I really love the idea of this, I don't even know why.

Also I enjoy changing things from canon so

enjoy that

"Nymphadora, darling." Bellatrix greeted. "I believe we were interrupted last time."

"For good reason." Remus growled.

"Yes, well, I won't be so forgiving this time." Bellatrix said. "We made a deal, Nymphadora."

The Death Eaters all moved at once, and managed to easily take control of the still-dog Sirius and take Remus' wand. It was, unfortunately, much easier to disarm Tonks. And in seconds, the alleyway was once again empty.

"I do suppose in a way this is much better." Bellatrix commented as she stood in front of them in the sitting room of Lestrange Manor. "After all, you didn't know much magic before. And now, you do. Much easier to get you to learn the spells we all use-"

"I won't kill anyone."

"Oh, but don't you see? You can, because you're just like us." Bellatrix said. "So is Sirius, if we break him too."

"I would never help the Death Eaters." Sirius snapped.

"Won't you?" Bellatrix asked, aiming her wand at Remus. "Crucio!"

Remus fell with a scream, writhing against his bonds.

"No! Stop, please!" Tonks screamed.

"Stop!" Sirius demanded. "He's done nothing, let him go!"

"Done nothing?" Bellatrix asked, staring at Sirius, but she released the spell and Remus lay silent, panting for breath. "He's a werewolf, he doesn't deserve to live."

"Yet, you have Fenrir Greyback by your side." Tonks said loudly. "If werewolves can't be trusted, why trust one?"

Bellatrix stepped over to Tonks, slapping her hard across the face. She recoiled immediately, holding her hand airborne in shock. After a moment she recovered. "You know the consequences of speaking out of turn, Nymphadora."

Tonks stared at the carpet, only looking up when Bellatrix placed a finger under her chin and tilted her face upwards. "You have to make the right choice." Bellatrix said.

"That's not going to convince us to help you.'' Sirius said. Bellatrix looked at Sirius.

"No, it may not. But perhaps if I kill one of you-"

"No, Mother!" Tonks cried. "Don't kill them. Let them go."

"Now, why would I do that? I did that last time, and you left with them. I'm not fool, Nymphadora." Bellatrix said. "No, they're better off dead."

"If you kill them, I will never help you!" Tonks cried quickly. "If you let them leave, alive and unharmed, I will stay with you."

Bellatrix walked back over to her. "No, I believe they're going to be better off dead." She decided. She stepped back over to Sirius.

"Mother, please! Let them go!"

Bellatrix spun to face Tonks again, poised as if ready to strike her again. Tonks' hand was tingling, she realised and right before Bellatrix's hand made contact, there was a bright flash in the fireplace. Fire exploded upwards, catching the drapes on fire. It instantly distracted the Death Eaters and Bellatrix, and Tonks was able to shift her hand to loosen the knife from the waist of her robes.

"Oh, fuck." Sirius gasped beside her, his eyes following the blaze. Tonks sawed the ropes from her hands, ignoring the pain when she nicked her skin. She managed to get the ropes off, and jumped up to cut through Sirius' next. His had just fallen away when Bellatrix spun back to face them.

She threw a curse just as Sirius stood up, and he was thrown backwards, landing limply a few feet away.

"No!" Tonks and Remus yelled.

"Why would you do that?" Tonks demanded.

"He was a traitor, traitors must be dealt with."

"So kill me too, Mother! If that's how it must be! I will fight against you until the day I die! Kill me if that's where I'm going anyway-"

"Nymphadora, dear, you have a choice-''

"I told you, I won't kill people!" Tonks spat.

"Darling, we don't kill people. We just get rid of those that aren't pure."

"Then kill me! Did you forget, Mother? My Dad is Muggleborn!" Tonks cried. "So kill me too! I'm not pure and I will fight against you until I die!"

Bellatrix looked stunned, and then smiled softly. "I have a better idea." She said. She waved her wand, and there was a pop as the Death Eaters vanished.

"I don't understand." Tonks said.

"Dora, you mind?" Remus asked from the floor. She turned and quickly cut away the ropes. "We need to get out of here."

"We can't leave Sirius." Tonks insisted, but Remus was already standing, and heading for the door. He tried it, but it wouldn't budge. He looked around the room desperately, coughing as the flames moved steadily towards them and the smoke thickened. "Remus!" She demanded, grabbing him by his sweater. "We can't leave Sirius!"

Remus nodded after a second, rushing over and hoisting Sirius over his shoulder. He looked around again. "If only they had left our wands-"

"I think they might in the alleyway still, I saw them drop them." Tonks responded as Remus made his way to the window, coughing.

"We're on the second floor, the garden's below us... I hope Padfoot won't be too mad..."

"What, why?" Tonks asked. "I didn't mean to set the fire, I suppose he'd probably be mad at Bellatrix-" She broke off in horror as Remus shoved Sirius' body through the window, shattering the glass. "Remus!"

He turned to her, grabbing her arm. "You'll have to trust this old werewolf." He said, pushing her none too gently out the window as well. She hit the garden, and supposed she was lucky that Remus had been right about the placement of shrubs, but still heard a sickening crack and felt pain shoot through her leg.

She heard a thud and saw Remus hadn't landed much better. He pushed himself up, his arm hanging at an odd angle.

"Remus, are you insane?" She demanded as he stepped over to Sirius.

"Quite possibly." He said, hoisting Sirius up with his good arm. "Can you walk?"

"I can try." She said, trying to push herself to her feet, but she collapsed again as the pain shot through her leg.

"I can't take both of you." Remus said.

"How are we going to get anywhere?" Tonks asked. "We don't have wands-"

"Okay, here's what we'll do. We'll conceal Sirius somewhere here- he can't go anywhere, can he? And I'll take you, we'll find a way back to Grimmauld, we'll Floo someone and send them back here to get him."

"You want to just leave him here?"

"We need to go, there's a possibility that Bellatrix will come back." Remus said, dragging Sirius out of sight. "We'll be back for him before sundown." He promised, leaning down and wrapping an arm around her midsection, pulling her up.

"How are we getting back to Grimmauld?"

"No idea."
