[Authors Note: Although I don't own the characters (Which is a shame, because if I had Helena Bonham Carter at my disposal I'd have no end of fun) I'd like to say that the actual story line has been conceived and written by Me, Myself and I... And by Me, Myself and I, I mean Me and Georgia Haha... I hope you enjoy this tale of Gin, bad moral decisions and Femslash... I shall update as soon as my health and social teacher decides to go fuck herself ...Lou x]
Chapter 1: 'The end of the begining'
"Bellatrix..." The cold, high voice of the dark lord himself reverberated off of the cave walls, sending a shiver down the spine of his most loyal servant. Not daring to enrage him with silence she swallowed hard and gathered her courage. "Y-yes, my lord..?" Her dark brown eyes glanced into darkness; at a pair of Red orbs that seemed to be floating in mid air, they were staring down at her. Voldemorts' eyes. Terrible and full of hate, looking right into her soul... She heard him snigger, heard him inhale, like he was about to speak. Then finally his voice rang in her ears again, he spoke words that, no doubt were intended to rattle her very bones and to delve into her soul.
"You understand the importance of the task I have given you...?" Her eyes widened in fear, her lips parting slightly to let out a deep shuddering breath to calm herself. "O-of course... I will...will not fail you..." She said, her voice wavering with emotion. He only grunted as a reply, to which she bowed as low as she could physically manage. Bellatrix listened to the silence; just waiting for something to happen, She was about to speak again when the 'chink' of a glass touching something solid made its way to her ears and there she saw it. The goblet of Helga Hufflepuff. She knew what she was expected to do with it, so she took it and hid it away in her bag. There was a short, tense pause before he spoke again.
"Then I wish you luck, Bellatrix... Do not disappoint me..." She stood, once again to her full height, took one last look at the man she had sacrificed everything for, her whole life- Her sanity...and...'Pop'. She was gone. Gone from her world, her time- Just gone. When the world once again began to appear around her Bellatrix knew she was where she was supposed to be... Plastered on a crumbling brick wall in the middle of a bustling market place was 'Today's' date, on a notice announcing the opening of some new coffee shop. '20th, November 1888'. A wide smirk began to spread across her face."Right... Now... Where am I...?" She began to weave through the crowd, trying to find somebody who looked as though they might have at least half a brain-cell. She eventually settled for an elderly lady who was toiling away selling her apples.
She quickly cleared her throat before approaching the woman. "Excuse me." She said, in her most demanding voice. The lady looked up at her prospective customer and pointed at herself as if to ask 'Are you talking to me...?' Bellatrix rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips, adding in a much angrier tone of voice. "Yes, You! Muggle Woman! Where in this filth hole is fleet street...?" The woman blinked in confusion, plainly unknowing of the difference between herself and the frizzy-haired lunatic who stood before her.
"Wattid' you jus' call me?" she said, furrowing her brow. Getting only an irritated tut and a furious look from the girl, she answered the question. "Jus' down tha street be'ind yah now, firs' turn on tha lef'..." Now knowing the correct street, Bellatrix's expression softened slightly. All that was left was to discretely enquire as to the whereabouts of a certain pie shop. "And is there any kind of food shop around there...? Maybe even a Pie emporium...?..." The woman sighed, wishing that 'This bloody nuttah' would move out of her way so she could sell some apples. "Third buildin' down on Fleet Street. There's a little pie shop, Cheap 'us muck it is. Then again, wi'h tha price 'ah meat these days, wha's in'em pro'lley is muck-" Without another word Bellatrix strode away in the direction the old lady had told her to go, letting out a low chuckle as she walked. "Bingo."
