disclaimer- all characters except Mary and Mrs. Bates belong to J.K. Rowling. (A/N- hiya! hope you like it so far. don't worry, it gets a lot more exciting....)
Mary looked at her guardian for the last time, called an ambulance so it could come pick Mrs. Bates up, and ran into the woods by the house. She lived on the streets of London in a cardboard box in an alleyway for the next three years.
She was pretty much okay on the streets, except for a few fistfights. She managed to come up with enough food to keep her alive by digging in the trash bins. She was safe.
But not for long...
8-year-old Mary had been finishing her dinner that consisted of a roll that someone had thrown out for the birds. She went to sleep that night in her cozy box, not expecting anything. However, she woke up in the middle of the night to find 3 figures in black cloaks standing over her.
"Stupefy," one of them muttered, and Mary suddenly blacked out.
She was kicked back into consciousness by the same 3 figures in black cloaks. She knew who they were immediately. Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, and Augustus Rookwood. All three of them were part of the band of witches and wizards who supported Lord Voldemort. All three of them-were Death Eaters. She also realized that she was in a cave right near Hogsmeade.
"What do you want?" Mary said coldly, trying not to show that she was very frightened.
"Oh, we just wanted a small favor from you, Potter," said Malfoy, with a malicious grin on his face.
She understood why they knew her name. No one was supposed to know that she existed, but she knew that Voldemort has his ways of finding things out.
"Whatever it is, I'm not doing it," she said defiantly. She knew this was stupid and definitely the wrong thing to say.
"Foolish girl!" said Lestrange, "Crucio!"
Mary writhed and shrieked on the ground in pain. When she couldn't take it anymore, the curse was lifted, and she lay on the ground, panting and twitching.
"What-is-it?" Mary said, gasping for breath. "Never felt that before, have you, Potter?" said Rookwood. All three of them had been laughing the whole time. "But if you must know, what you are going to do is drink Polyjuice Potion that will turn you into Bellatrix, so you will go to Azkaban instead. It's meant to last a few hours after you're put in the cell."
At that moment, Malfoy yelled, "Imperio!" and ran over to Mary. "Open your mouth!" he barked, and poured a glass of the potion down her throat. She was immediately transformed into Bellatrix.
Since it was morning, and the streets of Hogsmeade were filled with people, the Death Eaters pushed Mary out into the street, and, almost instantly, Ministry officials Apparated all around her and whisked yet another innocent soul away to Azkaban for life.
