Title: Inside My Mind

Pairing: TMR/FemHP, George W/DM/FW, DM/CW, HG/BZ, SB/OC

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or the quotes. I also kind of took the quote idea from another story. I don't own the language, Druhir. I also don't own the Ancient Language from Eragon nor do I own the language of Quenya from Lord of the Rings. I just need them for my story to work and I don't fancy making up a language. I'm dedicated but not that dedicated.

Most of this language will not be mine and will be taken from various sources. The list goes on and on so I will not list them but as previously stated and now reiterated, the Elvish language is not mine. See…that rhymed.

Note: So, this will be a lot of fun. You will soon find that Bella is a very sexual creature. Yes, she's actually lusty like Maya and Hermione call her. But anyway, I have the World Cup in this chapter which is all good. It's fun! Anyway, I did not put every single word of the Quidditch game. Because Quidditch is the bane of my existence.

Chapter XXXIII

The Burrow, Ottery St. Catchpole, England, Great Britain

Monday the 25th of August 1994

4:45 AM

"Arthur! What are you doing here? Didn't you say you couldn't get tickets?" asked the man standing in front of the old boot. Mr. Weasley smiled, sheepishly and nodded before clearing his throat.

"Well, we couldn't. This is Bella Potter. She sort of dragged us along. She's got tickets in the Top Box" Mr. Weasley said. Bella raised a hand in greeting and she smiled, brightly at the two men in front of her. One was Cedric Diggory, whom she recognized from school. He was looking at her in surprise. She gave him a soft smile and he immediately looked away. Amos looked at her in surprise.

"Bella Potter, you say? My Cedric beat you last year, didn't he? And I hear you're one of the greatest Seekers Hogwarts has ever seen. My Cedric!" Amos grinned. Bella's smile turned chilly and Amos blinked.

"He only won because Bella was attacked by dementors" Hermione said, flatly. This drew Amos' attention to the other people around him. He looked at Hermione in shock.

"And who are these people with you?" Amos asked.

"Hermione Granger" Hermione said, her tone still flat. Amos offered a hand and Hermione looked at it, her lips curled in disgust. Bella looked at Hermione from the corner of her hand.

"Mione" she hissed, her tone held a warning. Hermione stiffened and took Amos' hand, shaking it though her eyes still held disgust.

"Amos Diggory. And this is my son, Cedric" Amos said. He suddenly did a double take when he saw Sirius and Maya. Maya was leaning her head on his shoulder, her eyes drooping and Sirius' arm was around her waist to keep her from falling.

"Sirius Black! And whom is this lovely lady?"

"Maya Granger" Maya said, sleepily. Amos nodded at her and then glanced at the two girls in front of him back to Sirius.

"Sirius! How could you possibly afford this many seats in the Top Box? And just for Miss Potter?"

"I didn't buy them. They were already bought when I tried to get them" Sirius said, yawning. Amos looked stunned and Cedric looked immensely curious.

"Then who?" Cedric asked, looking at Bella again. Bella looked to the dark sky and saw the sun beginning to rise. She gave a sigh and clutched the ornate locket around her neck. Cedric saw that it looked rather old.

"Tom Riddle bought twelve tickets in the Top Box for me" Bella said with another sigh. Cedric and Amos exchanged shocked looks and cleared their throats.

"Professor Riddle? Why would he do that?"

"Because I'm Lady Slytherin, his Heiress. And he holds an unnatural need to show up Uncle Sirius. Which he did. Sorry, Uncle Sirius" Bella commented. Sirius glared at her and then pointed at the boot. Everyone looked to it and Maya frowned.

"What am I supposed to do?" asked Maya. Hermione grabbed her mother's finger and placed it on the finger just as the boot glowed even brighter.

Bella bit her lip as she felt a jerk behind her navel and suddenly they were swirling through blue light and Bella fell towards the ground hard. Two hard arms caught her. Bella looked up and saw the smiling face of Cedric.

"Oh…thank you" Bella said with a smile. Cedric nodded slowly as the girl flipped from his arms and landed next to the Granger girl. Cedric blinked as the Granger girl glared possessively and grabbed Bella's arm and began dragging her to a campsite.

"Let's go, Bella."

Bella nodded and wiggled her fingers at Cedric before walking away.

