Bellatrix sagged forwards her chains complained with strain under her weight, and her baby's. She was now 6 months pregnant. The rough, faded black and white striped cloth dress was already tight around her ever expanding bump.

Heavy footsteps echoed around Azkaban as two largely muscled wizards strode their way down the dark corridors.

Bellatrix looked up sharply as the footsteps stopped outside her cell.

"You requested a presence with the minister" One spoke coldly at her "For some strange reason he has agreed to see you."

Bellatrix smiled or rather smirked at them, as they unchained her from the wall and slapped on another pair of handcuffs that had an extra cuff on so she would be attached to one of these men at all times. Before being thrown in that god forsaken cage with spikes around her head.

She was shoved and dragged down the corridors past screaming jail mates, some hysterical with madness or anger others pleading and begging to be taken or killed.

Bellatrix felt nothing for these prisoners, not even Barty Crouch Jr ,who had ironically found a bit of sanity, realised what he had done, and was driven insane once again. Although in that spiked cage that would be her main focus while talking to the re-instated Barty Crouch Sr.

A large hand roughly grabbed her back and tossed her into the lift that would take her and the two guards, or idiot 1 and idiot 2 as she liked to think of them, to the ground floor. As she waited she rested her hands on her bump, she suppressed a smile as her baby kicked in response to her touch.

They soon reached the ground floor and Bellatrix was unceremoniously pulled out of the lift and dragged towards a small statue in the centre of an empty room.

"I assume you know how to use a port key" Idiot 2 snarled at her

Bellatrix raised her head so she was looking down her nose at him and replied flatly "Do you know how to use a wand?"

"Oh she knows how to make jokes. How refreshing" Idiot 1 exclaimed sarcastically.

She smirked at him in response and grabbed the statue. She found she successfully landed on her feet which surprised her, she never landed on her feet when using a portkey it was infact the reason she avoided. She felt herself being yanked out of her thoughts and she was once again pulled, pushed, shoved and dragged, down the ministry's underground corridors into a small room where she would be freed from these 'guards' but put into a cage that would be barely big enough for her to fit into.

Sure enough she was rushed into a small room where she was locked into the spiked cage and was being raised to meet the minister.

"So you seek your freedom, Bellatrix Lestrange"

She froze but managed to croak out "Yes"

"Would you care to explain why I should release you?" Barty Crouch Senior asked her, looking at her bump rather than in the eye.

"My child" She started "I would like to be freed so I can be a proper mother and because I do not want my child living in Azkaban, or growing up in there. It drives sane people insane and on one occasion it drove someone insane to sanity then back to insanity."

"May I ask how you know this person was driven sane then back to insanity"

"It was your son, the more he thought about what he had done to the magical world the more he realised he had been wrong and now he cries and screams with insanity because of what he has done."

"If you do not have any useful information for me then you can return to Azkaban"

"Malfoy Manor" Bellatrix shouted " It was the main safehouse for death eaters"

"We know. Take her away"

"No!" She screamed in desperation "There's another. In the muggle world as a back up." Bellatrix continued as the minister now looked in her eyes. "Its disguised as a manufacturing warehouse in London behind what the muggle's call the High Street"

"Interesting" The minister waved his hand at one of the guards "Free Her. Bellatrix you are aware that since you are being re-introduced to socity you will have to wear a tracking charm at all times"


Okay Bellatrix will be OOC throughout this story due to the fact she will have a baby etc... Reviews will be greatly welcomed even critical ones.
