I really love the idea of this, I don't even know why.
November, 1973
"No, I told you!" Andromeda snapped at Moody. "She was here, she was right here!" She pointed to her daughter's bed, which was a ruffled mess.
Andromeda had contacted the Order, in a state of panic. Her five month old daughter had disappeared from her bed, in under ten minutes.
"I was only gone for a few minutes." Andromeda said, sounding almost defeated. "I don't understand."
"There a few of us searching, Andromeda." Kingsley said calmly. "We'll search all night if we have to."
By the time the sun came up, they had searched the entire small village, the woods surrounding it and even the next village. But there was so sign of Nymphadora Tonks.

"My Lord?" Bellatrix asked.
"You heard me, Bellatrix." Voldemort said. "I asked you, if it was true, that you've become an Aunt."
"Y-yes, My Lord." Bellatrix said, bowing her head.
"And the rumours, of her being a Metamorphmagus?"
"I am not sure on how true those are."
"I believe, if it is true, this could be an advantage for us." Voldemort said calmly. "Do you know what she'll be raised to be?"
"No, My Lord."
"An Order member, no doubts. Unless my Death Eaters find her, and she is raised under a new name."
"A new name?" Bellatrix asked.
"The name of Lestrange."
"I'm afraid I don't understand, My Lord." Bellatrix said, looking at her master.
"This child, whether or not the rumours hold truth, can help us. We continue to recruit, we continue to outnumber the Order. And a Metamorphmagus on our side..." Voldemort trailed off. "You will find this child. She will bear the last name Lestrange, and she will be raised- away from Hogwarts- by you to be a Death Eater."

"This just sounds like a train wreck and a half, so I'm happy to not sit this one out." Sirius commented, as soon as he became himself again. "Remind me why I asked to come?"
"You were bored of being cooped up." Remus responded. "I'm honestly surprised Albus let you come, even as a dog."
"I can be persuasive." Sirius replied casually. They stared up at the Lestrange Manor.
"It's a bit bigger than I thought." Remus commented. "How are we supposed to find the records?"
"I don't know, but we have to be fast."
The two men made their way up the damaged and aged walkway. Bellatrix and Rodolphus had been imprisoned for close to 15 years now, and the house definitely showed neglect. The door was hard to open, and Remus had to blast it open, only to find it had been blocked by chairs.
Sirius and Remus frowned at each other, but continued inwards. Sirius threw his arm out and knocked Remus down as a large ornate vase fell from above smashed to the ground right he had been about to step.
They looked up to see a head of dark hair vanish from the balcony beside the stairs.
"Who the Hell-" Sirius began, heading for the stairs. He bolted up the stairs, Remus behind him, as they heard a bedroom door slam at the end of the hall. Sirius blasted the bedroom door open, advancing on the cowering shape in the dark room.
"Lumos!" Sirius said, his wand lighting up. He pointed his wand at the shape. A young girl, with dark matted hair surrounding her pale face, stared at him fearfully.
"Who are you?" Sirius demanded.
"I was waiting for Mother and Father to return but they never did-" She stuttered. "-and I thought you were the man with the beard- he tried to corner me before-"
"The man with the beard?" Remus asked, frowning. He had put his wand away, she seemed harmless, and more than terrified at the sight of Sirius' wand.
"I was alone for a while when he showed up, he was trying to find me, he was trying to get me to go with him- but I fought him off, I got him to leave-"
"What's your name?" Sirius asked, trying to focus on her features. She looked like Bellatrix, down the dark grey eyes, but her hair was a few shades lighter than Bellatrix's had been. She was wearing dirty robes that were too long on her, and Sirius was convinced they were in fact, robes meant for a man.
"I was just waiting- they said they'd come back for me- I don't know where they went-" She said, tears beginning to fall from her eyes. "I've been alone for so long, and I don't think they're coming back-"
"What's your name?" Sirius repeated, his voice harsher than he really meant it to be.
"Nymphadora Lestrange-" She said, sobbing.
"Oh, shit." Sirius muttered.
