George hit the ground hard. He yelped at the rush of pain and quickly scattered to his feet, nervously looking around as the rest of the memory faded into view around him.

He was inside her memories.

This was it.

There was no turning back now.

He looked around at the house that had appeared around him. Shuddering at the darkness in the house. He managed to see a few bookshelves and chairs, and also a flight of stairs as he stood their confused. Moody had not told him what to do. He waited for a few moments and decided to explore, but the second he moved the door flung open. He froze as re-assessed his situation as Bellatrix entered the room. Her eyes shifted around the room uneasily as the room became illuminated by the tip of her wand.

"BLACK!" George jumped at the sudden outburst as a door flew open from behind him. Before he knew what was happening he felt something strange, and watched in horror as a man walked right through him grabbing Bellatrix.

"Send her…" George froze and backed away in awe from the scene, watching intently. "Send her with his horcrux." George found himself puzzled until the man speaking with Bellatrix gestured to her non-wand hand. When George finally noticed that Bellatrix clung to a locket. A large green gem glistening back at him from her palm.

"No! She's…she's just a child…MY child! I will not have her take it."

"BELLATRIX!" The man snapped. "It's the only way, if you care for him you will send her with the horcrux. The ministry will be here at any moment. Not to mention Rudolfus."

"NO BARTY!" George felt his gut tighten. It was Barty Crouch Jr. The death eater his father had told him and Fred about when they were little.

"Bellatrix! Don't you want him back!" She nodded and glared up at Crouch.

"Yes...But...What will you do if Marina is harmed?" Crouch froze for a moment horror crossing over his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"WHAT IF SHE IS KILLED IN THE CROSSFIRE?" George froze and felt his heart skip a beat, a sadistic smile crossing over Barty's lips.

"Mistress Black..." He pulled the locket from Bellatrix's grip and kissed her hand. "I swear on my life that I will not allow anything to harm Marina." Bellatrix was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Ok..." The two death eaters began to climb the staircase as George followed intently.

"We must be quick." Barty whispered as he gently opened the first door they came to and peering inside. "Get up."

George glanced inside and watched dumbfounded. He saw Marina's tiny figure. Even in her youth she had long black hair. It hung down from the window ceil as she lay on her side, staring out the window. George wanted to smile at the fact that she would rest on widow ceils even in her youth. But given the circumstances he couldn't. Bellatrix dashed in behind Barty, and grabbed Marina by the hair. Pulling her to her feet as the little girl yelped. George felt his fist clench as she roughly tied the little girls hair into a braid. Wrapping a poncho around her tiny shoulders.

"Barty..." The man pulled out the locket.

"Bellatrix this is our only chance." He looked down at the little girl as George noticed something in his eyes. "Marina."

"Yes..."

"There will be men here tonight. And they will be evil men...They will do anything to kill you." The little girls eyes filled with fear as George watched, mortified. Bellatrix knelt in front of her.

"Even if I am captured or killed Marina you need to stay away from them."

"But...mum..." Bellatrix slapped her.

"Marina there is no time for questions. You will do what we tell you too." The little girl shamefully looked away tears in her eyes as Bellatrix violently grabbed her hair. "Do you understand?"

"Yes...Sorry mother."

"Marina, I also want you to keep this away from them." Barty pulled out the locket as Bellatrix stood walking to the door, as Crouch pulled the locket over her head.

"Hurry we…" A loud boom interrupted Bellatrix as she turned in dismay.

"BELLATRIX! WHERE IS THAT DEVIL CHILD?" Barty kissed Marina's forehead as, George froze.

"You?" He spoke under his breath finally realizing who had impersonated Moody and forced Marina to end their relationship all that time ago. Steps where heard.

"SHE DIES TONIGHT! ALONG WITH YOU BELLATRIX!"

"Bellatrix get Marina out of here I'll try and stop Rudolfus." Marina timidly looked around in bewilderment.

