Sore ini begitu indah..
Yahh,,
Aku hanya ingin menulis sedikit aja dari yang udah aku alami.
Yahh..
Karena aku merasa ga' akan terlalu kuat kalau terus memendamnya saja.
Hm,
Aku kini terjebak dalam permainanku sendiri..
Aku kini merasa dia begitu jauh..
Padahal , dulu waktu kita putus, aku yakin bahwa ga' lama lagi dy bakalan balik ma aku,
Aku yakin bahwa ia akan ngejar-ngejar aku lagi.
Tapi aku salah..
Kini berbalik..
Aku yg memohon-mohon pada dy..
Dan dia memang tidak menyukaiku lagi..
But dia membenciku
Aku hanya bisa menyasal..
Hmm..
Kata yg sudah sering kita dengar , namun agak sulit untuk mengekspresikannya lewat sebuah penjelasan.
Apakah itu antusiasme ?
Antusiasme adalah perasaan senang terhadap sesuatu sehingga kita merasa bersemangat dalam menjalani hal apapun itu.
Antusiasme cukup berdampak positif pada apapun yg kita kerjakan.
Antusiasme menjadikan kita lebih semangat mengerjakan sesuatu dan mengeksplor kemampuan kita dalam pekerjaan tersebut.
Hasilnya ?
Pasti sangat memuaskan, karena kita memaksimalkan kemampuan kita untuk menjadikan hal apapun itu agar menjadi klebih dari orang lain.
Antusiasme berlebihan ?
Owh.. Owh..
Kayknya jangan trerlalu deh..
Karena..
Misal nih..
Jika kamu melakukan percakapan dengan orang lain, atau bahkan temanmu, dan kamu menunjukkan antusiasme yang berlebihan ..
Bukan tidak mungkin orang terse4but akn merasa terganggu atau bahkan temanmu bilang
"Please deh.. jangan lebay !! "
Mungkin juga jika kamu terlalu antusias dalam suatu hal, namun kamu gagal ..
Kamu jadi down dan hopeless banget..
Jadi,
Antusiasme itu bagus, bahkan sangat membantu,
Tapi kita harus menempatkannya sesuai ukuran.
Salah satu anugerah dari tuhan adalah cinta, ia ada di dalam setiap diri manusia, karna itu ia bersifat universal. Ia berkaitan dengan aspek terdalam pada diri manusia karma itu akal kita takkan mampu memahami hakikatnya dengan kata lain, cinta hanya untuk dirasakan bukan untuk dipikirkan. Sulit juga untuk dipungkiri bahwa cinta adalah salah satu kebutuhan hidup.
Cinta adalah suatu tema yang menarik untuk di bicarakan, ditulis, dan disyairkn ataupun juga bisa difilmkan. Banyak para tokoh ulama, psikologi, dan para filusuf, ribuan untaian syair nyanyian telah dirangkaikan oleh para penyair dunia. Semua kalangan mencoba mendefinisikan apa itu cinta.
Dalam setiap hembusan nafas kita, dalam setiap sel darah kita, dalam setiap unsur yang terkandung dalam butiran tanah, terdapat cinta ilahi yang tidak kita sadari dengan rahmat-Nya Allah telah memberikan manisnya rasa gula lewat lidah kita, kin tetpi sayang kita sering melupakannya atau tidak mensyukurinya. Sepandai-pandai kita bersyukur tetp takkan memdai sebagai ungkapan rasa terima kasih dikrnakn terlalu besarnya nikmat yang diberikan oleh tuhan. Cinta insani ini bersumber dari cinta yang pertama. Cinta antara laki-laki dan perempuan adalah bagaian dari cinta ilahi. Apapun yang kita rasakan tentang cinta, dalam cara dan tingkat apapun merupakan bagian kecila dari cinta Ilahi. Tetapi kadang-kadang kekasih menjadi tabir antra cinta dengan realitas cinta sejati. suatu hari tabir itu akan terangkat dimana tujuan dan kekasih sejati akan muncul dalam dalam semua keagungan Tuhan.
