A/N: Hi, it's me again, I was thinking of writing this fic, because I was talking with a teacher at school and she reviewed "The Show Must Go On" for me, and we were discussing how I could improve my work, and she said maybe write about what Azkaban looked like, so I hope ive done that! And we also spoke about what would happen if Bellatrix saw Sirius in Azkaban and I said she would probably attempt to kill him, but I've sort of changed my idea from that. When I was writing this I was listening to The Emilie Autumn Album Fight Like A Girl, so I think it helped me pick up how Bellatrix was feeling, and what I think she was thinking. Please Read and Review Quotes from the books are in Italics. I Love to hear your opinion. Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters mentioned, They Belong to the epicness which is JK Rowling, and Warner Brothers. I also do not own The Fight Like A Girl album by Emilie Autumn, (even though I didn't use any of the words from any songs I was only listening to it). xxx- TheDarkMistressBellatrix
The Dark Lord will rise again, Crouch! Throw us into Azkaban; we will wait! He will rise again and will come for us, he will reward us beyond any of his other supporters! We alone were faithful! We alone tried to find him!"-Bellatrix Lestrange
"Any Last Requests?" Asked the guard, he was a tall man, with his hair slicked back, "I would like to see my brother" Replied Rabastan Lestrange, he was very young, he had only just turned 25, and was currently holding a one way ticket for a life imprisonment in Azkaban, the high security wizarding prison, in the next cell, his sister in law, Bellatrix Black Lestrange was just asked the same question, "I would like to see my husband." and Rodolphus Lestrange was also asked, and he requested to see his wife and brother.
When they all entered Bellatrix's cell she burst into tears and practically fell into Rodolphus' arms, all he could do was hold her, and kiss the tears away. Rabastan had entered 5 minutes later, and he walked in and sat next to his brother, who was currently trying to calm his wife. "I can't believe this happened to us, its all my fault!" sobbed Bellatrix. "Calm down Bella, it will be alright, it's not just your fault,-" "No you're only saying that to make me feel better. If I wasn't as foolish, and listened to you when the aurors started to arrive when I was torturing the Longbottoms we would not be in this situation." Answered Bellatrix. "Rabastan, i'm so sorry that we pulled you into this, we never meant for you to have to go through this" said Rodolphus who was still holding his wife in a failed attempt to comfort her. "Don't put the blame on yourself dear brother, it was my fault too, It was my idea to tag along with you, I just hope that Barty is okay" Replied Rabastan.
They had already been stripped of all their belongings, including their wands, just as Bellatrix was reaching down to touch her wedding ring, the tears fell once more realizing once more that the guards had taken it from her. The same happened with Rodolphus, but the only difference was that he did not cry, he had to stay strong for both his wife and brother. "I'm so sorry" Muttered Bellatrix over and over again. "We have been faithful, he will return one day, and when he does I know that we will be rewarded beyond our wildest dreams" The second that Rabastan finished his sentence Rodolphus finally let his tough exterior show, and he finally let the tears flow. Rabastan quickly hugged his brother and sister in law tightly before quietly and slowly returning to his cell before the given time, he didn't want to seem weak in front of his brother and sister in law, and he knew that they probably wanted some time alone.
Once he had left, Rodolphus lifted Bellatrix's face up to his level and quietly said "We will get through this mon amour" "I know but we must stay strong, if not only for the Dark Lord, but for each other My Love." replied Bellatrix. Just as Rodolphus kissed his wife tenderly, not knowing that it would be the last time he kissed his wife for fourteen years. The guard who was very tall with the slicked back hair suddenly pulled Bellatrix out of his arms and started to drag her away. His last words to Bellatrix were "goodbye mon amour, I will hopefully see you again soon!" and Bellatrix responded with tears in her eyes, "I will see you soon my love, if not now, some time in the future!" and the guard dragged her down the hall.
When Bellatrix first arrived on the Island in which Azkaban was she was scared, it was very stormy outside and the sea was at very high levels, suddenly she was walked through the halls of Azkaban with chains on her arms, rattling as she walked with the guards by her side. With her head held high, she walked through the cold halls of Azkaban hearing things such as "look it's the Dark Lord's Woman. I heard she slept with him to get her dark mark. why don't you come over here and give me a show?" She refused to let the tears fall, she knew that she had to be strong, for her Love, the Dark lord, she could also hear the dementors and she felt their presence. very quickly she was thrown into a small temporary cell. As her head hit the floor she rolled over on to her side and adopted a fetal position to try and comfort herself, when another guard came in holding her prison number placard, and another two guards where there one to hold her down, and another to tattoo her number on to her neck. The whole time that happened she refused to let the tears fall. When she refused to change into the inmates robes, she was beaten until she was almost broken. With her last ounce of energy, she changed into the inmates robes, and allowed herself to be pulled by guards to her high security cell.
When she was thrown into her cold, dark cell, she finally let the tears fall, until she heard a familiar voice, "Bellatrix?" "Sirius, is that you!?" She asked with the smallest amount of hope in her voice. "Yes it is, finally got caught didn't you cousin?" "Yes, but he will return, i know he will, anyway what are you doing here?" "I'm here on a false charge, everyone thinks that I betrayed the Potters, but it wasn't me, it was Wormtail". Bellatrix looked at him through her cell with a confused look upon her face. "Peter Pettigrew" added Sirius. Before Bellatrix could respond a dementor made its way into her cell, and it started to remove all her happy memories, the fun school holidays she spent with Narcissa, when she first started Hogwarts, when she was sorted into Slytherin, and the dementor finally tried to remove the memory of the time she received her Dark Mark, and when she shared the Dark Lord's bed for the first time, but it stopped noticing that Bellatrix was already on the floor sobbing her heart out.
"Bella?" Asked Sirius, wanting to know if his cousin was alright. he recieved no reply, untill "DON'T YOU TALK TO ME YOU FILTHY BLOOD TRAITOR, IF I WAS NOT CHAINED TO THIS WALL YOU WOULD NOT BE ALIVE ANYMORE! YOU AND MY FILTHY BLOODTRAITOR OF A SISTER ANDROMEDA ARE DEAD TO ME, YOU WOULD BOTH BE DEAD IF I COULD HAVE MY WAY! AND ANDROMEDA'S DEAR DAUGHTER, NYMPHADORA! YOU BOTH CAUSED SO MUCH DEVISTATION TO THE BLACK FAMILY, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WERE SORTED INTO GRYFFINDOR, THANK MERLIN FOR CISSY AND MYSELF, WITHOUT CISSY THE BLACK FAMILY WOULD NOT HAVE AN HEIR WHO IS NOT A BLOOD TRAITOR!"
After her loud rant Bellatrix crawled into a fetal position on the cold dark floors, sobbing in an attempt to calm herself, while caressing her Dark Mark, saying things like "i know you may not be here physically My Lord, but I know you're here in my mind, I have your mark, so you must be in my presence." That was the last time in which Sirius attempted to talk to his cousin, and in his opinion, her decent into insanity began on that first night in Azkaban. In Bellatrix's opinion that was the night when she decided that she would never lose her faith.
