4 years later…
Bellatrix sat in front of the mirror as a Druella draped a necklace dripping with jewels over her neck, "A family heirloom, given to the first married child of the Black family."
"Thank you," Bellatrix breathed smiling, her long curly locks of black hair styled up in the Black family traditional hairstyle. Druella smiled back in the mirror and kissed her cheek, she moved back to the closet to reveal a flowing dress, her wedding dress.
Instead of a snowy white the dress was ink black with pearls and silk adorning it, eagerly Bellatrix slipped it one and looked to the full body mirror. The dress hugged her sides and the elbow length sleeve dropped down a bit further up to her wrist, silk caressed her legs when she walked and the pearls made it look like the night sky over the Black Manor. A thin black veil covered half of her face from a single black rose.
"Its gorgeous mother," she breathed, she was stunning yet fierce looking, like a warrior should be.
"No worries Bella," her mother smiled, "Cygnus wanted the best for our first wed, Andromeda will have the same love then young Narcissa, are you ready?"
"Yes mother," Bellatrix slipped into her fancy high heeled boots and followed her mother down the grand staircase. At the bottom were Narcissa and Andromeda both stunning, the bridesmaids breathed in awe as their sister walked past.
"Do you Rodulphus take this woman as your wife?" the priest asked.
"I do," Rodulphus answered holding onto Bellatrix's hand.
"Than I will pronounce you man and wife," the priest called, "You may kiss the bride."
Bellatrix felt the veil being lift and his kiss sent shudders up her spine, she pressed into it loving it. He pulled back his grey eyes shining in happiness matched her dark brown ones and they went in for another.
Bellatrix was led to the dance floor and hand in hand danced with her lover, his eyes bright with energy. She could see Narcissa and Lucius talking and Andromeda and Theodore dancing close by. Love was all she could feel, warm and gentle as she slipped deeper into it, "Rodulphus, I love you."
"Me too Bell, I love you," Rodulphus brushed her hair aside and swept her off her feet laughing. Bellatrix's black curls flying undone from the hairstyle as she laughed out of pure happiness.
2 months later…
The Hogwarts express was filled with students as it started to move, Bellatrix leaned against Rodulphus across from Lucius and Narcissa. It was her youngest sister's first year and she was nervous her strange blue eyes glimmering.
It was Bellatrix's fifth year now and only two short months of marriage to Rodulphus, she still hated Lucius even if her sister was in love with him. Bellatrix breathed and smiled sweetly at Lucius, "You better treat Cissy right or you'll regret it Malfoy."
"I will," he answered, he wrapped his arms around Narcissa's slim waist and she grinned up at him.
Bellatrix smiled her cat smile as Andrie called it at Cissy and buried her face in her husband's shoulder. Her long curls falling down her shoulders as he stroked it with a gentle hand.
"Where is Andrie?" Narcissa asked sitting up and looking around, her blue eyes started to cloud in worry, "I saw her earlier…"
"Probably with her friends," Bellatrix answered calmly. Andromeda had been a bit distant lately but she had always been weird, especially after what their father had done to them.
"HOW DARE YOU?" Cygnus bellowed. His hand hit Bellatrix's cheek with so much force she fell to the floor in a pile at her sister's feet. She looked up glaring at him as his foot caught her stomach.
"How dare you defile this house with muggle weaponry?" Cygnus kicked her again but she barely made a sound. Her eyes met his defiantly, she snarled and stood shakily as he broke his hand down on her face again, something broke as the crack sound echoed in her head.
He kicked her again but she moved in front of her sisters, "Stop father!"
He grabbed her hair and jerked her head up with sickening force, "I will break you."
"Never," Bellatrix growled as her elbow hit him, her lip had burst covering her natural scarlet lips with the crimson liquid. Breaking free she kicked Cygnus her leg connecting at his side but he grabbed it and pulled, her head smashed against the ground as Narcissa let out a loud scream.
She woke up bleeding in ropes, her breath shallow and her body was laid in a pool of her own blood. Fire raged through her body as she let out a gasp of pain, a metallic taste lingered in her mouth as she tried to move. Cygnus's foot connected to her stomach making her grit her teeth as it hit a knife mark.
"Broken yet?" he growled lifting her up by her hair.
"Never!" she shouted. He threw her to the ground and drew the already bloodied knife as Rodulphus tackled him to the ground and Bellatrix lost consciousness.
Bellatrix squeezed her eyes shut and gripped Rodulphus tighter, the knife had been plunged into her lower abdomen into her womb destroying it. Magic couldn't heal it leaving her in pain for weeks, mentally and physically.
Rodulphus sensing her pain drew her even closer and kissed her forehead, "He's gone Bell."
Bellatrix nodded numbly and closed her eyes as tears threatened to fall, breathing through her mouth she opened her eyes and met Narcissa's. The scar stretched down from her cheekbone to her jaw now pale and white. The fear in her eyes was mirror and Bellatrix reached out and held her hand tightly her own pale white scar on the back of her hand.
"He is dead," Bellatrix said firmly, on a silent cue Lucius changed seats with her and she hugged her sniffling sister avoiding the areas that Cygnus had carved into the young girl's back.
"Bye Cissy, see you later!" Bellatrix waved as her sister walked after Professor Gemini to the boats. Andromeda held her hand on the carriage as it was pulled along by the threstrals that all the sisters could now see.
"SLYTHERIN!"
Narcissa took the hat off and handed it to the professor before sitting in the middle of Bellatrix and Andromeda. They all felt a comfort of being together even if Bellatrix was no longer a Black but a Lestrange. Few would dare speak to Bellatrix who was well respected and feared, they thought of the Black sisters as unreachable princesses except for Edward Tonks, a Hufflepuff.
"Hi Bellatrix," he smiled. Bellatrix smiled back at the one boy who had made Andromeda happy, she had swallowed her pure blood pride to allow Andromeda to love him since she had never loved Theodore.
He gently tapped Andromeda's shoulder and whispered in her ear, she giggled and nodded before he went off to his table. Narcissa was shoveling food ungracefully into her mouth like she had been starved but a sharp jab to the side had her eating like the way their mother had told them to do.
"So, what are your classes?" Bellatrix asked Narcissa, the young girl raised her wand and did a simple spell and the paper containing her schedule appeared.
"Charms, Potions, Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, and Ancient Runes," she read. Her brow twisted at Ancient Runes that she knew she would have a hard time with but looked up at Bellatrix and Andromeda, "Are they good classes?"
"Yeah," Andromeda nodded, "Look, Dumbledore is speaking."
