This was amazing Crissie! I loved it!

A very interesting story that seems to start a longer one.
You characterised everybody well. Adding in little details about what had happened without stating it. Like how Hermione referred to the fact that they're potentially not friends anymore. It adds depth to the characters and therefore the story.
The scenes are clear and all link with each other.
Good SPAG from what I could tell.

This is an intriguing premise! Given that Bellatrix became slavishly devoted to Voldemort, it makes sense that after his demise she would need to find a new leader to devote herself to. And Voldemort would be a tough act to follow... no wonder she ends up falling in with the devil himself!

I'm a bit perplexed by what this line means: "she believed wizards to be more humane than beings." Wizards are themselves beings, so the contrast does not make sense to me. Can you clarify?

I like the touch of humanity you give Bellatrix in allowing her to linger for a moment over her feelings and memories about her old cell. It adds a bit of depth that we might not get otherwise, a reminder that it's not for no reason that Bellatrix is the way she is. The way you describe her attack on the guard, she seems to have become a something rather akin to a Dementor herself! I have a feeling that at some point, her brash confidence in her invincibility will have to be shaken.

I appreciated the nod to "the potential fate of the world" being on the shoulders of the Golden Trio once again (being "Chosen" isn't necessarily a good thing...) but in the same breath Harry focuses mainly on seeing Hermione through this okay. I smiled at the line about Harry wanting "to pretend that his fame was fading over the years." The interaction with Crane was definitely odd; I wonder how he was able to pick up so much about Bellatrix so quickly, since you mentioned that the prisoners scattered, and how he sensed that aura and knew what it was. I know this is a later chapter, so am I possibly missing something about Crane? It just seems rather convenient that he would know or have guessed so much and be able and willing to share it with the Aurors so readily.

Anyway, this is a really interesting idea, and I wish you luck with the rest of your story!

Ok, I am in love with your succubus!Bellatrix. Bellatrix always did strike me as a demon-like character, so turning her into a succubus just seems like the perfect next logical step to elevate her character an add an interesting element to a story.

Also, the idea of her being stuck in hell while she waits for her next assignment made me giggle. Serves her right, doesn’t it? You make a deal with the devil, it’s not all sunshine and roses… or, as the case may be, breaking prisoners out of Azkaban.

I love Ron’s line, “I thought Mr. Crane had lost his gobstones.” That is hilarious, and I’ve never read that expression before, but it works so well. I also enjoyed the split-POV that you wrote this in. It added an interesting dynamic to be able to see the Auror’s reaction to Bella’s misdeeds, as well as some suspense: will they catch her? Will they manage to round up the escaped prisoners before disaster strikes? It makes me wonder what will happen next.

Great story! It was a lot of fun to read. :)

Interesting start

This is exactly how I imagine Bellatrix had she survived the war: In denial of what happened to Voldemort, harboring false hope he will come for her, all while her mind drifts further and further into insanity by the Dementor's influence.

Her fighty personality never left, either, and I can easily see her attacking a guard with a fork and continue to put up a struggle despite her failing physical strength. Hell, I wouldn't put it past her if she made a shiv with the end of the spoon to try another go with a guard in the future.

In the end, our won company is the best medicine, right? Well, it is going to have to be Bellatrix's now, isn't it?

I love the title of this series of one-shots, even more so because it isn't used as a figure of speech! Bellatrix as a daughter of the Devil is an interesting and terrifying concept, and she certainly makes good use of it!

I like

First off, great title! I'm not sure if you were going for a spin on "misery loves company" but I really like it. It's eerie and intriguing.
Anyway, onto the actual story: I'm admittedly not the biggest fan of Bellatrix but I felt bad for her here. You captured her misery and despair very well, as well as the monotony of living in prison and experiencing the same thing day in and day out. The nod to Hermione being Minister and removing the Dementors was lovely.
I was glad you added in some dialogue to keep the piece from feeling too prose-heavy, and it was so creepy that she was actually having a conversation with HERSELF! I could totally see that happening, though. Especially with her being so weak and frail.
I think I might have liked just a bit more "showing," rather than "telling," because you spent a lot of time telling the reader about things that happened rather than showing them, but overall I think this is a strong start to a longer story, and Bellatrix fans would most likely enjoy this. Good job, Crissie!

Good two chapters
