“TOM!!!!” Young Bellatrix Black screams, her eyes wide with tears welding up inside them. She does the first thing she thinks of, she runs to her mother’s spell book. Her love is in grave danger and she had to save him. She flips through the pages vigorously until she comes to a page that she hoped would help. Whipping out her wand from her pocket she began to sing the spell on the worn pages below her view.
“Eleka nahmen nahmen ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen! Eleka nahmen nahmen
ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen!” she sings trying to make out the words that were escaping her lips.
“Let his flesh not be torn. Let his blood leave no stain. If they beat him, let him feel no pain,” she continues with crystal tears now streaking her pale skin, “Let his bones never break and however they try to destroy him, let him never die! Let him never die!”
Her eyes again skim over the pages of the book. She knows she has no time to spare wallowing in self pity, so she continues on singing.
“Eleka nahmen nahmen ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen! Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka, eleka-” her frustration breaks her words as she throws the book fiercely against the wall.
“What good is this chanting?” she sings angrily, “I don’t even know what I’m reading! I don’t even know what trick I ought to try!”
Her body slides down the wall, becoming almost limp when it reaches the cold floor.
“Oh Tom, where are you?!” she yells as if he would actually answer, “Already dead or bleeding? One more disaster I can add to my generous supply?!”
She pulls her knees close and wraps her arms around them. Peering around the dark empty room, she finally comes to a realization that she had never met before.
“No good deed goes unpunished,” she sings with a tone of a lust for revenge in her voice, “no act of charity goes unresented. No good deed goes unpunished! That’s my new creed! My road of good intentions led where such roads always lead! No good deed….goes unpunished!!!”
Bellatrix slowly got up from her sitting position and walked towards the window. Nothing but pouring rain was shown through the glass. She thought of all those she tried to help, but her good intention came to no avail.
“Andromeda…my dear mother….Tom…” she sang in a quiet tone until she reached the last name and a blade of guilt stabbed her heart, “TOM!!!!”
She turns away from the window to see a small girl standing at the doorway. Her snow blonde hair fell to her shoulders perfectly as her blue gray eyes stared up into Bella’s dark brown ones.
“Bellatrix,” the young girl began, “Are you alright? I heard yelling.”
“Get out,” Bellatrix whispered to her youngest sister as she walked towards her motioning the door.
“But Bella, I-”
“GET OUT!!” Bella screamed slamming the door in the young girl’s face.
She begins to pace the room, sobbing breaths escaping from her crazed body.
“One question haunts and hurts,” she sings again, “too much, too much to mention! Was I really seeking good? Or just seeking attention? Is that all good deeds are when looked at with an ice cold eye? If that’s all good deeds are, maybe that’s the reason why!!”
Bella seized her pacing and fell to her knees next to her mother’s spell book. Tearing out each page like a deranged lunatic, she continued in her harmonic tone.
“No good deed goes unpunished! All helpful urges should be circumvented! No good deed goes unpunished! Sure I meant well, well look at what well meant did!alright enough! So be it! So be it then…”
She hesitates before singing again. Taking the torn book in her hands, Bellatrix throws it yet again at a glass mirror which is now shattered in pieces.
“Let all of them be agreed…I’m Wicked! Through and through! Since I could not succeed, Tom my dearest saving you! I promise no good deed will I attempt to do again! Ever again!”
Bellatrix crawled towards the shattered pieces of glass that lie on the floor. Looking at her broken reflection, she begins to sob out of pain and anger.
“No good deed will I do!…..AGAIN!!!”
