Bellatrix's P.O.V

At the beginning I honestly did join the Dark Lord because I believed in his cause, but in the end I stayed by his side because I loved him.

At times it wasn't easy to stay or love him. There were days when I would have traded anything to stop loving him, to have the strength to walk away.

But then there were days that he reminded me why I fell for him in the first place. Why I could not, nor will I ever find the strength to leave his side.

I joined because I believed, I stayed for love.
