HP: Bellatrix Black

Introspective Synopsis: Mad as Bellatrix Black, elegant as Bellatrix Black, obsessive as Bellatrix Black. The words "pure-blood" were etched deep into her very bones. Yet, in the instant she closed her eyes as she died beneath a wand, she felt an overwhelming sense of release. She looked at the woman who had ended her life, but in her mind was the terrifying, disfigured face of her master... And yet what remained etched in her heart was the mesmerizing red gaze of their first meeting, like a spell she could never escape. Concise Synopsis: Bellatrix is reborn, back at the age of eleven, stripped of the sharp edges and madness that made people ache for her. She works to become a more elegant Black. But Bellatrix Black is still bold, sensual, and beautiful. Before being reborn, she nearly offered up her soul and dignity for love of her king, even though he had long since been disfigured by splitting his soul. After being reborn, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, her love fades into simple admiration and devotion. Perhaps that platinum-blond peacock... isn't so bad, either. Author's Note: This is a 1v1 story, with Lucius Malfoy as the pairing. Secondary pairing: Narcissa x Severus. [I'll change the professor's childhood a little here! After all, if his childhood had been happy, he wouldn't have feelings for Lily.] There won't be any tortured love, and the story will definitely have a warm and cozy feel. My principle is to keep everyone in character! I'll do my best. P.S. I probably won't sweat the details too much, since it's been a long time since I read Harry Potter. So please go easy on me, canon detail enthusiasts. P.P.S. I won't vilify Dumbledore. After all, I really like this respectable old man! And there won't be any cheat-like cultivation spaces or anything of that sort = = ... Well!
