I've been reading the most beautiful drabbles on here and just thought I'd give it a go. This as you might guess is about Bellatrix, but I'm really hoping that if I get some positive responses to my attempt at drabbles, then I'll continue and write about more people (everyone). Requests are very welcome, in fact... they're encouraged!

She used to be so different

so vivid so glowing so alive

but now she's dying inside

because its not her world

she didn't see it grow

change shift morph

she thinks its still the same

the old ways

the past

memories

she doesn't know

she was locked away,

hidden...

imprisoned.

for crimes everyone knows she committed

because of her beliefs

because of her pride.

She survived only to find herself dying

fading

disappearing

and every day, every day

she's a little bit more...

loose around the edges.

She can't stop it.

She tries.

(fails).

She's angry, can't be stopped

she kills, because...

because?

Because if everyone else is dead,

she must seem more alive

(by comparison)

her whole life's a show

(always has been)

acting

lies

pride

she shouts it

screams at the world

(because no-ones listening anyway)

they think she's crazy

deranged and damaged

she's not, she's pretending.

Always.

Trying to hide bigger secrets.

And she's fading faster.

By the time she hits the ground.

By the time that spell hits home.

She's nothing.

A shell.

But then again...

She was nothing from the start.
