A/N: This is my attempt at a free verse for Bellatrix. I know Bellatrix probably doesn't hate Narcissa but I just wanted to put that in so that it would fit in with the free verse. I figured that Bella had a hard time growing up and then she rises to the "top" and stuff.
So anyway, I hope you like it. Happy reading! :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
You were
Bellatrix Proserpina Black;
Eldest daughter of
Cygnus Black and Druella Rosier.
You're a pureblood of
The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black.
Yet you were not loved.
You were the first-born child
(who should have been a boy)
yet you are the least loved.
::
Your father always
p u n i s h e d
you
(not Andy or Cissy)
and your mother disliked you
for being so troublesome
and loud and stubborn.
Your cousins hated you
because you were
oldersmarterbetter
than they were.
You sisters disliked you
because you were
too energetic, too loud,
and annoying.
::
Years have passed.
You are no longer
Bellatrix Proserpina Black.
You are
Bellatrix Lestrange
wife of rich, Slytherin, pureblood
Rodolphus Lestrange.
Your life is perfect now.
Your (arranged) marriage is
p e r f e c t
bringing honor to your family.
::
You're a Death Eater too.
The best of the best.
The Dark Lord's most trusted servant
and right-hand person.
People fear your name.
You're rich, dedicated to
the Dark Lord,
and you're
p o w e r f u l.
You're one of the most
fearedrespectedpowerful
people in the wizarding world.
::
So look now.
Your mother and father
are sick.
Almost dead.
They have accomplished
nothing
(nothing at all)
in this world.
Your sister
(the blood-traitor)
is married to a
M u d b l o o d
(so revolting)
and your other sister
slaves for her husband and the Dark Lord.
She's not even a Death Eater.
::
Your aunts and uncles
sisters and cousins
and parents
are dead or
reduced to nothing of importance.
You were the only one
to rise above your family,
to rise above society.
So now,
look down on them,
judge them,
(ignoreavoidscorn them)
the way they
looked down on you.