Quidditch Cup Stadium, England, Great Britain

Monday the 25th of August 1994

6:00 PM

"Good lord, Arthur. What did you sell to get seats in the Top Box? Surely your house wouldn't have fetched this much?"

Bella spun around and glared at Lucius Malfoy. Draco and his mother Narcissa stood behind him and Draco looked annoyed. Blaise stood next to him and winked at Hermione and Bella. Bella nodded once.

"I don't believe picking a fight in front of the Minister would be prudent" Hermione said, harshly. Lucius turned to her and his lips curled.

"And you?" he asked, snappily. Bella gave a slight smile.

"Hermione Granger. Hogwarts' resident Mudblood. And you are Lucius Malfoy. I could tell. You have the same arrogant look as your son" Hermione sneered. She turned on her foot and stormed up to sit with Ron and the rest of the Weasleys. Mr. Weasley blinked in surprise.

"Anastasia."

Lucius blinked and surprise and turned to his son and Blaise whom had spoken in unison. Bella offered slight smiles at the both of them and Arthur watched dumbfounded.

"Draco. Blaise. How have your summers gone?"

"Fine. And yours, mia sorella?" Blaise asked. Bella's smile widened at the label and nodded once before shrugging.

"I received twelve tickets in the Top Box. Tom bought them for birthday" Bella said with a slight grin on her face. Draco and Blaise exchanged smirks and nodded before turning back to Bella.

"Speaking of Riddle, I heard you dueled him on your birthday. Actually, we heard a lot of things from the Mudblood" Draco said with a smirk. Bella stiffened and glared at her brothers. She rolled her eyes and sniffed.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. Hermione's too bloody nosy for her own Goddamned business."

"Is she really?" a hiss sounded in her ear. Bella shrieked and jumped, spinning to kick. A hand shot out and grabbed her foot before it could connect with his shoulder and the foot landed on top of his shoulder. A hand wrapped around the wrist that was connected to the hand that was about to connect with his face.

"Bloody hell! Don't do that!" Bella gasped, her eyes wide. She glared up at the smirking face and slid her foot from Tom's shoulder.

"Do what? You're the one who just tried to decapitate me" he said, smoothly. Bella glared and sighed.

"If I tried you wouldn't have your head."

"You little arrogant…Lucius. How are you?" Tom asked, finally noticing the dumbfounded man. Lucius inclined his head to Tom in a show of deference.

"I am well. And you, m…Mr. Riddle?" Lucius asked. Tom glared down, sourly at the girl whom was glaring at him. Bella turned to look at Blaise and Draco and they were smirking at her.

"Well. Draco, Blaise. How have you been keeping with your extra lessons?" Tom asked, referring to the dueling lessons that he had given them the year before. Blaise gave a smirk.

"Well. Very well. I'm learning to manipulate people's minds and implant compulsion while I'm in their mind" Blaise said. Tom smirked and nodded. Draco sighed and cleared his throat.

"The scythe is easier to manipulate now."

"Good."

"Why are you here?" snapped Bella, finally fed up with Tom basically ignoring her. Tom turned to her with a slow smirk spreading on his face. Bella flinched as he gaze at her harshly.

"So…is that anyway to talk to someone whom find inherently attractive?"

"You're absolutely impossible! You are completely infuriating and you're a complete jerk" snarled Bella before storming up the steps. Tom gaze a lazy wave to the shocked Malfoys and Blaise before walking up the stairs, taking two steps at a time. He slid past the shocked Weasleys and the haughty and smirking Maya and Hermione before sitting down next to a very pissed off Bella.

"Go the hell away" she said, stiffly. Tom rolled his eyes.

"You're being very melodramatic."

"You're a jerk. I didn't mean to say…what I said. I didn't mean it!"

"Yes you did. I know you did. You said it in Parseltongue. It's hard to lie in Parseltongue. Snakes aren't the type to lie and thus they speak the utmost truth. When a human speaks the language they feel compelled to act like a snake while speaking. Thus, telling the truth" Tom said, matter-of-factly. Bella glared at him and turned away.

"What did he do now, Bella?" Sirius sighed. He shot Tom a glare and was surprised that the man didn't glare back. He continued looking pleased.

It was strange.

Riddle was never pleased.

