Chapter Forty-one

Dumbledore had the right idea, he said that Voldemort's trial should be held in his cell, and his cell should be magically enlarged. The ministry decided to take him up to the ministry court house and make a big deal over the whole trial thing. 40 people died because of that mistake, all civilians, and all innocents. Voldemort escaped once more.

When I heard this news I was stunned. Dean was the one that told me, Saraan had told him, and Dumbledore had told her.

"I can't believe it." I groaned, "Fudge is so dumb. We did all that just for him to escape a month later. I'll bet it's because we didn't follow the prophecy, we should have followed the instructions. We used Jamie."

"Trust me it's not your fault." Said Dean. "He probably would have escaped anyway. He's just so powerful."

"You're probably right." I admitted. "I guess I'm just one of those what if, type people."

"Who knows," Dean shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe you'll have another go at him. You've got a year left at Hogwarts you know."

"I don't think I want another go at him." I said. "I thought it was a one time deal."

"Never think that where Voldemort is involved." Dean warned.

Obviously Voldemort was able to reunite with his supporters, because the next day, well let me explain…

Dad, mom, and Maxis left on Auror business. They were to be gone for about two weeks but came back early. We didn't know why but they wee very shaken up. They were supposed to be delivering a message to a group of small wizarding schools in Africa. Mom went with them, because she claimed to know the continent of Africa very well; she didn't say why. Anyway they came back 10 days early.

I was out side when they returned, but they didn't even stop to say hello to me. They were all in animal form, and went speeding up to the castle.

"Um, hello." I called after them. "Daughter speaking, hello!"

Maxis had briefly turned her dog head but decided I wasn't important at the moment. I was now slightly miffed, because they never just ignored me or my friends like that. I decided to walk back to the castle and find out what was going on.

When I got up to Dumbledore's office I heard nervous voices.

"9, just gone! Taken off the map!"

"They used to be all in a group, the towns also gone."

"It's like something picked it up, and…and just moved it into the clouds."

"It's obvious Voldemort did it, but the question is how?"

My head snapped up so suddenly at the word Voldemort that I almost fell through the door, luckily I didn't but I made quite a big thump.

"Who's out there?"

I backed into the shadows of the hall just as the door opened. Mom looked out and then closed it again. I backed out of the shadows and walked back over to the door, but then decided that a better idea would be to go to the Gryffindor tower to find my friends.

"They're back early?" Jamie questioned. "Isn't it kind of unusual for an auror, if anything they'd be back late."

"It is," Said Hermione. "What'd the say about taken off the map?"

"They said that 9 things were taken off the maps, I'm guessing they were the schools. That's where they were headed."

"9 schools taken off the map!? Said Ron in a hushed voice.

"How could that…" Harry trailed off, as if not wanting an answer. "Was anyone there?"

"I don't know," I said. "They're might have been though."

"Aphi," dad asked. "Are you and Jamie coming with us tonight?"

"Sure," I said, "No detentions to go to."

Dad grinned and walked away.

So later Jamie and I met them in the front hall ready for a night of exploring.

"Drink this," Saraan handed glasses to Remus and Maxis.

"Shouldn't you have given this to us a week ago?" Maxis asked her skeptically.

"It's a new version," Saraan assured them. "Don't worry it should work."

"You said should." Said Remus. "Why'd you say should?"

Saraan rolled her eyes. "The snake skin was a bit stale, that's all, only by a day though. I made sure to try and get it right though, because Madam Pomfrey said if I didn't she'd have my head"

Maxis and Remus groaned but drank the potion.

"Why does this taste like apple juice?" Maxis made a face.

"You two are just full of complaints tonight, aren't you?" Saraan looked at them. "Just go before you transform, have a good time." With that Saraan left around the corner.

"Alright lets go." Dad led the way outside.

I had a lot of fun for the first part of the night, but at about 11:00 I started to get tiered, so I sat down under a tree. Dad came over and sat next to me. I snuggled up next to him, and fell asleep.

Chapter Forty Two A definite Problem

There were a few problems when I woke up. Problem one was that I wasn't with my dad, Problem two was that I was in a cell, and a person that I recognized as Lucuis Malfoy, was guarding me. I was a human now and realized that I must have been forced with magic to transform back. I felt around my ears and sure enough there were two fuzzy pointy things that proved my suspicion correct. Malfoy looked at me and saw I was awake. He smiled slightly; it wasn't a very nice smile.

"Where am I?" I decided to start with a basic question.

"My manor in my chamber underground." He answered.

I gasped at finding out where I was. I immediately stood up and walked over to the bars, trying to get out.

"Guard!" called Malfoy, he looked at me and his upper lip curled. Down the hall floated a dementor. I remembered dad telling me about his first reaction. I tried transforming, but nothing happened.

