Who: Lily Potter & Bellatrix Black
What: Lily confronts Bella about the fire
When: Wednesday evening
Where: Absolute Truth Ministries
Rating: R for talk of death and possible trigger warnings
Status: In progress



Lily hadn't exactly come clean with James about where she was going after work and she hadn't exactly told him about the conversation she had with Tonks. There was no need to get him all worked up when it was a situation that Lily felt she could handle herself. If things with south with Bellatrix then she would involve her goofy husband, but for the moment it was extremely personal.

Lily didn't know where Bellatrix lived, but she did know where the woman worked. She actually felt dirty pulling into the Absolute Truth Ministries parking lot and making her way into the office, but she was sure it was the right thing to do. Hit the woman where it hurt.

"I'm here to see Bellatrix Black," she told the receptionist. "Tell her it's about the fire."

The receptionist looked at Lily strangely, but went ahead and made the call.

Bellatrix was editing some video. It was boring her, and when she was interrupted she was glad for it. She hated her job. It drove her nuts, and her falling out with Caprica made her hate it all the more.

"It's about the fire."

She stared at the phone, then replied, "Send her in."

She closed the editing tool, and leaned back in her leather chair, steepling her fingers together and waited.

Lily put on her bitch face as the receptionist lead her to Bellatrix' office. She gave the receptionist a tight smile before entering the office and closing the door behind her. She approached Bellatrix's desk and put her hands down on it, leaning in to really get in the other woman's face.

"You leave Tonks out of this," she said, her voice low and menacing. "If you want to talk to me, you come to me. Got it?"

Bellatrix smirked. It was a dark expression on her face, and just bordered on the deranged, "It seemed fair, after what you did, lovey. Have a seat."

She gestured at the chair, then leaned forward, her elbows on the desk, "It wasn't like I threatened her."

"That was unintentional and you know it," Lily countered, but didn't move to take a seat. She was going to stand just to be contrary.

"You used your wand. Seems like a threat to me."

"Just some pretty displays of light. If I meant to harm her I would have hit her with it. It probably would have tickled."

She swiveled in her chair a bit, back and forth, back and forth, "I just wanted to get my point across."

Bellatrix just didn't care, to be frank. She gave no fucks.

Lily rolled her eyes. This whole situation was ridiculous. She wasn't going to get anywhere reprimanding the woman.

"What do you know about the fire that killed my family?" she asked.

"I dated the man who did it." Bellatrix replied. She pulled her wand out from her cleavage and twirled it around in her fingers. Her voice lightened, as though this was all rather boring to her.

"He used to brag about it. A monster, really, I don't know what I saw in him. Said he liked to remember their screams."

If Lily had been expecting anything from Bellatrix it hadn't been that. She gasped and straightened up to take a few steps away from the other woman. She stared at her in a new way, like she was disgusted and frightened all at the same time.

"Who?!" she was barely keeping together and her voice was strained not to crack. "If you don't tell me I'll just find out myself."

"His name is Voldemort," the Death Eater replied, keen to see if the name had any sort of effect on Lily. "He's in a prison in Colorado. Serial murder. Like I said, dating him was a huge mistake."

She pressed her wand against her lips, then added, "Well, not entirely a mistake. It gave me..warning."

Warning to not give into the feelings he invoked from her dreams. She just hoped she could ever heed that warning if he broke out.

She wasn't entirely sure she could. Caprica had been her anchor, to keep her secure.

Lily made this face exactly and took a few steps back in complete horror. It actually took her a little while before she could remove her hands from hiding her face.

"He's real," she said in horror. "And you..." She shook her head to try and put the pieces together. "You were in his cult. Oh my god. It all makes so much more sense now."

"You dreamed about him too, love? Oh joy, I feel so much less insane. Were you one of us or one of them?" She grinned, the expression crazed, "They don't like to talk about it. Mistakes were made and all that. You might not believe me but I'm rather glad he's locked away."

She waved the wand, green light shooting into the ceiling, "I'm not that monster I dream I am. I don't care if daddy touched me in all the wrong places, it's not going to make me that."

Bellatrix realized what she'd said a moment later, and then pointed the wand at Lily, "NOTHING! You say nothing to anyone do you understand me!?"

"Which side of that line do you think I was on?" Lily replied, her voice still disgusted. She practically spit it out at Bellatrix.

As soon as Bellatrix went for her wand, Lily went for her own, pulling it out of her back pocket. She pointed it at Bellatrix at relatively the same time she had one pointed in her own face. Still, Lily wasn't sure how much magic Bellatrix actually knew. Lily herself knew enough to levitate a feather and a few little charms, but that was it. Bellatix didn't know that though.

"I don't care where your disgusting father touched you," Lily replied. She didn't feel like crying anymore, so that was something, but now all she wanted to do was get the hell out of that office.

Bellatrix laughed. She knew enough to torture a rat, but that was about it. Lily didn't need to know that was how weak she was. She hadn't tried it on a human yet. She didn't think it would work but she also thought if she crossed that line there was no going back.

She wasn't ready yet to not go back. She slowly lowered her wand, not sure how much Lily remembered. It was too dangerous to take any chances.

"Good. That's our little secret. I hear they allow visitors. If you want that sort of thing. He has a lot of sick little fans."

Lily was so full of hate and rage at this other woman that a million curse words and horrible insults came to mind. She had to remind herself that she was a better person than that. She needed to get out of that office.

She lowered her own wand as soon as Bellatrix had done so herself, but she didn't put it away just in case.

"Like you?" Lily replied and then shook her head. The sadness was coming back again and she couldn't let Bellatrix see her cry. "I hope for your sake, he never gets out of that prison cell."

And then she turned to leave.

"Me too," Bellatrix replied quiet, all the fight suddenly gone out of her. She didn't know if Lily heard.
