrils flared and knocked loudly. He beckoned her to enter and she feigned an innocent, child-like demeanor to arouse his sympathy.
It didn't work.
"She doesn't care about my happiness at all!"
Cygnus—who, after fourteen years, had been used to these outbursts—offered solace, albeit half-heartedly. "Competitively racing Granians? You'd have no marriage prospects after that."
Despite his effort, her mind was already set. ▼ s e v e n ▲ : the blame game.

Hogwarts RPG Name: ember santos. First Year | ✿ i ain't sorry.mp3 | i don't know her.gif ✿ ▼ a r i t h m a n c y ▲ Can you really predict the future using numbers? she'd asked on an excruciatingly hot afternoon. They lounged underneath an old English Oak tree, relishing in the generosity of its shade. Impatient and frustrated, she repeated her question. Louder.
She was met with a familiar curious smile—one that simultaneously irritated and enchanted her—and a languid shrug. This prompted her to sit up and scowl at her companion.
They laughed deeply and pulled her close.
Momentarily stunned, her throat felt thick. It is entirely possible, they said in an even, dulcet tone. Her flushed cheeks, betraying her (supposed) indifferent demeanor. ▼ t e n ▲ : one and one. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: ember santos. First Year | ✿ i ain't sorry.mp3 | i don't know her.gif ✿ ▼ w a n d ▲ Although her father had forbidden her from entering without his explicit permission, Bellatrix could not contain her curiosity.
She turned the handle carefully and slithered into the room. It was warm but uninviting. A stack of documents, rolls of parchment, carefully placed quills, and various inkwells of different colors and sizes cluttered his desk.
Carefully, she sleuthed through his belongings before she'd found his wand.
It had ornate decorations etched into the dark, wood. Bellatrix wondered if she could wield it. She never got the chance; her mother had dragged her out of the room before she could experiment further. ▼ n i n e t e e n ▲ : curiouser and curiouser.

"Don't be dramatic, Cissy. It'll be fine." Bellatrix said nonchalantly while thumbing through a bridal catalogue. Her younger sister was being hopelessly pathetic, and Bellatrix couldn't understand why.
It was incredibly amusing.
Burying her face in one of Bellatrix's throw pillows, Narcissa continued her complaint. "I really don't think I can do this, Bella."
"Of course you can. You're the only one who can pull this off."
"B-but, why me?"
Bellatrix raised an eyebrow, cutting her sister a sharp look. "Because I said so." ▼ n i n e t y - o n e ▲ : wild child.

Narcissa, who had spent most of the conversation hidden behind a catalogue—that featured tea sets, doilies, and the like—snorted loudly. Cheeks flushed, Narcissa dropped the catalogue and stammered over her words as she tried to placate her older sister. However—
Like clockwork, Bella started her usual diatribe.
"Is this funny to you? Am I that entertaining, Cissy? Should I quit school and become some sort of show girl?"
Andromeda intervened quickly. "Leave her alone, Bella. You know she didn't mean to laugh at you." ▼ s e v e n t y - t w o ▲ : it's not personal. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: ember santos. First Year | ✿ i ain't sorry.mp3 | i don't know her.gif ✿ ▼ q u e l l ▲ The salon had been rowdier than she anticipated. You're frowning again, came a voice on her left. They were near enough that Bella's breath had fallen in sync with theirs.
With a look of feigned indifference, she said: I'm bored of this and I'm bored of you.
(The lie was childish and stupid.)
Evan laughed breathlessly while taking her hand. Acidic yet coy; you are full of surprises. Their words melted in her ears and it seemed like the room was spinning.
It was dangerously ironic at how parched and dizzy she felt even after she'd pulled her hand away. ▼ s i x t y - s e v e n ▲ : pause...then rewind. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: ember santos. First Year | ✿ i ain't sorry.mp3 | i don't know her.gif ✿ ▼ c o m m o n r o o m ▲ Even with the fireplace lit, the common room held no warmth.
Bellatrix stood, stone-faced and defiant, in front of one obnoxious Rodolphus Lestrange. "You misunderstand me," he started. She scoffed, even motioned her hands dramatically, but remained silent.
"I don't understand how you can be so upset. You told me that I was free to do as I pleased."
Her response came in the form of a derisive snort. In turn, Rodolphus sighed and sat down in an armchair.
"Enough. I'm tired of your games."
Bellatrix walked away, determined to continue her silent treatment for as long as she could. ▼ t h i r t y - t w o ▲ : our days are numbered. |

Bella, who had come to enjoy ignoring Lucius' presence on a daily basis, stared pointedly.
"Really." Her voice was cool and even, but she was boiling on the inside. "Please elaborate, Malfoy."
The corners of his lips tugged upward and he leaned in. "Oh, just a hunch, really."
For some reason, this did not sit well with her. She kept her eyes trained on Sirius, watched him as he walked up to the stool, and prayed to Salazar that Malfoy was wrong.
Sirius shot her an apologetic look; immediately, she felt sick. ▼ t w e n t y - f i v e ▲ : a very cruel joke. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: ember santos. First Year | ✿ i ain't sorry.mp3 | i don't know her.gif ✿ ▼ c h a s e ▲ With a reproachful look from her mother, Bella took care not to dirty her new dress as she walked around the garden. Even at eight years old, she knew the importance of keeping up appearances—especially when her mother was entertaining important guests in their home.
Bella carefully made her way over to the other children, stepping around any patches of wet grass.
The other children ran around, chasing colorful butterflies while kicking up mud and sullying their shoes. Recoiling, Bella took several steps backwards, and fell dramatically.
She shrieked on her way down, forcing everyone to stop and stare. ▼ f i f t y - t h r e e ▲ : it's just not right. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: ember santos. First Year | ✿ i ain't sorry.mp3 | i don't know her.gif ✿ ▼ g o b l i n ▲ “This. Is. Humiliating.”
A series of rowdy claps from her supposed peers put Bella on edge.
“Settle down,” came Rodolphus — along with his poor attempt at hiding his laughter. “You look… festive.” It took four seconds before the laughter started. Again. Bella’s “costume" was currently a big hit in the Common Room.
With flushed cheeks, Bella stomped on his foot. Hard.
“I hate this,” she shrieked, struggling to pull the costume off.
Ever-so-dutiful, Narcissa scurried over to help fix Bella’s uniform, smoothing out any wrinkles.
Perplexed by her dramatic reaction, Rodolphus replied coolly, “Next time, Bella… don’t lose the bet.” ▼ f i f t y - s e v e n ▲ : disgusting. |

