Summery: Before The year 1999 There was no such person as Isabella Swan, Only Bellatrix Black - LeStrange. How did Bellatrix turn from a 44 year old Death eater to a 18 year old muggle? Is she even a muggle?

Preface:

Its all about the appearance. Nothing else matters, no one cares if your the oldest, the happiest, or even the sanest. All that matters is if you have the appearances to back up your power. I have felt heartache many times before, most recently from my one true love, Edward. I fear though he will leave me again, when he finds out the truth behind my lies. I am not who he believes and my past is as black as my family's name.

Truth is no one is ever ready for the big things in life, I sure wasn't. I was a young girl when my life went from rich and powerful, to controlled and punished. I was forced to marry young, by not only by my mother but my horrid aunt. I was controlled and used, Raped and broken. I was insane; that all changed with the death of the only family member that ever cared. I went for help, I was desperate, I wanted my life back.

My life was given back to me by the least likely of people. Harry was always understanding to people and with the help of oaths and veritiserum I was free, the only request. Get out of town, lay low, change my identity...my age. Magic is a wondrous thing and though I should be turning 57 in months to come, I am back in the prime of my life, 18 years old. As the saying goes though, all good things must come to a end, and obviously, Isabella Swan...is one of those things.

Chapter 1: Dark Stars

September 1st 1972::

"Good Luck Regulus!" I heard my younger sister say from behind me. I looked back to see Andromeda smiling at our youngest cousin from the carriages. Andromeda was the Middle of my sisters, she was in Seventh year and younger by four years. I was the oldest child, and Narcissa was beside me, she was five years younger and was a sixth year. I sighed, Narcissa was just as her name stated, a narcissists, but she was kind at heart, what little our family allowed us to possess. I nodded to the frightened first year, I was working at the school this year, filling in as the DADA Professor, oh how I dreaded it.

I caught a look at my cousin, Sirius Black...He had started the year before. I looked around and glared at my other cousin, Regulus, who was helping a girl up, not even bothering to ask for blood status. Regulus was a mama's boy, and like any other Black's, he had the black hair, aristocratic cheek bones and Blue eyes. Mine were Violet/Blue, it was what made me the most exotic of the blacks. Narcissa was complemented on her golden blond trestles and Andromeda was appreciated for her dark blue eyes, so bright and dark they resembled the night sky.

"Black, Regina Narcissa" I heard the old bag, McGonagal call out as I sat at the head table; Narcissa was transferring here from Beuxbatons...Narcissa went up with her head held high and I rolled my eyes before I looked around, I had not even noticed we had arrived. I looked at the tables, sneering as my gaze reached the Gryffindors. I snarled slightly at my younger cousin; Sirius was the first and only Gryffindor in the Black family. I had once asked my Aunt Walburga why she didn't just disown him. She had simply said it would cause to big of a scandal, I fully agreed. The blacks were a high ranking Pureblood family, Muggles would consider us Blue Blood.

"Ravenclaw!" I snapped my head up and clapped, Ravenclaw was the only other option for the Black family anything less was considered disgrace. I noticed Regulus was already at the Slytherin table and nodded slightly in happiness. Aunt Walburga would be terribly unhappy if her last son turned out to be a blood traitor and muggle lover. This brought back memories of my own sorting....

Flash Back : September 1st 1963:::

"Black, Azalea Bellatrix!" I heard her call my name and with grace and pride I strutted up to the hat, a glare on my stone like face. I would show no weakness to these mudbloods or Halfbloods, not even the other purebloods would see my emotions.

'Ahhh..the other black sheep.' I heard a voice say. If I had not been so well trained I would have jumped.

'Who are you?' I asked

'I'm the sorting hat of course.' Came the reply.

'Nice..now can you sort me before I decide to use you as scrap fabric.' I snarled, I didn't like being called a black sheep. Was this stupid lice hat calling me a blood traitor?

'Feisty..well lets see, loyal, hard working, cunning, viscous, protective...maybe I should put you in Gryffindor were the other black sheep will be?' The hat said I felt my eyes widen and I gritted my teeth. I had to be in slytherin. If I was not then I Would surely be disowned. My mother, Druella was not as forgiving as her sister. It was true Druella and Walburga were sisters, and Orion Black, my uncle was my father brother. It was odd to think about so I didn't.

