Dying Flames

by white.satin.rosebuds

Ashes, ashes, we all fall down. T for Bellatrix. Sorry for reposting this, FFN is being wonky. I don't mean to be annoyingly spamming you.

"I killed Sirius!"

The look on his face as I (avadadearcousinkedavra) reminded me of his sorting – GRYFFINDOR! – shocked, fierce, almost pleased. Well, his foul Gryffindor blood shan't taint me anymore! I wanted to burn, to watch the flames consuming his body – "Careful, Bella! You're gonna burn down the Manor!" shrieks a tiny, preHogwarts Siri in my shattered memories – but need is to burn to cleanse from bloody dirt.

"I killed Sirius!"

Seeing his werewolfhalfbloodlover holding Potter (screamcryhate) back by I bask in his rage – "youfuckingbitch" – now, now, Remy, watch your language in front of the little Potter baby! You're becoming a bad influence just like – and suddenly I remember –

"I killed Sirius!"

I laugh madly, sprinting across the huge room but crucio! and I fall, fall down (painpainpain) but I'm standing again and ("You have to mean it, Potter!") and he looks like a itty bitty puppy who just got his godfather fallen dead –

"I killed Sirius!"

A stupid, silly, mortal Muggle rhyme he used to sing – ring around the rosies, a pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down! – flashes in my mind and I giggle uncontrollably. At least the muggles got the ashes right – ("Bellatrix Black, do NOT set the house-elf on fire! They are so inconvenient to replace –") but Mother never felt the hot burning power in fire so –

"I killed Sirius!"

And ickle baby Potter lunges at me, ah now he's angry, angry enough to curse and (killkillkill) but finally my lord please whispers fighting (yesss) and emerald flash for Avad – but statues fountain is Dumbledore no!

So I escape into the (greenkillingcursegreen) flames and wait for

(mylord)

A/N: This is… new. For me. This sort of crazy, incoherent, stream-of-consciousness type writing. But I've been reading E. E. Cummings for school and, well, here's the dubious result. Reactions? Was it too weird? Good-weird or bad-weird? Not weird enough? Complete trash? Needs to be longer? (I agree with that last one, but I can't keep myself in the Bellatrix mindset for long…) Review please!
