The Other Lestranges
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the people or places mentioned in this story. I wish I owned Harry Potter, but I don't. So please don't sue me.
Alrighty, this is my first fanfiction, so I'm sorry if it's not very good.
Also, let's pretend like Bellatrix Lestrange was 17 and fresh out of Hogwarts when Harry Potter's parents were killed, which would make her 16 years older than Olivia and Margaret Lestrange. Finally, I'm going to switch points of view occasionally throughout the story, so I'll try and make it pretty clear.
Oh, and thoughts will be in italics.
Cornelius Fudge's POV:
I will never, ever get over that ghastly feeling. I mean, Apparating is immensely handy, but ever so uncomfortable.
I stood in front of a grand, four-story brick mansion covered in green ivy in Budleigh Salterton. I could see that the house was busy with activity, and that there were at least two people home. This was quite a simple task, so I wasn't exactly sure why I was so nervous. As I walked towards the front door, I tried to take slow calming breaths. After three quick knocks, a pretty, brown haired girl with stunning emerald green eyes answered the door.
"Oh hello, Margaret. Can I have a quick word with you and your sister please?" I asked.
"Good morning, Cornelius! Do come in. It's so good to see you. I'll go and get Olivia." Margaret Lestrange responded.
As if the outside of the house wasn't magnificent enough, the inside was beyond anything I had ever seen. Every room had at least two chandeliers, the ceilings were bordered with gold, and you could just see the Zen waterfall that led into the indoor pool upstairs. I sat gingerly on the edge of one of the Italian leather couches, not wanting to touch anything in case of an accident. After about a minute of waiting, both identical twins, Margaret and Olivia Lestrange, sat on either sides of the couch with me.
"So Minister, what was it you wanted to talk to us about?" Margaret asked.
"Ah yes. Well I came here to inform you that, even though we asked you not to attend for the last four years because of your sisters deeds, we would like to invite both of you to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the fall." I said. Well, that was quite easier than I expected.
"Are you serious? That's fantastic! Thank you Cornelius!" exclaimed Olivia.
"Yes, yes you are quite welcome. Now here are your letters. Everything you will need is listed. Now, I must be going. I hope to see you soon." I explained.
"Alright. Thanks again for stopping by. Good day Minister." said Margaret as she opened the door for me.
Sorry if this was kind of short and rather unexciting. I just wanted to get all the explaining out of the way before the real action begins. Please, please, please review! I love both praises and constructive criticism. I will be posting the next chapter up shortly. Thanks!
