CHAPTER 25

VOLDEMORT'S LAIR

"Sirius, I need a wand-shake for the doorliues charm on Uncle Alphard's Beach House," said Bella when Sirius was talking to Remus about the recent Order meeting.

"Here, my dearest cousin," said Sirius.

"Are you coming Regulus?" asked Bella

"No cousin, I have had enough. You have fun ." said Regulus smiling

"Can I come?" asked Peter

The four boys there inwardly cursed Peter and then Severus said, "Peter, I wanted to ask you details about patrol on Spinner's End. You know my house is there. And Yaxley and Notts often stay there."

Peter at once became excited and started telling him how he was with Moody, forgetting about torturing girls.

Bella left alone. Voldemort said seeing Lucius entering ," Lucius, I heard your wedding date with Narcissa had been fixed. Indeed the purest bond between two pure-blood families."

"Yes, My Lord. That's why I have to give you first invitation for this delightful occasion," said Lucius happily.

"Indeed, I would like to bless you two on your wedding day," said Voldemort.

"My Lord, Narcissa also asked me to request from you that she may be excused for few weeks for wedding preparation. She said that the function worthy of Dark Lord may be impossible but she wanted to try her best."

Sirius and Regulus knew Narcissa wont say that but were still impressed by Lucius silver tongue which had affect even on Voldmeort.

"Well ,well, ask Narcissa not to burden herself too much on my account, for she will be soon precious Death Eater bride," said Voldemort happily.

Then everybody started discussing the wedding. Lucius invited Remus and Severus personally, as he knew they were among favourites of Voldemort.

SIRIUS'S BEACH HOUSE

Bella entered the house to find the two girls tied to the pillars. She sneered on seeing their condition. They looked famished and there were several bruises all over their body thanks to the Regulus and Severus's magic.

"Looks like those two have been doing a good job," laughed Bella.

Bella untied the girls and kicked Jessica remembering how she had kicked her. Jessica let out a sigh. The boys had asked them not to be stubborn like they were in Voldemort's lair because they were given task of breaking them.

"Looks like they did break you," said Bella happily and proudly.

"Not so stiff now, are you?" Bella continued.

Bella pointed her wand at Joanne and said,"Crucio." Joanne started screaming. Joanne seeing this as good opportunity kept screaming and crashed with the display case holding strange items which Bella had never seen, boys had put the display case there that displayed tasers. The glass of the display case broke. Joanne, however, acted like she had almost fainted. But she had not managed to grab the taser.

Bella laughed and now performed the same curse on Jessica who just like Joanne crash with the same display case and succeeded in getting the taser. She then also acted like being fainted.

Bella started to laugh, and while she was ignorantly laughing, Jessica stood up by the support of pillar and pointed Taser at Bella.

Bella on seeing that laughed more loudly and said, " You still have that much energy, bitch." Before she could point her wand at Jessica again, Jessica fired the taser. Bellatrix was now shocked both by surprise and electricity. She was now lying unconsciously on the floor. They quickly went to the game room and grabbed broomsticks.

Both girls than towards the door which was like Regulus and Severus had said, open.

They flew out on the skies towards their home.

James, their emergency backup, who was watching all this under his invisibility cloak, looked impressed while holding the door open.

Then he apparated to Ministry, too.