"I didn't do anything. I'm only explaining to Ana how it's almost impossible to lie in Parseltongue. You see, on her birthday she told me—"

"Go away, Tom. No one wants to hear your lies. Why are you even here? You don't even like Quidditch" sighed Bella. Tom nodded, sagely before rolling his eyes and shooting her an annoyed look.

"Did you think I was going to buy twelve tickets to the Quidditch Cup and then not go myself? That'd be a waste."

"You just want to heckle the Quidditch players" Bella snapped. Tom gave a smirk.

"You know me so well."

"I wish I didn't" Bella sighed. She didn't understand why she was letting Tom get to her. She couldn't believe that he was doing this to her. He was purposely baiting her and she was letting him.

"Professor Riddle, you have a nice chest."

Bella glanced sharply at Maya whom was reading a Witch Weekly magazine. Sirius looked up sharply at the woman and then back to Tom before glaring. Tom's lips curled into a wicked grin.

"I've heard."

"From who?" Sirius snapped. Tom gave Bella a pointed look before looking up at the sky. Sirius gaped at his goddaughter in shock, as she did nothing to deny the insinuation that Tom had just made.

"You're also quite gorgeous. It's a shame that you don't like Muggles" Maya sighed. Tom smirked to the sky.

"It wouldn't matter if you're not a witch. I don't like brunettes. I've always been partial to black hair. Unique eye colors are appreciated too. Blue is much too common for me" Tom said, conversationally. Bella glanced at him and brushed her hair in front of her red face. Hermione smirked at her.

"Oh look, the game!" Bella announced, brushing her hair back from her face in excitement. She lifted her Omnioculars. Ron, Hermione, Sirius, and Maya lifted their own Omnioculars as well. Bella turned to look at the man sitting next to her.

"Are you seriously reading?" she asked in shock. Tom raised an eyebrow at her and rolled his eyes.

"Did you really think I was going to watch the game?"

"I would have assumed so, yes" Bella said, rolling her eyes. Tom smirked and leaned in, his eyes alight with wicked teasing.

"I suppose you don't know me so well."

"I know you more than anyone else. No?"

"You may know me more than anyone else but that doesn't mean you know me well. No?"

Bella suddenly realized the close proximity they were at and she jerked sideways, slamming her shoulder into Hermione's. Hermione yelped and glanced at Bella in shock and annoyance.

"What was that for?"

"Uh…sorry."

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome! Welcome to the final of the four hundred and twenty-second Quidditch World Cup!" announced a man with blond hair and blue eyes. Bella thought he looked a bit like an overgrown schoolboy

The spectators screamed and clapped. Thousands of flags waves, adding their discordant national anthems to the racket.

The huge blackboard opposite them was wiped clear of its last message and now showed BULGARIA: 0, IRELAND: 0.

"And now, without further ado, allow me to introduce… the Bulgarian National Team Mascots!"

The right-hand side of the stands, which was a solid block of scarlet, roared its approval. They jumped and whooped and Bella watched in shock and smiled down at the hat in hand. She placed the Irish green shamrock hat on her head. Most of the Weasley family had one as well except for Percy and Mrs. Weasley.

"I wonder what they brought…" Mr. Weasley wondered. Sirius nodded in agreement.

"Ahh…Veela."

Bella froze in her seat and Hermione and Maya frowned. Sirius was standing up leaning over the edge of the railing. Bella glared down at the beautiful women dancing on the field.

Their hair fell around them in sheets of white-blonde and their skin glowed like moonlight. They were infuriating. Bella's eyes glowed and she looked to the side. Blaise and Draco were standing but didn't look as ridiculous as everyone else. Hermione's eyes were narrowed in rage. She glared over at Blaise whom was only across the stairwell in another Box.

"Sit down" she snarled over Tom at Blaise. Tom looked up from his book finally and Bella froze. Blaise looked up and winked at Hermione. He leaned back and tapped Draco's shoulder. Draco looked dazed and Blaise whispered something to him. Draco smirked and sat down, coolly. Blaise gave a reassuring smile to Hermione. Hermione smirked and sat down. Maya watched in surprise and then turned her gaze to Bella. Bella was looking at Tom.

"Veela, hmm? I'd rather read" Tom decided. Sirius turned in shock but then looked back to the veela as they danced off the field.

