For the A Letter From My Hogwarts Days challenge on HPFC

I don't own anything

My character was Bellatrix Black… and that was hard! XD

21st June 1969

I am about to leave this hellhole of a school where, for nearly seven years, I have been forced to endure being under the influence of the Muggle loving Albus Dumbledore.

Eighteen years old, I currently am, and in ten years time, I can only hope that my aspirations for the future can have come true… I can only hope. People have told me that I am simply being a rebellious child and that I shall not desire the same things in the future, but I know I will. The same feelings are felt throughout a great number of us Slytherins and it is not just me.

I have so many questions for the future, ones that I can only hope are answered then but I am writing to myself to ensure that I do not forget.

Is Dumbledore dead? Has the system which allows Mudbloods into our world been modified so only those of us who are supposed to be in our world are? Have I managed to get rid of so many of the disgusting Mudbloods in this school and cleansed the world?

I have heard about, through both my family and the secret avenue of information making its way into the school, a man named Lord Voldemort who shares the dreams of us Slytherins. If the stories of him are true, he has began to take the thoughts we have onto the next step and has begun to make strides to take the wizarding world for ourselves. I desire to know of my future self reading this letter if he has succeeded in taking the world.

I can only hope he has.

I have learnt every pointless piece of knowledge I can have prised from this Godforsaken school and am ready to expand my knowledge to more useful realms for my future. I want to learn the Dark Arts, to know not only how to fight them – which is the pointless knowledge I have learnt from this school – and to be able to get rid of the scum that ought not to be around. I want to be able to kill…

Have I killed Muggles in the future? Have I managed to slay the pitiful creatures who ought to be inferior to us, rather than believing we are equals? I can only hope that I have and that we are stronger than current, with Slytherin as the only house for people to be sorted into. After all, we are the best and we are the only ones with true values…

I don't mean to go on to my future self as to why I believe the way I do, because that is silly – I will be the same at 28 as I am today, at 18: desiring change and being one of the forerunners.

I have no qualms for the future… I know where I shall end up and that is by the side of whoever changes things in this world. I doubt that I shall be the leader, yet I know I can be a great aid… and that is all that matters.

Lord Voldemort, from what my family have told me, will be the one to change things. He is a Pureblood and believes in reinstating this within the wizarding world, opposing Dumbledore with any means possible. This is more important than school work: in these final weeks, I am going to endeavour to find everything out about Lord Voldemort, if he ever attended this school, and gather enough of us to work with him to get this world under our control.

I doubt I shall ever marry; this is not what I want to do in life – marriage and children has never concerned me. Yet if I am married, I know something either has gone wrong or it gave me an advantage in the world of Dark Magic.

Good luck, my future self

Bellatrix Black.

I would write about when she received the letter and such, but I really, really don't have a clue what to write there!
