Hola! Im so so so so sooooooo sorry! Just overload from school work, issues with friends, issues with family, health issues...
But here I am! Writing a new chapter! (Which I still cant believe anyone likes!) Hey! Anyone else in Pottermore?! I turned out to be a Hufflepuff...I still love you Bellatrix!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The letter from the Dark Lord brought back a lot of memories for Bellatrix. Some were memories she was glad she didnt forget. Others...not so much.
August 21st 1962
Just eleven days before young Bellatrix Black was due to start Hogwarts.
Bella wouldnt admit it to anyone, but she was scared.
She sat on her bed, huddled in the corner, clutching a fluffy pillow to her chest, thinking about her sorting
What if she was placed in a house other than Slytherin? What if she turned out to be a....a Gryffindor?!
Her mother would be disappointed with her. Her father probably wouldnt speak to her. What would Andy think?! And Cissy?! They wouldnt love her anymore.
There was a knock at the door and Bellatrix looked up in time to see her mother walk in.
Her mother, Druella Black, sat down on the bed next to Bellatrix and pulled her close to her chest.
"Bella," She started gently. "Whats on your mind, darling? Did you accidently set your father's work report on flames again?" She looked down into Bellatrix's deep brown eyes.
Bellatrix sighed and took her gaze away from her mother. She was afraid she would start crying. Bellatrix Black did NOT cry. She sighed, and started to explain her worries.
"No mother, I havent. Its just..." Bellatrix stopped so she could sallow the lump that was rising in her throat. She would NOT cry!
"What is it, Bella? Its ok. You can tell me." Druella gave her daughter a gentle squeeze that encouraged her daughter to continue.
"Its just that Im worried about Hogwarts, mother! You tell me Im going to get into Slytherin, and that Im going to make you proud, and you say it like your so sure! What if I get sorted into Gryffindor? Or Hufflepuff?! Or Ravenclaw?! Your not going to love me then, are you?! Your going to toss all my possesions onto the street, and then when I get home from Hogwarts in June, your not going to be there to pick me up, and I will probably have to go live in an orphanage full of MUGGLES!" After spiting out the last word like the disgusting word it was, Bellatrix angrily wiped away a few tears that had managed to roll down her cheek, shoved her mother away, and stomped to the other side of the room.
She heard her mother lightly chuckle before talking to her daughter, again, in a soft, gentle voice.
"Oh, Bella! You are definitely Slytherin material! And you will never go to one of those other houses! Trust me Bella, I can see it. You, my darling, are going to be great! Your going to be well known one day! Your going to make your father and I proud! Dont you worry your beautiful little head about it!"
Bellatrix turned back to her mother to see a small knowing smile. She sniffled, walked back into her mothers arms. Druella wrapped her arms tightly around Bellatrix and kissed the top of her head.
"But say the sorting hat makes a mistake," Came Bellatrix's muffled voice from Druella's chest. "Say the hat does put me in another house. You wont make me live with muggles, right?!" Bellatrix sounded panicked, and Druella let another small chuckle escape her lips.
"Bella, I will never send you to live with scum like that! I love you too much! What would Andy do without her big sister? Or Cissy? Bellatrix Black, you are, and always will be loved!"
September 2nd 1962
'Dear mother, father, Andy and Cissy,
I did it! Im in Slytherin! Are you proud?
I dont have any friends in my year, because they are all a bunch of idiots. Most of them promote equal rights between blood statuses! Its ok though, I dont need friends! It gives me more time to learn the important stuff that they dont teach you in class.
Hogwarts is just what I expected it to be. Well, with Dumbledore as headmaster, you know its not exactlly perfect.
Did you know they dont teach you important spells, like the torture curse?! Will you teach me when I get home, father? Its a rather important skill to have, knowing that curse!
Anyway, I have to go now! I have potions in ten minutes. Its taught by some fool, Professor Slughorn. He looks like he eats too much at these feast they have here.
Andy, Cissy, stay out of my room!
~Bella'
Bellatrix quickly learnt that she wasnt going to learn anything useful during her time at Hogwarts, so she befriended the older Slytherin students, who taught her everything she would need to know.
They also told her of their plans to become Death Eaters, and quickly filled her mind with ideas to do so as well.
So now Bellatrix Black had one dream, and one dream only.
She was going to become the Dark Lords most loyal servant.

So is this ok? Let me know!