There were shouts of anger and rage at the veela leaving. Ron looked ready to jump over the railing and down onto the field. The veela disappeared and Sirius sat down, looking chagrined yet was pleased at the look of annoyance on Maya's face. She tutted.

"You shouldn't get worked up about a pretty face, Sirius. Look at Professor Riddle" Maya snapped. Sirius rolled his eyes and looked pointedly at Tom. Men around them was looking at the man in shock as well.

"Well, he's asexual. Or gay."

"Trust me, Black. I'm not asexual nor gay" Tom said, softly though clearly enough for everyone around them to hear. Bella giggled and then looked at Hermione. The two shared a look and then glanced at Draco.

"I do know someone who might be gay judging from how he doesn't seem to see Luna's advances" Hermione said. Tom looked up.

"You mean, Draco? Oh yes, he's bisexual."

"And how would you know?" Bella asked, curiously. Tom rolled his eyes.

"I know these things."

Bella sighed and cleared her throat before looking back down.

"And now," started the boyish man, "kindly put your wands in the air…for the Irish National Team Mascots!"

Next moment, what seemed to be a great green-and-gold comet came zooming into the stadium. It did one circuit of the stadium, then split into two smaller comets, each hurtling toward the goal posts. A rainbow arced suddenly across the field, connecting the two balls of light. The crowd oooohed and aaaaahed, as though at a fireworks display. Now the rainbow faded and the balls of light reunited and merged; they had formed a great shimmering shamrock, which rose up into the sky and began to soar over the stands. Something like golden rain seemed to be falling from it –

"Excellent!" yelled Ron as the shamrock soared over them, and heavy gold coins rained from it, bouncing off their heads and seats. Squinting up at the shamrock, Bella realized that it was actually comprised of thousands of tiny little bearded men with red vests, each carrying a minute lamp of gold or green.

"Leprechauns!" said Mr. Weasley over the tumultuous applause of the crowd, many of whom were still fighting and rummaging around under their chairs to retrieve the gold.

"There you go," Ron yelled happily, stuffing a fistful of gold coins into Bella's hand, "for the Omnioculars! Now you've got to buy me a Christmas present, ha!"

Tom smirked and looked over his book at the excited redheaded boy.

"Oh sure, Ron" Bella said, half-heartedly. Those that knew exactly what the gold was looked down.

"Actually, she doesn't. Because leprechaun gold disappears. So, essentially you haven't paid her back."

Ron blinked in shock before dropping the gold like it was burning fire.

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, kindly welcome - the Bulgarian National Quidditch Team! I give you - Dimitrov!"

A scarlet-clad figure on a broomstick, moving so fast it was blurred, shot out onto the field from an entrance far below, to wild applause from the Bulgarian supporters.

"Ivanova!"

A second scarlet-robed player zoomed out.

"Zograf! Levski! Vulchanov! Volkov! Aaaaaaand - Krum!"

"That's him, that's him!" yelled Ron, following Krum with his Omnioculars. Bella quickly focused her own.

Viktor Krum was thin, dark, and sallow-skinned, with a large curved nose and thick black eyebrows. Bella found it hard to believe that he was only eighteen.

"And now, please greet - the Irish National Quidditch Team!" yelled Bagman. "Presenting - Connolly! Ryan! Troy! Mullet! Moran! Quigley! Aaaaaand - Lynch!"

Seven green blurs swept onto the field. Bella spun a small dial on the side of her Omnioculars and slowed the players down enough to read the word "Firebolt" on each of their brooms and see their names, embroidered in silver, upon their backs.

"And here, all the way from Egypt, our referee, acclaimed Chairwizard of the International Association of Quidditch, Hassan Mostafa!"

Bella watched and glanced at Tom whom was leaning forward now, actually watching the game.

"You're going to watch it?" Bella asked over the roar.

"Yeah."

Tom hadn't moved from watching the group with a strange fascination.

"Theeeeeeeey're OFF!" screamed the blond man. "And it's Mullet! Troy! Moran! Dimitrov! Back to Mullet! Troy! Levski! Moran!"

Bella was shocked at what she saw. When she was younger Sirius had taken her to Quidditch games. But, this was nothing like that. That had looked fun but it had never given her exhilaration as this did.

These players were elite. The Chasers moved so fast that the blond man only had time to shout their names.

"Who is that man?" Bella asked, pointing to the blond man. Tom looked at her sharply and offered her a smile.

