Lily was sitting at the Gryffindor table when Sirius came in, immersed in violent argument with a tall, dark-haired girl. Lily watched with some interest as Sirius stormed over and sat down next to her.
"Who was that?" Lily asked, unable to drag her eyes off the girl as she flounced to the Slytherin table.
"Her?" Sirius asked through a mouthful of toast. "My… cousin. Bellatrix."
"She's… beautiful," Lily murmured. Bellatrix sat down and pushed back her mass of dark curls, and Lily could swear that she looked right at her. Her heart skipped a beat.
"I suppose," Sirius shrugged. "I wouldn't get too close to her, though."
"Why not?"
"Because she's out of her mind. Honestly, Evans, she'd probably kill you if you got too close."
Lily didn't say anything else to Sirius, but she did watch Bellatrix all through breakfast. And by the time they had finished eating, she knew quite well that she was going to ignore Sirius's instructions. She would get just as close to Bellatrix as she pleased. After all, how dangerous could she be?
