Note
Hiii ! So this fic will explore Bellatrix as a character. I tried to keep her as canon compliant as possible but 1. this is Bellatrix pre 15 years in Azkaban and 2. This is a story that goes away from canon/ allow a redemption arc so I hope the characterization don't feel too "off"ALSO this has not for a goal to romanticize death eaters or blood purists ideology and Bellatrix is not a good person, she is not written as such however she IS written as a character you can empathize with and that is able of change so there that <3ALSO ALSO english is not my first language and Im not really good at writing. I would honestly be surprised if anyone read this but if you do : sorry ? I tried my best i promise.
