August 4th 1963

Bellatrix first year at Hogwarts had ended she had passed her first year exams with ease and had been back at home for the summer holiday for a few weeks.

Back home to parents who spent more time glaring at each other more than they spoke actual words to one another.

Bellatrix had been spending more and more time in the black library under pretence of studying for her second year, but in fact she had been reading much more darker books than her parents would allow her at that age.

It often amazed Bellatrix that her neither her mother or father checked up on what she was doing, but she wasn't going to complain that they didn't.

The time she didn't spend in the library was spent answering both Narcissa and Andromeda millions of questions about Hogwarts. Maybe it was long weeks away from home surround by ninety five percent people she wanted to curse into the next week, but couldn't. Had given Bellatrix a little more patience to deal with her sisters questions.

Bellatrix wanted to write to Tom, but didn't know what to say she was on holiday and was not able to spy on Dumbledore so she couldn't use that as a pretence to write to him and Bellatrix felt embarrassed to write to him about anything else.

Bellatrix hated the feeling of embarrassment she felt at the thought or mention of Tom, but couldn't help the way her brain worked.

So when her father mentioned that he was going to see Tom the next day at breakfast that morning Bellatrix knew she had to get her father to take her with him.

'Daddy you know how you said that I could have a reward for doing so well in my first year exams?' Bellatrix asked using the tone voice she knew her father would melt at.

'Yes I remember…what would like a new dress or jewelry?' Cygnus asked sighing wondering how much money his former promise was going to him.

'No daddy I was wondering if I could go with you to see Tom tomorrow' Bellatrix said using her best puppy dog eyes on her father.

'No you can't' Druella snapped at her oldest child.

'Of course she can Druella' Cygnus said causing Bellatrix to smirk at her mother.

'You're only letting her go because I said she couldn't' Druella snarled at her husband.

'The whole world doesn't revolve around you' Cygnus said rolling his at his wife.

While Druella and Cygnus Black argued neither noticed their daughter slip away to her bedroom to search for the appropriate outfit for the next day knowing her mother's disapproval would make her father allow her to go.
