Prefect. That had been Slughorn's stupid idea -- to give Bellatrix some responsibility, a sense of worth and a challenge. It had, thus far, backfired spectacularly. When she didn't spend the rounds with her hand planted firmly under Blishwick's skirt she was brutally punishing people for doing very little wrong; power, it would seem, didn't take long to corrupt. McGonagall had entertained more complaints about Bellatrix Black than any other prefect in the history of Hogwarts. The very next one would see her reign of terror ended, for she would be stripped of her badge.
