No one can say that Bellatrix doesn't like what she does. She believes in her Lord's vision wholeheartedly and will do anything she can to make that dream a reality, but that doesn't mean she can't have a little fun on the job.
She smiles as she waves her wand about like a conductor directing the lovely instrument of the human voice. Two Muggles lie in a pool of their own blood, their hands bound but their mouths free to sing to her heart's content.
She begins to grow bored with the male's screams, his throat raw as the waves of pain travel over his body. They seem to be lacking something deeper.
She switches to his wife and her screams are higher-pitched, close to breaking glass but to Bellatrix, it's music to her ears. Simply delightful.
However, when Bella returns to the male, he is unresponsive and has passed out from the pain, possibly thinks he has escaped her wrath.
A jet of water spurts from the end of her wand, dousing the two Muggles until the male finally awakes, sputtering and coughing out the liquid that slipped down his open mouth.
"Now, now, the performance isn't over yet," Bellatrix said as she sent another wave of pain through the now alert male.
