The man of her dreams
"Bellatrix Black?
After a thorough study of your character, your family and your past, we were able to determine the man of your dreams, the one you could love und honor above all else, till death do you part…"
It's just the surprise, that makes her listen, confusion, that paralyze her sharp tongue and eager wand for one oh so little moment – an instance of silence, one moment to long and she's in for it.
A rushed, enthusiastic torrent of words, that sweeps her away and along.
How strange.
How effeminate.
Irritating, sure.
And never, not even under the crutiatus would she admit, how oh so tempting it is.
"Of course his blood status, the reputation of his family and his wealth was already examined…
Well, your potential mate is an educated man, who after school traveled the world and hereby more than once came in touch with the dark arts, encounters, which very much formed his character and made big part of what he is now.
On his journeys he perfected his particular talent and began to build the impressive reputation he has in the wizarding world.
Today he is a famous man, whose newest deeds frequently adorn the front page of the Prophet and about whom people often and reverent talk.
Of course that leads to him having quite a few supporters, whom he knows exactly how to handle appropriate.
Some would say he is manipulative and indifferent to those that worship him.
But don't worry Bellatrix, even though he hides his true self from all the others, we are sure, that you and only you could get to know the real him, that only a woman like you will hold his heart in the end…
Some would say that your future husband unscrupulous makes his way, regardless of the people, he deems unworthy, because he is ambitious and only ever thinks about his own advantage.
It doesn't bother him, if others are left behind and he doesn't minds disposing of those that stand between him and his goal, either.
Many, if not all of his grand deeds are definitely illegal and would be punished with great firmness.
Some could even deem him evil.
Of course he is handsome as well in his own way and his charming smile can melt hearts…
Don't you feel positively giddy, when you think about this man that will soon be all yours?
Well, Bellatrix Black, the man of your dreams is…
- never-ending drum-roll, to which you would like to strangle each and every member of this trice damned orchestra, because you are impatient and it's just so very frustrating -
…Gilderoy Lockhart!"
„AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Eyes burning with madness in a shattered face, voice cracking up with rage and a blinding green flash.
Silence.
