Every month a character from the Harry Potter books will be featured here at this special 'Character of the Month' section. He or she will answer your questions about canon, fanon and basically everything under the sun!
Character of The Month (April)
Ladies and gents, it's the moment you've all been waiting for! You've asked the questions, and *Bellatrix Lestrange has answered them. Her answers might appear blunt and mean, but that's just the way Bellatrix is (heck, she's a Death Eater for Merlin's sake!). Due to the large amount of questions and the lack of time to answer all of them, she has hand-picked a total of 30 questions.
*Bellatrix Lestrange is played by Stephanie, an RPG-er from CV's official RPG: Beyond Hogwarts. All answers are based on the storyline featured in 'Beyond Hogwarts' RPG*

So here's my question: What's with the anger?? Did you have a relationship with Lucius or Sirius that went bad??? Or was it because of Voldemort's influence?
...Anger? I'm not angry. At least I wasn't until you dared to speak My Lord's name. What makes you think you can just let it flow freely from your tongue, Muggle?!

I like your hair!!!! do you have a hairstylist? what shampoo do you use????? where do you go to do your hair?!?
It's refreshing to know that, of all the things I've done, you find my hair to be my crowning achievement. No pun intended.

Bellatrix, how in the world did you learn all that dark magic, and if so how long did it take?
What do you mean how? It's not as though it's learned in a different fashion from what one would call 'normal' magic. And as for how long, let's just say that it's been a lifelong endeavor, honed only by The Dark Lord.

Bellatrix Lestrange. You are often called quote "a character without a personality" like that annoying Weasley girl. I, a devoted Slytherin who has an obvious obsession with one, Draco Malfoy, find this ludicrous. How do you feel about being compared to that pureblood traitor?
Your worshipper,
Blake Mirabel
A.K.A. The Uncommon, dark beauty
If you are such a devoted Slytherin, then you would have noticed that I have quite the personality, and left it at that. One can not compare greatness to the blood-traitors and rabble of the earth, therefore it does not bother me what they think.

Were you hexed several times a day in your childhood or what? Why'd you turn so bonkers?
Bonkers? Excellent way to show your immense vocabulary.

Hey Bellatrix! I just wondering.... what is the ritual when becoming a death eater? Thanks.
I can't believe you'd think me witless enough to give out such information freely.

Hello, Bellatrix *ahem* how does it feel to know you killed the love of my life, Sirius Black? Do you feel any remorse about killing one of your own family?? (and don't give me that crap about how he was disowned) Have you ever considered psychological help, perhaps psychiatric help?? I think it'd do you some good (not that I'd forgive you for pushing my Baby Sirius through that horrible veil and making me cry for weeks) ...you never know... :p
Wonderful, and no, I don't. He's had it coming for years. Why everyone adored the prat, I'll never know.

You attended Hogwarts, right? If so, what was your favorite class and why?
Charms. It was always fun 'messing up,' if you catch my drift. I've always kept Professor Flitwick in a right fluster.

Bellatrix. What an engaging name! Personally. I would love to have the word trix (my favorite muggle cereal) in my name... Ahh, don't mind me, I'm a blubbering fool. Soo, tell me, what is your love life like? What year did you go to Hogwarts? What was your love life like when you went to Hogwarts? Were you in Slytherin? Who were you favorite teachers? Your least favorite? I'm ever so intrigued with you and want to learn more about you so please answer! Thank you.
You being a blubbering fool is most obvious, no need to point it out; and if you think that I'm about to tell you anything about my love life other than that you can rest assured that I have been with Rodolphus since 1979, then you are going to be in for a long wait. However, I will tell you that I attended Hogwarts from 1973 to 1980, and that yes, I was in Slytherin. I can't say I particularly cared for any of my teachers, but I've always loathed that bint McGonagall and of course Dumbledore.

Do you think Draco is sexy? I do!! hehe...What about Hagrid? :p
Draco is my nephew. ...and Hagrid? Is that the freakish half-breed that used to run the grounds at Hogwarts? I vaguely remember him, but anything HALF is disgusting in my opinion.

Dear Ms. Lestrange,
I have a couple questions for you about what it is like being one of the only female Death Eaters and about your sisters, Andromeda and Narcissa. I just have to say that you are by far the evilest witch/wizard I have seen, even more so than Lucius Malfoy. What is it like being the only female Death Eater? Also, what do you think of your sister Andromeda marrying a Muggle? And how close are you to your sister, Narcissa?
Once I put my mask on, gender matters not. It's the level of skill and willingness to do whatever it takes to create purity amongst our race that matters.I think Andromeda should die for what she's done to disgrace our family, and I think if you call her my sister again you might find yourself on the receiving end of a most painful Cruciatus.
...you mean were. Narcissa's gone. Don't bring her up again.