'NO! I have to be in Slytheirn!' I screamed. The hat winced mentally and sighed.

'Fine...but head my warning well Little Lamb...Don't let your family control your life.'

"Slytherin!" I let out a sigh of relief and walked proudly to my table after removing the foul hat.

End Flash::

As I looked down at my arm I wished I had heeded the sorting Hats words.

July 3rd 1967::

I stared at my reflection in my pristine full length mirror. My shin length leather dress with thin straps holding the corset style dress up. I had on a pair of ankle length boots with thin high heels and a crescent moon pendent, and my leather pouch was attached to my left hip. I smiled slightly at my appearance, and brushed my midnight black hair down a bit, before grabbing my emerald green cloak and heading down the stairs of my home, Black Cottage, it wasn't really a cottage it was just a name.

The house was a old Gothic style and had about four floors and 30 if not more rooms. "Bellatrix!" I heard Narcissa yell as she saw me. She was dressed in a dark blue dress with a pair of black boots and a silver cloak. Andromeda was visiting Sirius and Regelus at aunt Walburga's, and was staying there until the next school year.

"Hey Cissy...Lets go." I said and she nodded but before we could my mother came into the room. Her blue eyes and brown hair falling down in waves, she looked a lot like Andromeda, only older and colder.

"Mother." Me and Narcissa said in unison. She narrowed her eyes at us before smiling slightly, it was a rare occasion when she smiled. "Bellatrix come with me, your aunt and I have news." She said and I looked at Cissa before following, a little worried. Had she found out I had been seeing Sirius, not in the romantic way of course, but he had tried to befriend me more and change my ways. I had to admit he had strong points but I couldn't let anyone know or I'd be disowned, and I LOVED my life. This was one reason I did not go to aunt Walburga's Sirius was always on my case.

We entered the study and inside stood my uncaring aunt, her long black hair, so like my own and blue eyes stared at me with approval. "Bellatrix we have some good news. We talked to the LeStranges, Adonia and Rudolphus Sr, Well their oldest son Rodolphus Lestrange has just returned from Durmstrang...they want your hand in marriage." Druella said and my eyes widened. I remembered Rodolphus' brother, Rebastian and they were similar and I knew they were horrid brothers.

Adriana Chang, From Ravenclaw has been raped by The brothers but when the Chang family went to the ministries they lost the case and it was determined that it was just Adriana acting out. I only knew because Rebastian liked to brag and had spread it around the Slytherins common as Queen Slytherin it was mandatory I know. Adriana Chang fell Pregnant last year and left for China, no one knows what happened after.

"No." I said without even thinking, that was the beginning of the end of my life.

July 20th 1968:

I stared at myself in my lush wedding dress, my eyes glazed slightly. I couldn't believe they where doing this, they were making me marry, and in the process The Dark lord had taken a liking to me. I closed my eyes and tried to pull my magic from its core. I had read once a strong witch or wizard could break the imperious course but I had never been under the curse before so this was new. It made me wonder if maybe Sirius liked to act out to avoid this..or if maybe that was why Cedrella had been disowned? Had she known that her relatives would go this far to insure the Black name?

"Bella? Bella?" Came a whispered voice and I looked to see my younger sister, Narcissa, Dromeda wasn't coming because Mother was scared she would try and help me, beside me Andromeda was the most powerful Black. "Naricssa, Help me." I whispered a tear leaking down my face before she could say anything my mother, Aunts and my fiancée came in.

"Mother! How could you! Bella didn't do anything..." She yelled before Aunt Walburga glared, and leveled her wand.

"Narcissa Regina Black don't talk to your mother like that! Now get out and go mingle with your fiancée!" She said coldly and with a pitying look Narcissa left tensing as she passed Rudolphus.

"Bellatrix I am disappointed in you." My mother said and she pursed her lips. I glared and through down my veil. "How dare you! I devoted my life to the traditions of this family, I through myself into the dark arts to appease you, I stopped all ties to my grandfather (He had tried to help me), I even played the roll of the perfect Slytherin and dark lord supporter. How do you repay me? Did you ever think that maybe I wanted a choice in who I married or that I liked Talking to grandpa and even Sirius.." My rant was cut short by a body barreling into me and hands around my throat. I looked up into dark brown almost black eyes.

