A/N: This is the chapter i have been waiting to write for ages! I'm quite happy with how it turned out, sorry about the very long break in the middle, but they are supposed to be two chapters but they are two short otherwise, and i needed a cliff hanger...
Also, please don't hate me for what happens in this chapter :)
Enjoy : = ] (I still need a better mouth for Voldy...)
Chapter 36 – The Battle At The Ministry
(Bella's POV)
Snape flooed Grimmauled Place, and Bella answered it.
'Snape, what is it?' she asked
'Potter seems to think that The Dark Lord has Black in the Department of Mysteries. I think he's gone to the Ministry, where the Death Eaters are waiting for him.'
'SIRIUS!' she yelled, 'COME HERE NOW!'
He came down the stairs quickly at the panic in Bella's voice,
'What is it Bells?'
'Harry's gone to the Department of Mysteries where the Death Eaters are, he thinks The Dark Lord has you there.'
'Get the Order,'
Snape's head vanished from the fire, and Bella and Sirius took their wands out, and cast Patronus' and sent them to the Order. Tonks was first to arrive, and Remus was next. Moody, and the others quickly followed and they apparated to the Ministry.

They all arrived at the Ministry, and they went to the Department of Mysteries, seeing the children fighting the Death Eaters. She counted the children, - Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, a boy who looked an awful lot like Frank and Alice, he must have been Neville, Bella felt a surge of guilt run through her, she looked at a girl with blonde hair, and judging by the clothes she was wearing she was most definitely a Lovegood, and Larissa.
Bella's heart seemed to stop; her thirteen year old daughter was here, fighting Death Eaters!
There were seven underage wizards and witches fighting at least ten fully trained Death Eaters.
Bella, rushed over to her daughters aid, once she realised who she was fighting.
She shot a stunning spell at him, but he blocked him. She then put a shield around Larissa, and shot a series of different spells at him, but he either dodged or blocked them all.
'Still haven't lost your technique, Bella, although you are a little rusty,'
She shot a curse at him, and red boils sprouted all over his face, she jinxed him a few more times, until he couldn't see, for the amount of spells on him, and a bat flapping on his face. 'Sure, believe what you like Rod!' She smiled sarcastically at him, and stepped closer to him. He retreated, as soon as he saw that she hadn't lost her touch at all. She had just been saving it up all these years.
She stunned him, and moved on to the next one, she didn't know who it was, must have been a new recruit. He was good, but she soon had him on the floor.
'Crucio,' she whispered, and he writhed in pain. 'Crucio,' she kept torturing him, until he was begging her for mercy. 'Crucio.'
Sirius looked over at her and saw a flicker of something in her eyes, it seemed that she sensed it too, as she stepped back a little, but didn't lift the curse.
'Well, well Bella, long time no see.' A cold voice said from behind her, Bella froze.

Bella turned around, and stared at him. She wasn't quite sure what to call him, she couldn't call him Voldemort, since, well, she didn't know, but she just couldn't. He wasn't her lord, so she couldn't call him that, so she just stood there, looking at him.
'Don't you love having his life in your hands Bella? One flick of your wand and a simple spell and he will no longer be alive. Don't you want him begging for mercy, begging for you to spare his life?' He asked,
She just stared at him, and let out a breath, he didn't know she'd been holding.
'Don't you want it? Don't you need it?'
She looked back at the still trembling man on the floor, she remembered how it had felt to torture him, how she needed to hear him scream.
'Yes.' She said simply, her throat dry,
'Kill him then,'
She turned around to look at the Death Eater, and stared into his eyes, she needed to hear him scream. She needed to hear him beg.
'Crucio!' She said, and he screamed in pain, writhing on the floor trying to escape the pain. 'Crucio!' she said again, he needed to beg her. She cursed him over, and over again, until the Death Eaters were staring at her in awe. It took a lot of energy to torture someone like that, cause them that much pain, but here she was doing it. Over and over and over again.
'P-please, p-please,'
'Please what?' she snarled
'S-st-op. P-please'
She just cursed him more.
'K-kill m-e, ma-ke th-e p-pain stop.'
So she did, 'Avada Kedavra,' she whispered, and the man stopped moving, every ounce of pain and of life, leaving his body.
She turned around to face the Dark Lord.
'Well done Bella,' he said softly,
She looked around at the Death Eaters, and at Voldemort
'Don't ever doubt me again, Roddy.' She said, smirking at him, he shook his head, and she turned around to see Sirius coming over to her.
'Belle? What's going one?'
She looked at him, and then at them. Her husband, and at the Death Eaters. What she wanted, and what she needed.
She looked at him, and Sirius could see a small tear run down her cheek, he went to brush it away, but she moved. He frowned at her, obviously confused.
'I tried Sirius, I really tried. But I can't change who I am,'
'What are you talking about Bella?'
'I'll never get rid of that part of me that belongs here, there will always be a part that belongs with you, it always has, and always will. But there's a bigger part of me, stronger, and that belongs here.'
She softly pushed him away from her, another tear running down her cheek, she went to stand by Voldemort, and he put his arm around her waist. A few years ago, Bella would have done anything for him to do that, but now? It just sickened her.
She watched as Sirius walked back towards the Order, and the children.
