Not all of it is strange. *softly*

*looks at him unsure, he reminds her of someone she knows but not exactly*

Most of it, my sisters are not here.

My apologies. Why are they not?

*he knows who she is of course, but will not bring up the fact, he's heard what's happened*

This man said it was not possible for them to come with me. That this place, this Earth is not something I can leave.

I'm lost from them forever.

*frowns...okay maybe she isn't the Bella he knows*

I'm sorry...

It does mean mother will no longer shout at me.

But I will miss my sisters and of course...*looks away and blushes a little* There was someone there who...mother only approved because he was a pureblood.

*nods slowly, his breath catching*

Yes, well... I... *feels the overwhelming desire to leave*

Not that he'd ever notice. See, my sisters are the beautiful ones, mother always tells me I am nothing compared to the two of them.

*Looks away*

Do you know how much it hurts to hear your own mother tell you that? She looks at me with such hatred.

*pauses*

Sorry, I shouldn't be telling you my problems.

It's okay. *softly with a small smile*

I'm Rodolphus.

I'm Bellatrix.

*blinks*

That being your name is very strange, that person I was talking about, he was called Rodolphus also.

I know... *though to which statement he was answering it was unclear*

You know?

*tilts her head, watching him*

Bellatrix...the one I'm familiar with... she was my wife....well she still technically is but she left. Something happened and she left. She never loved me anyway.

I'm sorry.

*plays with her hair*

I believe that mother wishes me to marry the Rodolphus I know, I've only just finished Hogwarts but it is something she pushes me to do.

*shrugs a little* It isn't your fault, I'm happy now. I just wish I knew that she didn't before I did everything I did, including take the Mark. Just...if you don't love your Rodolphus? Tell him, please. It will save him so much heartache later.

I wont ever get to tell him how I feel. The man who spoke with me said I cannot go home. I will never see him again.

Oh... but you're a witch. You can go anywhere you please by simply thinking about it!

I know what I am and what I can and cannot do. There is no way I can travel back in time and shift into another world.

Oh... *looks down, not really knowing what else to say*

*A beat before moving a little closer, tucking her fingers under his chin and looking into his eyes as she lifts his head*

Do not be sad. You have a life you love, or so you say, relish and live it. I am free from my mothers hatred and I hope I will find a place in this world.

Somehow.

*almost pulls away because this is Bellatrix no matter how old or from whatever world and his breath catches a little*

I do love it, I have a woman I love very much, I am soon to be a father, she did the best for me when Bella left whether she cared or no.

Then do not dwell on the past, look to the future, to your child.

*pulls away and looks down*

I only hope that someday I will be a good wife to someone.

I shan't. I wasn't. I just didn't expect...

*smiles softly*

You will, I promise you.

*can't help but smile back. Waits a moment before going and kissing his cheek before backing away*

Have a good life.

I shall, Bella. *smiles and nods*

You too.

I am going to try.
