Please do not antagonize the Death Eaters.

... much.

Sorry, Professor, couldn't help it...

Dora Lupin. Don't ever antagonize Death Eaters. They may not be able to get you, but you give them a reason to hurt something close to you.

*does quickly sober up* I know, Professor.

But where Bellatrix is concerned, even if I behave like an angel, my son would still be in danger. It just doesn't make a bit of a difference...

*glares, oh yes, he's very glare-y on some things* Dora, yours is not the only child in the world. I want nothing to happen to Teddy but Bellatrix could take anything else from you. She could kill your mother, she could kill you once more.

Act wisely or I will be forced to do so in your stead.

Yes, Professor. I have been trying to avoid her*, but when she threatened children... I couldn't let just Harry step up before her. Because some things are important, no matter what the personal risk.

ooc: *Honestly, this was the VERY first time Tonks ever brushed up with Bella.

Dora. Sometimes it is prudent to bite your tongue. When we fight, we fight to win, so go into the game ready to lose everything and waste not a single blow that can be gained by playing games that could kill you if you do not win. I hand chose you for the Order of the Phoenix and we do not waste our time by taunting those we seek to defend against.

((Dumbledore is in a REALLY grumpy mood re. Bella, it isn't Tonks fault but he's pretty much pissed at everyone because he thinks they're just ASKING to be/have someone they love killed/crucio'd. He's very practical, Dumbledore. He's also a bit of a jerk underneath that Grampa exterior))

Yes, Professor. I'll make a note to spend less time around Lucius Malfoy.

I was ready to fight, should she have actually attempted something. But I... digressed.

ooc: Gotta love him. Brought Tonks up to heel in zip time too... I'm impressed.

Thank you, Dora. You're a splendid Auror, and you only need to settle down some. You're still so very young.

I know, but never taunt. Never antagonize. If she threatens make your intentions clear: "Follow through and I will stop you."

*nods and promises herself to keep that in mind* Yes, Professor. I... didn't want to have a real fight so close to the kids either. But I should have held my tongue.

A real fight would have been more desirable than her taking your taunts into consideration and following through on her threats. Be prepared for anything.

She deserved it, after all she tried to use her magics to curse me, I used mine to make a fool of her. She wanted to hurt people so I taught her a lesson.

No. You didn't. You made her a fool, an angry fool, and she will still hurt people. She will do so more because you were rash. *eyespark, frown* Do not antagonize the Death Eaters. Do I make myself very clear? They are my world's problem and you will not be there every time to put Mrs. Lestrange in a pink dress. MY world, my people will pay for you making her angry.

Your people, as you put them, are mine also. Just because my patheon if of Greek basis does not mean I do not watch over everyone. Headmaster *yes, she knows who he is* this woman has no real soul, it is bitter, twisted and uncaring.

She needs to see that there are those who do not fear her, fear gives her power she should not possess.

*SNAPS, and he's good at it, too* Protecting them does not include antagonizing a very vicious witch! A bitter and twisted soul is still a soul, do not speak on what you do not understand, Goddess.

And in turn she turns her cruelty on the weak, like a bully. She turns to those who do fear her, and it's that much stronger. Do. Not. Antagonize. The Death Eaters.

Not to sound petty, but she did start this, I reacted to her threats in a non violent way. And her soul is something I know a lot about, souls are my purpose.

And how exactly has she done that to? She has argued and threatened but has not acted on those impulses. Maybe she see's there are those who will stand up to her now. But no matter what you believe, there is nothing that you, nor I can do to stop her, all we can do if offer protection to those around us. She was lucky it was I who spoke to her, others of my kind would not have been so kind.

You are vain. How do you know what she has done? She has THREATENED children not a day ago. She threatened MY children, she threatened my staff and my friends and you have opened to world to more threats. You are vain. Do you think all I do is offer protection? Do not pretend to know me. You may know my name but you do not know who I am.

Putting a pretty pink dress on Bellatrix does nothing but upset her, and if ANYONE pays the price I will put the blame on YOUR shoulders, Goddess.

((Thousands of apologies. Dumbledore gets VERY tetchy when people do things he deems as rash. If the person doing them is not Harry Potter, I mean. He's tetchy from before, anyways. This just ticked him off and he had to speak. he's very opinionated. And he can be a real bastard under that sweet-Grandfather exterior.))

I am vain? This is an interesting thing coming from a man who's arrogance come's across in waves. You act like you are the perfect soul and yet you are tainted like everyone else, in some cases more so. This world isn't your world. Things are not done to the words of one man and one man alone, people have their own voices and thoughts.