"Ludo Bagman. You'll be seeing him later this year" Tom promised. Bella nodded and turned back to the game.

"Bulgaria is going to win."

Bella blinked and turned to Tom whom was looking quite confident as he closed his book. Bella gave a sharp laugh and Tom glared at her.

"No. Ireland will win. But Krum will catch the Snitch" Bella said. Tom snorted.

"How so?"

"He's never lost a Snitch. But Ireland's Chasers are on a whole, much better than the ones in Bulgaria. And their Keeper isn't half bad either," Sirius explained. Tom shook his head and looked away.

"You're wrong."

"I bet you ten galleons" Bella said, counting out the remainder of her money. She held out her hand. Tom took it without looking away from the game.

"You're on."

In the end, Krum had his Snitch. And a broken nose.

Ireland won.

"Pay up" Bella smirked as Tom growled under his breath. He dropped the bag in her lap in anger and stormed away.

Quidditch Cup Stadium, England, Great Britain

Tuesday the 26th of August 1994

2:00 AM

"Get up! Get up!"

Bella shook and was awake in minutes. Sirius was looking frantic and Maya's eyes were wide in shock and fear. Hermione's face was hard and she was frowning as she hugged her mother. Bella frowned as well as she began to hear the screams.

"What's going on?" Bella demanded. Sirius gave her a sharp look.

"Death Eaters."

Bella was up in seconds and she cleared her throat. She flicked her wrist and her wand flew form her holster. She looked at Hermione and she nodded. Hermione had her own wand in hand.

"We need Blaise and Draco" murmured Bella. Sirius looked at them and blanched.

"No time! Save yourselves and Maya. Take Maya. I'm going to help the others. Go!" Sirius insisted. Bella glared at her uncle and shook with fear and rage.

"You don't understand! I need them! I need them, Sirius! I need to find my brothers. We need to find them! Come on, Hermione! Maya!" Bella shouted. Hermione's arm glowed and she had a sword in hand. Her eyes held a wicked light. She grinned and her dark eyes glowed. Bella's eyes began to glow the color of the Killing Curse.

"Morrigan."

"Yes, Ana?" Hermione asked, tucking her wand back up her sleeve. Bella's lips curled into wicked smirk.

"You may kill anyone whom tries to hurt your mother."

"Agreed."

Maya's lips opened in horror and then suddenly Bella took her arm and they were running. Maya stared in horror at the people around her. Some of the tents were on fire and people were screaming as they ran from the approaching people in black robes and bone white masks.

"Sanguis Coque!"

"Solvite Interna!"

The first spell came from Maya's own the daughter and the second from Bella. The first seemed to be more powerful as it hit one of the marching battalion. The man screamed and fell to the ground, his face turning red rapidly and steaming blood poured from his veins. The other hit another soldier. That soldier fell screaming as well, clawing at his stomach as blood vessels popped in his eyes.

"Run! Come on run!" Bella urged. Maya nodded and the three ran into the woods just beyond it when Bella stopped. Hermione and her turned and Maya stared.

Fighting back to back were Draco and Blaise. Draco had a scythe in hand and he was wielding it like a master. Blaise was in the utmost concentration as he tapped the arms of the Death Eaters fighting them.

And then, a curse flew at Draco and struck his side. Draco let out an ear-piercing scream.

And then her two children were running. Maya watched in shock as Bella gave a battle cry that sounded like a crazed woman. Her eyes blazed red and the Death Eaters stared in shock as her eyes glowed. She held out her wand.

"Kveykva!"

The spell was cast and the Death Eaters tried to run. Hermione was grinning as Bella froze up and her eyes drooped. A bolt of lightening shot from her wand and Draco lifted his own wand.

"Ascendo."

A moan was heard and Maya watched as a dead Death Eater rose from the ground to face his comrades. Hermione screamed another curse and another person went down. Maya hid behind the trees as she watched the four duel.

They were like four parts of one being.

Blaise was fighting back to back with Draco. Hermione and Bella were fighting back to back and they were slaughtering the people. Bella screamed the strange curse once more and another bolt of lightening flew from her wand, slamming into the wizard.

"Oh God! What is she doing?"

Maya screamed and turned when she suddenly saw the worried grey eyes of Sirius black. He looked horrified as he stared at his goddaughter brushing aside the Death Eaters with her siblings.

