"I wish I loved you"
He spoke softly, so as not to disturb the sleeping figure.
"I know you love me"
She lay, so peacefully.
"I am unable to love"
He stood over her, casting a shadow across her pale form.
"But you are... my weakness"
An unnatural confused expression appeared on his snake-like face.
"For what I feel for you is as close to...love... as possible"
He spoke the word as if it was new, and alien.
"You can never know"
She didn't stir through his monologue.
"Only... I can't have a weakness"
His eyes flashed a deeper red than usual.
"My weakness must be destroyed"
A... tear... fell from his eye... he couldn't explain why.
"I'm sorry Bellatrix. Only I can live forever."
He raised his wand out towards her.
"AVADA KEDAVRA"
A flash of green light, and she was gone. His only weakness had been destroyed. He walked away, seemingly uncaring. It was too easy.
What the Dark Lord never knew was that she had heard the entire speech and had spent the last moments of her life in a state of pure joy and, for the first time in a long while, true happiness.
