《Bellatrix Lestrange》Chapter 37
Advertisement
Rodolphus burst in through the door, his face red with anger. His fists were clenched and his heart was racing. "BELLATRIX!" He yelled.
Bellatrix ran down the stairs, it was late so she was wearing a short black nightdress and a black silk robe. "Rod what is it?" She said, walking closer to him.
"Why are you leaving me out of this Bella? This is my baby too you know!" He yelled, and then punched Bellatrix in the cheek, causing her to stumble back.
"Stop it Rod!" Bellatrix said. "What's going on? What's happening to you?"
"You use me, Bella. You use me. I loved you Bella. And now I realise the truth, that you will never love me back," he said, kicking Bellatrix in the shin.
"Stop!" Bellatrix cried. "I admit, maybe I didn't love you to start, but I have learnt to love you, Rod, I really have,"
"Why do you do do everything without me, then?" He raged, pushing a glass vase off the table and it smashed on the floor. "You picked out a name? Again! You knew I wanted to help choose last time, but you picked anyway, and I let you. Never again, Bella, never again,"
"The name is decided Rod, let it go," Bellatrix said dismissively.
"Francesca Aurora? That's not very traditional now, Bella, is it?" Rodulphus mocked.
"Well I tried traditional once, and look see it got me." Bellatrix snapped. "I lost my baby once before, and I'm doing everything I should have done for Hermione."
"I did too Bella!" Rodulphus said. "She was my daughter too! We need to protect this one, to hand her to the ministry."
Bellatrix looked at Rodulphus's face, his eyes were glazed, they almost seemed scared. She'd seen this before, in the past the ministry of magic has used people who were close to someone to access otherwise private information, or for manipulation. Rodulphus wasn't in control, if she touched him he wouldn't feel it, whoever was controlling him would. Bellatrix was going to have fun with this.

"I'm sorry baby," She said in a seductive voice, throwing whoever she was talking to off guard. "Its just..its been difficult without a man around," she put her arms around his shoulders.
Rodulphus gave her a confused look. "What are you doing?"
Bellatrix kissed him suddenly and looked strait in his absent eyes. "Let's go upstairs," she whispered in his ear.
"No I don't want to go upstairs," Rodulphus said, clearly very uneasy.
"Here? Honey, you really haven't changed..." Bellatrix grinned, loving being able to play the ministry like that. She kissed him again. "Remind me of what happened a week after my 22nd birthday," referring to when she became pregnant with Hermione.
"What happened that a week after that?" Rodulphus said, clearly on edge.
"Don't joke around rod, you remember," Bellatrix grinned. She put her legs round his waist and pulled herself up, her head just above Rodulphus's. She kissed him again. "Now, you ready?"
"I can't!" Rodulphus said, putting her down and shaking his head.
"You can't what?" Bellatrix said, laughing. "I could tell what you were doing from the start, I don't know how stupid the ministry thinks I am,"
"How could you tell?"
"The eyes," Bellatrix said. "Normally, I would let you go, but I happen to know that if I kill you in this state, you die in reality,"
"How would that information be important now?" Rodulphus said cautiously.
"It's not important," Bellatrix said. "Unless you tell me why the ministry wants my baby,"
Rodulphus sighed. "Fine, come with me," he said. Bellatrix took his arm and they apparated to Hogwarts.
"I thought you couldn't apparate in Hogwarts." Bellatrix said.
"There are some exceptions." Rodulphus said. He took a vial out of his pocket and poured it into to pensieve. "The ministry has seen a possible future, take a look," he pointed at the pensieve.

Nervously, Bellatrix put her head into the pensieve and was taken to a room with two girls in it. They were arguing.
"I'm done with this Ana!" One of the yelled. They were both Hogwarts students, also both Hufflepuff, the one talking had brown hair just like Hermione and dark eyes like Bellatrix. Clearly, Bellatrix's daughter. The other had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes, she was a little bit taller than her companion.
"Done with what? That your mother is a creep? That she killed my parents?" The girl called 'Ana' screamed back.
"She would never hurt your parents, so shut up!" The other said. "Do you know how hard it is for me Ana? I'm already a disgrace to my mother and now your trying to kill her! Your evil!"
"I have to do this Chessie, I have to," Ana said, holding her wand up. "And if your not my with me, you against me,"
"No!" The girl she called 'Chessie' cried. "I won't let you!"
"Fine," Ana snapped. "AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Bellatrix's daughter dropped dead. And then the image went black, fast forwarding again. It was of an older witch, blonde hair and blue eyes, she looked about thirty years old. She was standing in front of a large crowd of people, with her hands.
"There was Gellert Grindlewald," She said. "And then there was Tom Riddle. But no more. This is the start revolution, where women are the feared ones!" She said, receiving a cheer from her crowd. "The name Tom Riddle will be nothing in comparison to Francesca Lestrange!"
Then Bellatrix came out of the pensieve, she was panting heavily. "That wasn't my daughter," she said instantly.
"Yes, it was," Rodulphus said. "She said quite clearly that her name was Francesca Lestrange,"
"Yes, but she looked like the girl called 'Ana',"
"I knew, I don't know why, probably a code name," Rodulphus said.
"No, my daughter was the one that got killed, Chessie," Bellatrix said.
"That doesn't sound right," Rodulphus defended.
"I could tell, and the real Rodulphus would tell as well, the hair the eyes, it's obvious that the girl who died was the real Francesca Lestrange, and 'Ana' was just using her name,"
"I don't know," Rodulphus sighed. "But I do know this, the ministry is convinced that your daughter is the next extreme dark witch, and you won't be able to change there minds,"
