I don't, in any way, own Harry Potter, or the magical world associated with it. *sobs*

The next morning Fred woke up, his head feeling muffled, to a house elf talking loudly in his face. He opened his eyes, and jerked back, instinctually, from the wrinkled elf face in front of his own.

"Missy is glad you have woken up, sir! Mistress Bellatrix," she shivered in fear and trepidation when she said her name, "has commanded that Missy is to wake you up and inform you of breakfast being served in the Dining Room."

Fred sat up, yawning, "Hmm, yes, is that all, Missy?"

"Yes, sir! Will you be joining Master and Mistress Lestrange, and Miss Daphne in the Dining Room? Miss Daphne hasn't arrived yet, but she agreed to attend."

"Yes, I'll go to breakfast. What time is it?"

"5:16, you still have 14 minutes until you are expected."

"Alright Missy. You can… Leave?" Fred said, not sure what to say, or if she would even leave.

She nodded, and apperated away.

Fred shook his head, hoping to wake himself up, and got out of bed. He quickly showered and dressed, before checking the time and leaving. He got to the Dining Room a minute early, but Bellatrix and Rodolphus were already seated, talking to each other. Hesitantly he sat at the same seat he had yesterday, and participated limitedly in the conversation. Only a minute or two later, Daphne entered. She sat next to him, and across from Rodolphus, who nodded at her before turning back to his wife.

Fred and Daphne were soon talking, and Fred was glad that he had started to make a friend, he would need them.

Daphne was in Draco's year and Hogwarts, only a year and a half younger than him. Fred was 19, and she was just over 17 and a half, both young to join the Death Eaters.

Halfway into breakfast, the question of when Fred's allegiance would be shown to the Light, was raised by Rodolphus to Bella, and Fred and Daphne both broke off their conversation to hear the answer.

"The Dark Lord told me that it would probably be revealed either during a raid after his training, or when we take the Ministry, whenever that is."

Fred had already known, as everybody did, that the Dark had their sights set on the Ministry next. It was common knowledge among the Order, and it seemed, among the Dark.

Fred smiled happily, putting on a front, "I can't wait to see their faces when they see that I wasn't so loyal to them after all." He knew that it was expected that he have a positive reaction to his family knowing of his 'true' allegiance, but the thought of their reactions still made him sick to the stomach. They would be beyond horrified.

Bellatrix grinned at him, and Rodolphus nodded. Daphne studied him with an odd expression on her face, and Fred felt a wave of panic. He ingored it, and waited for her to return to the conversation and stop looking at him,

After breakfast, Bella lead him to a dueling room, as she called it, saying that Daphne and her trainer would be in one of the other rooms. The basic route of training would be the same, but her and Rodolphus had different methods. A lot of their training would be together, but some of it, like now, would be individual.

"Alright now, Ickle Weasley, let's start out with a nice, easy duel." Fred doubted that if it was against her it would be any semblance of easy.

He took a crude dueling stance in front of her, and bowed, as she did to him.

He was hesitant to shoot a curse at her, and so merely started walking in a large semicircle. She did the same, looking at him with barely concealed amusement.

Of course she made the first move, "Stupefy!"

He dodged, and wondered why she would use such a light, and overused curse.

He pointed his wand at her and yelled, "Bombarda!" he had used a darker, deadlier spell, hoping to impress her.

She batted it aside easily, and shot another spell at him. She cast it non verbally, so Fred had little idea what it was. He cast a shield, but thought that it might break under the curse, so dodged as well. He was glad he had dodged, for the sickly purple light beam had gone straight through the albeit weak shield, and would have hit him if he hadn't moved.

Bella and Fred dueled back and forth, for at least another hour. Fred knew that Bella was simply getting a taste for how strong he was, and where he needed work. She could have easily won and ended the duel if she wished.

When they stopped, she taught him a few dark curses, and told him to try and duel with only them.

He failed at the second duel, utterly. He wasn't very good at dark magic, at least not yet, and so, with her impatience showing, she crucioed him. It only lasted a few seconds, and then she let him up. After his short crucioing, she gave him a potion for the pain and after effects, and after he had drunk it, showed him again how to cast the spells.

He did much better the second time she showed him, and was able to, though slowly, fire them in succession.

The hours passed quickly, them dueling, and then stopping for Fred to learn another few new spells.

Around 12:00, the met back up with Daphne and Rodolphus for lunch in the dining room. Daphne had said that they had done about the same thing as Fred and Bella. According to her, since she already knew a lot of dark spells, they had dueled a lot.

After lunch, instead of going back to the dueling rooms, Bella and Rodolphus lead them both, together, down to the dungeons. As Bella said, it was to be their first lesson on how to torture. Fred felt a pit start to develop in his stomach.

Down in the dungeons, Bellatrix showed them to a cell, where a young couple, a woman and man, were chained. Fred didn't recognise them as anyone from the Order, so he assumed that they were muggles.

Gleefully, Bella turned to them and said, "Right, so your goal is to torture them, whoever gets them to beg first wins, they're muggles, so you don't need to worry for accidental magic from them, like you would with magical beings."

Daphne and Fred just looked at her, and she sighed impatiently, "Rodolphus and I will show you, but next time you'll do it on your own, you're Death Eaters now, remember." She nodded to her husband, who entered the cell with her.

For the next hour or so, Bellatrix and Rodolphus tortured the couple. Daphne didn't show it, but he could tell by her pale complexion and horrified face and, at times, look, that she was sickened by it as well as Fred. When the woman and man were both dead, missing several limbs, Fred and Daphne were both dismissed to go back to their rooms. Fred sat on his bed in his room, hands shaking. He closed his eyes, but soon opened them, unable to stand to march of images of the couple, in various states, when he closed his eyes.

He was exhausted, but unsure if he would be able to sleep, hungry but didn't know if he could stomach food, he would find out at dinner in an hour.

And it was only day one.
