Prompt: Mask


Hermione gripped her wand tightly in her hand, her eyes darting between her father, laying on the floor unconscious, and her mother with a wand pressed to her neck.

The Death-Eater in the mask was watching her, waiting for her reaction.

"Let my parents go," Hermione demanded.

"But I wanted to meet them," came a reply, and Hermione felt a fresh wave of fear grip her. She could almost hear the pout in the woman's voice.

"Bellatrix," she whispered. "Why?"

"I wanted to see you," Bellatrix replied, moving towards her, dragging her mother by her arm, deep red nails digging into Jean's arm. "We've had so much fun together, aren't you going to invite my to stay for dinner?" Her wand pressed harder into her neck as she watched Hermione.

Hermione was frozen, not certain how to handle the situation.

"Let my mum go," she said.

"Soon," Bellatrix said, a smile on her face. "First, we're going to have a nice evening, my love."

Hermione watched the insane woman take her mask off, placing it on the table - she was just as threatening without it and at the sight of her crazed eyes, Hermione felt herself back in the Malfoy Manor again.

"Of course we are," she whispered, trying to smile, wanting to play along. Maybe she would get a chance to get a message to the Order somehow. "What did you have in mind."

"Dinner," her mother said, her gaze moving fearfully between her husband and daughter before moving to the woman again. "I can make dinner. Let me just run out and get some shopping to make -"

A wand was pointed at her, and she froze. "I don't think so," Bellatrix said. "I've already set the wards around the house. If you leave, I'll know."