"Never talk to anyone like that, and never think of talking to those muggle lovers. You belong to me now, Bella." He said and I whimpered and then it all went black as I was forced back into submission by the Imperious spell.

..........................

"We gather here today to bring together these two Purebloods in Merlin's Holy light and so they can carry on....

July 19th 1997:

I sighed as I sat in my cell and cried. I had killed the only person who cared, Sirius Black. I admit I used to have a crush on him when I was younger, I didn't want to admit it and I knew Sirius didn't share the same feelings. Inbreeding my have been acceptable in the pureblood society, but Sirius was as against it as he was his family, I also knew he only cared for me as a cousin and I learned to say the same. Even if he had cared that way I was eight years older then him.

I never meant to kill him, I only meant to stun him. How had it all gone wrong? Mother had died years ago from Age and Aunt Walburga before her. Uncle Orion had died in the first war, though everyone suspected he had tried to help Andromeda - Who had been disowned in early 1772 for marring a muggle born, over christmas break - and Sirius and that was when Aunt Walburga had killed him for it. Father had died in 1979, a death eater raid gone wrong. Now I was facing death from my master and husband...they had locked me up in the dungeons when I had defied them...unbeknownst to them I had taken a blocking potion before they had locked me up...no controling potions would work on me for three days. This meant I was running out of time, in less then 24 hours the imperious would be back as a workable spell, and I would be too weakened to with stand the hold.

"Please, God help me." I whispered and gripped my Emerald necklace.

"Muggle London!" I whispered and I was gone within three seconds, no sooner then I was did alarms sound.

..............................

Present Day:

I looked in the mirror with a sigh. I still looked the same as when I was a teenager...only my hair was a dark Rust brown colour that fell in thick waves, were as once upon a time there was a curl in my hair, which was coloured Black. My lovely eyes, which everyone said resembled dark Violet's were now a plan doe brown, I was against them but Potter had been insistent, saying Violet eyes were to uncommon. Not true, I know for a fact Rosalie had Violet eyes when she was human, which thinking back on it is a odd thing...we had assumed Violet eyes only occured in Wizards of Black Lineage.

My Body was less muscular and toned and scares I had accumulated in my 57 years were covered in spells, designed by Nymphadora Tonks and Andromeda Tonks, my Niece and Sister. I still remembered the day Lucius had struck Dromeda down from behind during the final battle. At the time I had been disguised as a Weasley, a distant cousin of Arthur Weasley. I had been nervous about this, a Rose could change its colours but not its thorns. It had turned out well, I had avenged Dromeda by killing Lucius and Narcissa had been happy that Draco had survived, she had never really loved Lucius, it had been a arranged marriage.

Ted had lived but had blamed me, and would not let me near him or Dora. I had been torn, but after years of living in hell it only made me angry. I had almost killed the muggle born on the spot, but Potter had reminded me of our deal, any more innocent deaths on my hands would result in Azkaban for life. Thinking of Potter, the brat had sent me a invite to his wedding in early 2001, he was marrying the red haired weasley female, Ginny. I had chuckled and wrote him back telling him how inviting the Dark Angel to a Wedding probably was not the best idea - Dark Angel had been my code name in the war - and that I was unfortunately going to have to pass...I did tell him how it reminded me of Lily and James...They even shared a striking resemblance, give GInny darker red hair, a taller physic, and Clear skin with Green eyes and she was Lily potter.

As far as I knew now he lived in the rebuilt Potter manor with four children...James and his twin Azalea Bellatrix...I had been honoured that Potter had named his first daughter after me, but also shocked. I knew part of him still blamed me for all the death and especially of Sirius'. Neville Longbottom had married to Luna Lovegood and had never made nice with me other then to glare and nod. I didn't blame him though, I had pretty much killed his parents.

I remembered Alice Longbottom from school, she became a first year when I was a seventh year. Frank was three years above her and they had Longbottom five years after Alice graduated. She remembered Alice Logan - Longbottom every time she heard Alice Cullen's name or looked at her...Alice Logan had been a short girl as well, 5'2 if she was lucky and long Black hair with Brown eyes, the same ones Neville had now. I imagine Alice and well Alice would have gotten along great.

