Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Bellatrix POV

I never pleaded when you branded me with the dark mark or when you punished me for failing you.

Yet, today I pleaded with you not to go to the Potter house; begged you to send me or another deatheater to dispatch of the brat and his parents, but you insisted that you could handle it.

That was hours ago and you have already left to go to the Potters and deep down I know I won't see you again for a long time.

I don't know why or how I know, but I know that it is true.
