I am The Dark Lady (ABANDONED)

Rodolphus' Punishment

Idk why i have This headcannon that all the letters in the HP universe are strangely formal but Hell. I'm goin with it.

Dear Rod,
Thank you for your condolences on the shock betrayal that left my family in tatters, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately Hannah and I have had a fallen out around the same time you had left so you needn't worry about us spending too much time together as of recent.

I agree with you on the terms that the BloodTraitors name will never be mentioned from this moment forward.

I apologise for not sending you a letter as of late, it appears that I have been preoccupied what with the Disownment and everything. There is also another thing that has prevented me from sending letters that we need to speak about in person. I promise that I'm not angry about our spat the day you left.

I'm happy to hear you shall be home sooner than expected but Your brother, Rabastan, has recently informed me of your plans to celebrate your return and successful mission but I must inform you that these plans simply cannot happen, as the Dark Lord himself has requested a private de brief of your mission and an audience with the two of us.

See you soon,
Love Bellatrix
Xx

Bellatrix Black -Lestrange Had ultimately decided that she abso-fucking-lutley hates her life.

She grunted in frustration as she finally put down her quill upon finishing the mountain of files that Voldemort basically forced her to take. She leaned back in her chair with a sigh and a frown etched upon her face.

This is not what she signed up for.

The Grandfather clock in the corner of her husbands office, where she had seated herself to sort the papers out, chimed 12, startling her. It was noon, which meant her husband was due home any minute now. Bella bit her lip apprehensively and immediately stood to gather the papers up and exit the office as Rodolphus normally wouldn't allow her in there. Once she had moved herself downstairs into the lounge, right where the floo fireplace was, she busied herself by going through the mountain of papers once more to seem like she was occupied, should Rodolphus run into her by coming through the floo system.

"Mistress Bella?" Krecher suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Yes?" Bella didn't glance up from the bank statements she was currently re-reading.

"Master Rodolphus has apparated into his office" The house Elf informed her and promptly disappeared, probably to complete the task that her husband had set him. Bella paused and slowly looked up, a slight smirk on her face as she pondered just how lucky she was at that present moment in time.

Glancing at her yellowed wrist, she purposely wore a small sleeved dress to show Rodolphus the Dark Mark that she bore on her left arm, she kissed her teeth and scowled as she slowly stood back up and wandered throughout her house to his office upstairs. The one she was in just minutes ago. Merlin Damn Bella was really lucky.

"Dolph" She hesitantly knocked on the door.

"Come In, Bella" His calm voice drifted out. Bella repeatedly cursed in her mind over and over again as she slowly pushed the ornate door open and walked in. "Now, What's so important that you must interrupt my brother and I-" Immediately, Rodolphus spotted the blemish on her upper arm and his indifferent expression morphed into one of shock and confusion.
