Bellatrix Black knew what was expected of her. Coming from one of the noble and most ancient pureblood families, she had a legacy to carry on -- a legacy she'd never fulfill thanks to her sister's Mudblood best friend.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE bellatrix's betrayal
.·:*¨༺ ☾ ༻¨*:·.
𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐗'𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏, the Golden Trio, Dorothea, and Luna were able to get the Horcrux that was Helga Hufflepuff's cup destroyed. The two younger teens had insisted on staying with the trio. Dorothea argued against Juniper when she tried to take her home saying that the five of them were in the hunt together.
Juniper agreed to let her continue, but only on the condition that they would allow her to go with them for extra protection. Reluctantly, they agreed. There were only a couple more left, anyway, and Harry knew for sure that one was somewhere inside of the Hogwarts castle.
The only problem was that Voldemort knew now that they were hunting Horcruxes. What he didn't know was that his most loyal follower had aided them, as well as revealed that his pet snake, Nagini, was a Horcrux.
"Do you have to go?" Juniper asked in a whisper, her arms wrapped around Bellatrix's neck.
"I have to, little one." Bellatrix pressed a tender kiss to Juniper's temple. "I have a role to play, remember? The Dark Lord doesn't know about my infidelity."
"There's a battle coming, isn't there?" Dorothea asked, anxiously fidgeting with the sleeve of her sweater.
"Yes." Juniper nodded, blinking back tears. She put an arm around her goddaughter and kissed the top of her head. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you, Thea. That's a promise."
"But who's going to protect you?" Dorothea asked, frowning.
"I will," Bellatrix said. Dorothea looked up at her, a cross between fear and adoration in her brown eyes that were so similar to Andromeda's. "I will keep her safe, Tria."
"Thea. It's not that hard, Auntie Bella. Just repeat after me: Dorr—"
"What do you take me for, an idiot?" Bellatrix scowled. Dorothea stared up at her with a serious stare. The woman rolled her eyes and repeated begrudgingly, "Dorr."
"Uh."
"Uh."
"Thee."
"Thee."
"Uh."
"Uh."
"Dorothea."
"Dorolisa."
"Okay, now you're just doing it on purpose!" Dorothea's brows scrunched when Juniper failed to contain her amused giggle. "It's not funny, Auntie June!"
"I mean . . . " Juniper exchanged a look with Bellatrix, who smirked with a small shrug of her shoulder. "It's a little funny. She's just messing around with you, Thea. Don't take it too personally."
