A/N: Thank you again Amelia. When I said 'scared yet brave' I meant that the hat was afraid of her, but it went on and screamed the house she was in. Sorry for the confusion, I suppose I can be a bit clearer in the future. I am really hoping for the reviews to pick up. Well, I didn't update sooner because my disk was stolen from the computer lab by who knows? But I did manage to retain quite a bit from it. It may be a bit different, so without further ado...


"What had you so happy this morning Bellatrix? And don't tell me you were looking at Lucius Malfoy again. Andromeda and I had to pry you away from annoying Lucius this morning." Said Annabelle while sorting through her school stuff looking for what she would need for their first period class Transfiguration.

Bellatrix was then reminded about earlier that morning when she sat in the common room staring intently at Lucius Malfoy. "No... Although I cannot come to terms with my sister Andromeda getting to marry him. I mean, when he's a fifth year, she's only a second year. I'm closer in age. Twelve and eleven?"

Annabelle shook her head. "Bella, twelve is closer in to fifteen. And who knows? Maybe she'll become a blood-traitor and you'll get him. Of course, you'd have to be some kind of lunatic killer for him to not want you."

"Well I also had this horrible dream. I was in a prison and the prisoners bowed down to me. They bowed low, like they were being forced. And then this guy at the end of the corridor made me kiss his glove. Oh yeah, these creatures made my arms bend at weird angles and stuff. It was so humorous. Horrible, but humorous."

Annabelle made a face of pure, untainted horror. She opened her mouth as to say something of great importance but Sibyll Trelawny, a small, tiny, girl with a long brown braid down to her mid-back beat her to the catch. She said with a harsh, deep voice that no twelve year old should ever have:

The one who will be most loyal to the Dark Lord shall acquaint him thrice. She shall deny him and his ways. Heartbreak will drive her into his arms. Azure will be swallowed by emerald as the big trample the small. The most loyal supporter of the Dark Lord is Black.

Bellatrix and Annabelle looked at each other. They exchanged dark glances.

Bellatrix's Train of Thought:

OH NO! This is horrid! I am a Black and Andromeda's a goody-goody! I don't want to do horrible things. I do not want to be evil! Oh no, oh no! I wonder if Annabelle knows it's me that Sibyll was talking about. Wait... How did such a sweet-voiced, tiny-lunged little girl make such an evil voice?! HOW, I ASK YOU, HOW?!

Annabelle's Train of Thought:

No! No! Why does it have to be me?! No! I don't want to be evil! Wait... I'm... The only Black girl here... I do not want to be evil! Who is this Evil Lord guy anyhow? Albus Dumbledore defeated the dark lord... something... I forgot his name... but something.

Normal POV:

Both girls were stunned. She both thought the other thought that it was them that Sibyll spoke of. She and her were both from respected pureblood families who knew about Seers and what they were. She was doomed. She and her friend.

An inkwell spluttered onto the table nearby bringing both girls down to earth.

Bellatrix spoke, "You know who she is don't you?" Annabelle lowered her head, "Yeah, yeah I do."

They both ate in silence at the Slytherin table, ironically, no one but the two 'Bells' heard it. Sibyll seemed as though nothing happened as she heartily ate her bacon and eggs not gaining a pound. A strange twinkle in her eyes.

Bellatrix narrowed her eyes at the offending eggs and then at the offending egg's owner. She was about to strangle Sibyll. How dare she, mousy, tiny, and weird, say something about her, Bellatrix, strong, beautiful and normal at least. I WILL NOT HAVE IT! She thought. No body talks bad about a Black. NOBODY. She was about to run up and strangle the girl when Professor McGonagall, as though she was tipped off about the future, walked up and put a hand on Bellatrix's shoulder.

"I expect alot from you. Your sister was certainly a student. I am quite sure you will be as well." She said beaming. She also added as an after-note. "Next time, Black, do not stare at your target while squeezing your hard-boiled eggs." She winked.

Bellatrix looked at her hand and noticed eggshells sticking out of her hand. "Oops." She said as it began to bleed a bit. Professor McGonagall healed it with a flick of her wand before Bella could tell her that she didnt mind. McGonagall walked away to the teacher's table.

Annabelle was chuckling at Bella's eggshells, which were still stuck to her hand. "Oh shut up... Whats your last name again?"


I refuse to write more until I get more reviews. And yes, the last part was intentional. Now I ask you, please review. Im not giving up on this story just yet. Just yet that is to say. Please don't have me give up on this story. I like it and I hope you do too. Just review and you WILL get longer chapters. That I can promise.