"That power has been temporarily, shall we say… suspended." Said Malfoy seeing my struggle

I started to sweat as the dementor came closer.

"Are the others here?" I asked quickly.

Malfoy shook his head and walked away down the corridor, so as not to be affected by the dementor. I had no wand so not even my feeble Patronus of a dog was available for me to use as a defense. It came closer and closer and I could hear faint voices in my head.

"Where the hell are you taking her?!"

"No where of your concern Black."

A wailing child sounded.

"You Bastard! I have a right to know."

"Some where were you won't get to her."

"Damn it!" you don't understand."

"If it makes you feel better she'll be in America with some muggles, now shut up."

"Muggles in America, She's a witch for god's sake!"

"Good Bye Mr. Black."

The voices stopped. Some how in that process I'd worked my way down to the floor on my knees. Tears ran down my face. Was I really taken like that?

"Give us any trouble," I looked up and saw that Malfoy was back. "Give us any trouble while you're here and there will be more of that." He snapped his fingers. "Lanky."

He walked off and a little green house elf came in.

"Lanky has food miss." He said in a small diaphragm voice. He opened the cell and lid food in. Then quickly closed it again.

"I would advise miss not to try any thing. Master can." The elf stopped suddenly started to bang his head against the bars.

'Dobby' I thought to myself sighing. I crawled over to the food the elf had slipped under. It was a pitcher of water and some very cold bacon. I forced myself to eat and drink not knowing how much strength I'd need.

"I wonder if they miss me yet?" I said aloud thinking of Hogwarts.

Little did I know…

(A/N- now we switch to third person. It will be easier to tell the story that way, because Aphi isn't there to narrate it for us.)

"What exactly happened?" Callisto Black looked at her brother fiercely.

"I told you," Sirius sighed. "I could tell she was getting tiered. Then she walked over to a tree, so I went over with her. She fell asleep, and after awhile I got up to go back and play. Remus heard something, and then before we knew it people were dropping out of trees and some one grabbed her and ran away. I chased them but some thing or some one broke my leg."

Sirius stirred in his bed. He really wanted to be out with Remus and Maxis tracking down Aphi, but his leg was broken in more that 3 places.

"Stay still." Madam Pomfrey called over her shoulder.

"So that's all that happened?"

"Yes," Sirius frowned. "It's obviously Voldemort at work, but we just don't know where he took her. It really worries me. Especially after I saw those schools, or what was left of them."

"You shouldn't have been letting her out on the full moon in the first place." Said Callisto sternly.

"Look," Sirius's eyes narrowed. "I feel bad enough already, no need to harp on that. As soon Poppy sets my leg I'm outa here."

"No you're staying here until it's fully healed." Protested Callisto.

"My daughter…" Started Sirius.

"You'll go after your daughter in a week. Be thankful you're not a muggle or it would be six weeks or more."

Meanwhile Remus and Maxis were out trying to find Aphi, and not having much luck. They'd checked most of Voldemort's known hideouts. The Stonehenge, The tower of London, The Pyramids in Egypt, Albania, Roanoke Island of the Carolina shore, and some parts of Russia, like where the last czar was buried with his family. Voldemort and his supporters weren't there. They were now sitting in a café in London trying to look over all the clues that they had.

"I have a feeling it might be some where local." Maxis said shaking her head. "We can't find him anywhere else."

"Local?" Remus raised his eyebrows. "It's a possibility. Who're the local death-eaters?"

"McNair, Crabbe, Mcnulty, Goyle, Malfoy, Lyle, there're a few others but I need my files."

"Wouldn't be McNair, the ministry would find Aphi to easily if they were using him. Probably not Malfoy because he's got the ministry on his back all the time. It might be McNulty. Jamie and Aphi are best friends."

"I'd hate to think that…" Maxis trailed off. "No that wouldn't be." She said firmly.

"I think our best bets are Malfoy and McNulty." Remus said.

"I'll take Malfoy." Maxis volunteered immediately.

"You sure?" Remus asked. "He throws a hard curse, and who knows what he has hidden in that manor of his."

"I can take care of my self, he'll be no problem." Maxis said confidently.

"Ok,' Remus looked around. "We'll split up and meet back here in 5 days."

Maxis nodded and smiled carelessly. "Cool."

Then they both split up and went their different ways

"Are you sure Sirius?" Saraan asked again.

"It's fine." He answered lazily. "I've had broken bones before, more than this.

"It's still swollen." Less pointed. "Look it's black, blue, green, and purple all mixed into one. And when Poppy learns you've snuck out like this." Less shook her head as if not wanting to know the consequences.

"Tell her I had more important things to do." Sirius limped towards the front door.

"He's limping badly." Saraan whispered to Less.

"He's not going anywhere." Less said exasperated with her husband. "Wands ready."

Saraan nodded.

