(Wasteful)
There are rumors that she poisoned her husband. In truth, she didn't. He was frail and sickly before they married, and his death a scant few years after their marriage should not have come as surprise to anyone who knew him. The gossips probably think they're so bloody clever for nicknaming her the Black Widow (because, when applied to her, it's also a pun!)
Since no children were borne of their union, her husband's brother inherited everything upon his death. So now here she is, a widow with not even a single Knut to her name and little chance to remarry, playing nanny to her brother's two daughters while Cygnus and Druella continue to attempt to conceive an heir.
The younger child isn't a problem, but the three-year-old is a hellion who gets into everything and has temper tantrums accompanied by outbursts of accidental magic with alarming regularity.
Walburga has taken to bribing the older child into behaving by giving her candy. (Luckily for her aunt, the little girl also has a love of keeping secrets from her parents. Walburga doubts they would approve of her tactics if they knew.)
Today's treat is Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. After getting a few bad flavors, Bellatrix has given up on trying to eat them and is now pelting a terrified house elf with them.
Oh, well... whatever keeps the brat amused for a few minutes.
