Are You Dreaming?

A word, used to describe a woman. One simple word that would, inevitably, change the course of her life forever. "Insane." And that, she was. Bellatrix was not a woman to be reckoned with, for her power and her vitality echoed off her like a perpetual aura. But she also had an aura, not as pleasant, continually echoing off her, as well. An aura of craziness. For, after years of practicing the Dark Arts with the darkest man of all, it was no wonder darling Bella became a bit less darling and a bit more maniacal.

Taken from dictionary.reference.com:

Are You Wondering?

Bellatrix (Black) Lestrange. A woman of so much power and significance, a woman that alone changed so many things and ideas in the world of Harry Potter. A woman that almost created Harry Potter for who he was. Voldemort's right hand woman. Married, yet we all knew who was her only love. Not her husband. Not even a man. The Dark Lord. Born to a pureblood family, Bellatrix was deeply immersed in the Dark Arts, and her intelligence and grasp of so many difficult concepts perhaps fueled her later insanity. Because that was what she was. A Death Eater, a woman, and absolutely insane. Bellatrix Lestrange. Do you wonder about her? Does she haunt your dreams, the very fiber of your being? Are you scared of her? Because you should be.
