So who will get Bellatrix? v2

[Picko]

First version here

Ahh Bellatrix - if she dies it will be a moment rejoiced by HP fans everywhere, or so I'm inclined to believe.

There are many candidates to take her down, Neville, Harry, the Order. Perhaps Lord Voldemort will just get bored one day and finish her off to keep himself occupied. The point of this thread is to discuss all the possibilities.

The last post in version one was:

Oh, and ispep, I think the thought of DD torturing even Bella is terrifying. DD is much too wise and sagacious to deign to torture, no matter how horrible the person. I am sure that he recognizes that even the murder of someone awful is still a terrible thing to have to do, and that he would have enough respect and enough of a conscious to make it quick and to the point. Afterall, LV has always been known for his terrible torturous ways, and isn't that what puts people like DD and Harry above him?

Well first off I'm hoping that Neville is the one to get Bella, which means kill her OR bring her in alive, and this is possible as long as he continues to improve as a wizard like he did in OotP and the right situation comes along. As for possibilities, well it could be anybody, even Voldemort or another deatheater who kill her because of a failure on her part.

And I also agree that DD would never torture Bella or any other person, he'd always kill them off if the situation is hopeless, or bring them in alive when possible, like Moody.

I don't now if Neville would be smart enough to kill someone, but I hope he plays a major part.

The last time I checked being able to kill someone didn't require a particularly high IQ.

Really?!?
I'm so stupid...

Well the purpose of intellegence testing and IQ is to predict how well someone could learn new material, so if you have a good IQ you could learn new spells easier, which could increase your chance of killing someone. Unless you just beat her to death or something, that wouldn't require intellegence at all.

[Phoenixette]

I think Neville seeing Bellatrix in OotP will make him more eager to learn more defensive and offensive spells. I think with some positive imput from the new DADA teacher and Harry, he will try to take her on. I don't know if he will succeed. I personally think he will come fact to face with her and try to curse her and she will get to him first and knock him unconscious. Harry will witness it and get very angry and kill her. I think that will be his first kill. But I think that Neville is every bit capable of learning and being able to perform more difficult spells because he played a big part of the fight down in the Department of Mysteries. I think that boosted his confidence.

I would like Neville to get Bella and I feel he will be stronger because he will have a new wand which will suit him - his was broken in the DoM - and he will want revenge for what she done to his parents but will he be able to kill or harm her?

[DayVirgo]

Neville killing Bella for revenge? I don't think so. Harry tried to do that, but it didn't work out to well (remember, Bella also killed Sirius). I just don't see it as a part of Neville's character to kill her out of his hate for her. But, if he that inclined and did try to go after her, I don't think his intelligence is an issue. In fact, I believe that Neville is quite smart and lets his nerves get the better of him in most situations, with his lessons in Potions being at the most extreme (especially because of Snape . . . . imagine if Professor Sprout were to teach potions. He would be top in the class if she was there).

lol sorry that made me laugh.

anyway i stand by my origional post.

i think you-know-who will. im hoping she does something stupid...or lets someone slip through her grasp. we know he has a thing for punishing those who fail him. well i think it would be a lovely (in an ironic way) for her to be tortured by him until she is reduced to maddness.

remember dumbledore said there are worse things then death...

she would be incapassitated by the 1 man she serves
she would be forced to live the same fate as neville's parents

i think death is being too nice. she "killed" sirius and drove the longbottoms to maddness. & what better way to make her suffer then at the hand of the person she serves!

oh how i love good irony!

[xX_raindropXx]

The end of Bellatrix belongs to one person or thing actually, a Dementor.
But I believe either Neville will capture Bellatrix or he will destroy her.

[lil fall o rain]

I'm inclined to say Neville, because he has a grudge because she made his parents end up in the terminal insanity unit of St. Mungos. Or maybe if his parents are somehow cured (though unlikely)they will get her.

[saphirablack]

think about it neville killing bella is not only too obvious but neville killing bella would only be decending to her level i also belive that neville wouldn't be able to live with killing someone on his conscience

I also stand by my original post:

I rather hope that Bellatrix will impale herself on her own wand, so to speak. I also don't like the idea of Neville becoming a killer as in going after Bellatrix to seek revenge. I don't think Neville will really face Bellatrix again though, considering he already faced her once in OotP and the worst he was trying to do was stun her. So I don't think he has it in him to seek Bellatrix out for revenge. The same things goes for both Harry and Lupin, both of whom were wronged by Bellatrix when she killed Sirius. However, I don't believe they will seek vengeance on her either. But I do think it's possible that any one of the Order members could end up killing her in self-defence. But in any case, I hope she meets her just desserts.

[Derfel]

I think Harry Potter will kill Bellatrix for revenge. Muwahahahaha.

[outoftheveil]

I think its a possibility that Bellatrix will make an irreperable mistake and Voldemort will end up kiiling her...too far fetched? Ok...Harry'll do it.

I totally agree with you, i honestly dont want Neville to lower himself to a death eater's level, and i truly wish Bella dies in a painful way provoked by herself or even Voldemort, or even better, have her survive the war to see her beloved Voldy reduced to ashes and everything she dreamed of destroyed, and lives many years to suffer all her losses. ITs a afair punishment.

[Kimagine]

My feeling is that, since Azkaban is out -- LV is going to get the Dementors over to his side and, anyway, the place really wasn't much of a punishment for Bellatrix -- death is probably the only way she is going to go. I mean, she's a complete zealot, and doesn't seem to have problems killing anyone -- kids, family members, you name it. I think it will come down to "kill or be killed". Given this, who is most likely to do it?

Well, Neville has the hatred in him. Loveable as he is, it's not a stretch. One can't really blame him. And perhaps Neville's going to be, well, a major casualty in this war. We know that when he's really angry -- which it takes a lot to do, incidentally -- he's willing and eager to jump right into the fray, and isn't afraid to take lumps.

Should he do this with Bellatrix, he will likely not get through it with a just a bloody lip.

But would he be strong enough to take her down?

Well, he does know the forbidden curses. I wouldn't be surprised, but then, in some ways, I might.

[lethally_blonde]

The point made earlier about Harry trying to curse Bellatrix not working beccause it was just rightous anger may not apply to Nevile. He has had his turmoil brewing inside him for all his life. I think he will be the one to get Bellatrix or he will battle her well enough to destract her and she will be killed by another deatheaters curse.

not at all! thats what ive been saying all along! she'll mess up & he will get her. maybe not kill...but seriously damage. i would actually like to see her alive, just so she can suffer the rest of her life. cruel? yes. but look what shes done to other people.
