Cygnus Black

Black as Snow

by Celestial Melody

Bellatrix and Tom Riddle--two of the most enigmatic characters in Harry Potter--have puzzled writers and readers alike since their equally horrifying introductions. Why did Bellatrix believe she was Lord Voldemort's most dedicated and favored follower? Why did the Dark Lord indulge a woman whom he could have squashed like an insignificant bug; why did he allow her to continue in her 'delusions,' if, indeed, they were delusions?

I believe that these allowances are not simply coincidences. Why should the most feared dark wizard of all time cater to a pawn? There must have been prior connections between the two to create this bond.

In "Black as Snow," we glimpse a snippet of Tom Riddle's life at Hogwarts, his (hypothetical) introduction to Bellatrix, and, afterwards, the special bond the witch and wizard shared ... then, and now.

Created for the wonderful rita_skeeter in MNFF's Ravenclaw Christmas Exchange, 2006.

Ancient, and Most Noble

by dresswithoutsleeves

It was 1975. Change was coming, fast and strong, and it swept the Black sisters along with it: Bellatrix to freedom and to madness, Andromeda to independence and to love, and Narcissa to womanhood and to the bitter taste of loss. Andromeda/Ted, Bellatrix/Rodolphus, Bellatrix/Voldemort (in a manner of speaking), Narcissa/Lucius.

A Madness Most Discreet

by Rose of the West

“Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; Being vexed, a sea nourished with loving tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking all, and a preserving sweet.” (Romeo and Juliet, Act I, Scene 1)
