This is purely for fun because i love this character. Yes she is of my own mind. But she's been my idea for years now and i felt it would be fun to publish this and yes it's got more to come. This is a gentler entrance. But i will warn some might get a little more erotic.. Only because that's what she's like sometimes. Sorry.
thanks in great to the NoSweeterDownfall, PecquiliaElizabeth and Bexygh for their support. x

I was the Black daughter my mother did not release into the world. My father was proud even though he wanted a son, he was proud to have another daughter. Mother, Druella, was not happy in the slightest that she'd had another child. As if three girls wasn't enough she had me, another female to the family. I was cared for by my parents well and brought up by them to know how we should be proud of our Pureblood heritage and treasure it and never forget the value of it. Even though I was not flaunted as a Black because my mother did not need the scandal I was known within the family and around certain circles.
I was taught how to walk, talk, sing and play instruments just as my sisters were before me from an early age, as early as possibly. I had an understanding of literature and culture and how Muggles had no knowledge of such things. Aside the obvious writers and thinkers who were thrown into the Muggle world when they were quite evidently in possession of magic and thinking far beyond their boundaries. From the tender age of three I had a keen interest in books and reading. Learning as much as I could from the books before enquiring about certain topics to my siblings or parents.
Mother had made me take dance classes. For considering Bellatrix was never one whom was meant to possess great grace and Narcissa seemed to emanate grace, I was sent to dance lessons with a private tutor. She was a wonderful woman, a Veela by obvious decent and with extraordinary grace. Pure long blonde hair that seemed never to end even when she'd wound it into a tight bun you could tell it was long. A beauty she had always been and would continue to be, and she was certain I would be the same, yet at 4 I didn't believe her.
My training in Ballet began early and I caught onto it quickly and practised as much as I could in my time at home but found it extremely difficult. I mean what with Narcissa and Bellatrix pestering me, it was a little bit more difficult. However I did and I became near perfect at it by my 10th birthday. At 7 she had also started to teach me how to do ballroom dancing, as she knew doing too much ballet all the time would bore me. So I learnt how to Foxtrot, Salsa, Rumba, and Tango... and excelled in all. It appears that dancing was one of my fortes. She did bring in some males to help with the couple dancing, a Man and his pupil who were also around the same age, we learnt together. He was called Ruben Larkin and he had wavy brown hair and a slight hint of a tan, with chocolate eyes that seemed constantly perplexed by something. Like me we danced well and picked up the routines and moves with obvious talent. Mother came to a dancing lesson once and was astounded that I was in possession of a talent other than magic like my sisters. Glad she'd paid for lessons for years when she had no idea if I could dance or not she let my teacher go and I never saw her again after my 11th birthday.
The day I received my Hogwarts letter. A proud day within my entire household and so the whole family was gathered into fathers drawing room to watch me open and read out my letter just as we had done for Andromeda, Bellatrix and Narcissa. It was a tedious affair and I was glad when I could creep into my room and read the letter over for myself. Feeling the light dim around me I lit a candle and read the letter for the fourth time.
I had of course had magic training from both my parents and my siblings who had already started at Hogwarts. I received basic spell tuition from my father, practising with his wand in the drawing room or garden, before acquiring my own at the earliest opportunity. He made sure I learnt everything I could possibly from him. Then Bellatrix came to me and taught me how to curse, and put spells on those who dared hurt me. My name was was well-known and prestigious throughout the magic world, and I had to uphold it. I knew that much from the age of five. Bella taught me how to defend myself, teaching me whenever we found a moment alone in the house, away from the presence of our parents
You know when people say curiosity killed the cat? Well that phrase applies to my dear sister Bellatrix. For in point of fact her curiosity killed our cat. The family cat was always prized and especially so by our dear Bella who seemed attached to her, and the cat returned her love. Inseparable when together and the little black cat was known on occasion to creep up the stairs and into Bella's room for she always kept the door ajar 'just in-case'. The little thing would curl up on the end of her bed and sleep.
She was the perfect little kitten and I was only young when we had her, Bella being quite a few years my elder. The cat was her life and she doted upon her with treats and petting non-stop whenever she was home. Damned animal more or less ignored the rest of the family whenever Bella was around because she was not a dumb animal; she knew where most of her attention came from.
Bellatrix had a morbid fascination with the dead, decaying and tortured. Something we both shared though she felt more passionately about such things. Then again, I was a lot younger than she was. However she felt too passionately about such matters and at one point after a session about the Unforgivable curses she showed me how to use them. She showed me on our poor cat.
The final curse the killing curse, being used as well on the unsuspecting cat and killing the poor cat. So in Bella's case, curiosity DID kill the cat.
I digress...
Further back in my past you would see that Bella and I had always been close, a certain bond that we had with nobody else. Sisters till the end and ones who were similar in style within certain themes. Obvious Bella and Cissy had their own bond, as they were closer in age than we were nevertheless we were close and she protected me with her life, as I did with her. Teaching me dark magic was only part of it, playing with bundles of lace and ribbon that we were given to play with. We just played together in fields and spent time as sisters. There were times where we argued as sisters do though they never seemed to last long with us. Bella never got on with Andromeda, I can never really remember them getting on well like we did, or like Bella and Cissy did. Andi just didn't fit in with the family from the start. Long before I can remember.
The odd one out always was and will always remain so…Traitor to our name.
Mother had never the time to favourite any single one of us and so we were content with our own worlds of parental figure and not having to fight for affection for we each received the same amount. Even when Alexander was born, our brother who was never mentioned in outer circles, as mother didn't want it known there were more of us. Too many children, not something she wanted to have; yet she had them. When she got pregnant again she kept the child until birth then gave her away to a family. I only saw a glimpse of a small thing wrapped in a bundle of blankets. We were told she was dead; later on in life I found out I had been lied to.
Life at home was always eventful as people came and went as they pleased as mother had many friends, as did Bella. Meeting the friends of Bella and Cissy. Death eaters. So many of them appearing and disappearing from the house on so many occasions throughout my life. There were the ones with blonde hair, brown hair, tall, short, fat, and thin and everything and anything in-between. Then there was Fenrir Greyback. He was more than a man, more than a monster. The man petrified me from the first time I met him. A towering figure with fierce teeth, whenever he smiled at me he sent shivers through my body. Having to hide the terror whenever the Death Eaters appeared and he was with them. Bella had a strange fascination with him. They bickered like nobodies business but I could tell by the way her eyes glittered she was contemplating something whenever they were together.... but it was never my place to say as she'd mock me into air, press me down with her wit. That really was her way.
When I was at Hogwarts I only really ever saw Narcissa, as we were in there together... though she was quite a few years above me.
Hogwarts was where my life really started....
