[video] [Backdated to yesterday]

[Video shows Bellatrix, smirking a little at the camera, except she seems different than usual. For one thing, she's much better kempt; she looks less like a prison escapee and more like there's been actual thought and effort put into her appearence. She's wearing a military-style jacket over a long, expensive-looking green dress, her wand attached to her belt.]

I understand that this must be some sort of virus. Still, I cannot complain; I'd much prefer more viruses like this one.

[She smiles, baring her teeth.] My Lord is the current High Chancellor of England; I am the Head of Magical Law Enforcement. Look.

[She carries the book to a window; down far below, there seems to be some sort of army training exercise going on. Overseeing the whole thing is Voldemort, looking far less reptilian than usual.]

Isn't it cunning? He has the Muggleborn scum sent to camps where they learn to become soldiers and laborers. We're gaining quite the army; my Lord has plans to start conquests soon.

It's too bad this can only last a few days. I rather like this way of things.

((Basically: Voldemort took over the Ministry of Magic sometime in the 80s, and was never defeated by baby Harry Potter.))

Yes, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for being spared your wit.

[east-darkhorse.livejournal.com]

I can tell you are, witchy.

[madblackblood.livejournal.com]

Don't call me witchy.

[east-darkhorse.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[madblackblood.livejournal.com]

It's stupid.

[east-darkhorse.livejournal.com]

It's jsut a pet name.

[madblackblood.livejournal.com]

I don't care. Don't call me that.

[east-darkhorse.livejournal.com]

But I like to call you witchy, witchy.

[madblackblood.livejournal.com]

I don't care. Stop it.

[east-darkhorse.livejournal.com]

Make me.

[madblackblood.livejournal.com]

I could torture you until you go mad. I've done it before, it's quite fun.

[east-darkhorse.livejournal.com]

I'm already mad, witchy. Try something new.

[madblackblood.livejournal.com]

You ever been so mad that they have to have the hospital ward nurses wipe the drool from your chin?

[east-darkhorse.livejournal.com]

I've been mad enough that they needed to chain me to the bed, witchy. wars can get messy and pandemics are just as bad. But I always recover, my people always rise again.

[madblackblood.livejournal.com]

That doesn't make it any more pleasant when it starts.

[east-darkhorse.livejournal.com]

I'm strong enough to deal with it, pain desn't scare me.

[madblackblood.livejournal.com]

A lot of people say that.

[east-darkhorse.livejournal.com]

I'm not 'people', I'm a nation. No one suffered like we did.

[madblackblood.livejournal.com]

So it'd be a challenge, then?

[east-darkhorse.livejournal.com]

Ja, it is.

[madblackblood.livejournal.com]

Good to know.
