Bellatrix Lestrange wasn't just another Death Eater, Luna thought dreamily. Like most of the monsters Bellatrix would cast an unforgivable without second thought, her particular favourite was the cruciatus curse; but Bellatrix wasn't like the others, she was brighter, her eyes twinkled manically at Luna whenever she saw them, it was enchanting, dangerous, cruel and completely insane.

The clatter of the Malfoy's dungeon door opening quickly bought Luna back to earth as she gazed at the creatures in front of her. Narcissa Malfoy, was in Luna's eyes, was merely an unfortunate case of a wrackspurt infestation. To her left was Draco, Luna remembered him from Harry's year in Hogwarts. He was nothing more than a scared little boy. They were insignificant, people playiing the war because they cared about their family, and a particular family member cared about power. No matter how hard they tried they'd never be a starry-eyed firework, they'd never be brightbright.

In the middle of the two, stood the one thing besides Luna's nearly fluorescent hair that shone in the room, Bellatrix's skin glowed and her eyes sparkled, everything about her was different. She was thoroughly evil no doubt, everyone besides Luna hide when she entered. They were afraid of the wicked witch. Luna wasn't. To be afraid of someone they should be scary, dangerous. Bellatrix was far too insane to be dangerous.

Luna smiled, she was no Gryffindor, but she was brave. The physcotically mischievous with witch stalked towards her. Neither blinked nor broke eye contact until Bellatrix pounced and grabbed at her neck, wand poking into her throat.

"Why aren't you afraid of me Blondie?"

"Because you aren't dangerous"

Malicious laughter followed, no doubt making the older witches curls shake.

"If only you were sane," Luna continued

Bellatrix squealed and pulled Luna's arm to her throat

'Looney Luna Lovegood' she scratched into her arm with her viscous teeth

"Sanity! Looney Lovegood wishes I had sanity!"

"If only you were sane, you might actually be dangerous"

Luna felt the wand drop and sharp hard nails scrawl down her back. There was a quick rush and she hit the damp stone floor. Her head throbbed and the blood stained her hair.

"Not dangerous, huh Blondie?"

It took all her effort to roll over and face the wild witch.

"I'm not afraid Bellatrix, because you can't kill me"

"What makes you think I can't kill you? AVADA KEDAVRA!"

Luna heard the scurrying of little rats feet stop.

"That was just a rat, Bellatrix you can't kill me because Tom Riddle wants me alive!"

"His name is not Tom Riddle! His name is LORD VOLDEMORT, and to you he is You-Know-Who!"

"Fear of the name increases fear of the thing itself"

And with a huff Bellatrix stormed out, taking those she left waiting at the door with her.
