Halloween Gift for Donnaimmaculata
Gift for: donnaimmaculata
From: kelly_chambliss
Title: To and Fro
Character: Bellatrix
Rating: PG
Summary: Bellatrix has a special reason for looking forward to Samhain.
Notes: donnaimmaculata, I have been a fan of yours ever since I read your wonderful Griphook/Muriel fic. I'm pleased to have this chance to write a little horror for you.
The Shades guarding the Veil flutter uneasily as Bellatrix approaches.
Yet they do not stop her as she glides past them into the temporal realm. Indeed, they cannot stop her. Not tonight.
For tonight is Samhain, the one time that the Veil thins, and any spirit who wishes can pass through to spend a brief, breathing hour among the living.
But only Bellatrix has the power to bring one of the living back with her.
Back to death.
Her Lord taught her the secret, for she is the only one He really trusted. She is His. Always and forever.
It is for His sake that she breaches the Veil, seeks out His enemies. Why should they live when He is dead?
She likes to choose someone who is loved and needed. Someone whose passing causes pain.
As the Veil closes behind her, Bellatrix draws breath.
And lives.
She has not decided, yet, who will return with her.
Perhaps hateful old McGonagall. Perhaps her ungrateful coward of a nephew. Or perhaps she will seize one of the Potter spawn, leaving its father alive to mourn.
She relishes the possibilities.
Taking another breath, Bellatrix dons her mask and joins the Samhain revels.
