May 15, 1998
(Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire, England)
When Hermione was a little kid, her parents used to tell her stories that have 'happily ever after' ending. It makes her believe in love, goodness, justice, and equality. She imagined each character on each story that struggles at first then rise above all and end up happy. It was an ideal world and she loves it.
But what's happening now is not a fairytale.
Voldemort wins, Harry Potter is dead, and the Ministry of Magic has been taken over by Death Eaters. She's laying on the floor, clutching her stomach. She can see the blood on the crotch of her pants and she knew. Her unborn child is dead. His father never knew him. No one knows that he exists, and now he's gone.
Someone kicked her on her back. It was very painful. Tears keep following from her eyes and the pain for the previous curses is still there.
"I'm getting bored, Cissy. The mudblood is not screaming anymore!" Bellatrix whined. Hermione opens her eyes and saw Narcissa sitting near the window while having a tea like it's just a normal day. Bellatrix walked and stood in front of her. Bellatrix cursed her again. Her throat has gotten hoarse from the previous curses. The raven witch stopped and walked and sat on the spare chair by the window.
"Have some tea, Bella. Give it a rest. The mudblood will be around as your toy." Narcissa said in a calm voice.
Bellatrix huffed stubbornly. She acting like a child even Narcissa is the youngest among the Black sisters.
"The Dark Lord wants me to do something with the remaining blood traitors and mudblood alive. I want them out of this world but the Dark Lord said I'm just doing them a favor" said Bellatrix.
"Why not put them in Azkaban?" Narcissa suggested.
"It can be, but I think it's not enough." Bellatrix tapped the tip of her wand on her chin.
Hermione's vision is getting blurry. Then a house elf pops and serves some sandwiches to his master. The elf disappeared after serving the food.
"By the way, is Rodolphus home already?" asked Narcissa. Bellatrix sighed annoyingly. She hates talking about her stupid husband.
"No. He's in Knockturn Alley. He has this slag for a lover. Some Hufflepuff bimbo who is 10 years younger than him! Stupid useless husband of mine!"
"He wouldn't do it if you did a better job as a wife, Bella"
Bellatrix glared at her sister. "I'm busy serving the Dark Lord. For the greater good. He must understand that!" Bellatrix stood up and paced around.
"You treat the Dark Lord as a husband more than your real husband. I know how you feel about him, Bella."
Bellatrix stared at her sister. Narcissa knows her so well. She kneeled in front if her and hold her hands.
"I love him, Cissy. Every since I received his diary when I was 14. He always talks to me. He makes me laugh. He makes me feel needed. He wants this world to be a better place. To be ruled by real wizards. Not mudbloods, half bloods, and muggle lovers. He needs me, Cissy. I know. He loves me. Yes, yes, he does! No matter happens, he will have me. And I will give myself to him. We will be together. Forever!"
Narcissa caressed the top of Bellatrix's head. "You have a husband, Bella. He's the one you should be serving and giving your love."
"No!" Bellatrix stood up. "I won't be with him! I refused. I will give him slags so that he won't be a hindrance between me and the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord is the only man I will serve and dedicate my life with. Rodolphus can have anyone he wants. Even this pathetic mudblood here. And he- Wait! That's it!" Bellatrix laughed absurdly.
Narcissa looks at her quizzically. "What do you mean, Bella?"
"I will make this mudblood and the rest of them a slave! A slave that any wizards can acquire to fulfill anything they want. Yes! I will do that!"
Narcissa took her cup of tea and took a sip. "As long as my husband and son will be out of it, that's fine"
"Of course, Narcissa! I'm not stupid! I won't let them be tainted. After all, your husband wouldn't dare and my darling nephew will get married to the younger Greengrass girl next month." Bellatrix sat again and took her tea.
Narcissa sighed and smoothed her skirt and stands up. She walked towards the window that is overlooking her rose maze garden. "She's just 15, but with the consent of the Greengrass family, she and Draco will get marry." She looked back at her sister. "Bella, can you help me in asking the Dark Lord to allow Draco and Astoria live in France once they got married?"
Bellatrix tilted her head to her right "But why?"
"I want them to start their family fresh. Without the responsibilities here and surrounded by this chaos. Just until they got to settle, produced a son and the kid will be old enough to learn his heritage and this world will be in a stable condition."
Bellatrix huffed "Fine! As long as you help me plan with my slavery idea."
"Of course, Bella" Narcissa smiled.
Bellatrix looked at Hermione who is pale and bleeding. She kicked her at the thigh and laughed. "You heard that, Mudblood? You will be a slave. A wretched slave that will do anything your master will ask. You might be lucky, girlie. I might give you as a gift to my darling husband!" Bellatrix laughed as Hermione wanted to die at that moment.
