[A/N: This is yet another crazy story by me. Now I'll just again state that Harry Potter does NOT belong to me, otherwise Sirius wouldn't have died and Harry would have been gay. WARNING: Bella is not a Death Eater in this story, not a Lestrange and not crazy. Now let's begin the story.]

Prologue.

Lily Potter paced around the room impatiently, as she waited for the only person she coud talk to, her school friend, Bella Black. She was lucky that her husband was out and would come home tomorrow, he was celebrating the birth of the twins with his friends. Finally after what seemed like an eternity the fire flickered green and a tall dark haired woman came through the floo.

- Lily, honey, how are you? What did the bastard do this time? When I heard you got pregnant so soon after having Alexis, I was very worried and Potter didn't let me see you...

- Merlin, Bella! I... I had to talk to you...There is this thing I did... I... I can't keep this to myself...

The witch looked at her friend with concern shining in her enticing silver eyes:

- Lils, listen to me. You need to calm down. Breathe. Tell me everything, I'll do all I can to help you.

- Ok. You know the circumstances of Alexis' birth.

- Of course...

- Well... James was so mad... He... he said that if I didn't get pregnant within a month, he'd kill her.

At this point tears began flowing from Lily's green eyes, but she didn't notice, Bellatrix did and the sight made her grit her teeth in fury, but she knew that now her friend needed her to listen, so she bit down the angry yells that threaten to escape from her mouth. Those few seconds were enough for Lily to continue in a slightly shaking voice:

- My personal mediwizard told me that there was a high chance of me becoming sterile, so I used a potion to get pregnant... only James was not the donor...

Now Bellatrix did the only thing she could - she gaped at her friend incredulously, she knew that Lily was resourceful, but this just reminded her why Lily was in Slytherin:

- I take it James doesn't know?

- That's the thing. The potion required DNA of three males, James being the fourth, since he... took me less than 10 minutes later... Anyway, I just made a paternity potion... the one you and I helped Sev create. It says that the twins have three fathers, which is expected, but James is not among those three. Bella... I need to keep this and the identity of Alexis' father a secret.

- What do you need me to do?

- Well... with the knowledge of the prorphecy... I wrote three letters, one for each of the children. They are charmed to be delivered. The one for Alexis on her 11th birthday and the ones for the twins on their 13th birthday, should something happen to me and James. I've put memories inside as well... so that they know thhe truth... I need you to... obliviate me.

As soon as the words left her mouth, Bella lost it, though Lily expected it:

- Lils! I can't! Not this! Not to you! I'd rather kill Potter.

- Bella! Please, I know that now that the twins were born James will most likely send Alexis away and as his submissive I can't do anything about it. So I need you to be alert and if he gives her to an orphanage, I want you to take her and raise as your own. Therefore you can't go after James. Please, Bella. You're the only one I can trust to do this.

With an audible gulp Ms Black raised her wand and muttered: "Obliviate!" Not waiting for Lily to come to her senses, she left.

While the two witches were talking, James was in a meeting one Albus Percival Wulfrick Brian Dumbledore. And surprisingly enough the theme of the discussion was his family.

- Headmaster, now that my mate gave birth to my heirs, what do I do about the girl?

- James, my boy, I know you don't want her to be in the house... but think about Lily...

- My submisive will accept anything I order her to. Does an orphanage sound acceptable?

- Of course. Just make sure it's a magical one. We do not need another Voldemort.

- A good idea, headmaster. Thank you for the advice. I also thought I'd warn you, that I made Peter our secret keeper, you know so that Sirius isn't blamed in case something happens.

- Nice choice. I believe our enemy won't think of it. Tell me, when did Lly last meet with miss Black?

- Bella? A year ago or so, why?

- You think it wise to forbid the friends to see each other?

- Headmaster, I won't have that bitch influencing Lily the wrong way, after all, she is a dominant as well.

- I just hope Lily doesn't do something drastic.

- I know my sub, don't worry.

The next morning Lily woke up slightly disoriented. A few hours of her days were suspiciously fuzzy, but she didn't care, couldn't bring herself to care.

James came downstairs and saw breakfast ready. He decided to get t the point:

- Lillian. There is something is something we need to do.

- What is it, James?

- The girl. You will give her to a magical orphanage, a good one. After that I don't want you to ever mention her again in my presence.

- As you wish.

Agreeing to the order hurt like hell, but being the submissive meant that she had no say in anything. So, she went upstairs, picked up her oldest child and left to carry out her dom's order.

On the way to the orphanage, she sent Bella a letter, informing he friend about the adress of the orphanage. Having made sure that Bellatrix would later come by and take her girl was a bit of a consolation, but Lily loved the girl, even if she was a result of a rape. Still, she told herself, it could have been worse.

A week past, Lily seemed to get gloomier every day, which annoyed James to no end, a few times he even hit her, but that didn't get a reaction at all, for all purposes the submissive was fading away, not that Lord Potter actually cared.

In the mean time Bellatrix Black didn't waste time. She waited a few days, as Lily wanted and then went to the orphanage her friend told her about. Becoming Alexis' guardian was very easy, but Bella was not a Black for nothing, her name weighed a lot and she liked using the power being a Black gave her.

At first things were awkward. Bella was only 19 with no experience with children, but she loved the girl from the moment she saw her. As Voldemort was becomng more active with every passing day, the witch took the child and moved to France to live with her distant relatives for some time.

Still, when news reached her of the Potters' demise on Halloween 1981, she took Alexis back to England. She thought to take in the twins as well, but found that they were sent to Lily's sister's family, who were muggles. She was even more surprised when she learned that Sirius was sent to azkaban for betraying the Potters. This was very fishy, but she was too angry with her cousin to notice...
