Prologue_ Heir of Darkness

"How dare you say something like that to me, Lucius?!" Bellatrix snarled at Lucius Malfoy.

Bellatrix, Lucius, Snape, and other Death Eaters where gathered at the Malfoy mansion.

"You know I'm right, Bellatrix," Lucius said, "Just because the Dark Lord has chosen you to bear his offspring doesn't make you better than the rest of us; you're still just a servant. After the child is born you'll be nothing more than the caretaker of it."

"Don't mess with me!" Bellatrix, obviously enraged, pulled out her wand and aimed it right at Lucius. Lucius revealed his own wand to defend himself.

"Enough!" Snape ordered. The two fueding Death Eaters lowered their wands slowly. "All this negativity is surely not good for the child nor you, Bellatrix," Snape stated calmly.

Bellatrix looked at the half-blood prince.

Snape stood up from his seat, "What affects you also affects the child. If the child, girl or boy, is not in perfect health when it's born the Dark Lord, undoubtedly, will not be pleased."

Bellatrix sighed. She looked at her swollen belly and rubbed it gently when she felt the baby kick. "The child doesn't just belong to the Dark Lord," Bellatrix said, "The child is mine too."