Narcissa looked up, frightened at the sound of her sister’s voice, large eyes growing wider at the implications behind Bella's callous remark.
Again, fear continued to hold Narcissa steady, “D-don't tell m —”
With a loud, exaggerated gasp, Bella responded quickly. “You want me to keep this a secret for you? Is that it?” Her tone was barely sympathetic, but she managed to smile menacingly at the younger girl. ▼ e i g h t y - e i g h t ▲ : blackmail. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: ember santos. First Year | ✿ i ain't sorry.mp3 | i don't know her.gif ✿ ▼ h o m e w o r k ▲The rain had kept Bella indoors; homework was her only viable option for passing the time. Let’s see, came a familiar voice — much too close for her own comfort, despite her cheeks warming immediately.
She ignored Evan easily enough, focusing instead on writing her name in a neat script. Don’t be like that, Bella…I’ll let you copy my work.
The offer was tempting, even though there would be consequences and complications — things she didn’t have time to deal with.
But —
There they both sat — in silence together, smiling secretively, interrupted only by Bella politely hushing Evan every now and then. ▼ o n e h u n d r e d ▲ : it’s just us. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: ember santos. First Year | ✿ i ain't sorry.mp3 | i don't know her.gif ✿ ▼ h o g s m e a d e ▲ The winter of her sixteenth year had been exceptionally cruel—
(marriage prospects, the unshakable sense of dread that came with academic obligations, Andromeda's abnormal obsession with all things that weren't suitable for a member of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, Narcissa's insistence at being a professional, incompetent, incorrigible brat)
—yet she found a sliver of solace as she walked around Hogsmeade. Alone.
The snow reminded her of home;
(twirling, tumbling, silent throughout its descent, transforming into a gray, unrecognizable mush once it was beneath her sleek, black boots);
destruction, deception, a cautionary tale without a proper ending. ▼ t w e n t y ▲ : if only. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: ember santos. First Year | ✿ i ain't sorry.mp3 | i don't know her.gif ✿ ▼ a m o r t e n t i a ▲ Amortentia — noun: 1) used to induce an instantaneous, comatose-like state wherein the user becomes absolutely useless and besotted with a particular person; 2) must be used continuously; 3) not to be confused with actual love; 4) a temporary phase of misguided judgement at the cost of the user's free will; 5) do not drink on an empty stomach. e.g., Bella knew that Amortentia wasn't necessary; she was 70% certain that Rodolphus was in love—
(despite already being contractually obligated to marry her in the near future)
—therefore, the potion was not, in any way, important to her.
At all. ▼ s i x t y - t w o ▲ : problems and probabilities. |

Narcissa remained quiet, softly murmuring to herself as she carefully wrapped a small box of gourmet chocolates.
Interest piqued, Bella made another attempt at civility.
"Tell me,... or else," she warned, to which Narcissa answered with a slow shrug, infuriating her all over again.
Bella quickly stole the box, and Narcissa pleaded relentlessly— pathetic, large, watering eyes, and trembling lip forcing Bella to actually feel remorse for taunting her.
"Fine. Have it your way."
She'd leave it alone. For now. ▼ n i n e t y - t w o ▲ : un.

And, If you don't do it now, you'll never get a chance.
But also, He is honestly not worth your time, but if you like him, then I suppose I can overlook this.
Still—
nothing could prepare her for the devastating reality that followed her sister's attempt at being forward.
As the weeks rolled by, Bella was unable to shake Narcissa out of her lamentable stupor.
On one evening in particular, the Slytherin found herself pouring through her sister's diary, skimming over the fluff, dark, narrowed eyes landing on a name: Nott. ▼ e i g h t y - o n e ▲ : deux. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: ember santos. First Year | ✿ i ain't sorry.mp3 | i don't know her.gif ✿ ▼ f i g h t ▲ Pureblood Etiquette, rule 17 (circa 1959):
It is, without a doubt, imperative that a young, noble person of intrigue and high social status, should never, under any circumstance, resort to physical violence as a means of settling disagreements.
True dueling resides in swift wand-work along with incantations. Addendum, 1965 - entered by: Bellatrix Black Should one find themselves in a position to emulate bare-knuckled muggle fighting, there should not be any consequence, social or otherwise.
Example: Theodore Nott will be confined in the hospital wing for weeks; I pummeled his face with my fist for subjecting Cissa to a public rejection. ▼ f i f t y - s i x ▲ : trois. |

“Are you done with your theatrics, Cissa?”
The younger girl blubbered something tragically incoherent — round, pale cheeks flushed as blotchy, red spots appeared, almost instantaneously, with the overexertion that came with nonstop crying — and made Bella angry.
“Narcissa, enough!” Bella bristled, jaw clenched as she made an attempt to look sympathetic.
“You…why did you — “ came Narcissa in between bouts of uneasy hiccups.
“Grow up.”
Bella rolled her eyes and knocked the tissues out of Narcissa’s hands. ▼ e i g h t y - f o u r ▲ : intermission. |
