4/7/15: Hey guys! So, I just wanted to say that this story is inspired by another one called "Little Stars" by bellstrange51. So, a lot of the beginning is "inspired" (it's practically copied,) from her's. The daughter, the nicknames, possibly the labor scene (I think.). And the the daughter's middle name being Aquila, because in "Little Stars" the daughter is actually NAMED Aquila. Also, listing dates and places was her idea, too, and the characters make a "pop" sound when they apparate. Or the house elves. Or both... So, yeah. Just had to give her credit.
Black Manor; March 20th, 1973
Bellatrix Black put on her new veil and sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a beautiful, French style, white, Wedding gown that was adourned with pearls and diamonds. The dress had been made by her sister, Nacrissa Black.
"Bella? Are you ready?" Said the voice of her sister.
"Almost," Bellatrix replied. She glanced at the wooden table beside her and almost smiled as she saw the signatures at the bottom.
Rodolphus Dreymon Lestrange & Bellatrix Proserpina Black
In a matter of two hours, she'd be known as Bellatrix Lestrange. She finally stepped out of her room and glanced down at her feet as her younger sister gasped and brought her hands to her mouth.
"Does it look... Alright?" Bellatrix asked quietly holding out the beautiful gown. It clung to her hourglass figure, but at the waist it began to fan out. The sleeves were very tight though, and Bellatrix wasn't in favor of the white flats.
Her sister put a hand over her heart and looked up at Bellatrix with a watery smile and tear-brimming eyes. "You look beautiful."
1 Hour Later
Bella walked to her old room. It had her pink satin bed with gold on it. A small rocking chair, and the walls were pastel pink. Teddy-bears sat happily on the white shelves and the small moving portraits on the walls showed Bella when she was 6 and younger.
She walked to the window and folded her arms. Outside was the oak tree she used to sit on, and all the dead flowers below. The sun was just begginging to set, creating a beautiful pink sky with gold lining on the rims of clouds. Birds chirped in the distance, and everything was very still and perect; just like in a picture.
Bellas' POV
I had moved from this room when I was about 9. I had been mad and had thought over things on the oak tree. That was when I put my finished diary into a box and locked it. I had charmed only the key to unlock it. I had always wore it around my neck. I threw the key out of the window that night. I left the trunk in my closet, took a few things, and moved into another room on the floor above.
This was the first time I had come in my room since then. The door had been locked, drapes shut, and forgotten. Now... now, I wasen't the frilly pink little helpless girl I used to be. I never would be sweet Bellatrix Black again. I had made that vow after I swore to my cousin, Sirius, that I would kill him one day. Then, I got the Dark Mark. I looked at it as I rolled the sleeve of the dress down. I quickly pulled it back up. I've had the mark for only 3 years, and I've already killed lots of mudbloods. They are not worth anything, least magic.
"Bella. Bella, come on! We're about to start the ceramony!" I can hear my sister calling from downstairs. I sigh and leave the room I used to love. I lock the door and vow to myself.
I will never be the same...
End of POV
1 Hours and Forty-Five Minutes Later
Bellatrix breathed out. Here it came. The vows.
She had never been so shaky, of course, perhaps when she was receiving the Dark Mark, but this was different. She had been told of her arranged-marriage to Rodolphus 1 year prior to the Wedding. She had known him at school and never thought much of a Romantic Relationship. She had been admired been many, yes, but she never dated just for the fact that she knew she would have an arranged-marriage.
At first... she had resented it. She didn't exactly find Rodolphus as being her husband, but... that all changed over the year they had to bond. She went over every other week and had dinner with his family. Her and Rodolphus became very close and almost inseppreable. She called him Rod and her called her Bella. She found that she really was in love with him, and he felt the same.
But, a wedding was different than eating dinner at his parents manor. If you made a slip-up... It lasted forever. She smiled a bit at Rodolphus, who smiled back. Her hair was straight and she wished that it wasn't brushed so that it could fall infront of her face and hide her from the crowd. Rodolphus's eyes twinkled as the Minister began to speak to him, and he turned from Bella to look at the Minster.
"Do you... Rodolphus Dreymon Lestrange, take Bellatrix Proserpina Black, to be you're lawfully wedded wife? In sickness in health, in torture in pain, in love in hate, in light in darkness, in purity of blood in children, so long as you live?"
Rodolphus turned back to Bella. "I Do," He said, knowing that he meant it, and staring at Bella while giving her hands a re-assuring squeze.
"Do you... Bellatrix Proserpina Black, take Rodolphus Dreymon Lestrange, to be you're lawfully wedded husband? In sickness in health, in torture in pain, in love in hate, in light in darkness, in purity of blood in children, so long as you live?"
Bellatrix bit her lip and felt her stomach twist up into a knot and her heart beat so loud, she thought everyone might hear it. She stared at Rodolphus. Somehow... by looking at his beautiful chocolate brown eyes... it took all her worry away.
"I-I Do," The words tumbled off her lips, and Bellatrix meant it. She would love Rodlphus until the end of time. She knew it.
The Minister looked out at the crowd. "Are there... any objections to these two's Love and Marriage?"
There were no objections.
The minister raised his hands up above him. "Then by the power vested in me... I now pronounce these two... Mr. and Mrs. Lestrange!"
Everyone clapped and stood and smiled happliy and watched as Rodolphus kissed Bellatrix. Bellatrix smiled now and felt safe in Rodolphus's arms.
"Bella... I love you," Rodolphus said softly.
Bellatrix smiled. "I love you too, Rod."
The First Chapter is Done! Yay! I am so excited to write this story! It'll be about Bellatrix's daughter, but I had to give some background, first. Now, about the story. There will be this and two other chapters before her daughter is born. I have her daughters name picked out already. But, I'll keep you guessing. I'll have many chapters up, and I do update quickly, unless I'm sick of course. So, yes. Just to tell you. ...Randomness...
So, also. You can tell me what you think. I don't mind a bit of critisism. Just, no flames. I do work hard and I don't like disrespect. Also, no bad words. Of course, no one has cursed in their reveiw, so that's pretty much covered. I, personally, never used bad words. Never. I never have and never will.
Now. I will do these at the end of each chapter. I think their very nifty, and I look forward to speaking and eanswering quiestions. So, you are welcome to read my other stories. The majority is Harry Potter. Yay! Harry Potter! Yeah, and I'll also do a story reccomendaation. Look! I think there's one! \/ SCROLL DOWN! (hehe...)
Book Rec.: Greater Stars by bellastrange51
Okay, I've about covered everything. Oh wait what was that thing... Oh Yeah! REVEIW! Please reveiw. I love hearing you guys, and I really want info on my story. I love you're reveiws! So, please! Reveiw!
If you thought my story was boring, yeah. I sort of did too. But, rest assured, it will get better! WRITERS OATH! Also, I really knew that Bellatrix was out of character, but I did put a little Bellatrixy things in there, right?
