Bellatrix Black/Lestrange's Downfall
Severus heard screaming he recognised the voice as Lucias Malfoy's he was never very good at hiding his pain as he was, though he had been wondering now how much longer were they going to keep him alive; Voldermot seemed to have gotten what he wanted did he really need him anymore alive.
Severus heard someone coming towards his cell, he didn't move back if it was his time he wasn't going t hide away or going to show fear. The door opened and Electra was thrown in, he jumped up as quickly as he could and caught her; the masked Deatheater laughed at him as he slammed the door behind him and locked it.
"Electra..." Severus said as he helped her back down to the ground, but she didn't answer him. He lifted up her head to look at her, she was unconscious and there was even more blood. "Damn it, wake up you've got to stay awake."
But she still didn't wake up, he let go of her and her head flopped onto his shoulder. Under normal situations he wouldn't have minded, but he knew that she was going to die soon if she didn't get treatment and soon.
They sat there for a while, with Severus trying to wake her every so often. He was trying again when the door opened and this time Bellatrix walked in. She didn't bother to hide who she was as she walked in and over to them, she grabbed hold of Electra and pulled her to her feet and thrown her up against the wall. She slapped her hard in the face.
"Wake up!" Bellatrix demanded, slowly Electra opened her eyes. "How dare you, its bad enough that he betrayed our family; but to have a bastard child with scrum like you." Bellatrix punched her this time, making her fall and grab hold of her robes to keep her on her feet. "Get you filthy half-breed hands of me!"
She threw her back to the ground and spat at her, Severus was about to get up; but she kicked him in the face.
"Snape this good side of you really doesn't suit you, but don't worry you'll be dead soon." Bellatrix told him pleasantly. "And you'll burn in hell just like the rest of us, because it doesn't matter how much good you might have done; it will never make up for everything you did when you were one of us."
She spat down at Electra again and then walked back out, but she turned back round before she closed the door. "Well, there's one good thing; it won't survive."
She slammed the door shut and locked it. Severus crawled over to Electra, she sat up as he wiped his hand on his robes and touched his lip softly.
"Let me guess, you're still with Sirius." Severus said, she nodded. "And pregnant?"
"Yeap." Electra answered.
"Well I'm sorry to say, that she's right." Severus told her.
"Well, I haven't given up just yet." Electra told him, she looked up at him. "How are you up for an escape?"
"What?" Severus asked thinking she had really lost her mind.
Electra smiled at him and held up a wand. "Bellatrix is a little to like Sirius, they get distracted easily when their anger."
"I could kiss you..." Severus started but Electra interrupted him.
"Don't." Electra told him.
Severus looked at her. "I was going to say, but I won't because I'm bleeding."
"Right, anyway...about getting out of here." Electra said changing the subject. "Do you think you can, I can't on my own I'm to weak I'll need your help."
"Well I guess I can, but can you stand for me to touch you?" Severus asked her. "You didn't mind while you were asleep, though you wouldn't have minded anything; but you can't stand to be in here with me."
"It isn't really you...it's..." Electra said but couldn't.
Severus didn't need her to tell him, he stood up and held out his hand for her to take it. She looked at it and then took it finally, he pulled her to her feet and almost fell back down again but he wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm sorry..." Severus said, she didn't look at him only handed over the wand. He nodded and they walked to the door, he had no trouble unlocking the door but was surprised to see well no one. "I don't that they think that we would be stupid enough to try something like this."
"Or maybe they did, and didn't think that we wouldn't get far." Electra said.
"Try to think positive will you, at least one of us should; and I'm not really the kind of person." Severus told her.
"Fine, but promise that if we do get out of here; don't tell Sirius that I was pregnant." Electra told him. "I know just like you..."
"I promise, but when we get out; you'll get another chance at a family." Severus told her quietly as they rounded the corner, pointing the wand ahead of him.
"Are you sure that Severus Snape, you sound too nice to be him." Electra teased.
"Make the most of it then." Severus told her.
They walked a little farer before they heard someone coming, he pulled her back into the shadow's but they both knew that if they past that they would see them. As they lead against the wall, it opened and they both fell through and down some sort of slide. They went down and down, until finally they came out at the bottom; Electra rolled off and into a hard wall groaning loudly.
Severus quickly got to his feet and looked round for the wand because it had flew out of his hand went he hit the bottom.
"Damn it." Severus said.
"Lumos!" Electra said weakly.
The wand tip lit up a couple of feet away from Severus, he looked at the wand and then at her; he picked up the wand and then quickly went over to her and helped her to her feet. They started down the tunnel to their left, not really knowing where they were going.
"Severus, I can't keep walking forever." Electra told him. "Do you know where you're going?"
"...yeah...course..." Severus answered not looking at her.
"How encouraging." Electra said, and then she thought of something. "Can you make a Portkey?"
"What you're trying to catch me out on something illegal." Severus said pulling her up and closer to him.
"You know...oh it doesn't matter...we need to get out of here...or at least somewhere different from hre before I pass out again." Electra told him.
"Don't, I don't think I could carry you." Severus admitted.
"That's not nice...well leave me then..." Electra said.
"I wouldn't do that...that brother...and even Black...I guess I wouldn't even leave them here with that lot up there." Severus admitted.
Electra smiled at him. "Have they given you some of this potion as well?"
"At the start yeah, but...they got what they could from me...so they haven't for a while..." Severus told her. "Right Portkey, how do I go about something like that?"
Electra filled him in on how to do it, but considering where they were, they had to do it the illegal way; which was a lot easier then the other of course. And they weren't bothered if the Ministry picked up on them, which would be even better because if Voldermot figured out what they have done then they were going to need some help.
"Right so, the destinations?" Severus asked.