You cannot control people and you will not tell me what I should and should not be doing. I am here, around those who allow me to be, offering help and support if they so wish to take it. And, as it seems, you are the only person who feels that those outside of the magical world should not lend a hand. Is that not rather hyprocrytical of you?

ooc:No worries, she can get on her high horse at times but she's actually one of the sweetest and noble people out there. She'll help anyone who asks for it and will listen to anyone. Bella just annoyed her because she was threatening people and she looks after them

Excuse you. You have no idea what you are talking about. I use the term "my" world to differentiate. I do not own it. But I know more of it than you do. I taught this girl. You may know who she is, but I know who she is. I have spent years defending against her kind.

Oh, you will find I will tell you what you should and should not be doing unless you are volunteering to follow Mrs. Lestrange about and be sure she doesn't cause trouble. You think you have done good, that you have "put her in her place". Keep her in it, then. Because it will be me that is cleaning up the pieces for rash actions. I can be a very arrogant man, but I think here it is not arrogance so much as experience and anger.

Do you remember who she was, that child who was so close to her sisters, the girl who would fight tooth and claw to keep her family safe. Do you remember her? Do you know she is still inside, that strong caring child, so hidden and broken by what drove her to such madness.

I know you probably do not want my advice Headmaster, but as I know about souls, beneath this black and twisted soul is the child she once was, maybe that is a way in for you. A way to change things.

You will see me again, I know you will. I feel my path is entwined with your kind. Be well and keep people safe.

*vanishes in a puff of sparkles*

ooc:Not taking liberties with Bella character. Her mun is currently camped out on my living room floor with her computer and she gave me the info on how she see's Bella. I do hope these two meet again, but under better times

Forgive me Headmaster. I fear Bella and I had a dust up of our own.

We drew wands but I could not bring myself to kill. Not even the monster who wears my sister's face.

*hesitates*

There was a moment though, a fleeting moment when I thought I saw her true self looking out at me. She opened her mouth to Crucio me but couldn't...

Is it possible? *swallows* Is there every any hope for someone who's done what she's done? How can I still grieve for her know what she did to my child?

You are human, Andromeda, and she is your blood and your flesh. I grieve for what Tom did to himself, and he is not even my blood.

I am not sure, Andromeda, if there is hope, but I promise that somewhere very deep in that woman is your sister. Whether or not she can be saved is another matter.

*nods*

You're right of course. I have made it very clear to Bella that I will do what is necessary to protect my daughter and my grandson. Should she come after them again... I pray that day never comes.

YOU!! THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO? *holds her wand towards her*

I could do worse Bella, much worse. Although I think that people would feel happier with your disposition if I was to do what I feel I should do.

DO YOUR WORST!! *pulls out her wand* AVADA KEDAVRA!!!

*falls down onto the floor and starts laughing*

It tickles, stop it.

What? How? Thats not possible! *angry, she casts it again* AVADA KEDAVRA!

*laughs even harder*

Bella I'm not human, you can't hurt me.

Dont call me Bella!

*looks at her with disgust* What creature are you!?

*dusts herself off and stands up*

I am a goddess, one who like to watch over mortals souls and I can read yours Bella. I can see that loving and caring child you once were.

*Lets out a loud cackle* you may be a Goddess but you cant see a soul in me! Mine died long ago! Whats left is the dark lords and his alone!

DONT call me Bella!

Should I prove to you child that there is a sou within you still?

Do anything and the dark lord will destroy you!

You wouldnt stand a chance against him, little girl!

I do not dwell within the same realm as you mortals your magics cannot touch me. And yet mine will touch you.

*claps her hand and there's a shimmer of sparkles around Bellatrix*

*tries to avoid the sparkles and waves her arms trying to get them to go away*

What are you doing you poor excuse for a witch!

I just thought it was time to see the child within.

*grins, watching as her clothes seem to get a little too big*

*little girl pokes her head out the top of a black dress with a bright smile*

Hello. Have you seen my sisters anywhere?

I think the first things is first.

*moves to her*

I think we need to get you a better dress. What colour would you like?

*looks up at her* Mother says Im not aloud to wear colour unless its green or black. If not I get told off. I dont like it when she shouts *little shiver* sometimes she screams at me.

Well your mother isn't here now is she. What colour would you like to wear?

Can I have a red one please? *looks at the floor and shuffles her feet about all shy*

*changes her dress for a pretty red (http://store.tjformal.com/asp/images/20605-02-b.jpg) one*

There

Thank you lady, its beautiful! *twirls around*

You look beautiful too.

*runs over and gives her a big hug*

I hope Im as pretty as you when I grow up

*hugs her softly*

I hope so too.