Mari bicara tentang cinta. Cinta. Cin-Ta. CINTA. C-I-N-T-A. apa sih yang bisa diketahui oleh sekumpulan huruf yang dikeramatkan hampir semua manusia yang masuk dalam tahap suka dengan taraf yang lebih rumit, lebih komplek, lebih sophisticated? Apa sih cinta itu, atau yang lebih sering disebut dalam bahasa inggrisnya LOVE?
Menurut situs Wikipedia yang dijadikan banyak acuan orang orang untuk mencari arti dari istilah istilah tertentu atau sekedar mencari informasi, LOVE "represents a range of human emotions and experiences related to the senses of affection and sexual attraction.[1] The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction. This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states."
Fews….tuhkhan, bahkan diatas dibilang bahwa love itu sulit untuk diidntifikasikan. dan itu menghasilkan phenomena dimana istilah cinta atau love diartikan berbeda - beda antara individu. ada yang membuat definisi sendiri dan ada juga yang terjebak di dalam phrase yang sudah dibakukan secara umum seperti halnya cinta itu memberi tanpa mengharapkan sesuatu, cinta itu berkorban untuk seseorang agar dia bahagia, cinta itu pengertian antara dua individu, cinta itu ini dan itu, cinta itu bla bla bla, dan cinta itu…ya cinta…tidak bisa dideskripsikan. Untukku pribadi sih mungkin cuma bisa bilang bahwa cinta itu sederhana, tapi luar biasa.
# Apakah kamu sudah menemikan cinta pertama & cinta sejatimu????
Kau kan slalu tersimpan di Hatiku
Meski ragamu tak dapat ku miliki
Jiwaku ‘kan slalu bersamamu
Meski kau tercipta bukan untukku
Tuhan berikan aku hidup satu kali lagi
Hanya untuk bersamanya
Ku mencintainya sungguh mencintainya
Rasa ini sungguh tak wajar
Namun ku ingin tetap bersama dia
Untuk selamanya
Mengapa cinta ini terlarang
Saat ku yakini kaulah milikku
Mengapa cinta kita tak bisa bersatu
Saat ku yakin tak ada cinta selain dirimu
Hmmm...

Twilight adalah sebuah seri novel karya Stephenie Meyer. Seri ini menggambarkan tentang tokoh utamanya, yaitu Isabella "Bella" Swan, seorang remaja yang pindah ke kota Forks, Washington yang kehidupannya berubah ketika ia bertemu dengan Edward Cullen, seorang vampir 'vegetarian'(tidak minum darah manusia). Seluruh isi seri Twilight itu diceritakan melalui sudut pandang Bella Swan dengan pengecualian epilognya Eclipse dan novel Breaking Dawn.
Seri Twilight itu terdiri atas empat novel, yaitu 'Twilight', 'New Moon', 'Eclipse' dan 'Breaking Dawn'. Adapun ' Midnight Sun' adalah sebuah cerita paralel dari Twilight yang diceritakan melalui sudut pandang Edward Cullen.