"Mum..."

"Marina be quiet." Marina grabbed onto a small stuffed bear pulling it into her arms as Bellatrix snatched her up following Barty out of the room as Marina hid her face in Bellatrix's curls, the small bear hugged tightly in her arms.

"JUNIOR! GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Barty suddenly raised his wand and sent a spell flying at the scruffy man as he flew back.

"Bellatrix now!" She dashed down the stairs and out of the house as George followed her.

"Junior...just wait until the ministry gets here...Im sure you'll flee like a dog with its tail between its legs...Wouldn't want to disappoint your father." Footsteps were heard below.

"This is the Ministry." George froze after hearing Kingsley shout inside the house. Barty timidly stepped back. Locking eye contact with Rudolfus.

"Coward." Barty apparating away as Rudolfus scoffed and turned his eyes to where Bellatrix and Marina had left...

"STUPIFY!" Marina was sent flying from Bellatrix's arms and she hit a tree. Yelping as she was thrown down. George felt himself fill with fear as he ran toward her and she pulled herself up. Fearfully she looked around until she saw the bear. She ran to its landing spot and checked the little bear for injuries clinging to it lovingly as Rudolfus grabbed Bellatrix by the hair. The witch's wand was sent flying with Marina and she was left helpless against the much stronger man. He began to beat her. Bellatrix trying to fight back as much as she could. Marina turned her attention to the event as the witch's screams filled her ears.

"He can't hurt her again." Marina set down the bear and ran toward Rudolfus as George tried to grab her arm. Marina running through it as if it wasn't there.

"NO!" He fell to his knees when he remembered Mad-Eyes words.

You will be unable to alter anything. You will just have to watch the events unfold.

He watched as Marina punched Rudolfus in the back with her little fists.

"STOP! DONT HURT MUM!" Bellatrix tried to hold Rudolfus down as he turned with rage to the little girl.

"NO! MARINA RUN!" she was too late and Rudolfus grabbed Marina throwing her down and punching her like he had Bellatrix. As George watched right next to the bear tears spilling from his eyes as Marina's screams filled his ears.

"STUPIFY!" George watched as the Ministry members ran toward them. Rudolfus was the one hit, and Marina ran to Bellatrix.

"MUM! IM SCARED!" She began sobbing as Bellatrix watched the members advance toward them, turning to Marina and slapping her.

"STOP CRYING! RUN MARINA! DONT STOP FOR ANYTHING!"

"BUT MUM!" She sobbed.

"JUST DO IT!" She pushed Marina out of the way as another stunning spell hit her. Marina screaming and running away.

Kinglsey, Moody, and Gawain Robards took off after her as several other aurors incapacitated Bellatrix and Rudolfus.

Marina continued running and ducked behind a tree for a moment trying to catch her breath. George studied her and felt his gut drop as tears ran down his face.

Her nose and lip both were bloody. Her cheek was puffed out in a big purple bulge that matched numerous spots on her arms and one of her beautiful eyes was painted black.

"Love..." His heart sank knowing that she couldn't hear him as Kinglseys voice filled the woods.

"Child. Come out, you do not need to run from us. We want to help you." Marina looked over her shoulder as Kingsley and Moody came into view and she quickly went hiding behind the tree again. She looked down at the locket in her hands and stood. Slowly stepping from the tree into their view. She was shaking and tears of fright were streaming down her face. Kingsley was the first one to see her.

"Come on. We won't harm you; you don t need to be afraid." Kinglsey spoke.

"We won't let him harm you again." The deformed Auror spoke as his words sent comfort through Marina. Kinglsey knelt down and reached out his hand as Marina took a step toward him. Her little fearful eyes locked onto his big welcoming eyes.

"STUPIFY!" Gawain had reached Moody and Kingsley and once he sent the spell at Marina, she froze in panic. Turning and running. Barty's words filling her mind once more.

They will do anything to kill you.