"She's…she's using a weird lightning curse" Maya murmured. Sirius shook his head and grabbed Maya's hand and looked around at the fire that was growing.

"No…she's using Black Magic!" Sirius said in horror.

Maya frowned as she looked at the spectacle they made. People that were running were watching the children duel with skills that they shouldn't have yet. Their eyes were wild and they was grinning as they struck people down.

And then suddenly Hermione's sword flew forward and ripped into a Death Eater's stomach. She tore it out and blood exploded. Hermione let out a loud cackle and Bella laughed with her.

"What are they?" Maya whispered.

"They…they are something we do not speak about. Cannot speak about. Because of the Curse of the Damned."

The four turned and saw the Death Eaters turning away from them, trying to escape.

"MY PRETTY PLAYTOYS! APOLLO MAKE THEM COME BACK!" shrieked Hermione. Bella laughed and grabbed Hermione's wrist.

"Don't worry, Morrigan. You will get them back" Blaise promised. He laughed as well and Draco was trying his hardest not to laugh. He turned back to the animated dead body that was now moaning over one of the Death Eaters that had fallen. Draco waved his wand and backed away from the wounded Death Eater.

The four ran into the woods, cackling. A spell flew towards them and Bella spun on her heel and glared at them. Hermione was sneering at the frantic person that had thrown a curse at them, thinking they were Death Eaters.

"Don't throw a curse at us! Filth!" Draco snarled. Bella touched his arm and pulled it.

"Thanatos…we've had our fun. We'll ride later on. When they are us. But not now. Now, we will wait" Bella said, softly.

"I don't want to wait!" whined Hermione. Blaise sighed.

"It's not time to play yet."

"It isn't. But it will be…soon" Bella promised with glowing eyes.

Suddenly, the vicious light in their eyes went out and they gasped and blinked as they came to their senses. Blaise blinked and frowned as he looked around at his siblings.

"What just happened? I…I wasn't in control of my body" murmured Bella. Sirius frowned and Maya opened her mouth.

"You guys turned into these…" Maya stopped.

She couldn't speak. She couldn't continue.

"It's the Curse of the Damned. I'll explain it to you later" Sirius murmured. He turned back to the four children.

"You four need to get farther into the forest. I need to destroy the evidence of your blatant use of Black Magic" Sirius said, quietly. Bella gasped and turned to her shocked siblings. Blaise frowned. He was glad he hadn't resorted to using Black Magic though he could have, he knew.

"We…oh no. We'll take care of Maya. We won't lose ourselves. I swear" Bella promised. Sirius nodded and pointed towards the forest. Bella grabbed Maya's arm and they took off running in the forest.

"Oh Merlin…" Bella moaned as she saw the fire between the trees behind her. Maya followed the kids and soon they were in a small fire.

"Those poor people" Hermione said, quietly. Maya nodded and the two huddled close. Suddenly, someone burst from the trees. All four childrens' wands were pointed and out walked three freckled redheads, their hands raised.

"Oh, it's you lot! Malfoy, Zabini. Why aren't you with the rest of your Death Eater friends?" spat Ron. Bella glared and Hermione sneered.

"Weasel, you'll wish to stop speaking now. I don't hold loyalty to anyone but she who is resurrected" Draco said, shortly. He turned on his heel and murmured something to Blaise.

"If you've got something to share, you might want to say it a little louder" Ginny said, scathingly. Draco looked up at her with steel eyes and she was silenced immediately as the night air turned cool.

"Hush. Someone's out there" Bella whispered suddenly. Ginny and Gideon nodded, withdrawing his wand. Ron's hand went to his pocket and he gasped.

"My wand…I don't know where it is! I might've dropped it in the forest" he said, quietly. Hermione groaned just as a silhouette of a person was shown.

"MORSMORDE!"

A green skull lit the sky and a snake slithered from it, alerting everyone. Hermione shuddered and stared up at it and Bella frowned.

"What is that?" Maya asked.

"It's…it's the Dark Mark."

"Is that Grindelwald's Mark?" asked Maya. Bella shook her head and showed the woman her palm where the Deathly Hallows sign was scarred into her skin.