Bella Swan baru saja pindah dari Phoenix, Arizona yang mayoritas bercuaca panas ke Forks, Washington yang mayoritas cuacanya hujan untuk tinggal bersama ayahnya, Charlie, setelah ibunya, Renée, menikah dan tinggal bersama suami barunya, Phil, seorang pemain bisbol. Setelah pindah ke Forks, Bella akhirnya tertarik pada seorang pemuda misterius yang tampan, yang merupakan teman sekelasnya di pelajaran Biologi, Edward Cullen, yang ternyata merupakan seorang vampir vegetarian (vampir yang meminum darah hewan, bukan manusia). Edward mempunyai kemampuan seperti halnya vampir yang lain (kuat, cepat, apabila terkena matahari langsung maka tubuhnya berkilauan dan pada saat tertentu matanya dapat berubah warna)selain itu edward juga mempunyai sebuah bakat untuk dapat membaca pikiran orang lain. Pada awalnya, Edward berusaha menjauhi Bella karena Edward selalu merasa tergoda jika menghirup aroma darah Bella. Akan tetapi lama kelamaan akhirnya Edward dapat mengatasi masalah tersebut dan kemudian mereka pun jatuh cinta satu sama lain, yang membuat sekolah membicarakan mereka. Suatu ketika, Bella diajak untuk melihat keluarga Cullen bermain bisbol. Tanpa disangka, tiba-tiba datanglah sekelompok vampir nomaden yang terdiri dari James (vampir dengan bakat melacak), Victoria (vampir dengan insting melarikan diri yang luar biasa hebat dan merupakan pasangan dari James), serta Lauren. Begitu bertemu dengan Bella, James sudah mulai mengincar darah Bella. Semua anggota keluarga Cullen bersatu untuk menyelamatkan Bella. Bella melarikan diri ke Phoenix, Arizona bersama Alice (vampir dengan bakat melihat masa depan) dan Jasper (vampir dengan bakat mengendalikan perasaan di sekitarnya dan merupakan pasangan dari Alice). Saat kabur ke Phoenix, Bella dijebak oleh James. Untungnya Edward dan keluarganya segera menyadari hilangnya Bella dan segera bergegas untuk pergi menyelamatkan Bella. Edward tiba tepat pada waktunya dan berhasil menyelamatkan Bella, setelah itu mereka segera kembali ke Forks dan mengikuti acara prom yang diselenggrakan oleh sekolah mereka.
Edward dan keluarganya meninggalkan Forks karena Edward percaya bahwa mereka dapat menempatkan Bella dalam bahaya. Bella jatuh dalam depresi berat, sampai akhirnya ia menemukan sahabat baru yang merupakan seorang werewolf, Jacob Black. Jacob dan werewolf lain dari sukunya harus melindungi Bella dari Victoria, vampir yang berusaha membalas dendam akibat kematian pasangannya, James, dengan berusaha membunuh Bella, yang merupakan pasangan Edward Cullen yang telah membunuh pasangannya. Akibat suatu kesalah pahaman, Edward menyangka Bella sudah meninggal karena bunuh diri. Edward pun memutuskan untuk menyusul Bella dengan meminta sekeluarga vampir senior di Volterra, Italy, tapi kemudian dihentikan oleh Bella dan Alice yang menyusul Edward ke Volterra, Italy. Mereka bertemu dengan Klan Volturi dan mereka segara dibebaskan untuk pergi asalkan Bella harus menjadi vampir suatu saat nanti. Bella dan Edward bertemu kembali, dan Keluarga Cullen kembali ke Forks.
Sang vampir Victoria telah membuat suatu pasukan "vampir baru" untuk melawan Keluarga Cullen dan membunuh Bella. Sementara itu, Bella harus memilih antara hubungannya dengan Edward atau persahabatannya dengan Jacob. Keluarga vampir Edward dan Geng werewolf Jacob bekerja sama dan sukses membasmi Victoria beserta pasukkannya. Akhirnya, Bella memilih Edward dibandingkan Jacob. Jacob pun marah mengetahui pilihan Bella yang memutuskan untuk menjadi vampir. Namun akhirnya ia merelakan hubungan Edward dengan Bella. Jacob dan yang lainnya tidak diketahui lanjutannya lagi.
Bella dan Edward menikah, tapi bulan madu mereka terpotong setelah Bella mengetahui bahwa dirinya hamil. Kehamilannya berjalan amat cepat dan membuat Bella menjadi lemah. Ia hampir meninggal saat melahirkan putrinya yang setengah manusia dan setengah vampir, Renesmee, tetapi Edward menyuntikkan Bella dengan racunnya agar tetap hidup dan berubah menjadi vampir. Seorang vampir dari klan lain melihat Renesmee dan menyangkanya sebagai "immortal child"--anak yang telah digigit oleh vampir, dimana melawan pereturan vampir, kemudian ia menginformasikannya kepada Klan Volturi. Keluarga Cullen mengumpulkan vampir-vampir yang dapat menjadi saksi bahwa Reneesme bukan "immortal child". Keluarga Cullen dan para saksi mata berhasil meyakinkan para Volturi bahwa Renesmee bukan merupakan ancaman, dan mereka hidup tenteram.

Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black) (1951 - 2 May 1998) also known as Bella, was a pure-blood witch and Death Eater who was fanatically loyal to Lord Voldemort. She was one of the few females in the group, as well as among the most dangerous. At the end of the First Wizarding War, Bellatrix and her husband, Rodolphus Lestrange, tortured Aurors Alice and Frank Longbottom to the point of insanity, along with fellow Death Eaters Rabastan Lestrange and Barty Crouch Jr. Bellatrix was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban for the crime, but escaped in the 1996 mass break-out. She participated in several battles of the Second Wizarding War, making it a particular goal to kill any relatives who were members of the Order of the Phoenix, including her cousin Sirius Black and niece Nymphadora Tonks. Bellatrix's life of violence and malice was eventually ended when she was killed by Molly Weasley during the Battle of Hogwarts.
Bellatrix was born in 1951 to Cygnus and Druella Black, who raised her to prize her pure-blood heritage. She was the oldest sister to Andromeda and Narcissa[1], though Bellatrix cut off contact with the former when Andromeda married Muggle-born wizard Ted Tonks and was disowned, as she told Lord Voldemort in 1997 that neither she nor Narcissa had "set eyes on our sister since she married the Mudblood"[2]. Bellatrix also held her cousin Sirius Black in contempt for being a Gryffindor and a "blood traitor".
Bellatrix attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into the Slytherin House. She eventually married Rodolphus Lestrange — a fellow pure-blood, as was expected of her — and when Lord Voldemort first rose to power, she and her husband joined the Death Eaters. Unlike her sisters, Bellatrix displayed no outward affection for her husband whatsoever, never even mentioning him in conversation. Her true love was Voldemort[3], who gave her some training in the Dark Arts, which contributed to her incredible talent as a duelist.[4]
Bellatrix and Rodolphus fought in the First Wizarding War on the side of Voldemort. After the Dark Lord's fall in 1981, Bellatrix and a group of Death Eaters, including her husband, brother-in-law and Barty Crouch Jr., captured Aurors and Order of the Phoenix members Alice and Frank Longbottom. Bellatrix and her associates used the Cruciatus Curse to torture them into insanity, a crime for which they were tried before the Wizengamot and sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban. Bellatrix was considered to be so high security that she was chained to the walls of her cell once entering it for the first time. Unlike many other Death Eaters, Bellatrix not only did not attempt to lie about her loyalty — she proudly proclaimed that she was loyal to the Dark Lord and that she would wait for his return. During her trial, Bellatrix was chained to a chair upon which she sat as if it were a throne, so proud was she to be a servant of Voldemort.[5] She would later describe herself as his "most loyal servant".[4]
When Voldemort returned in 1995, he stated that the Lestranges were among the most faithful members of his inner circle. In January of 1996, Bellatrix was one of the many Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban and rejoined Voldemort when the Dementors defected to the Dark Lord.[4]
Later that year, Bellatrix participated in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in a bid to steal a prophecy regarding Harry Potter and Voldemort, as second-in-command to Lucius Malfoy. She became enraged when Harry spoke Voldemort's name and told her that he was a half-blood. Later, she briefly tortured Neville Longbottom with the Cruciatus Curse to try to coerce Harry into handing over the prophecy. It was clear that, given the chance, she would have enjoyed further torturing Neville to further punish his parents.
