Bella tried her best to sneak back into the house after leaving the hospital. She shouldn't have gone, but the chance of running into the Potter's was high. Impersonating a nurse was wrong, she always wanted to be a nurse, but with a last name like Lestrange no one would ever let her be anything. She walked into the bedroom where Teddy and James were and sat near them. Both boys were sleeping, Teddy's arms protectively around James. "Hi boys."
Teddy stirred and looked at her narrowing his eyes. "What do you want?"
"I thought you might like some food." Bella said pulling two muffins from her jacket. "They're blueberry."
James sniffed crying softly next to Teddy "I want mummy." he told Teddy.
"I know." Teddy hugged him. "Why are you so nice to us?"
"I'm not like my sister." Bella told them. "She is evil, pure and simple."
"Then why stay?" Teddy asked her taking the muffin and giving some to James. James nibbled on the muffin looking at Teddy and then at Bella.
"Fear." Bella said.
"Teddy eat." James said holding his muffin up.
"Ok Jamie I'll eat."
"Promise me you'll finish those?" Bella looked at the two boys. Both nodded and she smiled "Good."
"BELLA!" Tomi yelled from somewhere in the house.
"I have to go. I'll brig you more food later." Bella said sneaking from the room. She found Tomi in the study. "You yelled?"
"Where have you been?" Tomi asked.
"I went for a walk." Bella said. "Around the grounds." she added.
"Oh?" Tomi asked.
"Yes. I needed some fresh air."
"I need you to run to the store." Tomi said.
"Fine, for what?"
"Bread. We're out."
"Send a house elf." Bella said.
"I don't want to. I'm sending you." Tomi said.
"Fine!" Bella stomped her foot and turned a smile on her face. As she was leaving Greyback was entering. She gulped and ran from the house pulling her cloak firmly around her.

Ginny held Lily close as she stared at her husband "What?"
"We found them Gin!" Harry laughed hugging the two of them. "I'm meeting my informant in just a few minutes."
"What if it's a trap?!" Ginny exclaimed.
"I'll have Aurors stationed all over. I already thought of that."
"Alright. Just come home to me, and bring our boys." Ginny said kissing him deeply.
Harry kissed her back and kissed Lily's forehead "I'll bring them home, Gin." with that he left the room and walked out into Muggle London.
"Harry!" Ron shouted running over to him.
Harry turned and smiled "Hey mate!"
"So where are we headed?"
"The old fountain on Main St."
"Alright." Ron said smiling "So who is this informant?"
"Lucius' niece Bellania."
"Bellania? What kind of weird name is that?" Ron asked as they reached the fountain.
"One that I have hated since the day I was born." Bellania lowered her hood.
"Sorry." Ron said looking at her.
"It's quite alright." Bella said. "Now then, I must hurry. I have to get back."
"Where are they?" Harry asked.
"In a cottage outside Devon. There's a rose bush outside, blue roses not red. Come at sun down. My sister is not one to mess with. And..." she shuddered "Greyback is getting anxious."
"Greyback?!" Ron and Harry hissed.
"He's awful, promise you'll kill him." Bella looked at the two men "I am not my mother. I'm nothing like them." she pulled her left sleeve up to show a lack of mark. "I ran away before anyone could mark me."
"How old are you?" Ron asked.
"27." Bella said. "My sister is 32. She was born in 1977."
"Why did she take my boys?"
"She wants you to suffer the way we have."
"How have you two suffered?" Ron asked.
"Your mum killed our mum. I don't miss my mother or my father for that matter."
"Your father is...." Ron started.
"In Azkaban, I know." Bella said "That's why Tomi is so bent on getting him out."
"We'll come tonight to get the boys."
"Thank you. I do my best to make sure they are ok, but they need their parents." Bella smiled "I need to go, before my sister kills me. Or Greyback for that matter."
"I don't understand." Ron said looking at her.
"My sister offered me to him as a play thing." Bella said choking up. "I have scars in places that are not visible and I am scarred for life."
"I'm sorry." Ron said looking at her. "We'll do our best to make sure they see justice."
"Auror Weasley no offense, but your best is not good enough."
"I promise you as a father that we will bring those two to justice" Harry said.
"That I will believe. Now I really must go. Your sons eat a lot." she smiled.
"You feed them?" the two asked.
"When I can." Bella smiled.
"Alright be careful." Harry said.
"I will." Bella smiled and apparated away.
"So, we go tonight?" Ron asked.
"We go tonight." Harry said.
Bella came out in a small alley just outside a small general grocer. She walked inside and looked over the shelves grabbing a loaf of bread. She passed the produce and picked up a few apples. She figured the boys might like those. Passing the sweets aisle she picked up a chocolate bar as well. Walking to the ceckout she smiled at the clerk. "Hello."
"Back again." the guy smiled.
"It's been a few days."
"Couldn't stay away from me huh?" he smirked.
Bella blushed and looked at his name badge "Ryan, you know I'm a sucker for the flirtacious guy but please tone it down."
"Go out with me then."
"You know that's not an option." she said sadly.
"Bella I get off in an hour please?"
"Ryan..."
"Please?"
"I'll try."
"Great." he smiled and finished bagging her items.
Bella took the bag and walked out pocketing the apples, and chocolate bar. She walked into the cottage only to be pulled into a room by her hair "Let me go!" she screamed.
"I've missed you my little pet." Greyback breathed licking her ear "I'm going to play with you now and you are going to be a good girl."
