Chapter 3
I knew I didn't want to be involved with Tom in anyway. I can have anyone I desire. I don't need a love potion to lure a man. I am beautiful. A most powerful witch indeed, I thirst for something great. To be tied to a man is not my goal in life. This is rubbish. Why can't Narcissa be left with this task? Andromeda….that slut. She chose to open her legs to a mudblood. For such treason, my once beloved sister was burned out of our family tree, and no longer my sister. She says she is in love. Love, passion, love passion, is all the same to me. I rather see a man covered in boils begging me to help him.
Another shriek made me jump out of my thoughts. I had almost forgotten that Tom was waiting for me downstairs. I looked at out the window. The day was a light gray, cloudy, with a thin cold breeze that barely swayed the black roses growing outside my window. Too bad I couldn't just fly out my room. Mother made sure I couldn't magic my way out of this "date".
I felt angry that I had to go downstairs. Nothing really good was always happening down stairs. Narcissa used to be my parents favorite. Ever since she started growing into her abilities, I was ignored, and I hated that. Now all eyes were on me. Yes, although I loathed the man I saw with a bewitched bouquet of red roses that had little dark purple fairies flying around them. I wanted to seem breath taking.
Annoyingly, he smiled vaguely, no hint of that spark I saw the other day. He was way better dressed since the first meeting. A long emerald velvet dress robe covered this impostor of a wizard. Mother was in awe. If she had the chance of dating him, she wouldn't hesitate.
"Miss Bellatrix, I told you I would see you again" said Tom in a soft whisper as he carefully reached to touch my hand and kiss it.
"Yes you did and now what makes you think I will fall for you?" I yanked the roses out of his weak grasp and threw them on the floor. The fairies whimpered in pain. The bouquet wilted rapidly.
"Bellatrix! You shall be gracious to your guest, please?" Mother giggled and then glared at me as she picked up the bouquet.
"Mother I'm so sorry. Tom I deeply apologize…I'm just so nervous and this is taking a rather fast path. I don't want to make the same mistake my beloved sister Andromeda did please I hope you understand." Mother turned red in rage. Fortunately, I hid her wand in her room.