When the Order of the Phoenix arrived, Bellatrix dueled and defeated her niece, Nymphadora Tonks, and then began fighting her cousin, Sirius Black, who taunted her as they dueled. She knocked him through a veiled stone arch in the Death Chamber, killing him. She then defeated Kingsley Shacklebolt in a duel and deflected a spell from Albus Dumbledore, fleeing. She was pursued by Harry, whom she taunted over his godfather's death. Harry was enraged to the point that he attempted the Cruciatus Curse on her. He only succeeded in knocking her down, however. She then shouted at him that one had to mean it to use the Unforgivable Curses.
Voldemort then arrived, and he and Dumbledore began to duel in the Ministry Atrium. Bellatrix was pinned to the floor by the statue through a spell of Dumbledore's while her master fought. After trying to possess Harry and being spotted by Ministry officials, Voldemort fled, taking Bellatrix with him as he Disapparated.[4]
In July of 1996, Bellatrix accompanied her sister Narcissa Malfoy to the house of Severus Snape at Spinner's End, though reluctantly. Once there, Bellatrix interrogated Snape and voiced her distrust of him. Narcissa, however, proceeded to beg Snape to look after her son Draco's welfare while he attended Hogwarts and tried to fulfill Voldemort's command that he kill Albus Dumbledore. Snape shocked Bellatrix by asking her to bind him and Narcissa with an Unbreakable Vow to assist Draco. Bellatrix also assisted her nephew in his task by teaching him Occlumency, and told her sister that she should be proud, instead of worried, that her son was not "shrinking away from his duty".[6]
A year later, Bellatrix was living with Narcissa at Malfoy Manor so that she could be closer to Voldemort. She was the only resident of the manor that was actually pleased that he was staying there. When Voldemort humiliated the Malfoys by bringing up their relative Nymphadora Tonks' marriage to werewolf Remus Lupin, Bellatrix eagerly told her master that she would "prune her family tree". When the Death Eaters subsequently attacked the Order of the Phoenix while they were removing Harry Potter from his relatives' home, Bellatrix and her husband targeted Tonks. Rodolphus was injured in the pursuit, and Tonks escaped.
Soon afterwards, a copy of the Sword of Gryffindor was secured in Bellatrix's family vault at Gringotts Wizarding Bank on Voldemort's orders, but nobody knew at the time it was merely a copy. Thus, when in 1998 Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger were captured by Snatchers and brought to the Manor with the real sword, Bellatrix panicked. She accidentally revealed that her vault also contained another of Voldemort's Horcruxes: Helga Hufflepuff's Cup. Bellatrix interrogated Hermione and tortured her with the Cruciatus Curse, but Hermione managed to lie, claiming it was only a copy.[2]
Bellatrix also threatened Hermione with a short knife, after Harry and Ron escaped from the cellar with the assistance of Dobby and Ron disarmed her. While holding the knife to an unconscious Hermione's throat, Bellatrix demanded that the boys drop their wands, and then pressed her Dark Mark, calling Voldemort. However, Dobby reappeared and caused the chandelier to fall from above Bellatrix's head, prompting her to release Hermione and jump out of the way. As the house-elf Disapparated with Harry, Bellatrix threw the knife at him, striking Dobby through the chest and killing him. She and her relatives were severely punished by Voldemort for allowing Harry to escape. Bellatrix also lost her wand in the skirmish.
Not long afterwards, Hermione used some of Bellatrix's hair, which had fallen onto her clothes while Bellatrix held her hostage, to create Polyjuice Potion to impersonate Bellatrix. This made it possible for her, Harry and Ron to steal the Horcrux from the Lestranges' vault.[2]
Bellatrix was a fanatically devoted Death Eater, whose lifetime of wickedness and debauchery culminated in the murder of Nymphadora Tonks, her estranged sister's daughter, during the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998[3]. When Voldemort called a temporary retreat, waiting for Harry Potter to turn himself in, Bellatrix waited by his side; she offered her help when he was dazed after using the Killing Curse on Harry, but was coldly rebuffed. When the Death Eaters marched back to Hogwarts with a "dead" Harry, she laughed at Minerva McGonagall's cry of pain.
