So the shield was completely broken now. Death eaters came from everywhere, invading the castle. There were so many of them.
Spells from every colour were shot from everywhere, it was such a chaos. Students, teachers, members of the order, death eaters and other creatures were fighting and running all over the place.
You could say Bella was lucky because the death eaters and the people on the other side didn't tried to kill her. The death eaters thought she was one of them, and the students and most of the members of The Order Of The Phoenix knew she wasn't on their side.
Bella kept looking around for enemies while Hermione took a glance on the map to see where Harry and Ron were.
"Let's go!" She said and started running with map on hand.
Bella and Hermione ran up three floors, in record time. Bella was the first to see them, they had just finished fighting against a death eater.
"We have them!" Hermione exclaimed when they were close enough.
Hermione took the fangs out of her bag being extremely careful to not get poison with them, and gave one to each of them.
"We have to find the snake now." Bella said.
"Yeah, it must be with him." Harry said.
"Now we just have to stay alive and look for it." Ron said.
"Not really."
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
"We can look in the map where he is." Bella said.
"You're brilliant!" Harry said smiling at her.
Hermione gave Harry the map back. "I solemnly swear that I'm up to…"
Their conversation was interrupted by a spell almost hitting Harry on the head. Bella jumped to the side and shot a spell at the death eater.
"Thanks."
"Don't even mention it."
Another spell was shot, almost hitting Ron this time, before they could looked up to see who shot it and to defend themselves they heard a sick, loud laugh, which Bella just knew too well.
"Hi darling." Bellatrix Lestrange said to Bella, in such a fake motherly way.
"Hello mother." Bella said really coldly.
Bellatrix shot another spell at them, which Bella blocked effortless.
"I finally meet you." Bellatrix said to Ron. "I was dying to meet you." She laughed loudly. "We're family now, I assume."
This time Bella shot a spell at her mother, Bellatrix stopped it and just smiled at her daughter.
"Oh darling, you're so rude, I'm having a decent talk with my son-in-law." And as she finished she shot a spell at Bella.
Then both Bellatrix Lestranges kept shooting spells at each other, they didn't even say a word, they didn't even blink, they had their eyes set on the other.
Ron, Harry and Hermione didn't know what to do, they just kept watching the show. Until, another two death eater attacked them. Harry was fighting one while Hermione was fighting the other and Ron was just there, looking everything like an idiot.
"Hmm, it looks like all these years weren't in vain." Bellatrix said. "They have taught you well." She was a bit out of breath.
Bella said anything, she just kept shooting spells at her and trying to stop or get away from the way of her mother's spells.
"You won't see another day darling." Bellatrix said in the same fake, sweet, motherly way. "I always knew you would be a disappointment, a disgrace to our family, to The Dark Lord." She shot another spell. "I never wanted you! But everybody convinced me it was a good idea, having someone to take my place when I'll be gone or your father."
Bella didn't show it, her face was serious and emotionless, like she had been taught, to not show any emotion. But she was dying inside, she felt like she had been stabbed right in the heart multiple times. Yes, her mother and father were bad people, but she couldn't help it, she loved them, and all those things her mother was saying hurt like anything before, for Bella, they hurt worse than the Cruciatus curse.
"You don't even deserve to be a Lestrange." Bellatrix went on. Bella had muted her for a bit, but now she was yelling at her. "I hate you."
After that everything became numb. Bella blinked and when she opened her eyes she didn't hear anything, the yelling, the spells being shot, the walls breaking down and falling to the floor, everything was quiet.
And everything was blurred too. She didn't see anything clearly, not Ron, not the Death eaters, only her mother. Everything was going in slow mode as well.
Then Bella felt something hit her in her stomach. She landed against a wall, but that didn't hurt at all compared to what her mother said.
"You're weak." She said and laughed. "Don't worry dear, your husband will join you soon."
Harry and Hermione couldn't help her, they were trying desperately to help her but the death eaters they were fighting kept shooting spells at them, and Ron was being held by Rabastian Lestrange, Bella's uncle.
Bella knew what was next so she smiled a bit and slowly closed her eyes and waited.
"Avada Keda…"
Some seconds passed and nothing else happened, Bella then opened her eyes, wondering why her mother hadn't finished saying the spell. Then she saw a blonde in front of her with his wand pointing at something, then she turned around to her left and saw her mother laying on her stomach on the floor, she looked at them, smiled like a mad person, stood up in a second, and ran away.
Draco made sure she wasn't coming back before kneeling in front of Bella.
"Are you okay?" He asked her looking at her.
Bella only nodded.
Draco stopped the bleedings she had, specifically one very ugly that was on the left side of her head. He took her hand and helped her up.
"Thanks."
"Anytime." Draco said smiling, glad she was okay.
"Love!" Ron yelled, he was about 40 feet away from them.
Draco had attacked Rabastian before attacking Bellatrix so he wouldn't help her and attack Draco, and in the process he let Ron free.
"I've to go." Draco murmured and rushed away.
"Thanks Draco." Bella called.
"Oh My God." Ron said hugging her. "I'm sorry, I wanted to help you, I'm such a…"
"No you're not." Bella interrupted.
"Yes, I am. I couldn't even protect my wife."
Then they were joined by Hermione and Harry.
"We must go." Bella said before they could even ask how she was.
Harry nodded and looked at the other two, taking out the map again.