"No, this is. That…that is the symbol of Voldemort. Whom is said to be much crueler than him" Bella said, quietly. Draco held his scythe out and glanced at Bella. Her wand was drawn and her eyebrows were pulled into a frown. Hermione was looking around, her sword held tightly in her grip.

Suddenly, twenty wizards were around them with wands.

"STUPEFY!" they roared as one. Gideon and Ginny got hit with one each and Ron narrowly escaped a Stunning. Hermione began reflecting them from herself and her mother while Blaise moved gracefully in between the spells. Bella was moving only centimeters to escape them.

"Stop! STOP! Those are my children! And a Muggle!" Arthur Weasley shouted. Bella gasped as suddenly everyone looked at them clearly.

"Bella! Ron! Hermione! And…" Mr. Weasley trailed off when he saw the two newcomers. Hermione wasn't even looking at him. She was gasping and grabbing onto the Italian boy's forearms. Bella was looking around with sharp eyes.

"Who decided that it was a grand plan to throw twenty Stunners at six children and a Muggle?" Draco snarled. Bella placed her hand on his arm.

"Quiet, Drake. These are not our enemies. At the moment."

"They were twenty seconds ago" he argued. Bella glared at him.

"Not now, Thanatos!" she hissed at him. He quieted down and turned to the man whose eyes were bulging. Bella recognized him as Mr. Crouch.

"Which one of you did it? Which of you conjured the Dark Mark?" he snarled, his eyes bulging out. He was looking pointedly at Draco.

"We didn't do that. We're children" Bella said, calmly. Mr. Crouch turned to glare at Maya. She looked terrified and Mr. Crouch looked down as Hermione snarled at him. Blaise grabbed her shoulders and wrapped on arm around her shoulders. She flinched and took in a shuddering breath.

"Then what about the woman? What do you have to say Death Eater?" he demanded. Bella sighed.

"She's a Muggle. This Muggleborn's mother."

"Um…the correct term that I identify with is Mudblood" Hermione clarified, her voice haughty. Bella sniffed and Blaise leaned down and hissed something into Hermione's ear. Hermione nodded.

"What did you tell her? Forming an escape plan, boy?" snarled Mr. Crouch. Mr. Weasley raised his hand to say something but Bella held up a hand and looked pointedly at Mr. Crouch.

"Mr. Crouch, I think you'd better get a hold of yourself. You sound deranged" she said, her tone dangerous. Mr. Crouch glared at her.

"You think you can tell me how to do my job?" he shouted in rage. Bella's eyes turned the color of the Avada Kedavra curse and Mr. Crouch flinched as crimson ringed around her eyes. She snarled at him.

"I will when you threaten my siblings. You sound like a moron, sir! We are not Death Eaters! I am Bella Potter. Does it truly make sense for me to cast the spell? And Draco Malfoy is my blood brother whom was with me the entire time. Maya Granger is a Muggle. Hermione Granger is a psychotic! Did you know you could have set her off just now? She's a Muggleborn! Sorry, Mudblood, Mione. And Blaise Zabini is my trusted confidante whom is as close to me as Draco is to me. Please get a hold of yourself and do your job right" Bella shrieked in rage. Mr. Crouch blinked in shock and reeled back. Bella snarled and glared at him.

"Miss Potter…" started a Ministry wizard. Bella glared at him, fiercely.

"I'm not done yet! It's very hard getting me angry, sir. I have had to suffer the annoying arrogance of one Tom Riddle for the longest. Draco Malfoy is my blood brother! But, you who have accusssed innocent children of doing ssssomething that they haven't done iss one of the craziest thingsss I've heard. We weren't even alive during the First Wizarding War! Where would we have learned the incantation? Sssseriously, ssssir, get your head out of your arse" she hissed at him. She blinked as she realized that she had been borderline speaking in Parseltongue. She turned around and she spun as she felt a hand go to her shoulder. Her leg was out and in Draco's hand. He was swinging his scythe back and forth.

"Hypocritical girl. Loosing your temper but I'm not allowed to?"

"You would've killed them. You're gifted in that."

"Foolish sorella. Foolish fratello. Stop it. Now, Mr. Crouch, the incantation came from that way" Blaise said, quietly. Hermione shook again and glared at them, the sword in her hand twitching ever few seconds.

