"How could you choose him over me, Trixie?" Rita sobbed, the question raw with pain. "Over us?"
"I didn't choose him, Rita!" Bellatrix pleaded, her voice cracking. "I'm trying to save us all! You have to understand! I’m offering you a way out!”
"Understand what? That you’ll become a monster?" Rita screamed, tears streaming down her face. "That you're willing to sacrifice everything for a madman's cause?"
Bellatrix's control snapped. "Maybe if you weren't such a half-blood clinging to mud you’d understand!" she spat, the words laced with venom.
Bellatrix's eyes widened in horror as she realized what she'd said as her hand flew to her mouth “Rita, I-“
Rita's face crumpled, her body shaking with sobs. "GET OUT!" Rita screamed, her voice filled with a fury born of betrayal that it cut Bellatrix’s heart "Get out! Get out of my life! I never want to see you again!"
