Broomstick

"Bella come on let's play." Ughh Rabastan can be such a whiner.

"No Rabby we're going to open presents soon." He groans, why he can't just behave like everyone else is beyond me. At least his brother has the decency to do as I say. Mum comes out of the house carrying a couple of packages and the rest of the guests are already out here.

"Ok are we ready for some presents?" I let out a squeal of delight. I love getting presents I mean what ten year old doesn't.

"Bella open the one from your father and I last." I groan mum can be so annoying sometimes. I grab the first present and tear off the wrapping paper. I open up the box and see a beautiful emerald dress. I look up at Uncle Orion and Aunt Walburga who are both smiling.

"Thank you" I say and their eyes gleam even more. I really don't like dresses but mum and dad said to be polite to everyone and to say thank you as well. I move onto open the rest of the gifts until I get to mum and dads. I tear off the silver paper and reveal a Cleansweep broomstick. My eyes go wide and I can feel the smile spreading across my face.

"Do you like it Bella" dad asks.

"Yes I love it!" I stand up out of the chair and walk with my broom away from the party.

"Now Bella" mum chimes "remember to be very careful I don't want you falling and breaking something." I roll my eyes and turn back to her.

"Don't worry mum I don't plan on breaking anything on my birthday." She just smiles and I mount my broom. I kick off the ground and begin soaring through the air. It's like nothing I've ever experienced. The wind flies around me stinging my face, but the feeling of soaring over my house makes me feel so happy. It's nice to know that I'm above everyone else on a level that no one else at the moment can compare to. After flying around for a couple of minutes I fly down to the ground and dismount. Not one gift can compare to this broom, not even the chocolates from the Lestrange's. This gift gives me freedom, the freedom I've been so desperately wanting from my family.

"How do you like it Bella?" Andy asks as I come back to the party.

"It was wonderful." Andy just smiles, but I can see that she's is jealous of me. I'm the first to get a broom, I'm the first to do anything and this really tics her off. The party continues and eventually everyone leaves.

"Come on Bella let's go to bed now." I turn to mum and then turn to my broom.

"No Bella it's time for bed."

"But mum" I stop myself; I just sounded like Narcissa.

"Come on Bellatrix to bed now." I sigh and carry my broom into the house. I set it in the parlor next to the fireplace but it won't be there for long. If mum really thinks I'm going to stay in bed and not fly this broom she's got another think coming.

Hope your enjoying this piece. I think I'm going to do a couple more drabbles with Bellatrix at this age. Reviews are love. :D
