Pococurante - 1. Caring little; indifferent; nonchalant. 2. A careless or indifferent person.
Bella's mother had always despaired of her as a careless hoyden. But Bella knew better. She knew she was capable of caring. Her love for her sisters proved that. It was just that whatever she cared for had to be worthy; worthy of her care; worthy of her.
When she was little, the Black family; its members, honour and prestige, was the only thing that met her exacting standards.
But then she heard of the Dark Lord. Heard of his mission to rid the Wizarding World of filth.
With a jolt, she realised it was time to deem another worthy.
