Chapter 1- 'Hide and Seek'

To Tonks, It was just an ordinary day... but to Bellatrix it was far from ordinary. She had been planning her 'Visit' for a while...Gathering intelligence about her sister's schedule and what have you... Andromeda had left the house with her husband about an hour ago...Leaving, Poor-little... Nymphadora on her own for a whole week. 'Plenty of time to play', she thought smirking into the darkness. The house stood before her, a solid black mass in the fading light, daring her to approach. She strode through the garden lost in thoughts of what the next week could...would...hold, but failed to notice the very wet, muddy garden pond just a few feet ahead of her.

Twenty seconds later there was a Splash and what sounded like a scream from outside. Tonks jumped from her spot in the armchair and peered through the window. The lights from inside did nothing to illuminate the garden, nothing but her own eyes reflected in the glass stared back at her. After a few moments she was satisfied that it must have been 'a cat or something' and made her way back to across the room. All she planned to do for the next week was sit back, relax and have some 'Me' time.

Bellatrix was wrathful to say the least. She was freezing cold. Her clothes were clinging uncomfortably to her body and her stealthy entrance was absolutely 'blown out of the water' so to speak. She cursed under her breath and began to hoist herself up out of the frigid water, mentally strangling her mother for passing on the 'Clumsy' gene that both she and her niece had inherited. Shivering, covered in algae and several shades whiter, Bellatrix continued to move towards the house, drawing her wand as she went. When in view of the front door, she reached out and took the handle. Rattling it, she found it locked, not really a surprise. There was no excusing it as a figment of her imagination.

Somebody was at the door, trying to get in. At 16 she was not yet old enough to legally use magic; Tonks crawled behind the sofa, taking her wand with her 'just in case'...The next thing she heard was a loud bang as the front door was blown off its hinges. A manic cackle reverberated off of the walls and hit Tonks' ears with defining clarity; fear seemed to rise steadily throughout her whole body. She knew that laughter.

Bellatrix Lestrange stood, peering into the living room. A wide smirk began to spread across her face as she spotted a foot protruding from behind the sofa. She coughed, to announce her presence and thought to herself 'I'll let her squirm for a while before I begin...it'll be more fun that way...' Striding across the room, she put on her sweetest voice and began the game. "Come out, Come out wherever you are!" Her words seemed to fill up the entire room, Tonks wriggled uncomfortably in her hiding place and slid her hand over her mouth to try and muffle her increasingly loud breathing. When no answer came Bella threw her head back in laughter and walked over to the mantelpiece "She must be hiding somewhere else..." Five photographs stood upon the mantelpiece.

Bellatrix selected the smallest of the lot, which held a smiling picture of her niece within its golden frame. A sudden burst of happiness overwhelmed her as she thought of the many things she could do to wipe that smile off of the young girls face. Grinning manically she span around to face the rest of the room, still clutching the frame and began to talk, apparently to herself. "Humm... she's a pretty little wench..."

Tonks' grip over her mouth tightened slightly and she pulled her knees up to her chest, as though they could shield her. "Shame she's the spawn of such...Scum!"... Taking a step forwards, she launched the photo at the wall behind the sofa, sending shards of broken glass showering over her young nieces head. She then strode over to the kitchen and began to empty the cupboards of everything they contained, shrieking manically the entire time. "Maybe she's playing hide and seek!, Does little Nymphadora want her Aunty Bella to come and play!" Half way though smashing a set of mugs, she stopped screaming, something caught her eye. A bowl of what she found to be cherries.

She calmly picked one and popped it into her mouth. A couple of seconds later, her face suddenly contorted in disgust, she sprayed cherry over the surrounding cutlery with a loud 'Urghh!' and carried on with her violent rampage. By the time she was finished everything was broken, even the sink that she had attacked with the leg of a mangled chair.

Dora was sure that Bellatrix was insane. What kind of sane person, even if they were angry, would take the time to destroy every last thing they came into contact with...? She just hoped she wouldn't be faced with that rage any time soon... By now Bellatrix had made her way back into the living room and was now searching in an even more frenzied fashion. After having a quick peek behind the curtains and a glance up the chimney (that resulted in a face full of soot and more manic laughter), she had decided that she had grown tiered of games, After all- she had a whole week of games ahead of her.
