~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter Eleven: Bellatrix's Powers~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"POTTER CATCHES THE SNITCH AND GRYFFINDOR WIN THE MATCH!" Lestrange boomed over the loudspeaker.

There was a mixed reaction, some people weren't sure whether they should cheer or not but there was definite feeling of foreboding creeping over the stands as Lestrange called out the very next comment.

"Gryffindor win the match - but SLYTHERIN WIN THE CUP!" he yelled, stamping his feet and waving his arms in excitement. He even began doing a little jig with this hippy Slytherin called Laurel Playstowe.

The Slytherin team were engulfed with an enormous wave of green, as they were hoisted into the air and carried over to Dumbledore and the Quidditch Cup.

_____________________________________________________________________

"I'm a failure, an utter failure," James said gloomily, "I suck at Quidditch, I should just quit now while I'm ahead."

The Gryffindor Common Room was looking quite dull in light of the current events. A hush had descended over the Tower and no one seemed to be able to smile.

"It wasn't your fault, mate," Sirius said soothingly, "You played brilliantly, tell him Lily."

"Yeah, Jay," she said, looking slightly disgruntled that she was having to comfort James against her will, "You were superb."

James perked up slightly at this, "You serious?" he asked, sitting up in his chair.

"I think I'll go get some Butterbeer," Sirius said, and with a slight snigger, made his way over to Remus and Peter.

He left the two talking - surely they couldn't keep talking about the match forever.

"Hey, I'm watching you!" Remus called to a group of Second Year boys who were concealing suspicious looking lumps under their robes.

"I'm so bloomin' bored!" Peter said, yawning and rubbing his eyes, "Think I'll go to bed."

"Yeah think I will too," Sirius said, stretching widely and walking after Peter.

In the dormitory, it seemed even more still and silent compared to the Common Room - as if it was somewhere sombre, such as a funeral home.

"G'night then," Peter said, jumping straight into bed without changing.

"Night," Sirius replied, making his way over to his bed.

Sirius sighed, as he opened his trunk to get his pyjamas. He pulled them out from under a tangle of spare school robes, and a piece of parchment fell to the floor.

Sirius picked it up and noticed that it was the Marauder's Map, he glanced over it quickly, but something caught his eye - there was a large black dot standing outside where the Black Room was, and it was clearly labelled BELLATRIX BLACK.

Sirius hastily stuffed the parchment into his pockets and ran out of the dormitory into the Common Room, where he failed to notice the Second Years chasing after a small ferret, and being yelled at by Remus. He also missed the fact that Lily and James were talking animatedly.

He walked quickly through the corridors, keeping the Map in front of him in the wand light. Running swiftly, he saw that Pringle was in his office, and Peeves was in the Black Room's corridor.

As the last corner came of the Black Room, Sirius flattened himself against the wall nearby and shuffled slowly sideways. A small figure of a pearly white man floated by.

"Bad Bad Bellatrix Black, Woke up once in a haystack," Peeves sang, floating away down the stairs.

"What a creep," Sirius breathed, shuffling slowly towards the Black Room - but there was no one there.

Sirius jumped forwards, taking away his disguise, and began looking around, and back at the Map for Bellatrix - but she was on neither.

"Looking for me cousin Sirius?" a soft, silky voice came from behind, making Sirius jump.

"Bellatrix!" Sirius breathed, clutching his chest, "W-What are you doing here?"

Bellatrix smiled widely and walked over slowly to Sirius.

"I could ask you the same, Si," she crooned, "Walking around at night, someone could get suspicious."

She walked right up to Sirius and ran a slender, claw-like finger down his chest.

"Well built, I see," she breathed, "There's none quite like the Pure Bloods eh?"

"Whatever," Sirius said, leaning against the wall, "Just tell me what you're doing."

Bellatrix smiled once again and pulled out her wand, pointing it at Sirius.

Sirius walked into the middle of the corridor and pulled out his own wand - he was sure the inevitable was coming.

"Tripudeo!" she cried, causing a purple light to shoot out of her wand and hit Sirius on his chest. He staggered, and all of a sudden he began to tap dance, Bellatrix began laughing horribly.

"Fultura Maximus!" Sirius cried, trying to keep his wand straight while doing a quick step, the yellow sparks hit Bellatrix's legs, and she found that she could not move from the spot.

"Alitum Helops!" Bellatrix yelled, causing Sirius to become covered in pale silvery scales.

"ACCIPIO DOLOR!" Sirius shouted, and an orange spell hit Bellatrix. She screamed loudly and fell to the ground.

Sirius pointed his wand at himself and muttered, "Finite Incantatem!" and he stopped dancing and his scales disappeared.

He ran over to Bellatrix and stood over her - it would be more than likely for her to pull as fast one so he had to be cautious.

"You okay?" Sirius asked down at her.

There was no answer as Bellatrix lay crumpled in a heap.

From behind came scratching sound, like someone with blunt nails trying to scratch a black board, and the sound intensified. Sirius whipped round and yelled loudly as he caught sight of hundreds of tarantulas the size of dinner plates scurrying hastily towards him.

Sirius turned round, and Bellatrix was standing straight, with tinier spiders all pouring of her mouth like some sort of sickly fountain. He didn't need telling twice, and ran quickly away, stepping over tarantulas.

He sprinted all the way to the tapestry before Gryffindor Tower, but the spiders seemed to be everywhere he went.

"Thank God I'm not arachnophobic!" he muttered, pulling back the tapestry, "AAAAAAARGH!"

From behind the tapestry, a grinning Bellatrix stepped out. Sirius fell over onto his back and howled in pain, squashing one of the spiders.

"Easily scared aren't you?" she said tauntingly, she clicked her fingers, and all of a sudden there were no spiders.

She offered a hand to Sirius, and she hoisted him up off the floor.

"What the..." Sirius began.

"Looks like Lord Azazel favours me too, Sirius," she said softly.

Sirius sighed, standing rooted on the spot.

"That bit of chameleon-like concealment was pretty impressive cous," she whispered, "but I personally think MY power is much better."

Sirius wondered how she could have done such a thing as bring forth Azazel, and get given powers, but before he could ponder this any longer Bellatrix whispered a short, "Sweet dreams," and made her way back her dorm.
