Day 14:
-Bellatrix Lestrange
-Divination Cards
-A Cursed Dagger
-"All I've got to do is kill a man pure of blood and wicked of mind"
Note: My experience with Tarot/ Divination /Oracle Cards is limited to the readings I have had, watching a TV show called Carnivale in which of the characters had the gift and she did readings. I also have a deck of Tarot Cards and a deck of Angel Cards the latter of which I used to write this. The Divination Professor name is taken from the character in the Carnivale series that did the Tarot readings.
Warning: Includes the mentions of a sensitive topic: Miscarriage.
Bella and the Angels
Bella shuffled the pack of Divination Cards in front of her. This was pointless she muttered to herself, why was she here again. Oh right, she stupidly decided it was a good idea to take Divination for her OWLs all because she heard that Rodolphus Lestrange was taking the subject.
"Miss Black," a wispy voice spoke to her causing the young woman to jump.
"Professor," Bella spoke, "I am having some trouble, the angels aren't telling me to stop."
"My dear," Professor Bojakshia replied, "It is because you are not clearing your mind, now repeat the first steps on the sheet and try again.
Under the watchful gaze of her Professor, Bella held the deck of cards in her left hand and knocked the top of the deck with her right.
"Now clearly think of your question," the Professor informed her.
Wondering what to ask, Bella's eyes travelled around the classroom before they settled on Rodolphus Lestrange. Bella knew exactly what she was going to ask and thus begun shuffling her cards.
As she was shuffling two cards fell out from the deck and onto the table before her, she carried on shuffling until she heard a faint whisper in the back of her head.
Stop
Bella halted her shuffling and placed the deck face down. Gazing at the two cards that had fallen from the deck Bella looked at the images before her and read the descriptions she felt her heart leap when she saw the one read 'Wedding'. She could marry Rodolphus. Perhaps Divination wasn't so bad after all.
"Wedding," the Professor stated, "Perhaps your parents may present you with a betrothal contract this summer," and with that the Professor walked off.
Five Years Later
Bella played with her cursed dagger as she stood above her dying father in laws body in the man's study.
"Why?" the man coughed out.
"In order to give your son an heir," she replied, "All I have to do is kill a man pure of blood and wicked of mind."
"Why?" he asked.
"The cards told me," Bella replied, "they have never lied to me, so why would they lie now."
With that Bella exited the study and made her way to her husband. Leaving her father in law to die.
Seven Months Later
"I am sorry Mrs Lestrange," the Healer said softly, "You have miscarried."
Bella croaked back a sob, "Leave me."
The Healer left.
Bella reached to her bedside table and opened the drawer and took out her Divination Cards.
"Incendio," she hissed angrily and she cackled as the cards burned to a crisp and the angels screamed in her ear, begging her to stop.
