Submission for:
The 5 Drabbles Competition: Bill Weasley/Bellatrix Lestrange. Prompt: Balloon
She had been staring at the lone pink balloon floating the middle of their bedroom as it hovered at about eye level while tied to a small wrapped box on the floor. Anyone would have dove for the box immediately, releasing the balloon and opening the gift but not her.
She was Bellatrix Black-Weasley, ex-Death Eater and once right-hand-woman of the Dark Lord. She laughed in the face of danger and revelled in the thought of bloodshed. She had done things that could make your hair stand on end. And here she was scared of a balloon.
You would be too if your husband was the only one who could match your wit, the one who was immune to your death threats, the one who knew your darkest secrets and deepest fears, and the one who loved to play pranks from time to time.
Eventually, her curiosity outweighed her fear and she walked to the box and picked it up, carefully opening the lid.
Pop!
She was covered in purple goop while water squirted from the opened box. She shrieked as she ran out of the room to find her husband. He was a dead man.