When the battle resumed, Bellatrix fought Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood all at once, just as her master fought three by himself. Her reckless and wanton use of threats ultimately caused her death. After nearly hitting Ginny with a Killing Curse, she herself was killed by Ginny's mother Molly, who Bellatrix did not take seriously; instead, she taunted Molly over the death of her son Fred earlier in battle and laughed at her. This allowed Molly to hit Bellatrix over the heart, killing her. After she toppled to the ground, Voldemort was enraged and turned on Molly, which led to Harry Potter revealing himself to be alive, for the final showdown.[2]
Bellatrix Lestrange was described as a tall, beautiful woman with long, thick, shining black hair. She had thin lips, dark, heavy-lidded eyes, and a strong jaw. She had the classic 'great good looks' and arrogant bearing common for members of the House of Black, but like her cousin Sirius, time in Azkaban took a toll on her appearance. After her lengthy imprisonment, she was described as having a gaunt and skull-like face.[4] Bellatrix was noted to physically resemble her cousin Sirius and her sister Andromeda[2].
Bellatrix was an intensely sadistic witch who at certain points seems mentally unbalanced; for instance, she once killed a fox because she was paranoid it might be an Auror in disguise.[6] Bellatrix could be easily distracted and had a fierce and dangerous temper, a trait that she shared with her cousin Sirius and her aunt Walburga.
She was fanatically devoted to Voldemort, believing that she proved her loyalty by her time in Azkaban, which seems to have furthered her mental decline. She was one of Voldemort's cruelest Death Eaters, always eager to inflict the Cruciatus Curse on enemies, and believed she was his most trusted and loyal follower; indeed, Harry believed that Bellatrix was as "mad as her master". Bellatrix was a steadfast believer in the supremacy of blood purity, as was taught to her by her family, and seemed particularly eager to kill her own family members if they violated this ideology.[4]
Bellatrix was a natural leader and took charge in tricky situations, such as during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and the Battle of Malfoy Manor. Another mark of her decisiveness and ruthlessness, Bellatrix took no unnecessary prisoners, preferring to kill them instead, as she planned to do with a group of Snatchers who attempted to defy her in Malfoy Manor in 1998.[2]
Bellatrix was a very talented and powerful witch, an expert in the Dark Arts, an extremely skilled duelist, and an Occlumens. Her incredible skill was proven by her many victories over other talented wizards and witches.
Dark Arts Mastery: Bellatrix claimed to have been trained in the Dark Arts by Voldemort himself, and displayed a particular proficiency with, and affinity for, the Cruciatus Curse. She boasted to have knowledge of Dark spells that few could comprehend the power of[4]; a claim supported by her status as Voldemort's "best lieutenant". Like her master, Bellatrix was known to cast the Killing Curse with particular skill and with no regard for the life she wished to exstinguish.[6][2]
Expert Duelist: Bellatrix defeated Aurors Nymphadora Tonks and Kingsley Shacklebolt in duels during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, as well as her cousin Sirius, and was the only Death Eater to deflect a bolt from Albus Dumbledore himself, allowing her to escape the renowned wizard[4]. She also quickly and single-handedly defeated four Snatchers and Fenrir Greyback, and later killed her niece in battle. Just before her death, Bellatrix dueled Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley all at once and was described as being equal in power to all three of the talented if inexperienced witches. It is likely that her death at the hands of Molly Weasley was due to her underestimating the witch, who was fueled by grief over the murder of her son, and the fact that Harry Potter's sacrifice of himself gave some protection to the soldiers on his side.[2] In addition, despite her years of captivity within Azkaban, Bellatrix displayed incredible reflexes that outmatched the much younger and physically fit Harry Potter; she was able to conjure a Shield Charm and deflect his own spell back at him the moment he cast it.[4]
Occlumency/Legilimency Expert: Bellatrix trained her nephew Draco Malfoy in Occlumency as part of his mission to kill Dumbledore, and thus was likely a Legilimens as well.[6]
Lord Voldemort was unquestionably the most important person in Bellatrix's life. She was both in love with him and sexually attracted to him[3]; she is described as regarding him with "worshipful fascination" and speaking to him as if to a lover[2]. He did not reciprocate, as Voldemort did not know love at all, but he considered Bellatrix among his most valuable and loyal Death Eaters. He trained her in the Dark Arts and when she was killed by Molly Weasley in the final battle, Voldemort was furious. Unlike many other Death Eaters, Bellatrix never attempted to deny her loyalties when Voldemort fell in 1981, instead proudly claiming that she was his most loyal and trusted servant and that he would rise again[5].
