Okay so Bellatrix was the highest vote from the previous selection, and I'm really happy with how this one has come out.
Hey readers it's Hermione Granger once again reporting for Hermione Speaks Out. The holidays have finally arrived and I'm spending them here at the Weasley's. My parents have gone to Austria for a skiing holiday so Mrs Weasley invited me over for the holidays. So far it's been pretty hectic and the excitement for Christmas tomorrow has kept me awake. Ginny is fast asleep in the bed across the room so I thought I'd do another chapter.
This chapter happens to be a shocker for me, I came upon this one recently and I was awfully surprised that you even thought of this. This person's hair is wild and black and it looks as though it hasn't been brushed in 15 years, in fact it probably hasn't as they have only got just gotten out of Azkaban after escaping last year. This individual is very skinny and etched upon her left arm is the Dark Mark famous for identifying Deatheaters. Have you guessed who it is yet? Well if you haven't you have obviously been living under a rock for the last year. Today's topic is the cruel and very scary Bellatrix Lestrange.
I guess we should really start with the positives of being paired up with Bellatrix Lestrange.
We both have the same hair, I do wonder if her hair is as unmanageable as mine is. Hers is raven black and mine is chocolate brown. I guess I can't really say Bellatrix's hair has always been frizzy because she had spent so long in Azkaban that one's hair would fall out, become matted and stray from its normal style, mine on the other hand has never done what I wanted it to do until I disappeared into the library and researched hair spells now I've managed to tame it so it's wavy with as little frizz as possible.
If I stretch the positives as far as I can and look out of the bigger picture Bellatrix and I have a slight similarity in personality. I've been known to explode in anger very quickly, I do lack patience in many occasions and I don't always think things through if I'm suffering from wrath. I am known to what Bellatrix is capable of and I think her wrath and her slightly dysfunctional mind has caused her to act first think later, whether she thinks about her actions I do not know. So if I was as psycho as her and slightly insane and didn't care about hurting others or the consequences oh and didn't have a conscience, I think we'd work very well.
I do hope you can sense the sarcasm you can see the positives I have thought of are very pitiful and also very sarcastic. Really what I'm saying is there are no positives to being paired up with that woman. Negatives on the other hand are in abundance.
She is a deatheater for starters. The woman has tortured, cursed and even killed hundreds of innocent people with varying blood statuses. As a deatheater her main purpose is to eradicate all Muggles or Muggleborns from this planet and I don't know if you have noticed this but I'm a Muggleborn so I think she'd kill me before look at me twice. Bellatrix Lestrange is not only a deatheater but the most loyal deatheater of them all, her love for Lord Voldermort comes first to everything the mad woman spent 15 years in prison for him what lot of good that did I don't know but she did and because of this she is one of the most wanted criminal out there. She will kill for him and she will also die for him. This does make me question how many crucios she's had to the head.
Speaking of Crucio it brings me on to my second negative for the pairing. Frank and Alice Longbottom where tortured to insanity by this horrific woman her husband, her brother in law and a fellow deatheater. I never knew Frank and Alice but I have learnt the things they had achieved with their fight against the dark but when they lost their sanity another lost them. Neville is my friend and to think you could pair me up with a woman who took away his parents, took away his childhood, took away his life sickens me to the stomach. I could never hurt or betray Neville in this way, how would I look him in the eyes?
The pain is still fresh and still very raw and whenever I look down to my left arm and I flash back to a day I'll never forget but hope never to relive. Bellatrix Lestrange tortured me, carved the word Mudblood in to my arm scarring me as this hideous being for the rest of my life. I've never hated a person more than I've hated her. How you could put me in to a pairing with her when you know what I have been through. It's heart-breaking and it makes me question what I ever did to you to hurt me so.
Another heart-breaking tale is the people she has killed that were so close to me; Remus, Sirius and Tonks. I watched them die, I'll never forget when she appeared on that rock in the Ministry of Magic and screamed that name and the lifeless body of Sirius Black floated into the veil never to be seen again. And then to look to my left to see a flash of green and watch the motionless body of Remus Lupin fall as Tonks screams his name rushing to his body to only to face the same fate as her husband. Their son will never remember their faces or grow up with a mother and a father because of her!
