It began with a girl who defied her mother, her father, and the most powerful wizard in the world. She was never mentioned throughout all of wizarding history, in order to protect her from their wrath, but now you will hear her story unfold before you…
In a dark castle, alone in a poorly lit room, a young woman lay in bed, her skin glistening with sweat. She panted slightly, clutching the soiled bedsheets in her fists. A shudder ran through her body and she moaned in agony. Through her throbbing pain, she smirked, thinking how much she- as His most faithful servant- as endured, but how she was brought to her knees by giving birth to a child.
A dark figure appeared in the doorway just as a final shudder shook Bellatrix's body. "Is he ready yet?" he hissed as he entered the room. Bellatrix reached for the crying child and frowned. "It's a girl," she informed him. The Dark Lord was careful to cloak his disappointment. "Perhaps she will be like you," he said with a cruel smile, although both of them knew girls rarely became Death Eaters.
Bellatrix wrapped the child in a warm woolen cloth as the Dark Lord watched carefully. "What are you naming her?" he asked. They both knew he didn't truly care what the child was called from the tone of his voice, but Bellatrix answered him anyways. "Aurora," she answered, smiling softly as the child shook her tiny fists in the Dark Lord's direction. "Ah…" Voldemort mused, "That reminds me…" he said, although he never actually forgot; this was the reason he came.
He got up and made his way over to the large fireplace that flickered with dying flames. Drawing out his wand, he placed it in the embers, murmuring a spell. Bellatrix watched silently as the tip grew hot, and, when Voldemort removed it from the flames, saw it turn green. He walked slowly back to the bed and grabbed the child's wrist, pointing the wand at it. With a silent spell, the emerald fire spewed out of the tip, spreading on the child's arm. The girl watched with wide eyes as the skull and snake appeared on her arm, before bursting into tears. Voldemort frowned, but Bellatrix drew the child closer to her. "She's hungry," she said quickly, placing the girl to her breast.
Voldemort put his wand away, satisfied. "She will be faithful," Bellatrix confirmed.
Ever since Aurora could hold a wand, Bellatrix taught her the secrets of the Dark Arts, but although Rory could perform the unforgivable curses to her mother's expectations, the Death Eater-to-be never showed any interest in serving Voldemort. If not for Bellatrix's protection, the Dark Lord would have killed Aurora for her defiance.
Then, after several years of training in the Dark Arts, Voldemort openly began his take over of the wizarding world, with Bellatrix as his most loyal fighter. Then the real murder began. Rory was never comfortable with Voldemort and her mother's obsess with the Dark Arts, and more and more people began dying- wizards and muggles alike.
Suddenly Voldemort died. Bellatrix was in tears, but Rory wondered in confusion. How could a baby beat the most powerful wizard in the world? Rory herself had meet Voldemort, and he was a fierce fighter, and although he was impatient, he was a good wizard and wasn't one to accidentally kill himself.
Bellatrix continued Voldemort's mission for several years after, but shortly after torturing the Longbottoms into a mentally ill state, Rory knew she had to do something. Bellatrix came to pick up her daughter for Christmas Break, but instead of meeting just seven-year-old Rory, Bellatrix found herself faced with at least twenty aurors and dementors. Although Bellatrix wasn't about to go down without a fight, she managed to kill at least three wizards before she was finally outnumbered.
Azkaban. Wizard Prison. Bellatrix never imagined being sent there, especially not by her own daughter…
The last image Bellatrix saw before being taken away by the dementors to Azkaban was the face of her daughter. Rory made no motion to stop her mother's imprisonment. In fact, she caused it. Bellatrix's mind was scarred with the face of her daughter for many long years in Azkaban, the memory of being dragged away while her daughter watched, glad to finally be free, branded into her mind forever…
In order to protect Rory from her father's wrath, the Ministry of Magic decided to send Rory to Hogwarts. She had been taught all the spells she needed to know by Bellatrix, and after displaying what she knew for Dumbledore, he chose to place her with the fourth years.
Rory was told that, for her own safety, she was to lay low for a while, and was not allowed to go to Hogsmede either. Rory agreed, but the day before she left for the Hogwarts Express, she discovered that the famous Harry Potter was to be in her year. Of course Rory has barely been able to contain her curiosity about the Boy Who Lived; she would have become a Death Eater if not for him.
Yet after thirteen years, Voldemort is on the move again. Nobody but Wormtail and Nagini knows of his return, but it won't be long…
And after seven years of imprisonment, Bellatrix is ready for her revenge.
I know this has already been really long, but bare with me for a bit longer…
