Prologue
On a dark, cold, filthy floor lay a young, small, pale figure. Clothed in what, was nice, but now tattered, dark blue robes, she lay in silence. Surrounding her was about thirty masked figures, dress in long black robes. All of them looking intently at the tall thin man seated in a throne like chair before her. Crouched in the foetal position she started to get up. A cold chilling laugh came from before her. When she looked up you could see that her features which where once beautiful was now battered, bloodied and bruised. She tried to get on her knees.
He rose slowly from his throne to stand before her. Long thin fingers, played over his wand, that had just been used against her. A cruel smile on his thin lips as he enjoyed her painful struggles.
"Do you really think you can disobey me,(( fail me,_(. My sweet Aurora, and not be punished?" He questioned quietly.
"I think your attachment to Black has corrupted your judgement. He would have betrayed his friends." Aurora looked up at his nodding face. "You know I can be most persuasive when I need to be." He smiled at her maliciously.
Aurora at last struggled to her feet. Her once long straight black hair now hung in uneven filthy clumps. Like a child had taken to it with scissors. Her pale slender form was battered like her face. Yet in her fiery green eyes, Aurora still had her spirit. She looked him in the eye as she spoke.
"Sirius will never obey you, he would die first. And I won't betray him to you. I will never obey you again." Straightening up, not betraying her pain she calmly continued. "I know now, what you are(( a monster. My allegiance is with Professor Dumbledore, I will not betray him, or Sirius,(.. Master ,..(you will fail."
His smile vanished as he noticed the defiance still in her eyes. Thinning his dark red eyes, Voldemort scowled at her. "You seem to require further discipline. I think(." He looked slowly at the figures surrounding them. Pointing at one who stepped forward with a smile. "(.Lucius, will know how to punish you." At these words he started to walk away, chuckling he turned to her again.
"By the way, I know were the Potters are. You see, I didn't even need Sirius. If fact it was because of you, I now know they are at(..Godric's Hollow." Pausing he read her now unguarded thoughts. Watching her stricken face. "Yes, my sweet, Sirius did listen to you, and because of(you(.he made Peter, the Potters secret keeper." Chuckling at her realization, he continued with glee. "So you see, your(courage. Was all for nothing. Peter has betrayed them and(.. Sirius will be(" He left the statement unanswered, loving her desperate expression "you(. will have to be punished. Lucius(" He starting to walk away and the smiling masked figure moved forward.
Aurora, felt her courage fade, her face crumpled and she started to shiver all over. With pleading and desperation in her voice she screamed. " Please no, not Sirius." Looking with fear at Lucius she continued. "Don't do this to me.! You have to let me go!" Looking to the faceless people around her she begged once more for her freedom. When no one responded. She pleading to the retreating back of her captor "Please, don't( Lucius, please."
The only response she got was the cold chilling laugh as Voldemort left the room. As the hooded cloaked figure approach her with a blonde strand of hair falling out from behind the mask, Aurora screamed to the closing door.
"Please!!! Don't do this to me!!(( Father!"
Lucius smiled as he raised his wand. "No one can help you know, you will always belong to me."
Aurora, in desperation, turned to run.
"Crucio!"
And as she fell to the floor, screaming in pain, a flash of red was the last thing she saw.
