La Méchante Sorcière De L'ouest [The Wicked Witch Of The West]-Bellatrix Black

Bellatrix Black was forced to grow up. From a young age she had been given responsibility over her sisters, her parents were not as bad as her Aunt Walburga and Uncle Orion, but they were not saints either. Her father had been one of the first in the family to be associated with the new Dark Lord, he had become less and less sane in the Dark Lord's presence. Her mother had taken to drinking and throwing lavish parties to forget that her husband was borderline psychotic and that she had any daughters in the first place. And since she was the oldest child and a member of the House of Black, she was supposed to take care of her younger sisters, all the while pretending that everything was alright and her family was not slowly falling apart.

Bellatrix Black was not born insane. Bella was a beautiful girl growing up, just like the rest of her family she had inherited that Black family genes. As a little girl she spent her time playing with her sisters and cousins, climbing trees, fencing, painting, learning multiple languages and learning to be a proper lady, but that all changed the day she turned 9, suddenly instead of having fun, she was supposed to learn the art of torture, instead of reading and writing she was supposed to learn how to withstand unforgivable's, and slowly as the years went by and it was finally time for her to attend Hogwarts, Bellatrix Black was a mere shell of the person of people she used to be.

Bellatrix Black wasn't always emotionless. Despite popular belief, Bella did feel, there was a tie, when she would laugh and play with her sisters, just be a carefree child, but that time was long gone and now she was expected to be the one that would rise above the rest and make her family proud, she was the one expected to marry Rodolphus Lestrange at age 12 in order to strengthen the bonds between the two houses. Her life had taken a cruel turn since her father gave in to the new Dark Lord and Bellatrix hated it with everything in her, she vowed that she would play along for her sisters, but would never feel anything but hatred for the Dark Lord, poor naive young Bella, she has no idea what her future held.

Bellatrix Black was a wife now. She had been bonded to Rodolphus Lestrange a few hours ago and was now Mrs Lestrage, oh how she missed her old name, a name that held nobility and power, but not as many responsibilities as her new last name did, but alas she was no longer a young foolish girl from the House of Black, now she was a women, responsible for House Lestrage, she was supposed to run the house and show superiority to others, she was supposed to make those unworthy bow down to her.

Bellatrix Black was in love. The day Bella met the Dark Lord will always be one of her most treasured memories, she remembers the look of awe the other insolent fools around her wore, she remembers the aura and feel of darkness surrounding the glorious being that was Lord Voldemort, it warmed her cold dead heart when she saw the loyalty his followers showed him and ever since she was hooked. She yearned to prove herself to him and beat his mark, the dark mark was a sign of power and beauty and the day that mark graced her skin she vowed to do what ever it took to be his most trusted follower.

Bellatrix Black enjoyed torture. Ever since she was young she had seen the various kinds of torture, she had learned to perfect them, from a young age she had learned that causing people pain is easier than giving them love, it has been her philosophy ever since she heard a portrait of her great aunt Cassiopeia mutter it under her breath. In all honesty she had learned many things from the various portraits at Black Manor, and everything she learned and experienced made her the women she was today.

Bellatrix Black didn't love. It was a common fact in wizarding London that throughout her life Bellatrix Black had been incapable of love, well that's what they thought, in fact Bella did love, she loved the Dark Lord she loved power, she loved to inflict pain upon others, she loved killing and torture and she loved to hate blood traitors, filthy muggles and those horrid mudbloods. In all seriousness though once a long time ago, Bella did love, she loved her sisters and she loved her family, but then she grew up and learned that love was nothing but an inconvenience that should be taken care of as soon as possible. So in conclusion Bellatrix wasn't completely heartless, she just never used her heart.

Bellatrix Black was officially insane. Of course this wasn't really news to anyone, almost all of wizarding London already knew that, but now it's official, because Bellatrix had finally joined her family's legacy of greatness and had murdered her first muggle town. Not many people knew the inside details or how it happened, but what they did know is that Bella had slaughtered an entire town, the ministry had only found bodies and those too we're unidentifiable, she was also one of the Dark Lord's loyal followers and currently the 3rd most wanted criminal in the Wizarding London, so all in all she had done pretty well for herself, Bella was sure her ancestors would be proud.

Bellatrix Black was gone. After faithfully serving the Dark Lord for decades Bella was too far gone out into the madness to be saved. She had committed numerous crimes, and destroyed more lives then she remembers, she had tortured former fellow Hogwarts students, their children, their families, muggles, muggleborns, even some Pureblood traitors, he'll she even murdered her own cousin Sirius, but even in the end it wasn't enough for her, her bloodlust was never satisfied.

And when she died, she went with a hollow feeling in her chest, crazed and unfocused eyes and insane giggles bursting from her lips. In conclusion the life of Bellatrix Black wasn't a sad one, nor was it a happy one, it was a story in which you would feel pity while reading, because unlike her instead of seeing the world in black and white, in good and evil, the order VS deatheaters, you would see all the missed opportunities she never could.
