kilig - (n.) the delightful feeling that sends shivers of pleasure down the spine as one encounters something romantic [Filipino]

"Bella."

She loved it when he called her that. As it was he only referred to a handful of Death Eaters by their first names, but who, other than her, had a pet name? It went beyond a show of honor; it was a sign of true affection.

Outsider of her family, the Dark Lord was the only one ever to call her that. Even after so many years of hearing Cissy use that nickname, Rodolphus had never picked up the habit.

But hearing her master whisper that name, hearing him carress it with his voice, with that meaningful look that he gave no other servant…

Bellatrix would do anything for that little reminder of just how much the Dark Lord favored her.