"What's wrong with her?" Mr. Weasley asked as three wizards went to check the general direction Blaise had pointed in. Another wizard was waking up Mr. Weasley's other children. Blaise whispered to Hermione once more.

"She's trying not to kill them."

The wizards shivered as the girl smirked at them.

"Pretty, pretty. Pretty, pretty blood" she sang to herself. Mr. Weasley shivered and watched as she lunged again. Bella caught her arm and grabbed the sword from Hermione's hand. She passed it to Blaise.

"No, Hermione. Later. We'll duel later today. You can take out your bloodlust later. I promise" Bella whispered. Hermione nodded and sighed. She turned to Blaise and pressed her face into his shoulder.

"She's really psychotic?" Mr. Weasley asked. Maya nodded.

"Yes. And I'd appreciate if it wasn't a regular conversation topic. Hermione, baby, are you okay?" she asked. Hermione looked up with dark eyes and smiled at her mother.

"Yes, Mummy. Angel's going to play with you."

"I know honey" Maya said with a slight smile. Some of the Ministry wizards shivered at Hermione's cackle. Draco was snickering into the palm of his hand.

"Arthur! Come look…" Amos Diggory called. This had the group of wizards wandering off as they heard sobbing. Mr. Crouch was standing in front of a little house elf.

"That…that's my wand!" Ron cried, pointing to the wand in Amos' hands. Amos looked at him in surprise and Ron frowned, sheepishly.

"I…I guess I dropped it in the woods."

"What's he doing, Mummy?" Hermione whispered as Mr. Crouch talked seriously with the house elf on the ground. Amos was testing the wand carefully and then he turned to the elf just as she burst into fresh tears.

"I isn't doing anything! I is not doing magic! I is not making the Dark Mark! Please Master!" cried the house elf. Mr. Crouch glanced at Amos and Amos nodded, solemnly, confirming that the wand had been used to cast the spell.

"Winky has behaved in a manner tonight that I would not have believed. I told her to remain in the tent. I told her to stay there while I went to sort out trouble. And I find that she disobeyed me. This means clothes" Mr. Crouch said, coldly. Hermione frowned and looked up as Winky began sobbing and begging her ex-master.

"That's not fair" she said, softly.

The words were spoken softly yet there was an edge to them. She flicked her wrist and her wand fell into her open hand. Mr. Crouch looked at her with cold eyes but faltered at the strange glint in her eyes. Bella smiled proudly at her sister. She was channeling her psychosis once more.

"I have no use for a house elf that disobey me."

"It's not fair."

"You should remember who you're speaking to, girl" Mr. Crouch snarled, unnerved by the repeated sentence.

"You're cruel, Mr. Crouch. And I know cruel. I know cruelty. I am cruel. But…you're a heartless being, Mr. Crouch. And I'm sure Draco will make sure that when you die, you will rot in hell" Hermione whispered. Mr. Crouch flinched and suddenly seemed to have a dawning look on his face.

"You're they who we don't speak about. That we cannot speak of" Mr. Crouch said in shock. Bella, Blaise, and Draco frowned and titled their head. Many of the wizard officials stared in horror and fear. Hermione only smiled.

"We cannot speak of it either. Because we are the damned. But I won't remember that after I stop possessing my body. She needed me. Just like she who is resurrected took hold of Bella. She whom I hold all my loyalty to. Mr. Crouch, you're more heartless than she. She who would slaughter the entire Muggle world if she felt like it. And I pity you."

"Why?"

"Because she doesn't like you. And she always wins" Hermione giggled. Suddenly, her eyes flashed brown and she gripped her head and she moaned in pain. The sword glowed and flashed before embedding itself in her arm once more.

"What…what was that?" she whispered. She leaned back and bit her lip. Blaise looked down at her, impassively.

"I'm going to need to take a look at your psychosis later."

"Did I do something weird again?"

"Yes. Apparently, we're damned."

"Ah…didn't Bella say that once?" Hermione asked. Blaise nodded and glanced at Bella who was frowning.

"Er…did I?"

A/N: And the chapter ends. It seems to end weirdly but that's on purpose. Bella suddenly realizes that everything is not as it seems and Luna will not help when she's introduced. Actually, she'll make things worse. But that's our favorite Seer for you…also, I'm having trouble writing the Hogwarts Express. That's a chapter after the next one which is just a really fun filler that focuses solely on Bella and Tom.
