"My lord...what news have you called me here for?" Voldemort stroked Bellatrix's hair a smirk decorating his face as she stared up at him. "My lord I haven't seen you in weeks what has happened to our daughter." He looked toward the grave of his father.
"She has perished." Bellatrix froze for a moment before collapsing onto the floor a shrill cry reaching Voldemort's ears. "Fix yourself Bellatrix. She deserved her punishm..."
"She was just a child!" Voldemort raised his hand rage flashing through his eyes as Bellatrix winced, he leaned toward her.
"Bellatrix...Do you trust my judgment?" she whimpered, tears stinging her eyes.
"Y...yes my lord."
"Then calm yourself and know that our daughter was a traitor...joining sides with the Potter boy...making friends with mud-bloods...and falling in love with a blood traitor."
"Does Barty know of her death yet my lord?"
"No but he shall know soon enough...now come Bellatrix my presence is needed at the Malfoy Manor. I would very much like to speak with Draco before he departs for Hogwarts tomorrow."
And with that two black clouds shot into the sky.
(AN: Marina is alive, however Voldemort and the other death eaters think she's dead)
"George, I have to leave tomorrow." she felt George pull her closer, the two lying on the couch. "I'm going to miss you so much." he gave her a sad smile kissing her on the forehead.
"I'm going to miss you to Love. Its going to be quite odd without you." They sat in silence for a moment, there arms still wrapped around eachother until Marina timidly broke the silence.
"George...now that you're over 18...are you going to join the Order?"
"Fred and I haven't decided yet...And on top of that Mum would throw a fit if we did so probably no. We can still assist the others though…why?"
"I dunno just wondering...But i'm kind of afraid George...to go back."
"Why?"
"Malfoy's going to be attending..."
"What does that matter?"
"He's probably going to tell my father that I'm alive...and then I...I don't want him to come after me again."
"Marina...He won't, and even if he does Hogwarts is very secure and there's no way he can get to you."
"I suppose."
"Marina when you were little what was it like around the death eaters?" she paused for a long time before answering.
"It...It was awful...but George I don't want to talk about it..."
"Are you sure?" she nodded and hugged him tighter snuggling her head into his chest the two eventually falling asleep.
Tonks crept into the dueling room. It was the only place she hadn't looked for Marina and Moody was going to have a fit if she didn't find her…fast…
"Rina?" she walked in and saw Marina and George laying together on the couch in the dueling room as she grinned ear to ear and creeping up behind the couch she placed her hands on the back of the couch and pushed dumping Marina and George on the floor.
"Bloody Hell." George shouted as he sat up and looked up at Tonks. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" she smirked.
"I had to get you guys up somehow."
"Blimey...Love are you ok?" She stood.
"Yes I'm fine."
"Rina we have to hurry we leave in 20 minutes."
"Fine...I'll be back ok George."
"Ok."
Marina yawned while she finished packing her belongings in her suitcase. Her pigmy puff hopped onto her shoulder as Tonks burst through the door.
"Let's go Rina!" she picked Marina's suitcase and sent it down the stairs with magic.
"Love…" George appeared in the door.
"Tonks I'll catch up ok." she looked from her to George.
"Don't be too long." Al (The pigmy puff) hopped onto Tonks's shoulder and the two of them left. George stepped forward and wrapped Marina tightly in his arms the two snogging for a moment.
"...Sorry I can't write to you, the order doesn't want us sending out letters."
"It's ok George..." She placed her hand on his cheek. "I love you." he pulled her close in one last embrace.
"I love you to Marina." A knock arose.
"Marina hurry we have to leave." Alastor called from the door.
"You should probably change into your robes."
"But what if I see him?"
"Who?"
"Malfoy."
"Rina he's going to see you eventually but don't worry it's your last year."
"Thank goodness."
"Are you excited for training over break?"
"I suppose...I'm not sure if I should be excited or scared though...I dont really feel up to dueling Alastor..."
"Its not that bad..."
"Tonks...dont lie."
"Ok...its bad..." A knock arose in the small carriage as Tonks stood and went to open the door. Two familiar voices reaching Marina's ears.
"Umm...Luna and I got lost but uh...your Tonks right?"
"Neville of course she's Tonks...M'am is Marina in here?" Tonks smiled.
"Yep." she let them both in as they embraced Marina, Luna speaking for both of them.
"We thought you were dead Marina, gave us quite a scare after the battle." she looked at her arm. "Curious...how is it feeling?"
"Fine for now. It hurts occasionally but it should be healed in a week or so."
"That is quite good."
"Have either of you seen Harry?" Tonks and Marina shook their heads no as Luna cocked her head to the side in thought.
"Very strange...he disappeared a few minutes before we came looking for you Marina."
"Odd where could he have gone?" Tonks asked as Neville cut in.
"I think it was to hide from Romilda." Marina's gaze narrowed.
"Why?"
"She came and asked him to sit with her and her friends but he refused and she kept passing our cart winking at him."
"She disgusts me..." Luna stood a pair of odd looking glasses decorating her face.
"I'll be right back."
"Ok."
"Neville you go ahead Marina and I will go check for Luna."
"You sure?"
"Yeah."
"Ok see you guys." Tonks and Marina then entered the train again.
"Ah Marina, Tonks. Hello..." they had finally tracked Luna down to the seats at the very back of the bus.
"Luna we have to go the feast..."
"Homenum Revelio." A cloak flew across the room, revealing Harry. He was unconscious and had a broken nose.
"My goodness!" Tonks knelt next to him. "Rennervate." He quietly sprung awake and looked up at Tonks.
"Tonks! Thank goodness! I saw him! He's planning something!"
"Harry who is?"
"Malfoy!" Tonks sigh.
"Harry I would love to hear what happened but we need to leave." He nodded and stood grabbing his nose as Tonks swatted his hand away aiming her wand. "Episky." The sickening crack that followed made Marina's arm throb in pain.
"Ah!" Harry grabbed his nose.
"Better." Harry nodded as Tonks led the group out of the train and toward the castle.
"Mr. Filch I can vouch for Mr. Malfoy." Malfoy turned and saw Marina his entire face lighting up in shock and relief. Marina looked down.
"Nice face Potter! And you Marina... nice arm..."
"Tonks..." Flitwick walked over.
"I've been looking all over for you three! Names!"
"Mr. Flitwick... You've known me for 5 years..."
"No exceptions Potter!"
"Sir I can vouch for these three."
"Ah! Of course Nymphadora. Go ahead through. Forgive me!"
Marina took a seat in front of Neville.
"Ah Marina! Did you find Luna?"
"Yep and Harry too."
"That's good...where's Tonks?"
"Patrolling." A loud thump was heard as the students turned their attention to Dumbledore.
"Good Evening. Now as you know, each and every one of you was searched upon your arrival here tonight and you have the right to know why. Once there was a young man, who like you, sat in this very hall, walked this castle's corridors, slept under its roofs. He seemed to the entire world a student like any other. His name... Tom Riddle." Marina felt numerous sets of eyes staring at her back as murmurs filled the table. "Today, of course, he's known all over the world by another name, which is why, as I stand looking out upon you all tonight, I'm reminded of a sobering fact: Every day, every hour, this very minute, perhaps, dark forces attempt to penetrate this castle's walls. But in the end, their greatest weapon... is you. Now off to bed." Marina stood and walked toward the dorm.
"There she is..."
"Why is she here!"
"Dumbeldores wrong dark forces already penetrated the castle."
"Marina!" Tonks ran up to her quickly noticing her vacant expression. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..."
