Dark Fic
A/N- I know Sirius Black is younger than Bellatrix, but I needed him to be older for this fanfic, so I made him older. And I also know Regulus is not her age, but again, for this story to flow, I needed him to be. Okay, and, depending on the site, Bella's sisters are sometimes older, sometimes younger, but in this case, I just made them both younger, because that's what their wiki's said.
"Daddy, no, NO, please stop, please." Bellatrix begged, and while crying out in pain.
Her dad, Cygnus, had been whipping her for 10 minutes straight, because Bellatrix had gone to Hogsmede with her parents and sisters, and befriended a blood-traitor. She hadn't known he was a blood-traitor. He was very nice, unlike what her parents had told her how they acted. His name was Arthur, Arthur Weasley, and he had been showing her a book he had just gotten for school. He was a year older than her, and was going into his 1st year in Hogwarts. Bellatrix herself still had to wait a year. But as soon as her father and mother saw her talking to him, her mother cried out, and her father grabbed her away, and they Apparated straight home. Now, they were in their kitchen, and her father was whipping her.
Her 2 little sisters were watching; Narcissa and Andromeda. They were crying, but only Bellatrix could see them, because they were hiding by the doorway. After another 5 minutes of whipping, there was a knock on the door. Bellatrix's mom, who had been watching, and scolding her as her father whipped her, went to answer the door. Bellatrix could hear her mother's voice:
"Why, hello, Orion, Walburga, please do come on. Bellatrix and Cygnus are in the kitchen… but Bellatrix is being scolded for associated with a Blood-Traitor. And you'll never guess which one? Arthur Weasley." Bellatrix's mom, Druella, spat the words, and said Arthur's name as if it was a bad word.
"My other darlings are… well, I'm not exactly sure where they are. I see you brought your dear boy Regulus. And- and, Sirius… Sirius, won't you be going into your 3rd year-" She was cut off by Bellatrix, who let out an awful, bloody-curtailing scream. Sirius jumped up, and ran into the kitchen. He saw Bellatrix being whipped, and all the dark, red, bloody marks on her back. He shot Cygnus a dirty look, and Cygnus only smiled back, and continued to whip her. Sirius ran in front of Bellatrix's back, and punched Cygnus in the face. Bellatrix's eyes were completely swollen and red. After Cygnus fell to the ground, astounded that Sirius hit him, Sirius took Bellatrix in his arms.
"It's alright, little cousin, it's alright, Bella. You are going to be okay. It's alright. Shh. Shh." Sirius held her close to him, and had her in a tight hug, even though all the blood from Bellatrix's back was dripping onto his arms. Bellatrix was still sobbing hysterically, unable to stop. She felt unloved, unwanted, and was heartbroken. The place on her back where she had been whipped was scarred, bloody, and gashed. Bellatrix hadn't planned on stifling her sobs anytime soon.
Sirius had always looked after Bellatrix. He treated her as his own little sister, because they had always connected so. Sirius commonly told Bellatrix that muggle-borns, and blood-traitors weren't bad, but than she just went off, and retaliated with something her parents made her learn and recite about how awful, dirty, and evil "Mudbloods" and blood-traitors are.
"How long was he hurting you, Bella?" Sirius asked in a warm and soothing voice.
"I-I don't know. A long time." Bella answered in a small, hurt, voice. Sirius gritted his teeth, and clenched his jaw.
"Shh, it's okay, Bella. When you are with me, I'll never let him hurt you." Bellatrix's grip tightened around Sirius's neck, and she buried her red-eyed and teary face into his shirt.
