A little different for me, but give it a chance! Reviews are always lovely.

Confession 1
Bellatrix was a disappointment to her mother. Druella was a prime example of a Rosier (her surname before she married Cygnus); blonde hair and blue eyes. Bella was born to them with dark hair and dark eyes; a typical Black which Druella did not like. To add to this, Bella's parents were disappointed in her gender as they badly wanted a male heir.

Confession 2
Although Bellatrix pretended that her marriage to Rodolphus Lestrange was cold and bitter, the pair loved each other passionately even if their short tempers and cold hearts sometimes blocked this from others' views.

Confession 3
Bellatrix was a bright young witch though her school grades didn't show this off. She would skip her classes regularly and sneak off with her boyfriend (or boyfriends as was sometimes the case). Also, she would use this "free" time to go into the Forbidden Forest and practice duelling with her Slytherin friends.

Confession 4
When alone at home, which wasn't very often, Bella would sing and dance and pretend she was part of the, then, new band The Weird Sisters. Once, Narcissa caught her doing this and got herself a wedgie for laughing.

Confession 5
Bellatrix got in trouble from her father when she brought a pet snake home when she was 16. She had been given 20 Galleons for her birthday and told to spend it on whatever she wanted. Naturally, she thought having to take the snake back to the shop completely unfair.

Confession 6
Bellatrix tried once to teach Narcissa how to use the Cruciatus Curse but only got annoyed at her slow progress and gave up. Narcissa wasn't happy about this and the sisters didn't talk for 2 weeks.

Confession 7
Bellatrix managed to attain an Outstanding in her potions OWL by flirting with Professor Slughorn. Whether he was seduced or just plain scared of the girl is still unknown.

Confession 8
In the heat of the summer in Bella's 18th year, she got so wound up with Sirius's tricks and pranks that she snuck into his bedroom and forced pollyjuice potion containing her own hair down the throat of the girl Sirius was sleeping with. His scream echoed for miles when he woke up in the morning.

Confession 9
Bellatrix turned up to her wedding wearing a black gown and was shoved, non-hesitantly, into the Ladies by her mother to change. As she knew Bellatrix so well, Druella had brought a "lovely" white frilly dress with her for her daughter to wear instead. Bella was not happy.

Confession 10
If Bellatrix had never joined the Death Eaters she would have worked in the Department of Mysteries at the MoM. She was always fascinated by that particular department and therefore jumped at the chance to get to go there and have a snoop around (while trying to get the prophecy) after the breakout of Azkaban.
