Hey guys, sorry its been ages but I have been busy. Just to let you know that this whole chapter is written in Evelyn's point of view, just so there is no confusion and to prevent future confusion I have decided to just write in 3rd person or dedicate chapters to one character. Enjoy :)

As the heavy piece of material came plummeting down, what was hiding behind it this whole time finally unveiled itself. A long rail of expensive but scary looking masks were staring right back at me.

Evelyn POV

Once my coughing fit was over, I hastily got up and stood next to my sister (Who by the way was staring blankly at a wall).

"What are you…looking at?" I questioned, then suddenly I came into view of the line of masks. They kind of made you feel inferior and it made me feel quite intimidated as you don't know who could be hiding behind that mask.

I came across quite a beautiful silver one decorated with precise black vines and detailed designs around the eyes. Picking it up from the wall I ran my finger over the designs then turned the mask. Scanning the insides I managed to come across some posh lettering stating some initials.

"D…L…M? What can that stand for?"

Elizabeth suddenly came back into realisation as she quickly turned to face me.

"What did you say?"

"Look… This mask it has some initials."

Carefully, I handed the mask over to her. She ran her fingers over the mask and saw for herself the posh writing. After a couple of minutes of silence she finally spoke up.

"I'm not sure what they mean – but I think you should hold on to it." She said, giving the mask back to me. "There's some other masks as well… wait look!"

"What is it?"

She pointed her finger to another mask that was above all the others. It was a light golden colour and like the other one it had detailed vines running around it. Just below the mask was a small slab of gold that appeared to be engraved with some writing.

I could just about make out what it said – Bellatrix Lestrange

"I've heard that name before," I whispered

"What?"

"That name – Bellatrix Lestrange. It's weird I don't even know who she is?"

"No… But books do!"

"Ugh, really is that your answer to everything?"

She punched my shoulder lightly and crossed her arms.

"Well... I know that there is absolutely nothing in the library on the war, so there must be some in here."

"How do you know?"

"Well Evelyn, we have already found a newspaper from the same year, these strange mask things – what' to say that there isn't information in here!"

I shrugged my shoulders, debating whether to agree with her or not and started to browse around the room for a bookshelf of some kind.

It was a while later until I heard Elizabeth shout "FOUND ONE!"

As I wasn't really paying attention to finding a book, I was just sat there laying around with the mask. I glide across the room to where Elizabeth was perched on an elegant chair reading through a rather large, leather bound book labelled "The 2nd great wizarding war".

"Wow, that seems oddly convenient," I said uneasily; she ignored my comment and carried on.

"Listen to this…the conflicts stemming from the Dark Wizard Lord Voldemort's second rise to power after his return in 1995. Voldemort and his followers, the Death Eaters, waged a violent campaign across both the wizarding and Muggle communities, seeking to topple the Ministry of Magic and subjugate Muggle-borns, with the eventual goal of conquering the entire wizarding world, and the Muggle world along with it!" She took a deep breath in as she clearly didn't take one whilst reading this.

"So that's what the death eaters were – Voldemort's followers, skip to a chapter about Death eaters!" I instructed.

So she flipped to the first page of contents and blew the thick coat of dust away, again forming a cloud as she blew harshly.

"There page 192,"

As the pages toppled over each other, the words Death Eaters came into view along with a long paragraph…

The Death Eaters was the name given to followers of Lord Voldemort. The group primarily consisted of wizards and witches who were radical pure blood supremacists, who practised the Dark Arts with reckless abandon and without regard to or fear of wizarding law.

They often wore black hoods and masks with snake-like eye slits to cover their faces. Only the members of the inner circle of the Death Eaters had Dark Marks burned into their left forearms. It was identified as a skull with a snake protruding from its mouth and when Voldemort touched one of them, each of the Death Eaters felt it, signalling for them to Apparate to their leader's side.

An inactive Dark Mark appears as a faint mark on the inner part of the left forearm, similar to that of "a vivid red tattoo"; an active one is jet black.

"Ok..ok soo if you were on the dark side – you would have this mark and wear those masks" I asked

"Yeah, but what are they doing in hour house?"

"You're going to have to keep reading that book,"

"I think we should get going, we have been down here a long time."

I nodded my head in agreement, grabbed the mask and hid it under my robes – Elizabeth did the same with the book and we made our way out of the room

Making sure the coast was clear, we tip toed our way back to the main sector of the manner. Just as I was about to turn the corner I came face to face with one of my house elves!

"AARRGH!"

"Miss Malfoy, do calm down - it's only Bipsy!"

"It's ok, you just gave me a fright…"

"…We have been looking for young Malfoy's. Where have you been?"

Me and Elizabeth just eyed each other, unsure whether to tell her or not.

"We've been… umm" Elizabeth started but I knew that she could never have finished that sentence, so I stepped in.

"..We went to Diagon alley for a bit."

Bipsy looked a bit surprised but then carried on with what she was going to say.

"Bipsy just here to tell you that Dinner is served and Mistress and Master are awaiting you," and with that she apperated with a pop.

And that was chapter 11 - hope you all liked it! :)
