Tessa: Hey guys! I think we are finally getting back into a regular(ish) updating schedule! YAY! Things at school are starting to settle down...I just wrote a Gallagher Girls one-shot if anyone is interested let me know in a review or a PM...I'm also working on a hilarious Harry Potter one shot I will be posting soon (my goal is by the end of the month) and I just started a PJO fanfic but I'm going to write a lot of it so I'm not writing as I post, because I hate that if I get bad writer's block then I can't update so...yeah! I hope you enjoy, and reviews make my day! Everytime I get one I forward it to Olivia and we virtually scream with joy...one more thing: what do y'all think about an avengers fanfic? I've had a couple of ideas floating around for quite some time now...let me know if you are interested!

Olivia: Hi! As usual, thanks for reading and please review. Your reviews mean so much to us. Seriously, every time we get a review Tessa forwards it to me and we just email back and forth about it for a while like "YAAAAAAYYY". Anyways, here's the chapter. Little bit of evil filler for you. Well, not really filler because it's majorly leading into the next chapter, which is important, but…. oh whatever. Here it is.

Chapter 10, by Olivia

Molly Weasley POV

It's been a day since I received the video, and I am torn apart, wracked with guilt for not having gone. But the last time I came face-to-face with Bellatrix Lestrange, my daughter almost died. I can't watch something like that again. I need to go talk to Ron.

I Apparate onto Ron and Hermione's driveway, walk up to the door and ring the bell. Hermione answers, grim-faced.

"We were just about to owl you. We've received further communication from Bellatrix after I informed Kingsley and the rest of the Ministry of the situation."

Oh, no. They had better be safe, or so help me I will hunt Bellatrix to the ends of the earth until she pays.

On the kitchen counter is a small open box. I steel myself and look inside. In the center is an audio recording, and surrounding it are bunches of muted red hair. Lily's.

"Oh…" I gasp in horror, and fear grips me as I sit down, trying to stop the fierce pounding in my head and the dark spots swimming in front of my eyes.

Tom Lestrange POV

A distant voice echoes through the darkness.

"Tom? Tom, wake up!"

I have to wake up.

I have to wake up.

I have to…

I…

And the darkness envelopes me again.

Molly Weasley POV

The three of us stand around the box like it is about to explode. Carefully, Hermione steps forward and reaches into the box, takes out the recording and hits play.

"As much as I appreciate the blood traitor, the terms of our agreement have not changed," comes Bellatrix's voice. Although I expected it, the sound still sends a jet of fury through me. A few seconds pass before I make myself listen again.

"Also, you will tell the Ministry to call off their investigation, or the children will be coming home all right- in pieces."

Then, her voice turns from threatening to a pleasant tone I know from experience to be even more dangerous.

"Now, to make things clear, let's end with a little song, shall we?"

And Lily's screams fill the air.

Tom Lestrange POV

I see a small light against the blackness. I walk towards it, but I can barely move. It's as if my feet are weighed down, pulling me away from the light I so want to reach. I hear the echo of my mother's voice saying "blood traitor", and then a sound I've heard only once before but will never forget. The sound of Lily Potter's scream.

When I hear that, I break into a full sprint towards the light. My legs burn, but I don't care. I have to get to Lily. The light fills my vision, and I wake up, gasping. I try to sit up, but a rush of pain shoots through me and I fall back onto grass. How did I get here? My last memory is of hitting the rocks. I feel a surge of anger as I remember that that was my mother's doing. She tried to kill me. It almost worked.

A tall shadow looms over me, and I panic for a moment before I see who it is.

"James?"

He looks down, surprised.

"You're awake?"

"Just woke up. How long was I out?"

"It's around midnight, as far as I can tell."

I suddenly remember the terrible sound of Lily's scream. She's been alone with my mother for 18 hours. My mother's voice that I heard comes back to me. "Blood traitor." That's what I am now, I guess, but I don't think she was referring to me. And Lily isn't pure-blood. Something about her tone was different- and then I remember where I heard it before. In the video. Wait a second- video, "blood traitor"… she wouldn't be asking about anyone she already asked for. So that means- oh crap.

"James, where's Albus?" I ask slowly.

"He and Rose are asleep. I.." he doesn't go on, but I know what kept him awake. He was the oldest, he was supposed to keep his family safe. But his sister and cousin are still taken by my mother. He has no idea what is happening to them. But I do. I need to tell them both.

"We're going to need to wake him up."

He doesn't question it, just leaves to wake Albus. When they come back, Albus glares at me, like "What did you wake me up for?", only with a little more hate. He opens his mouth to speak, but I beat him to it.

"Okay, so this is going to sound a little crazy, but while I was unconscious, I heard voices. I could hear what was happening up there. And, well-," I take a deep breath and make myself say it. "They have your mother."

There we go, just a little bit of evil for you!

BalletBookworm: Nooo, you did not just call me an Octavian! I'm evil, but I'm not an Octavian! And I am updating that late because life is hectic and homework takes up to much time.

fangirl4ever99: Thank you, and definitely, it's almost impossible to have a HP fic without Bellatrix Crucio-ing and/or murdering someone.
