Bellatrix Malfoy

Backstory

The night I received my letter i couldn't help but imagine Dumbledore's fragile hands spelling out each letter on the parchment (even though I knew the letters were written by magic.)

I have to admit I wasn't real confident I would even receive a letter because of my blood purity: half-blood. My father is pure-blood and my muggle-born mother still doesn't know much about magic. To make it even harder for me to receive a letter my father and Dumbledore weren't exactly close.

I've always wanted to become a Slytherin because my father was a very well known Slytherin known by the name of Draco Malfoy. When the sorting hat ceremony began I was squirming in my chair because I knew if I was not in Slytherin I would disappoint my father. The moment came when the sorting hat was placed on my head and started hissing into my ears. At that moment, that very moment, I knew I would not let my father down.
