The Diary of Bellatrix Lestrange

Something There

August 23

Sirius, Regulas and I are going to Diagon Alley tomorrow to shop for school supplies. I can't wait for term to start so I won't have to be around my parents anymore.

August 24

We just got home from shopping, and I got everything I needed. I spotted a few of my friends, and even Rouphledus. He gave me a small smile then went away with his friends. Sirius spotted some of his friends and so did Regulas so I was left alone.

I got my new robes and books. As I left I bumped into someone. It was Tom. We chatted and he helped me get the things I will need for my last year. He graduated last term, so he will no longer be at school.

We got coffee and chatted for awhile before I had to find Regulas and Sirius to return home. I hugged Tom goodbye and he placed a kiss on my cheek before I left.

I woke this morning to find my trunk by the door and my closet completely empty. Mother and Father have insisted I stay with my "husband" for the rest of the summer and every holiday after. I'm sitting in the car now being driven there. I hate that I have to suffer because they refuse to see my side of the story.

I'll be stuck there forever. The only good thing that comes out if this is I'll be able to attend more meetings. I'm happy my ray of sunshine still won't be far.

Rouphledus and I have gotten closer the past few days. Since we've been stuck together I've tried to make the most of it. It's like there is something there, but not love. More of a mutual feeling of pity for the other. We are both miserable is this relationship, that much I can tell.

We sit and play board games and tell childhood stories in the parlor. As much as I loath being married I him, he is a nice man. Just not the one I wanted to marry. I can tell he is less than happy in the arrangement. At least there is some kind of feeling there.

I'm currently sitting on my bed at Hogwarts. I can't believe I get to see my friends and be a normal kid again. All the stress of home and marriage is off my shoulders as I sit among my friends.
