On her way back to the Slytherin common room.

*mutters to herself about killing Regulus, making him pay, dismembering him, decapitating him, and all around trying to cause him as much physical pain as possible*

*her right arm now has "Failure" spelled out in burn marks, like a branding iron type thing*

*exiting the common room as he bumps into her*

Bella.. you look like you jut witnessed the Muggle That Got Away. What happened?

[bellatrix_bites]

*scowls*

Nothing, nothing has happened yet. Compared to what's going down next, at least.

[purebloodelite]

*easily* and what is going down next, exactly?

[bellatrix_bites]

*calmly, half kidding half serious* I'm going to murder Regulus.

[vancealot]

Oh, how pretty! I can make it sparkle, if you like.

[purebloodelite]

*venomously* Some day you will learn when to hold your tongue, Vance.

[vancealot]

*sweet smile* Some day, you Slytherins will stop trying to ruin other people's lives.

...yes, I doubt it, too.

[purebloodelite]

Oh, really? Please remind me: as a Slytherin, whose life have I attempted to ruin?

*on his way to the Ravenclaw dorm, after visiting Marlene*

*guiltily, upon spotting her*

Bellatrix?

What's wrong?

[bellatrix_bites]

*looks up, ready to hurt someone*

*softens her gaze when she see's it's Lionel*

Regulus. Regulus is going to suffer for this.

*yanks up her right sleeve to give him a good look at the brand*

For this.

[hunting_realism]

Oh bugger fuck, that's an ugly burn. What happened? Why did he do that? What did he do?

[bellatrix_bites]

*bites her lip 'til she draws blood*

He didn't do this, The Dark Lord did. Regulus failed at a task I sent him to do, and I was the only one around to take the beating because Regulus is a little girl and disappeared. So, now I'm going to make him pay, for this *moves her right arm*, for making me look bad, and for leaving. *calmly* He's as good as dead.

[frosted_eyelash]

Bella? What happened to you?

[bellatrix_bites]

*grinds her teeth* I got into a bit of trouble is all. *lifts sleeve* Can you make this go away?

[frosted_eyelash]

*frowns* That's a regular burn, yes? *pulls out a salve from her bag* Here, put this on it.

[bellatrix_bites]

It's a normal burn, but the iron was heated in a Salamnder's fire so I suspect it's pretty deep. *takes the salve and covers the burn entirely*

*takes in the pain without showing it on her face at all*