The final one I can be bothered to mention is the woman's insanity. She's absolutely crazy the Muggle saying she's a screw loose fits her perfectly. Her cackle is terrifying the sick pleasure she gets from hearing people scream in pain is unimaginable. She loves the feeling of pain and loves to inflict it. But in a way after all of this I pity her because the man she loves never repaid those feelings. Voldermort couldn't love and I think deep down she knew this so she used the Cruciatus curse on her victims to help rid her of the pain but the curse damaged her brain so she no longer cared for those around her.
All I can say is thank god she never reproduced.
There are a couple of story styles I've seen and are hurt by. The first one I'm going to introduce to you tonight is of the night I tried so hard to forget. You love reminding me of the night that Bellatrix tortured me in Malfoy Manor. You like to place the story in either mine or her point of view. You like to focus on the blood that dripped down my arm as she carved the letters in to my arm one by one watching as I screamed and cried underneath her. How could someone be so cruel to do this to a person? Do you not see the struggles I face, the shame I feel when I realise how weak I was to cry in front of her to let her see she had won. I still get nightmares from that day you know and your stories don't help. So I'm begging you do not write stories about that day don't you torture me as well I don't know if I'm strong enough to live with more than one constant reminder.
A second style which I dislike but no were near as much as the previous one is where you like to place Bellatrix and I in a romantic lust filled relationship, this usually involves a BDSM sort of style where I'm being tortured and pleasured at the same time, begging her to stop and her refusing and then at the end I curl up beside her as she calls me her precious little Mudblood. Well hold on a second are you out of your mind? I'm not a fan of pain to start with and to think you place me as a weak individual who enjoys that sort of sick behaviour is unacceptable and then you go and rub the entire thing into my face and allow her to call me her precious little Mudblood like I'm some kind of dog. You people need to sort your heads out; I will not be treated like I am an animal by anybody. Is that understood?
The final style I've seen is where I am Bellatrix Lestranges daughter who has been hidden away by her own mother or has been placed in adoption when Bellatrix was sent to Azkaban and now it's been unveiled that I am her daughter and I turn away from Harry to work alongside my mother and father with their glorious plan of eradicating all the Mudbloods in the world to eventually become the darkest witch and replace Voldermort. Yeah I hate to break it to you all but I'm defiantly a Granger. I've seen my birth certificate proving so. I do see where you get the idea from because of the hair similarities but I'll never betray Harry to fight with a man who's cause has been trying to kill me. And I'd never want to be a Lestrange, I couldn't even imagine been related to the woman. I guess if you have to write one style of fic out of all the three I've chosen it would have to be this one but I don't really like it. So I'm asking you nicely please don't pair me with Bellatrix.
I do get the impression that all you who are writing these stories are actually Bellatrix Lestrange fans and not really mine but I can tell you this if she was to come across these stories and discover me and her having passionate tortured sex she'd be disgusted and would probably try to kill you so for my sake and yours don't write a Hermione and Bellatrix story. If you do like Bellatrix that much that you have to write about her here are a few suggestions.
Bellatrix and Lord Voldermort, here you can use the twisted tortured sex you so desperately like to write, I'm sure Bellatrix wouldn't care as long as he was pleasuring her. Hell you could have her pleasure him whatever you want but I won't be reading into those.
If you want to do a family one then you've got the choices of Rodolphus, Lucius, Narcissa and Draco to choose from, here you can have a sickly sweet sex with Rodolphus that is a little kinky, a sisterly bond with Narcissa, a hated but passionate sex scene with Lucius and a learning experience shared between Aunty Bella and Draco.
If you do want something a little different I've heard Snape and Bellatrix would make a good fanfic couple. Both cold have a lot of hate and also dislike one another you could do allsorts with those two with your twisted passions.
Right I'm going to try and get some sleep now, do enjoy your Christmas everyone and I'll probably see you all after that but don't forget no Hermione and Bellatrix is that understood? Yes, good. Good night guys sweet dreams.
Haha i'm not the biggest of fans of this pairing but I don't really mind them. If a plot line fascinates me then I shall read it.
