Bellatrix's Masterpiece

Bellatrix enjoyed art. It had been one of the few things she had actually wanted to take with her and continue as she grew up.

The beautiful sky blue, a rich blood red and a deep royal purple together with an envious green and cheerful yellow in a flower with the barest traces of pink in attempt to recreate a masterpiece.

She could not though.

The masterpiece of her thoughts lived, breathed and was so full of life she had managed to carve away Bellatrix's insanity slowly and surely through firm rigidness that slowly melded and shaped itself to whatever was necessary at that moment.

It had been a long process and Bellatrix had hated her for it at first.

Until she saw the pain it brought her masterpiece to see her hatred.

Her masterpiece, her Minerva.

Bellatrix did not want to hurt her any more than she already had.
