The Black Rose

Disclaimer~I don't own anything, don't sue me. You won't get anything; I'm broke. I'm not making anything, so why should you?

                     

I am a Black.  A pureblood witch of a family that can trace its lineage back to the days when Hogwarts was founded.

And I couldn't be prouder.  I have been taught all my life that Blacks are superior.  Superior to Mudbloods, superior to other Purebloods, and most of all, far superior to Muggles.  And now, teetering on the knife's edge between childhood and adulthood, I know this to be true.

To be a Black is to be elite.  We are not the Malfoys who get caught and charm their way out.  We are as sly as Salazar's silver serpent, and as clever.  We are not the Parkinsons or the Notts who sit by and watch things happen, and claim they were in the midst of them.  We are the crafty spiders who spin their webs and wait.  We are not Crabbe or Goyle, who have no ability but that of a bodyguard.  We are the elite.

Narcissa lives up to our noble name as one of the Black women of old.  Those who supported the cause through their husbands. They did not act but instead ruled the manor with a demeanour befitting a queen.  But I think the Mudblood contamination has gone on long enough; it is time for the women to take part.

I believe Andromeda is not entirely devoted to the cause.  She was Sorted into Ravenclaw, which was acceptable; not nearly as blasphemous as Gryffindor or Hufflepuff.  But although she doesn't openly display it, I believe she sympathises with Sirius.

Sirius was always defiant, even before he was Sorted into Gryffindor, the House of reckless idiots.  Once there he took up with Potter, from a long line of reckless idiots.  Blood traitors and disgraces to Wizarding kind! 

But Regulus is the proper son; Sorted into Slytherin, he's Aunt's little darling.  Devoted to the cause, but not nearly enough in my opinion.

Lucius was talking about joining the Death Eaters when he leaves school.  I think I shall join him; after all it is time for the women to get involved as I so often say.  I shall have to tell Severus, he was complaining about Potter just the other day...

               

A/N~ This plunny bit me in algebra. Surprise, suprise, it's always the most boring class. Wonder why... Anyways, thanks to the loverly Gerry, and the equally loverly dancinginmagic. Also thanks to Gov, even if he didn't help with this. He gets hugs and thanks anyways! I was given the idea a *long* time ago by a piece of young Bellatrix art by the incredibly talented AgiVega, which is titled "The Black Rose" on Sugarquill and "Bellatrix Black" on PhoenixSong.
