Harry Potter and the Grim Mishap
Chapter 9
July 8, 1991, Tonks Residence
Trixie slowly started waking up very groggy and she also had a massive headache for some reason. As she tried to move, only to realize that her arms and legs were bound. Trixie began struggling while wondering where she was, only to slowly regain the memories of trying to attack Nymphadora and attacking Narcissa, Andromeda, and Amelia. Trixie stopped struggling and groaned at cursed under her breath about the slip of insanity as she thought she was no longer in danger of slipping back into the mind of the psychotic Death Eater.
Trixie began looking around the room and saw that Andromeda and Amelia had their wands pointed at her, ready for anything. She couldn't help but say, "I'm not shocked that Amelia would have me tied down, but I never expected my dear sister to buy into the blood purity is carried through the family tradition."
Smirking that she got everyone to blush at that, Trixie soon noticed that Nymphadora was hiding behind her mother, looking very scared of her aunt. Trixie looked at Nymphadora and said, "I am so sorry Dora. I am also sorry if I scared you and possibly hurt you. Just know that I would never hurt you in any way if I was in control."
Nymphadora looked at Trixie for a moment before looking at her mother. Seeing this, Andromeda looked at her daughter and said, "Bella is telling you the truth. This was why I had you stay with Amelia for a while. Even though your aunt has been getting a lot better, she still has her moments where she turns back into the infamous Bellatrix Lestrange."
Nymphadora looked at her aunt and said, "I won't say that I am fine with it, but I can understand that you were not in control of yourself."
With that, Trixie nodded before waiting to be untied. Once she was able to get up, she immediately went to the loo to take care of her needs. Once she was out, she walked into the living room and saw that everyone was sitting around and watching her carefully. Trixie sighed and sat down, listening to the others when she heard Nymphadora ask, "Um, would you be willing to teach me how to duel? I want to become an Auror when I get out of Hogwarts and I watched to easily fight in a way that I want to defend against."
Trixie looked over to Andromeda who looked shocked but nodded carefully, wondering what would happen. With that, Trixie looked at Nymphadora and said, "Possibly, but you have to understand that it will be after you graduate and we can spend the summer helping you train. Understand that I will not be the only one to help train you though."
Soon Narcissa spoke up, "I can help you with your balance and more covert type training if you would like me to. I am also sure your mother will teach you some healing spells."
Nymphadora saw her mother nod and looked at Narcissa and asked, "Aunt Narcissa, what do you are going to give me covert training?"
Andromeda smiled and said, "Cissy here is essentially what one would call a Black Widow. She is the best as poisoning and getting information from someone without having anything connected to her or even someone remembering her."
Nymphadora thought about it before nodding and accepting her Aunt's offer. The rest of the day was spent talking and allowing Nymphadora to get to know her Aunt Trixie. Remembering what Tonks use to say her life was like during her fourth year and after graduating from Hogwarts, Trixie looked at Nymphadora and asked, "Why do you hide what you normally look like?"
Nymphadora looked extremely shocked and afraid when Trixie continued, "If you are changing your appearance to impress someone, then it is not worth it. If they cannot accept you for being yourself, then they are worthless and should have nothing to do with you. You are above many with the blood of House Black flowing through your veins."
With tears in her eyes, Nymphadora began to change to her original form and soon Trixie understood why she never truly liked her base form. She looked exactly like Trixie; the only difference was that Nymphadora had much softer features, soft storm-grey eyes, and light brown hair instead of black. Soon she heard Nymphadora say, "I change my features because everyone is afraid of me because I look like the Blacks. I hated not having friends so I hid my natural features from everyone."
Andromeda and Narcissa got up and hugged Nymphadora along with Trixie. A little while later, Narcissa got Lucretia from the second guest room and said that they would visit once a week for her checkups per Andromeda's orders.
Lucretia had given Andromeda and Trixie a hug goodbye and shyly waved to Nymphadora before the two Malfoys disappeared through the floo. A while later after that, Amelia left with Nymphadora, who wanted to return home tomorrow.
July 18, 1991, Saint Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries
Amelia, Mad-Eye Moody, and a few other Aurors escorted both Andromeda and Trixie to the long-term ward where a very angry Augusta Longbottom and a scared looking Neville Longbottom were waiting on the outside of the room. Andromeda was the first to enter the room, who then applied multiple spells and potions to flush out any of the other potions from both Frank and Alice Longbottom. From there, Neville and Augusta were led into the room who watched Trixie enter. She looked and quietly talked to Augusta, saying, "I believe that both your son and daughter-in-law are suffering from something called Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I would like you to have Neville and yourself wait just outside the door."
Augusta then scoffed and said, "I bet you wish to torture them more. I won't have it. You may have fooled others but I see you for the twisted filth you are."
Trixie sighed and said, "I want to let out my infamous cackle, and once I do that, I would like young Mister Longbottom to cry out for his parents. I believe that this may be what they need to wake them up, so to speak."
Augusta looked like she wanted to protest but Neville looked at Trixie and asked, "Do you think this can help my parents?"
Trixie sighed and said, "I don't know. While it could help them, I only ask that you do not get your hopes up. I am not sure of that night and I cannot tell you until I actually know something."
Not long after the Augusta, who was discretely being scanned by Andromeda, and Neville where outside of the door, Trixie let out her infamous cackle which was soon followed by Neville crying out for his parents. Alice soon snapped up and tried to get out of the bed, only to be caught by Trixie. Andromeda was soon called, along with the Aurors, who were shocked to see that Alice was trying to escape Trixie's grasp. Andromeda whispered in Trixie's ear, who stunned Augusta, and said, "Andromeda confirmed that Augusta is most likely on a potion that is causing her to hurt young Mister Longbottom."
Amelia nodded and had a flushing drought given to Augusta. Neville was shocked to see his mother awake and trying to get to him but was soon led out by Trixie. He looked up scared at the dark witch, only to hear her say, "Your mother will be taken care of and watched by Aurors trusted by Amelia and Mad-Eye until she is released. I can only say that I am sorry for any part I had to play in them being put here for so long."
Neville shocked Trixie by hugging her and thanking her for waking up his mother. Andromeda walked out and said, "Your mother is awake and is slowly being brought up to speed of what she has missed. She is asking to see her son."
Neville quickly ran in and soon Andromeda said, "Frank is a little worse but he is at least conscious now. He may be here for a lot longer but he is at least responsive now. Alice is going to be checked out at the end of the month at the earliest. Augusta is getting cleaned of both spells and potions that have been added to her over the past ten years. You did a good thing here Bella."
Trixie nodded and knew she had helped Neville so he would be able to grow up loved and happy. Now all she needed to do was find a way to meet young Harry Potter. She knew that the best chance would be to meet him was at Gringotts. With everything planned out, she allowed herself to glance at a smiling and happy Alice and Neville Longbottom.
Here is Chapter 9. I hope you are all enjoying the story so far and I apologize as my class schedule has been changed on me, making it harder to write at the moment. I am also trying to keep up and finish the other stories I have started.
