Re: Jacob and Bellatrix
Jacob would admit this was better than fighting someone who didn't have a clue what they were doing, oh he had fun with the torturing and killing but a challenge like this? Well even when he had been fighting on the opposite side this wasn't a chance he got often. Bellatrix knew she was good, but she underestimated him, and he knew it - all he had to do was wait for his opening.
"There's a difference between grovelling to a half-blood child and joining ranks with the only man that child ever feared." He shot back smirk on his face as he ducked under the flash of green that came his direction a moment later, and he laughed.
"It would take much more than a sentimental band of Gryffindors to convince me of that - and I can think on no one more deserving of that than you." He threw the killing curse right back at her and followed it quickly with two more spells one on either side of the killing curse, hoping she would be hit with at least one spell - though the killing curse would be preferable.
