"What do you mean Internal Magic, and where did you learn this? You didn't tell anybody did you?" Cissa asked as the three sister's sat alone in the darkened common room.
"Nobody knows and I stumbled across it in a book." Bella snapped. The answer must have pleased Cissa cause she stopped asking.
"Ok Internal magic usually is one type of magic that lives inside of a person and they can use it without a wand." Bella explained.
"What do you mean one type of magic?" Andy asked "And how come you don't have any?"
"Because I don't, anyway, like an element, like how you only can use water and move it at will and how Cissy has ice. It's one thing and you can move or conjure it when you want without your wand cause it lives in you. It's really rare."
"Can it hurt us?" Cissa asked
"No it's part of you."
Bella yawned it was late.
"I'm going to bed, goodnight."
They said their goodnights and Bella left the common room. As Andy and Cissa gathered their things and headed up the stair's Andy stopped which made Cissa stop.
"What?"
"I STILL don't get it." Andy said and Cissa laughed.
Bella sat up, her sister's had long gone to sleep but even though she was tired when she went to bed now she felt wide awake and couldn't sleep. Her mind was spinning with everything that had happened in the past months.
Bernice's death was the main one. She was just a girl, a simple muggle born that she, Bellatrix Black, had taken down, defeated. She knew she should feel bad and that she shouldn't have done it but yet she was threatening her and her sister's.
Bellatrix winced as the image of Bernice's charred body and the smell came back. Had she deserved it, had Bernice deserved to die at the age of 15, no. But Bellatrix knew what's done is done and in a way she thought that she rather saved Bernice, saved her from all the torture of the real world, saved her from men, saved her from men like her father.
Rodolphus wasn't going to tell because she did right by saving Bernice, he had killed before and wasn't afraid. She smiled at the thought, she had saved a girl from possibly a horrible life of death, destruction, and torture. She had saved her from living a life like hers. Now she was able to sleep, it made sense to her, she had solved the puzzle of why she did what she had done.
I feel so bad for all these short chapters. I promise to try and make the next ones longer, this was just to clear things up a little even if Andy doesn't understand. And please remember they're only 12 so Bella's thoughts of Bernice are of a 12 year old trying to make sense of everything in what she thinks is the mature and right way. PLEASE R&R Thank you.