"Hertiona!" they both yelled at the same time. Sirius flew back from the door and into his hospital bed.

"What the…" he started.

"You are staying here until your leg is completely healed." Less told him sternly. "I want my daughter back as much as you do, but you are not going anywhere on that leg, even if I have to stay here and watch you."

"It's been two weeks though." Said Sirius.

"Well maybe your leg was worse off than we thought, but until it looks normal again you go nowhere." Saraan said through gritted teeth. "It'll just get worse off than it all ready is."

"It's not only Aphi I'm worried about," Sirius kept his voice down. "Jamie's missing too. I don't think she'd have rejoined her father though. Her father might actually have her. You know as a hostage."

Chapter Forty-Three: I don't have a name for this chapter

(A/N-We now switch back to Aphi's Point of view.)

3 weeks, I counted from the scratches I'd made in the dirt. I'd been there for 3 weeks.

"Ok," I said softly. "So no ones coming."

I kicked my foot in the dirt for entertainment and tried to remember exactly what had happened that night. I knew I fell asleep next to dad. The next thing that happened was I was awake here.

"There's something missing." I said to the air. "I must have woken up sometime between that."

I thought hard trying to reach into my sub-consciousness. The only thing I could pull out were some howls.

"So someone got hurt." I said. "Great just great…"

(A/N-Third person POV)

Remus walked down Knockturn ally slowly and carefully looking for the shop that Alan McNulty worked. He found it and walked in. Upon walking in he looked at the picture of the man that Maxis had given her. Remus spotted him quite easily up at the front desk, so he walked up.

"Sir." Remus said to him.

Alan McNulty looked up slowly. "Yes what is it."

"Do you have," Remus looked around and whispered something in McNulty's ear. The store manager got a certain glint in his eye.

"I think I like you," McNulty looked at Remus. "Come 'round back."

Remus followed the man around his counter. McNulty opened a door and they both went inside. There was a long hallway. Remus couldn't believe that the store was even this big. As they walked down the halls there were various doors. Remus thought he caught some sort of faint noise.

"What was that?" He asked McNulty.

He looked nervous. "Probably just some rodents of some sort."

'I'll check that out later.' Remus thought.

They walked a little farther and stopped in front of a little door.

"Here they are." McNulty pulled out some keys.

"Actualy," said Remus. "That's not what I was looking for."

Remus quickly pulled out his wand, and tied up the man with tight bonds, and preformed a muting spell so he couldn't talk. He took his keys and walked back down the hall to where he'd heard the scream. He unlocked the door and pulled it open. There in the middle of the room sat a girl tied to a chair.

"Remus," she tried to yell, but it came out sounding very muffled, because she'd been gagged.

"Jamie?"

The girl nodded struggling against her bonds.

Remus ran over and started to untie her.

"Thank god," She said. "I've been tied up here for three weeks. They've got Aphi."

"Where?" Remus helped her out of the chair.

"Malfoy," She breathed. "They've got dementors too, and other things. I saw what broke Sirius's leg. It was a werewolf, but it didn't bite him. That's what they're using now, werewolves!"

"Malfoy has dementors?" Remus started to get worried.

"Yeah," Jamie walked quickly towards the doors. "And orgs, kappa's, devil snakes,"

"Devil snakes?" Remus asked quickly.

Jamie nodded and led the way down the hallway.

"Maxis can do dementors, but I don't think she can do devil snakes."

"She's there alone?" Jamie cried. "We've gotta get there fast."

Maxis snuck along the back of Malfoy manor. She was looking for the secret cellar that she knew was there. She finally saw it and ran over to it.

"Damn it," she muttered. "It's stuck."

She tried a few spells, but nothing worked, so she tried another tactic. She walked around to the front of the manor, and walked up the front steps. She finally got to the front door. When she got there she rang the bell and quickly used an illusion to disguise herself as the door. A house elf soon came to open it and she slipped in disguising as a wall. She needed someone to follow, but no one was coming, so she walked along by herself trying to find where one might hide a girl. Soon she saw some stairs heading down, so she followed them. They went deeper and deeper in to the ground and showed no signs of stopping. No one was coming so she took the illusion off, grabbed a torch of the wall, and walked faster and faster down the stairs. She heard footsteps when she reached the bottom, so she backed against the wall again. Malfoy came around the corner with a dementor behind him. Maxis could sense a strong protection spell covering Malfoy.

'I can deal with dementors.' She thought.

Maxis, staying against the wall, followed Malfoy to where he was going. He came to a wall, which opened for him, but not for Maxis. She sighed and stayed to wait.

From behind the wall she could here crying and screaming.

"Aphi." Maxis said triumphantly.

Malfoy and the dementor came out about 20 minutes later. As they walked out Maxis walked in. She'd only gone about 10 steps when she heard a slight hissing.

