A/N: Yah, yah, yah! Me again! Heehee! I know what's gonna happen this chapter!
Disclaimer: Must I go through this every time? I do not own Harry Potter, or any of the characters or locations relating to Harry Potter. Happy now?
Chapter 8
"Ron!" said Hermione sharply. "I can't believe you!"
"But Hermione!"
"How can you be more concerned about your own stomach when anything could be happening to Harry!"
"Hermione!"
"Don't Hermione me Ron! I can't believe you doubt his innocence! You're supposed to be his best friend!"
"Will you look at the facts Hermione!"
"I am Ron! And I can see there was no evidence to convict him!"
Ron was silent for a moment. The two of them had had the same argument many times over the last weeks or so. Before they had both been on the same side, when Harry had been first convicted, but after his escape he hadn't been so sure, whilst Hermione still firmly believed in his innocence.
"If he was innocent, and I'm not saying he was, then why did he leave Azkaban with You-Know-Who during that attack? Why couldn't the ministry find his wand afterwards?"
Hermione chewed her lip. She could see she wasn't going to get through to him, no matter what she said. Sure all, all of the evidence pointed to the fact that Harry was guilty, but it had been the same with Sirius... Sirius... In her mind that meant that Harry would never switch over, never. Especially with everything else that Voldemort had done to make his life hell.
It had been a shock to them all when Harry had been sent to Azkaban, but none of them had believe that he was truly. Most just believed it was a mistake, a miscarriage of justice. After all, it had happened plenty of times in the past.
But after his had gotten out of Azkaban, whether he had been abducted or had gone willingly, a lot of people had reconsidered, and ended up thinking that he was guilty. She was one of the few that didn't.
"Ron, did it ever occur to you that he might have been kidnapped from Azkaban?"
That shut Ron up. For about ten seconds.
"What about his wand then? No one could find it afterwards."
"I don't know Ron, okay? I just don't know! But I refuse to stop believing in him!"
"But-"
"Ron!" she said. This conversation always got her mad. "I can't believe - I won't believe Harry would go dark!"
"But-"
"Shut up Ron!" she yelled at him, before storming off. Why couldn't he see that Harry would never do such a thing? Why? It wasn't theasible.
In Voldemort's fortress a certain Dark Lord was mad. No, actually, mad would be an understatement. As would furious, fuming and just about any other words of a similar meaning. In truth, our favourite Dark lord was very, very pissed off.
The reason why he was pissed of was, as usual, because of Potter. Or maybe it was the fact that he had escaped without any struggle at all, with the possible exception of Bellatrix, though he wasn't even sure if she had tried to stop him.
"Delacero!" he hissed, pointing his wand at her, causing her skin to tear.
"Now tell me, Bella," he said once her screaming had subsided. "How did Potter manage to stun you without a wand?"
"M-My Lord!" she gasped out. "Please! I beg of you!"
"How did he do it Bella?"
Bella remained silent.
"Bella," he hissed again, dangerously. "How did he do it?"
Again, she didn't answer.
'Stupid bitch,' he thought angrily. Why did she have to force him to do this?
"Legillimens," he said, invading her memories.
'Bella walked down one of the passages in the dungeons of the Dark Lord's fortress nervously. She couldn't believe what she was about to do, and if she got caught she would probably be tortured and then killed for her treachery.'
"So you betray me Bella..."
"M-My Lord-" she started to explain, but was cut off by her own screams as the cruciatus was cast upon her.
"You betrayed me Bella," the dark Lord said over her screams. "I really expected better from you, as one of my most loyal."
"My Lord! Please!"
"You really should have known better - once you join me there is no going back!"
"But My Lord, I-"
"Cruccio!"
Bella screamed again.
"You should have known I except no excuses Bellatrix. You shouldn't have betrayed me. This is only the beginning of the pain I will put you through. You should never have betrayed me!"
Lifting the latest spell, he left her on the ground sobbing. It served her right for her betrayal.
A/N: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This chapter is sooo short! AHHHHHHHHHH! It evil chapter! Short and torturous! Evil!
Launigsiae: Yah, I'll do that AU! It will be fun once I write it!
Gaul1: Um... chase...? It's not there yet. Just punishments. Heehee!
Taz: Okay!
Nemati: This is what happens next! And the AU won't be up for a while. I've got to write it first.
Nightwish_sama: I only think they're rubbish if they are! Besides, I don't think this one is rubbish! Just short! So nyeah nyeah!
Dracosgirlie: Awww! Glad I could be of service! Weirdness is my speciality!
Barymic: That is one long review. I think there's only about one other Harry/Bella out there though. Or at least one that I can find. Mind you, I am only checking in English. The guilt trip was perfect for Voldemort though. After all, he uses he connection he has with Harry to his advantage, to know what his weaknesses are, so it stands to reason that he should use it to din out what Harry feels guilty about. I will be putting the prophecy in this. I'm just not sure how it will fit when I do the AU. I'll figure that out when I write it. And Fudge will be dead. I never liked him either.
jeangab057: I'll write that AU in a while, okay?
