The Mermaid's Menagerie
Commander Simpson slid across the wet boards as the hurricane shoved the HMS Stoat leeward. Hands suddenly gripped his left arm, and he turned to help Mr Noble steady himself. The young seaman's face looked as pale as if he'd seen a ghost, or become one. Simpson clapped Noble on the shoulder and shouted over the howling winds: "It will be alright! Help secure the foresail!"

The Diary of Bellatrix Black - June 1968
***1 June 1968, Hogwarts*** There is a perfect wizard, and his name is Lord Voldemort. Last night was the slug’s last dinner party of the school year. I wore a pink dress that Mother bought for me last time she was in Paris. I let it stay pink this time.

The Diary of Bellatrix Black - May 1968
***1 May 1968, Hogsmeade*** There is a perfect wizard, and his name is Lord Voldemort. What an awful day. I woke to the sound of the door opening suddenly and angry footsteps approaching my bed. The phrase, “Magical law enforcement!” sprang to mind. I reached for my wand on the bedside table, but a woman’s hand wrapped around my wrist and pulled, jerking me out of bed unarmed. She slapped me.

The Diary of Bellatrix Black - April 1968
***2 April 1968, Hogwarts*** Sunny. During one of our breaks today, Sylvia and I were telling Charisma Bones and Doreen Vance about our spa days when Danielle Bagman and her Gryffindor gang came over. Danielle stretched her mouth into her least sincere “friendly” smile.

The Diary of Bellatrix Black - February 1968
***1 February 1968, Hogwarts*** Cold and windy. It couldn’t have been Helena. Dumbledore interrogated her yesterday morning. She and her collection of romance novels disappeared from the library before lunchtime. When Leonard walked me back from my detention to the Slytherin common room, he said that at dinner, Professor Dippet introduced a thin, severe-looking young witch as the new librarian, Madam Irma Pince.

The Diary of Bellatrix Black - January 1968
***1 January 1968, Letchworth*** Intermittent snow. Yesterday I went for tea with Mother at Grandfather Rosier’s, but his guests have already gone to their next social engagement. Apparently, Alfred Mulciber received a warm invitation for all his friends to visit his cousin Abraxas Malfoy.

The Diary of Bellatrix Black - December 1967
***1 December 1967, London*** Dear Bella, Pleased to receive your last. All are healthy, thank you; with the possible exception of my eldest, whom as you know was somehow accidentally Confunded when we last went to Diagon Alley, resulting in him playing gobstones with a half blood boy whose idiotic mother brought her filthy Muggle husband with her.

The Diary of Bellatrix Black - November 1967
***1 November 1967, Hogwarts*** After the Halloween Feast last night, Leonard and I went to the library together. I had a few books to return, and we both had essays to write for Professor Flitwick. Madam Shafiq bustled around as always, tending to the books and helping students with their research. Her eyes twinkled when she looked our way, and when she passed us by, she greeted us with an affectionate smile.

The Diary of Bellatrix Black - October 1967
***1 October 1967, Hogwarts*** Clear skies for Cissy’s birthday, but cold. Mother sent a care package for all of us, with presents for Cissy—a silver comb, brush, and hand mirror set. Very fitting, for her long, lovely straight hair. Daddy’s present was a single budding rose, which, when touched, suddenly bloomed and revealed a set of pearl earrings. I got her a copy of Cosmetic Potioneering: Fifty Five Recipes for Your Natural Beauty by Portia Helens.