"Shit." She moaned, because she knew what it was.

Crawling around her legs were about 50 little red snakes.

"God, I hate devil snakes." She whispered.

"I'm sorry Sirius but it's taking awhile." Madam Pomfrey said as she looked over Sirius's leg.

Sirius sighed. "You said a week."

"Well it was a bad break." She said. "You're lucky it's doing this well. This was a break that even magic could only help a little. Too much and it wouldn't have healed properly. I don't want you walking on it until it's fully healed."

Sirius started to protest but she rolled his bed into the corner and pulled the shade. When she walked back over to her desk Saraan and Less came out of the shadows.

"Here's your twenty galleons." Saraan whispered.

"Let's keep this between us three." Said Less.

"Mum's the word." Madam Pomfrey smiled and scooped up the money.

Chapter Forty-Four: The Rescue

(A/N- Aphi's POV)

They'd used the dementors on me three times now. Maybe knocking out the house elf wasn't a good idea. Anyway it was now three weeks and four days since I'd been here, and I'd just about given up hope (though I didn't have a ball named Wilson yet). A new house elf came with my food and left quickly. I sat in a corner and picked at the food.

"It's gonna be like Blast From the Past." I muttered. "When I get outa here they'll be flying cars in the muggle world, and self-spelling wands in the wizarding world."

I put the food down and fell asleep.

I woke up hearing a hoot of excitement. I ran over to the bars trying to see what it was. The only thing I saw were a swarm of red things that I recognized as devil snakes. I love reptiles, but these were not something to be loved (Maybe by Hagrid, but not normal people). If they touched your skin you could die instantly. They were very distant relatives of Basilisk, which meant also their eyes, could possibly be fatal. They slithered past my cell not paying me any attention. Next down the hallway was some one who lifted my sprits up about nine miles.

"Maxis!" I cried out.

"Aphrodite!" She called using my full name.

I hugged her through the bars on the cell door. "I thought no one was coming. Where's dad?"

"His leg is broken." She pulled out keys from her pocket and opened the door. "Come on, before he wakes up."

We started off down the hallway when I remembered, "Maxis the dementors are kept down here."

"I can handle dementors." She said confidently.

"What about dementors and devil snakes?" I pointed. "Look. They're both coming right at us."

(A/N- Third person POV)

Remus and Jamie climbed up the slope to the Malfoy manor.

"Where do we go after this?" Remus wondered aloud.

"I know," Jamie answered. "They've got a chamber underground. That's where Aphi would most likely be. I can get us there."

"How?"

"Do you know how many times I came to play here as a kid?" She sighed. "Dad would go to his so called business meetings and I would have to go play with Draco. He showed me around pretty well, so I know where the chamber is."

Remus nodded and let Jamie lead the way around to the back of the mansion.

"The cellars locked." Jamie said pulling on the door. "But there's some where else come on."

Jamie walked around to the side and stood on a piece of dirt land.

"Draco and I used to play here." She explained. "He fell through once and got a bloody nose. Can you use a levitation spell?"

"Sure." Remus answered.

"When I say." Said Jamie. She jumped down on the patch of dirt and fell through.

"Now!" she called from underneath. Remus steadied her and walked over to get a better look. He saw that it was pretty far down and Jamie was floating at about the half waypoint.

"Bring me down gently." She yelled. "Then toss me your wand and jump down."

Remus listened to her and levitated her to the ground. Then he tossed down his wand and followed. Jamie stopped him from falling and bought him down the rest of the way.

"Here." She handed him his wand. "I really don't know where to go from here. We'll have to play it by ear."

"That's a good idea," Remus grinned at her. "Listen, and follow the curse words."

They could both hear a long string of curses coming from a woman's mouth, so they followed the voice.

(Aphi's POV)

There were five dementors and hundreds of devil snakes surrounding us. I started to feel faint, but Maxis conjured up a Patronus which sent them running. There were still the snakes to deal with. I bent down and started pulling my socks up over my jeans, so no skin showed.

"Aphi get up, your hands are exposed." Maxis hissed. "And no sudden movements."

I nodded and stood up slowly.

"How do you get rid of them?" I asked.

"I usually just blast them." She answered. "But this is a few hundred too many to blast by myself."

"Need some help?" asked a voice.

"Remus," Maxis smiled slightly. "How'd you…"

"Just blast the snakes." Advised Remus. "On three. One, two…"

Hundreds of snakes blasted against the wall, and we ran out of there as fast as we could.

"I don't do devil snakes." Maxis gasped.

"We figured as much." Said Remus.

"Who are we?" I asked.

"Jamie and I. Her father had her tied up in the back of his shop." He explained. "There's a shaft here. Jamie's on the top. The ladder's right there." He indicated it in the corner. I went over and climbed up.
