Disclaimer: I do not own the world of Harry Potter; I just manipulate the characters into doing what I want, when I want, and how I want, no matter how they protest.

A/N Study, study, stud, store, story, yes much better. I'm sorry this took so long to get up, blame my wife!

Thank you for my reviews, they made me so happy. I'm very glad that you all are enjoying my story.

On with the show!

Bellatrix followed the girl inside. The house was small but comfortable. There was a small couch, a set of end tables that was covered in books, a lounge chair that was also covered in books, and parchment was scattered across the floor.

"It's a mess, I know, I was doing homework before I went outside to smoke. My name is Katrina by the way." The girl spoke as she walked around the room, collecting the bits of parchment, throwing them on the end table. She pushed the books off the chair onto the floor, the proceeded to kick them into the corner. "Would you like something to drink?"

"No thank you," Bellatrix looked around the small room, it didn't look like the wizarding houses in England, it had a number of things that Bellatrix had never laid eyes on before, "do you have a way I could get a message home?"

"Not a very fast one I'm afraid."

"What do you mean?" Bellatrix asked in a worried voice.

"You'll have to send it through the muggle mailing system if you have an address, unless you know someone with a telephone."

Bellatrix looked extremely confused. She didn't know any wizards that used the muggle systems, except maybe, her eyes widened in sudden realization, "Andromeda," she spoke in a whisper.

"What?" Katrina looked at Bellatrix, eyebrows raised slightly.

"My sister, Andromeda Tonks, she might have a telephone, probably, her husband is a muggle-born," Bellatrix's voice of full of excitement, like she had just made a great discovery.

Katrina nodded, walking over to a thin box with strings sticking out of the side; she opened the lid and the black material under the lid light up to a screen with pictures on it. She started moving her hands along the bottom ledge of the box, making the pictures on the screen change. "Andromeda Tonks, you said?

Bellatrix nodded, walking to where Katrina was. "What is that?"

"A computer, well a laptop actually, the best one out right now."

"Uh huh, and what does it do?"

Katrina looked up at Bellatrix, shock written all over her face. "Really?"

Bellatrix didn't answer, just glared.

"It is connected to the internet," she motioned to the seat next to her, Bellatrix sat watching the screen, "The internet connects muggles all over the world. It also has a lot of data bases that will help us find your sister, if she is listed. Do you know her husbands name?"

"Ted Tonks. His family is muggles. If you can't find him, maybe you can find them."

"Ted? Is that short for something?"

"Theodore I think, all I really know is that he was murdered a while back."

"That helps, where did they live? Britain?"

"Yes, why does that help?"

"Online obituary, I can look him up, find his obituary, they probably would list his parents if they are still alive and his wife."

Bellatrix looked surprised, "Muggles really have figured out how to live with out magic haven't they?"

"Yeah, they are pretty cleaver." Katrina mumbled, obviously paying more attention to the box in her lap than Bellatrix. She continued to push buttons and move her hand around for several minutes while Bellatrix watched.

"How long does something like this normally take?" Bellatrix questioned.

"It depends on what I can find, I might not be able to find anything at" she stopped suddenly looking at the screen smiling. "Found them, Andromeda's address and telephone number." Katrina pulled out a small device from her pocket, opened it and started pushing buttons on the bottom pad. "Do you think it'd be a good idea to call now?"

"I have no idea, can't hurt. Can it?" Bellatrix asked.

"No, do you know how to use this?"

Bellatrix shook her head quickly. She'd never heard of these muggle devices, much less used one.

"Ok, it's not hard. I'll get it going for you; all you have to do is talk. Ready?"

"Yes," Bellatrix straightened herself and adjusted her hair.

Katrina pushed two buttons on the device and a ringing sound filled the small room.

"Hello?" A voice sounded out of the device causing Bellatrix to jump.

"Hello my name is Katrina Owens, I am looking for Andromeda Tonks."

"This is she, I don't believe I know you."

"No ma'am you don't know me, I have someone here that would like to talk to you, and her name is Bellatrix Lestrange."

Bellatrix looked at the device wearing a confused expression, she couldn't see Andromeda. She spoke slowly "Andi?"

"Bella!" the voice boomed out of the device, "where are you? Are you all right? Everyone has been so worried!"

"It's a confusing story Andi. There was a portkey on Hagrid's roof that brought me to" Bellatrix paused looking at Katrina, "where am I again?"

"The United States Virgin Islands." Katrina answered more into the device than to Bellatrix.

"What?" Andromeda voice yelled. "How, in the name of Merlin, did this happen?"

"That's a good question. Look Andi, you have to find a way for me to get back home."

"I will Bella, I will. I have to go now, I told Nymphadora I would tell her as soon as I heard anything about you."

"Is she alright?" Bellatrix's voice was full of worry and anxiety.

"She is in perfect health Bella, don't worry about her, she's just worried about you. Just be careful. We will find a way to get you home."

Katrina spoke to the device, "Bellatrix will be with me and I will always have this phone on me if you need to get a hold of her. However, we can not stay on this island, tomorrow I am due to start heading back to my school in America."

"That's fine. I will call again soon. Oh, and I'm sure you will be getting a call from Nymphadora. Goodbye Bellatrix."

"Goodbye Andromeda."
