Echoes Down the corridor;
Bella's Angel is part 3 in a trilogy I have been writing. Daughter of Darkness (part 2) which is in its beginning stages and posted on the site tells of Bella's turning point and what happened to her to make her become what she is in the HP books today. So Blooms the Ebony Rose which is the first part of the trilogy that I am writing at the moment as well as the rest of Daughter of Darkness will tell of Bella's childhood and her 16 year old self. However Bella's angel for me is the most important.
Two years after Melody's death Bella became pregnant with her third child – a boy. The father of this child was Rodolphus whom she had come to care for even more after the death of the Dark Lord. Tragically the child did not live past its first birthday. Bella then fell into a vicious circle of darkness after loosing three of her children from which she could not escape. She ended her days in a harrowing reflection of that of the Dark Lord by taking her life one cold winter evening, alone and heartbroken, no one was there to hear her scream.
For the others left behind their lives faired a little better. Draco Malfoy eventually overcome his grief and married some years later becoming successful in the ministry of magic – he is rumoured to become the next minister. He had two children – one of which went on to study at Hogwart's and discover Tom's diary, Tom then managed to find a suitable victim and in a last attempt of power managed to kill 14 muggle borns and become a 16 year old boy again. His future still hangs in the balance, for all of his faithful servants have scattered. It is no longer possible for him to reign again as the most feared wizard in the magical world. His dynasty is ruined, but his darkness prevails.
The last part of the jigsaw – Lucius Malfoy finally confessed his sins to his loyal wife Narcissa. Their marriage broke down, Narcissa was able to forgive him but Lucius – hanging on to his bitterness and despair could not be forgiven, he died at the age of 69, after forcing every out of his life. He was found by Draco who was told that his father had apparently slipped away peacefully in his sleep. But the circumstances seemed to point to murder; no body knows the truth to this day.
The dark mark lives on, carved into the skin of the surviving deatheaters, but there is no one to call them together. They are divided and leaderless, they all lived out the rest of their days in silence waiting to hear the call from their master – they would wait in ignorance. No call came, the last death eater eventually died 70 years after the Dark Lords fall, every one of them were forced to carry on living with the muggle borns and traitors that they had tried so hard to destroy – an everlasting mockery to their loyal work.
They were death,
Innocent blood should not be spilt,
She cried,
No one was there to catch her tears.
