Note: I don't own the Harry Potter characters. But I own Cyrus Henderson.
Chapter 2
Cyrus placed Bellatrix on a bed in his basement. It was a medium sized room, filled with a lot of stuff(mostly scientific). Cyrus grabbed Bellatrix's wand and then reached into his waist bag to pull a second, charred-looking wand.
"looks the same,except for the burn marks." Cyrus placed the charred wand back into his bag but he took Bellatrix's to a table at the other side of the room. He placed it on the table and grabbed a big, dusty old book off the shelf. It was titled "Book of Magic".
"this thing has really gotten dusty. Okay now where is the chapter about how to extract wand powers..." Cyrus scrolled through the pages until he found a page titled "Wand Extracting".
"finally. Now let's see here. Crush the wand with a pestle in a mortar." Cyrus grabbed a large mortar, placed Bellatrix's wand in it(it was a perfect fit), and began crushing it with a large pestle. Red sparks flew as the wand got crushed to splinters and then into fine dust.
"next step. Pour the wand dust into water, mix it with a spoon, and pour it back into the mortar." He dumped the dust into a glass of water and mixed it with a spoon. Again red sparks flew up into the air and the water became a shiny silver liquid. He poured the liquid into the mortar than looked back at the instructions.
"final step. Tap with a wand twice. Sometimes these make no sense. You need two wands for this." He pulled out the charred wand from his bag and tapped the liquid twice. The liquid began to glow very bright before exploding. It was replaced with glowing red dust.
"right. Now time to try it-" there was a knock upstairs on the front door." Who on earth could that be? Especially in this storm..." he walked up the stairs to the door and opened it. A hooded figure was standing there. Cyrus didn't see his face but could tell the guy was a wizard because their was a wand sticking out of the guy's pocket.
"who the devil are you?"
" my name is Remus Lupin. I was wondering if you could come with me." The hooded figure said in a calm voice.
"where exactly?"
"Number 12 Grimmauld place"
Cyrus looked at the figure a bit more closely before saying,
"why should I trust you?"
"a very wise question. But if you are saying what I think you're saying, I'm not a Death Eater." Remus pulled up his right sleeve to show nothing there.
"what's that mean?"
"I'll explain everything later. Right now we have go." Remus than moved back a few feet. Cyrus, though still suspicious, followed Remus, watching very closely in case he tried to do anything.

Remus stoped between number 11 and number 13 Grimmauld place and handed Cyrus a piece of paper.
"read this" he said.
Cyrus unfolded the paper which said "Headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is Number 12 Grimmauld place."
"no idea what that means but okay." The moment Cyrus finished his sentence, the ground began to shake and a house appeared between number 11 and 13 Grimmauld place.
"Welcome to Number 12 Grimmauld place." Remus walked up to the door and knocked.
"why don't you use the doorbell?"
" because of Ms. Black. But even knocking doesn't help." replied Remus. The door was opened by pink haired woman.
"whatcha Remus! Oh I see you brought someone with you."
"Cyrus may I introduce you to Tonks. Tonks, this is Cyrus Henderson." Remus then entered the house followed by Cyrus.
"how do you live in this place? It's totally trashed."
"it was abandoned for years. It belonged to a friend of mine Sirius Black. He was killed a couple months ago by his cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange."
Cyrus had Bellatrix Lestrange unconscious in his basement. He intended to confront her when she woke up about this. And because her wand was history, he would have a better chance.
"but you in a way have avenged him. You killed Bellatrix's husband Rodolphus. So Bellatrix is most likely destroyed by his death. I just wonder how you killed him." Remus looked at Cyrus.
" I used this." Cyrus withdrew what looked like a crossbow. But it had a big gun barrel in the middle instead of an arrow launcher. It was black with the word Ballista written in gold on both sides." This thing is probably one of the most powerful weapons in existence."
"that thing looks very impressive. But I think you need a wand."
"I have a wand." He proceeded to pull out the charred wand."belonged to that Rodolphus. Guess it's mine now."
"but you still probably don't know many spells." Remus grabbed a book from a shelf." Everything you need to know about spells." He handed it to Cyrus." But the real reason I brought you hear is to ask you if you would like to join the Order of the Phoenix"
"and what's the Order of the Phoenix?" Cyrus opened the book and scrolled through the pages,examining it.
"The Order of the Phoenix is a group of wizards who are against He-who-must-not-be-named and his Death Eaters. You might not know who He-who-must-not-be-named is but he is the most powerful dark wizard in existence. And he is currently in power."
" The flaw I see is" Cyrus closed the book at walked across to a shelf and began to examine the books" that I'm not a wizard."
"but you have potential." Remus sighed."I'll give you time to consider. How about you come by tomorrow with your answer?"
"All right. I'll be going than" Cyrus went to the door and left. On his way back to his house, he considered the offer. He had been in several wars before and all of them took something away from him. But his first intention was to confront Bellatrix Lestrange when he got back, providing she was awake.
Author's Note: another chapter done. Will try to get more done tomorrow if possible