Bellatrix was slavishly devoted to Voldemort and flew into a mad rage if she ever felt he was being insulted, such as when she screamed at Harry Potter for using his name[4]. When he praised her in Malfoy Manor in 1997, Bellatrix's face "flooded with colour" and "her eyes welled with tears of delight". Voldemort then turned this into humiliating her and the Malfoys for being related to werewolf Remus Lupin by marriage, which seemed to make Bellatrix even more determined to kill her niece, Nymphadora Tonks. She was also intensely afraid of Voldemort's displeasure, begging him for forgiveness when the prophecy he sought was smashed in 1996 and screaming at her brother-in-law not to call him when she saw that Godric Gryffindor's Sword was not where Voldemort had instructed her to ensure it was.
In marrying Rodolphus Lestrange, Bellatrix made a "respectable pure-blood marriage"[4], as was expected of her. There is no indication that her relationship with her husband went beyond this, as Bellatrix loved Voldemort and never expressed any affection or concern for her husband. They were both Death Eaters and seemed to work together in this role, as Rodolphus tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom with his wife, as well as his brother and Barty Crouch Jr in 1981[5], and was paired with Bellatrix during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries[4]. He was also by her side during the Battle over Little Whinging, as Nymphadora Tonks mentioned cursing him and being pursued by Bellatrix[2]. Rodolphus's feelings for his wife are unknown.
The Lestranges apparently never had any children, as Bellatrix once told her sister that if she had sons, she would "be glad to give them up to the service of the Dark Lord!"[6] Also, no children appear beneath Bellatrix and Rodolphus's names on the Black family tapestry.
Bellatrix took the pure-blood values of her family very seriously, as indicated by her proper marriage and belief in Death Eater ideology. She seems to have had a fairly close and affectionate relationship with her younger sister, Narcissa, whom she called "Cissy". Despite distrusting Severus Snape and trying to persuade her sister otherwise, Bellatrix accompanied her to go see him to request that he help Draco in 1996. Narcissa and Bellatrix occasionally clashed over the former's protectiveness towards her son; Bellatrix argued that Narcissa should be proud that her son was a Death Eater. She seemed quite indifferent to the dangers her nephew would face, though she did train him in Occlumency to aid him in his mission.[6]
On the other hand, Bellatrix hated her "blood traitor" relatives. After her sister Andromeda married a Muggle-born and was disowned, Bellatrix never saw her again[2]. She loathed her "dear cousin" Sirius Black; a mutual feeling. The two taunted each other as they dueled during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, and after killing him, Bellatrix mocked Harry Potter about it.[4] Bellatrix also eagerly attacked her niece, Nymphadora Tonks, on at least three occasions — this was likely for a combination of reasons, including Tonks' being a half-blood, an Auror and member of the Order of the Phoenix, and Voldemort's comments to her about "pruning her family tree". Bellatrix eventually killed Tonks.
Like many members of the House of Black, Bellatrix's name is derived from that of a star. Bellatrix is the third brightest star in the constellation Orion; it is also known as the Amazon Star, and means "female warrior" in Latin. This is presumably an allusion to Bellatrix Lestrange being among the most dangerously skilled Death Eaters.
