Disclaimer:

I do not own the characters of Harry Potter, these belong to that wonderful author JK Rowling and the various publishing companies used to publish her works. I am however borrowing them, no not to make money but for fun and fun only. Only JK Rowling, her publishers, Warner Brothers and who JK Rowling says can make money and she has not given me permission for that, so no I do not make money off this, again it is for fun!

Summary:

Harry has defeated Voldemort in his fifth year, and Severus Snape is free from Voldemort and most of followers are dead or reformed. Yet Bellatrix Lestrange has taken over where Voldemort left off and plans to take over the world.

In the last book most of the death eaters followed Lucius Malfoy when he left Voldemort. There are very few left alive that followed Bellatrix but she is still very powerful, the remainder of the werewolves, vampires and other dark creatures that were not part of the last battle of Voldemort but did not give up their evil ways have joined to her. Though the Dementors are largely destroyed that does not mean there are not a few left here and there.

This story will deal with the deathly hallows, Bellatrix has found out about them and now she wants them to gain power over the Wizarding world and death. She believes that they can give her that power much as Grindlewald and even Dumbledore still does believe somewhat. A race to stop Bellatrix before she finds them is on the way. This story has been updated like the others to more fully follow canon and to be cleaned up as well.

Prologue:

Bellatrix Lestrange hated Harry Potter. She hated him with all her miserable heart and soul. He had killed her one true love Voldemort. Her long years in Azkaban were bearable for the fact that she knew one day she would be united with him. That their suffering would be over and they would rule as king and queen over the whole world. The only thing standing in the way of course was her husband, she had hoped Azkaban would have killed him but he was made of stronger stuff it seemed. Though she had wished him dead Voldemort had seen he was worth something and kept him around. Voldemort had died before her husband and she hated Rudolphus for that. She cursed the sun, God and the angels and Harry Potter who she blamed for all of this, it was all his fault for what had happened.

Bellatrix Black Lestrange stepped back from the window and the moon nearing full. The castle was hers now, ancient and blackened from a thousand years of dark magic and bloodshed it had earned the name of Blood castle. She was hardly recognizable anymore, gone was the somber but pretty girl she had been in Hogwarts (already in those tender years she had a heart of evil). Gone too was the crazed woman she had been to the world. Now stood the real woman, beautiful with a terrible beauty she stood looking like some dark angel clad all in black. Her black hair was pulled back in an elegant bun and her white face was dominated by her black soulless eyes. Her dark purple gown was of the finest velvet, her bodice of black dragon skin with shoes of softest leather. Under her robes she was clad in layers of black silk shot with spells and she wore a black velvet cloak lined with dark purple silk.

She turned to face those very few death eaters still alive who pledged loyalty to her as they wished the cause to go forth. No longer would she hide behind the banner of Slytherin, Salazar would not understand why she did what she did. She did not care anymore as she would rule the world as she saw fit with her loyal lieutenants at her side. She surveyed the people here, the Carrows, McNair, and Nott were all there, even sniveling Peter Pettigrew was here because he was useful in his own way. There were muggles here as well as she had done what she had sworn never to do and she had joined with these muggles as evil and soulless as she to help her take over the world. Not even Grindlewald had done that, though there were rumors he had ruled the muggle Hitler. She had promised them riches and power in their own right for what could they do to her once she ruled completely?

"What news do you have for me?" She asked taking a seat in the same chair that Voldemort had sat in such a short time ago.

"Why are they here?" Nott asked her of the muggles sitting at the table.

"They are my guests, gone is the time we can live in isolation, we must work with all humans if we are to take over the world. As much as I cared for Voldemort he could not see that one day the magical and muggle world would have to work together."

"But muggles hate us." Nott said.

"We do not, we understand you have powers that we do not, we have advanced as far as we can, we need your help now." Thomas Hole the youngest but clearly the leader of the muggles said. "We must work together if we are to take over the world."

"So you would use us?" McNair asked.

"No that way, we want to work with you, if you do not wish our help we will leave." Thomas said.

"What do you have to offer us?" Notts asked.

"We can deliver death and destruction on those who refuse to join with us." Thomas said his gray eyes glinting.

"Please do tell us what you can do." Bellatrix said taking a goblet of wine from her house elf.

Thomas did so and the death eaters here were impressed with what the muggles could offer them. They agreed to accept the help and that is exactly what Bellatrix hoped they would do. She smiled as they left, even if she was captured or hurt the work would go on. She would see the world destroyed or under magical control there was no other way. She had taken the precautions needed to keep her alive, and she planned on being around far longer than her master had been. She would make those that took him from her pay and her reign would be terrible and painful to those who dared oppose her.

Hours later Bellatrix was resting when her most loyal servant came in. He was tall dark and boorish in looks but smarter than any of her death eaters put together. His name was Darrow Yaxley and he had been high up in the ministry of magic. That is until the last battle with Voldemort and he had fought against the ministry and the Order of the Phoenix. He had been listed as dead and as he did not wish to correct that he now worked underground gathering what information he could and reporting to Bellatrix. He did not have news today but Bellatrix could not fault him, she wished to talk to him as he was one of the few that understood her full plan. Over dinner they talked, or she talked and he listened.

"I want that brat Harry Potter." She said to Yaxley.

"So do, I but mostly I wish to kill Severus Snape." Yaxley said. "He has betrayed us all."

"He has sided with the weakest side and will rue the day he ever did so against me." Bellatrix said taking a sip of her blood red wine. "He has dared refuse me as well."

"A thing most unwise." Yaxley said. "He has a brat, a son as well."

"I will see to it that he and the child die." Bellatrix said coldly. "He will watch his son die before his eyes."

"How can we gain the boy when we know not where he is?" Yaxley said.

"Oh I have my ways, I will get my revenge, on him, on my so called sisters and on my dear brother in laws as well. Blood will pour forth and stain the stones of their houses when I am done."

Yaxley knew he had sided with the right woman, the right witch. After all she shared most of his same desires and feelings and he knew what she truly wanted. He of all the death eaters knew she loved the dark lord and he had grieved for her as much as him when he was finally struck down. He would help her get her revenge, he would bled for her and die for her because is that not what one did when they loved another? The world be damned, he had his dark queen and he worshiped her as a dark goddess. Revenge was hers and he was going to help her get it. The Malfoys, Goyles, Crabbes and what remained of the Blacks would feel her wrath before the year was out…

So let me know what you think!
