So Bellatrix keeps attempting to flirt with me.
And when I say flirt, I mean she leans forward suggestively in my direction while quickly tilting her head from side to side and baring her teeth in what she must imagine is a pleasing, attractive smile.
She looks like a palsied vulture.
It's quite distracting, and not in a good way.
There may have been a time in the bloom of her youth when that tactic was effective, but darling, that ship not only sailed long ago, it sank like the bloody Titanic, taking all hands down with it.
The issue is further complicated by the fact that if I punish her for such an unseemly display of over familiarity, she will completely misconstrue my actions as signifying some sort of reciprocity of feeling.
She is irritatingly oblivious to my attempts at ignoring her.
If this continues much longer I'm afraid drastic measures may be called for.
Unfortunately the insane harpy clearly gets off on being crucio'd, so I have no intention of giving her that particular satisfaction.
Oh, I see what I did there.