Back to the Potter's. after the twins Ginny had Albus Severus, and then Lily Luna in 2006...just two years ago. I had pictures tucked away, Harry had even sent me pictures of Granger and Weasley's daughter and Son, Rose and Hugo. I envied them, I had always wanted children but I would never have any, I couldn't...Rudolpus had been sure too bitch about it...no matter how hard he tried I never got pregnant. I soon gave up hope of ever conceiving.

Narcissa was now Living with Draco and his wife, Astoria Greengrass...a respectable choice. They had a son, Scorpius...I just adored his name and he looked so much like his father and grandmother. I had went so far as to name him my heir to the Black fortune...of course It was split between Scorpius the main heir, James, Azalea, Albus and Lily...I owed Harry a lot, and I was going to repay him no matter what. I peeled myself away from my best friend, the mirror, and grabed my toiletries and headed for a shower...I was going to be late for school at this rate and though I had nine years of being Isabella Swan under my belt, so to say...sometimes I almost introduced myself as Bellatrix...It was a good thing I still went by Bella.

I showered easily and got out, dried myself off and put on my under-were, all black lace, and pulled on a long sleeve Black shirt with the words Muse in Green. I had found that muggles had amazing entertainment and their music rocked, I was obsessed with Muse. I put on a pair of faded blue jeans with rips at the knees and a pair of black rain boots, no doubt it was raining. I put my hair into a half ponytail and almost found myself putting my Slytherin hair pin in..it was like a broach for your hair. I sighed and put it away and grabbed my hoddie, a violet coloured one, and exited my room. I tripped on my way to the kitchen and I cursed...This day was not going to get better, it could only get worse. After Edward had left me Six months ago, I had been zombie like, willowing in my past guilt. When I had went cliff diving part of me hoped I would die, though I knew even if I did, I was going to hell.

As I pulled out of my drive way I thought of how me and Alice had went to Italy to save him from himself. I had almost cursed him into oblivion but the fact that this would have ruined my future and my past was too much for me to handle and I just settled for yelling 'Freeze'. It worked and we were safely on a plane away from Europe within the day. I was just lucky Aro did not recognise me. The dark lord had asked for the Vampires loyalties and in the end they came to a agreement, the death eaters would not attack a vampire as long as Vampires did not attack them. I had been part of his guard on the trip to sign the treaty.

"Bella, Hey!" Came a happy and kind voice. I knew it was not one of the Cullen's, they where out hunting today...they wouldn't be at school until Lunch. I turned and smiled at the black haired girl , Angela Webber, she reminded me of Dromeda to a extent and I didn't like to admit how much I missed my little sister, even if she had soiled the black name.

"Hi, Ang." I said nicely, but with a bit of a board tone. Years ago I would have sneared at the girl and probably cursed her, but I had a new respect for Muggles these days, after living like one for nine years, it happens.

"We have a new teacher." She said and I looked at her shocked.

"Really?" I asked almost slipping back into my accent with my nervousness...I did not like change.

"Yep! Mr. Lupus or something." Angela said and I felt my stomach drop.

"Lupin." I almost hissed out with annoyance, Angela looked at me and nodded slightly startled.

"Yeah, that's it. By the way some new students are also here, Mr. Lupins Son and his friends Daughters." She said and I blinked. How..Teddy wasn't old enough for high school...he should only be 11; Getting ready to go to hogwarts, or already there. As we walked to my first period I gasped at the three new students. They looked so familiar...Teddy was definitely one, but he looked almost 18 and the other two were girls with strawberry blond hair. They looked at me and after blinking gave me knowing smiles. They knew who I really was, it was the only explanation.

"Settle down class, I am your new History Prof...Teacher, Remus Lupin, the three students are my son, Teddy, and my friends daughters, Victorie and Lucy Weasley." He said and I looked up into his eyes, and gave him a smirk that I know he knew all too well as his eyes widdened. Remus had aged well, he looked good for 48 year old, then agian Wizards aged slower then humans and Werewolves aged even slower, in a since.

'I wounder why they are here? How are Lupin Jr, and those two Weasley's so much older then they should be?' I thought as I rested my chin on my left palm.
