Bellatrix made a list the moment she stepped through the gates of Azkaban. When she got out, she would take a shower, lie in a sunny field, eat twenty ripe strawberries, and be reunited with the Dark Lord.

It took a year for the Dementors to leech all goodness from strawberries. Five years until a sunny field held only horror. Ten years later, and showers were a source of dread.

Azkaban had taken away everything she loved, but it couldn't take away her loyalty to the Dark Lord. Sometimes she wondered about that. After all, wasn't he a happy thought?