Many people in fanon seem to like pairing you with Sirius Black. How do you react to this? Oh, and just on a personal note, say you had to date on of the Maruaders, which one would you chose to date? Just a bit curious...
Pairing me with Sirius? Mother and father used to pair us for play dates. And as for dating the Marauders... whichever one I deemed worthy enough to curse.

When you were under the Imperius curse, what kind of thoughts went through your head. Did you hear Voldemort's voce and if so did you try to resist it?
Under the Imperius Curse? Hopefully you're not insinuating that I renounced my service to My Lord like Karkaroff, MacNair, and so many others did when they thought he had been defeated.

Hello Bella! I seem to think that you and Sirius would make such a great couple (besides the incest...)! Is there ANY attraction what-so-ever in your relationship with him...???
I seem to think that you're off your rocker.

Hello Bellatrix,
You've been portrayed as a very evil person in the books, but I've wondered about just how you became evil so here are some questions relating to that:
1) Why did you decide to follow You-Know-Who? Did anyone have an influence on this decision?
2) If you weren't a Slytherin, maybe instead say, a Gryffindor, would you have joined Vol- sorry, You-Know-Who?
3) Did you feel remorse for 'killing' your cousin Sirius Black?
I also have a question on your general life:
Who were your closest friends at Hogwarts? And was your marriage an arranged one, or did you marry for love?
That's all...
Thanks!!!
Kass.
1. Because he was right, and I decided to follow him on my own. No one pushed me into it, and I certainly wasn't under any sort of spell.
2. WEREN'T a Slytherin? You must be joking.
3. What do you think?
I was always surrounded by plenty of people who sought to be in the light that my family name brought, but they weren't my friends. I've never needed 'friends'. People that would do anything to answer to my beck and call were much more entertaining.

You killed Sirius, yes I know I stated the obvious, but that is not why I am here, I came here to ask, what kind of torture do you recommend other than the Crucio Curse? Especially for people who are extremely annoying and think they're all that! Please give me an advice! I love you even though you killed Sirius. You are the coolest! Bye!
...is that all anyone cares about? Merlin, he's dead. It's over. It's been over for four years.
People who think they're all what? Antecedents are necessary, remember that. But minor annoyances are quickly taken care of with knives. I've found that human flesh makes an interesting canvas.

Hey. So, I have a question for you. Did you and Sirius ever have fun together when you were little? Were you two childhood friends is what I'm saying. What made you go onto Voldemort's side? Was it worth it at all? Thanks for answering my questions.
Sirius and I used to see eye to eye when we were smaller and had quite the time practicing curses on the wandering Muggles that would pass by.

Was killing Sirius part of Voldemort's plan? Or was it something that you decided to do on the spot, Ms. Lestrange?
Getting the prophecy was Voldemort's plan. Whoever died as a result wasn't important.

Have you ever thought of leaving your life of crime and becoming a decent citizen of the wizarding world?
Life of Crime? I am NOT just some criminal. What I do is right, perhaps not accepted as it should be, but right.

if you had 3 wishes, what would your second wish be? *wee*
After wishing away all of the beings of less than pure blood, I'd probably wish for Narcissa back.

dear Mrs. Lestrange, I was just wondering... what tips can you suggest on an aspiring villainess? and another question. Was going over to the dark side worth it? (I'm a great fan of yours by the way).
There's nothing I can do for aspiring villainesses. Either you have it or you don't. And if you question going over to the 'Dark Side' as you so astutely put it, then I think that you definitely don't.

I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU KILLED SIRIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But you know what? I bet he's not really dead! I bet he's hiding somewhere, planning his revenge on you!!! What do you say to that?!!!
I bet he's dead somewhere, and isn't going to return.

Ms. Lestrange, Please tell me, where do you think Draco Malfoy is headed? Will he be the next Death Eater? Also, how is Moldie Voldie looking these days?
Draco Malfoy, if he does not gather his priorities, will be headed toward an untimely death fit for a Blood Traitor.

Hey Bellatrix!How was it to kill your cousin? I mean, he's a member of your family! Didn't you care?
He was in my way, did no one notice that?

Hello Mrs. Lestrange. Did you feel any remorse when you killed your own cousin, Sirius, or was it purely satisfaction? And during his childhood what was your relationship with him? Do you approve of your nephew Draco?
No, of course not. Sirius was a disgrace and I did him a great service by offing him. Draco is very close to heading down the same path as my dear cousin.

Bella, mind if I call you Bella? My question is:
I know your on the 'dark side' with all of their foolish little nonsense, but How close are you to Voldy and have you have sexual relations with him? Those long thin fingers must be good for something............
How dare you suggest that we would debase our relationship by engaging in such activities? I am a married woman, and though Rodolphus and I haven't spoken in quite some time, I would never do anything to shame him. As for those long, thin fingers, they're quite good for strangling Muggles.

Hello,What's it like to serve someone who believes in killing half-bloods and muggle-borns when he himself is a half-blood?
He has the right to hate them and to kill them, it isn't fair what his mother did to him by not procreating with a Wizard.
