A/N: This took me a very long time, and it took alot of thinking and planning. I have to say, this little plot bunny very easily got out of hand!
Warnings: This story is going to contain incest. Nothing that bad just quite yet, but it's going to be pretty bad.
Disclaimer: I'm not, and never will be J.K. Rowling. This all belongs to her, and if she knew I was abusing her characters so badly, she'd surely murder me!
The light in the room was dim, as if the sun was just barely shining, and this made her bedroom incredibly dark. Everything was quiet, as it was just early morning, but Bellatrix knew that this was sure to change. She rolled over onto her back, hoping for a few more moments of rest.
She had the strangest dream the night before, with her, all grown-up, being killed by a red haired woman. After she had died, she had been sent to the strangest place, with big puffy clouds, and a tall, pale woman met her there. They had been talking about...Sirius and her. Bella giggled. Imagine, Sirius being Reg's brother, and her being Dromeda and Cissy's sister! It was much to strange for her to even comprehend.
As if he had been summoned, Reg threw her door open and sprinted onto her bed, and jumped right on her chest.
"Regulus Arcturus Black!" she shrieked, shoving her brother off her, and right onto the floor.
Reg laughed as he pulled himself up. He rushed back over to his sister's bed, and attempted to pull her off of the bed.
"Get up, Bella! Siri and the girls are here! We have to take them to the train!" He informed her.
Bella clambered out of bed, and shoved her brother out of her room. "What was that for?" Regulus exclaimed, his voice muffled by the door.
"I have to get ready!" She shrieked back at him.
It was true. Her hair was a mess of curls, as usual, and her face looked incredibly tired. That might have had something to do with the fact that she had been up until all hours, trying to come up with a good prank for this morning. She had completely failed. She couldn't think of anything! And that, of course, might have had something to do with the fact she had a very limited amount of people to prank, as her parents and uncle and aunt were off limits, for obvious reasons. She couldn't do anything to Andromeda, as she liked her older cousin far too much, and Narcissa would be a bad sport about it, as always.
And Siri? Well… call it intuition, but she figured is she tired to do anything to him, he'd catch her, and Bella just knew her mother would kill her if she did anything to the man she knew she was going to have to marry.
Bella pulled off her long nightgown and pulled on a jumper, which she paired with a short black skirt. She quickly ran a brush threw her curls, attempting to tame them. Naturally, she failed.
Bella grabbed a pair of shoes from under her bed, and rushed out of the room- and almost ran over her younger brother.
"Bella!" he exclaimed, but before he could say anything else, she grabbed his hand, and dragged him down the stairs with her. He knew better than to complain-this happened often enough- but instead informed her, " I read a book that said dragging people is bad for their bones."
She rolled her eyes, and replied, " I think you read much to much."
It was, however, true. Normally, their father would be at work, and their mother at some society party or tea that she informed them they were much too young to be at. Regulus and Bellatrix were left all alone, with no one but that rather bitter Kreacher. So, in the absence of her parents, Bella quite often found herself planning pranks and causing general mischief all over the house. Reg, meanwhile, had no desire to be in as much trouble as his sister, spent most of his time reading. Bella herself had learned a great deal from him, as he loved to tell just about anyone what he knew.
Almost too soon, Bella found herself, and Reg, at the bottom of the staircase. Her whole family was crammed inside the tiny entryway of the Black family house. It seemed as the whole family had taken the day off to come see Cissy off for her first year of Hogwarts, she noted. Bellatrix saw her father, for once, as well as both of her uncles. It was odd to see one of them, let alone all three at the same time! Her mother and aunt were gossiping near the door, as always. Cissy and Dromeda were whispering together, and they waved when they spotted her, but Bella- unlike her brother- didn't rush over.
Where was he?
Suddenly, Bellatrix felt her whole body being lifted up, in a big, sweeping hug. "Sirius!" she shrieked in happiness. He laughed, and shifted her so he could see her face. She promptly threw her arms around his neck. He spun her around, twice more.
Sirius gently set her down, and kneeled down next to her. "I'm going to miss you." She informed him, staring into his eyes. Sirius had one more year at Hogwarts, as he was seventeen. He looked back into her eyes, and replied, " I hope you would, Bells. I'm going to miss you too!"
Before she could say anything else, her father called for quiet. "We do have a train to catch, after all." Bella turned to Sirius, and gave him the sweetest look she could muster. "Can I pretty please Apparte with you?" she begged, happy to have asked him before Reg could. Sirius smiled. "Of course you can, Bells."
She squealed in happiness, and grabbed him hand. They walked outside, following everyone else. Sirius glanced at her, and asked, "You ready?" "Yes, oh, yes, Sirius!" she exclaimed. She never got to Apparte anywhere; her mum always made her floo! It was dreadfully boring, especially to a 9- year-old.
Sirius gripped her hand tightly, and then the world began to spin, around and around faster and faster. She felt as if she was falling, into a deep hole. Suddenly, she felt herself land; right in the middle of King's Cross station. "Wow!" Bella exclaimed, and added, "That was the most fun I've ever had!"
Sirius rolled his eyes at her, and muttered, " Only you, Bella, would find that fun."
Bella choose to ignore that, and skipped along with him, until they were at the entrance to the platform.
"You first, " Sirius offered, and after she glanced around to make sure no Muggles were looking, and she rushed- head first- into the brick wall.
Bellatrix stood, in awe, staring at the Hogwarts Express. She couldn't believe she had to wait two whole years until she got to go on it as well!
Sirius appeared behind her, and took her hand. He was leading her towards the train, when she asked him, "Why can't go?" Bella didn't even try to hide the almost longing in her voice.
Sirius sighed, and turned and looked at her. "Bella, you're only nine! Just wait two more little years, and then you'll be terrorizing everyone at Hogwarts just the same as you do at home!"
Bella smiled tightly, as he kissed her on the top of her head. "I'll see you at the Holidays, yeah?" Sirius said, smiling at her as he got onto the train.
Bella waved at him, and slowly walked back to where the rest of her family were standing. Yes, she was going to miss Sirius- but there was a small part of her that was very happy he was going away. Sirius was the eldest, and he was a model Slytherin, Head Boy, and he played Beater on the Quidditch team!
It was nearly impossible to out do him in anything!
It was the same with Andromeda. Dromeda was very pretty, and very bright too- she was top of her class. Last year, she had gotten 10 O.W.L.s, and been made prefect! And Cissy? Well, Cissy easily the most beautiful girl ever born, and she wasn't nearly as stupid as she looked. And even with Reg, Bella was at disadvantage. He was smarter than she was, and always on their parents good side- he never caused mischief.
Bellatrix had learned from a very early age that the only way to get attention from anyone was to act out. To cause as much trouble as she could.
And that was certainly what Bellatrix Black was best at.
