A/N: Love to reviewers and Countess Black
Dedicated to Lady Ffion with thanks.
If there's anyone readers would like to see, please let me know :)
Five Things Bellatrix Lestrange Accepts as Axiomatic:
1) That literally everything the children do, including sleeping and blinking, is designed to make her as worried as possible. Particularly Hermione.
2) That Narcissa would be a far happier person if she'd just let Bellatrix do it. Whatever 'it' happens to be at the moment is totally irrelevant.
3) That Sirius is too smart to ever have actually run about with Potter, the little shy one and that weird Pettigrew boy as an adult except for the Dark Lord's purposes. He's oddly resistant to discussing it, so she does think that probably there was some fondness there despite himself. She doesn't ask.
4) That Hermione's little mudblood actually isn't. Just as some people are Metamorphomagi or something like that, it's possible for some people to be born with characteristics of one class whilst actually be of another. Clearly, the Latvian was born naturally a Pureblood.
5)That if she could have talked to Andromeda for an hour after she left with that mudblood Tonks, she could have brought her back round. Even now, she thinks Meddie could probably be salvaged.