Electra just about heard what he had asked, but everything was starting to go fogging again; she could feel that he was tapping her face and see that he was saying something. But she could hear anything now, and fell forward unconscious again on his lap.
Severus carefully lifted her head off of his lap and rested her against the wall. "You could have waited a little longer...right then...this can't be hard to put the destination in..."
Severus just looked at the torn bottle; he said a few spells hoping that they were right. He grabbed Electra's hand and then with his other hand touched the bottle with the wand still in his hand, they stayed where they were; Severus almost threw the bottle across the tunnel trying to let go as it shocked him.
He ripped some of the fabric off of his robes and wrapped his hand as he walked across for the bottle, he kicked it with his foot to test it; it didn't do anything so he picked it back up and went back over and started again.
After about an hour of shocking a burning his hands, Severus was getting very annoyed that Electra still hadn't woke up to help him; even though he knew that he shouldn't be. He finally thought that he had it worked out.
"This is it...I hope." Severus said, he took hold of her hand again and the bottle.
He felt himself being suddenly jerked forward rather roughly compared to normal, but of course he wasn't complaining; well not really. He kept a firm grip on Electra's hand as they hit the ground with a thud, he was sure that heard people screaming and shouting but his mind was a complete blur; the only thing he knew was that he still had hold of Electra and they had made it out somehow.
The next thing Severus realised was someone shouting, the voice sounded familiar but he didn't know who it belonged too; he just wished that who ever it was would shut up because his head was banging.
"Let me pass...that bastard...I can't believe...!"
He heard someone fall over and then someone almost running over to him, and then being pulled up out of bed and being punched in the face.
"How dare you...you bastard..." Sirius shouted and then punched him again before he was pulled back by two Auror's. "If she die's I swear you'll pay!"
Severus carefully sat up holding his face looking around she wasn't there, he looked back at Sirius who was struggling against the Auror's to let him.
"Is she alright...it was Lucias Mal..." Severus said, but Sirius had gotten free and was on him again punching every inch he could reach. "Get off of me Black..." But then he just stopping against Sirius but he was still hitting him, but not for long because Remus had pulled him and almost threw him at the Auror's who was getting back up.
Severus looked up at Remus, he wasn't going to say thank you because he felt as though he desired everything that they gave him; Remus felt the same and punched him in the face himself.
"Remus Sirius calm your selves!" Dumbledore said as he entered with Harry at his side.
"But..." Sirius shouted.
"We will hear what he has to say, as we heard from you...he desires no more or no least until we find out the truth." Dumbledore told him calmly.
"But...she might die because of him...and...I've already lost..." Sirius said.
"I know, but I cannot offer this option to one and not to another." Dumbledore said calmly as he walked over to Severus' bed and Harry went over to Sirius who sat on the bed next to him.
Remus stood over him the whole time as Severus told his story, he looked as though he was ready to change into a werewolf right then and there and tear him to pieces.
"Why the hell should we believe him?" Sirius asked once he was finished.
"I trust Severus, and it seemed that Electra trusted him as well to get her out of there." Dumbledore answered.
"She was pregnant, did you know that? She's lost it because of them...because of you." Sirius shot at him.
"I knew, and so did they." Severus said quietly. "Bellatrix wasn't at all happy...it...was her wand we used."
"If you knew then why didn't you help her sooner...was it to get back at me?" Sirius demanded.
Severus looked at him he could see how anger and upset he was. "I wouldn't hurt her to get back at you, and you know it...but if want someone to balm then fine...go ahead."
Sirius jumped to his feet again, he wanted to hit him until no more but it wasn't going to help so instead he just kicked the end of the bed and walked down towards the doors. Harry got up but Dumbledore shock his head at him and Harry reluctantly sat back down, while Remus carried on staring at Severus; which was making him uncomfortable. Severus would have preferred him to do something even if it was hit him like Sirius had done, but the staring and not saying anything at all seemed a hundred times worst somehow.
Sirius pushed the door open making it hit the wall, he looked up just in time to duck and roll out of the way as a ball of fire was shot at him. He came back up stumbling to his feet as he turned round to face his cousin.
"And I thought that you couldn't disgrace our family anymore." Bellatrix spat at him.
Sirius pulled out his wand and dodged another blast from her, he didn't have a clue what she was using but knew that she wasn't using her wand because the Auror's still hadn't it back in the ward; and then he wonder why the hell aren't they out here now?
"A half-breed who's not even wroth to be called a witch." Bellatrix went out.
"You can't really talk can you, look at you...you were once a good person...and now your nothing." Sirius shot at her. "She's wroth a hundred of you."
"Really I'm not the one who's dieing right now am I? Oh did you know she was carrying your bastard child as well?" Bellatrix said as she shot another potion at him, blasting another hole in the wall behind him.
Sirius was too anger to even speak to her as he shot curses at her at random trying to hit her with something, but she quit moving out of the way and throwing those potion's at him. Sirius heard something or someone behind him, but nothing else he fell to ground; with Bellatrix clutching to his robes.
"I can't believe that I ever called you cousin." Bellatrix said as her eyes glazed over and she fell into his arms, he being the last thing she ever saw.
Sirius closed her eyes, and then laid her on the ground and stood up looking down at her as nurses ran out to them.
"She's already dead." Sirius told them.
(A/N:- well here's the other chapter I promised, you'll all have two chapters to read today from me now. I don't think I can do a third, well only if I sit here all night and just type; which I'm not going to do sorry but I might start the next chapter.)
Severus heard screaming he recognised the voice as Lucias Malfoy's he was never very good at hiding his pain as he was, though he had been wondering now how much longer were they going to keep him alive; Voldermot seemed to have gotten what he wanted did he really need him anymore alive.
