This could be regarded as a sequel to "Sadistic Stars and Fluffy Bunnies" but you can read this story without having read the other one first. Also, while in Sadistic Stars I've been following the 5th book's story line (mostly), now I will have to write this period of the Second War from my head... Something not very good.
WARNING: As in Sadistic Stars, Bellatrix, Rodolphus and the other characters are, as you probably have noticed, out of character but that's done in order to make the story funnier (something in which I fail miserably)
Disclaimer: (sighs) I've got bored of writing these things. Really
And the horror continues!
THE CURSE OF THE FLUFFY BUNNIES
Chapter 1
Back in Action
It was a silent June night but not for everyone. Somewhere under the streets of London in a building called the Ministry of Magic, and to be more specific, in the Department of Mysteries, a wild battle was going on between the notorious Death Eaters and the members of the Order of the Phoenix along with...a bunch of children?
"Why do I have to duel with all the stupid beginners?" asked Bellatrix Lestrange in frustration as she knocked Nymphadora Tonks out with a stunning spell.
"Don't worry cousin, I'm here!" screamed Sirius Black, her cousin and sworn enemy. He was running towards her with his wand out. He cast a disarming spell, which she easily dodged.
"Oh, how nice to see you again Sirius! I've really missed you! Stupefy!" said Bellatrix sarcastically and sent a spell in his direction right after.
"I'm moved by this unusual family reunion, Bellatrix. Expelliarmus!
"Really? I personally am delighted because this is your last duel! AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Sirius dodged the curse and decided to draw her attention from the duel by talking about irrelevant things.
"So, happy to see your Master again, Bellatrix? I guess you have been spending a lot time together now," he said teasingly.
"Why do you care, cousin? Besides, in comparison to us you spend a lot more time with that guy-what's his name? Wait a minute!" she pretended to be thinking while she cast an unforgivable curse towards him . "Oh, yes! The wolf-boy! How is he? He still walking freely around scaring people?"
Sirius seemed to be fuming with rage and started chasing her around a stone arch with a veil.
"I'll kill you, bitch! Petrificus Totalus!"
"You have to catch me first! Are you mad that your lover is a freak? Crucio!"
"At least my lover is not a sixty year old wannabe-ruler!" he answered, smirking.
Bellatrix was now out of her mind and started throwing every spell she knew at Sirius' direction. She even tried the levitation charm. But they were both unaware of Dumbledore's presence.
"Come on, you can do better than that!" Sirius yelled, dodging the curse.
"STUPEFY!" she screamed with rage.
However, Sirius hadn't even finished his sentence when the curse hit him. For some seconds he was balancing in front of the entrance of the archway when he suddenly, with a look of utter surprise, fell behind the veil.
"NOOOOO!!!!" screamed Harry Potter.
"YEEEESSSSSS!" Bellatrix yelled in excitement but then she saw Dumbledore turning her direction. "Shit, "he muttered and started running towards the exit dodging the spell the Headmaster of Hogwarts sent her direction.
She turned around to see if anyone was following her and she saw Potter chasing her furiously. It reminded her of one incident in Hogwarts when she was a student and had performed a spell on Lily Evans that made another head pop out. James Potter had been chasing Bellatrix around Hogwarts for three hours until he got tired.
She had reached the main entrance now and she was heading for the telephone booth when she decided to turn around and finish with the boy.
"Come out, come out, little Harry!" she called mockingly. "What did you come after me for, then? I thought you were here to avenge my dear cousin!"
"I am!" Harry shouted. Bellatrix rolled her eyes.
"Ah, did you love him, little baby Potter?"
To her surprise, Potter cast an unforgivable curse. "CRUCIO!"
The curse hit Bellatrix making her fall back but she immediately stood up, as the curse wasn't quite successful.
"Never used an Unforgivable Curse before, have you boy?" she yelled. "You need to mean them, Potter! You need to really want to cause pain-and to enjoy it-righteous anger won't hurt me for long-I'll show you how it is done, shall I? I'll give you a lesson--"
Bellatrix smirked, and screamed, "Crucio!"
Harry hit the floor, and the curse went over him.
"Potter, you cannot win against me!" Bellatrix was getting tired of this hide and seek game. Boasting to him, as well, she finally yelled after a few spells, "Potter, I am going to give you one chance! Give me the prophecy-roll it out toward me now-and I may spare you life!"
"Well, you're going to have to kill me, because it's gone!" Harry shrieked at her. "And he knows!" he laughed, which scared Bellatrix slightly. "Your dear old mate Voldemort knows it's gone! He's not going to be happy with you, is he?"
Bellatrix stared at him. "What? What do you mean?"
"The prophecy smashed when I was trying to get Neville up the steps? What do you think Voldemort'll say about that, then?"
He was bluffing, he had to be. "LIAR! YOU'VE GOT IT, POTTER, AND YOU WILL GIVE IT TO ME-Accio Prophecy! Accio Prophecy!"
Nothing came to her, and she sent another jet of green light at him.
"Nothing there! Nothing to summon! It smashed and nobody heard what it said, tell your boss that--"
To Bellatrix's surprise, she saw Lord Voldemort appear in the middle of the hall. She fell to her knees before him.
"No! It isn't true, you're lying-Master, I tried, I tried, do not punish me!"
"Leave that to me Bella, you have failed pathetically," Voldemort snapped at her.
Great, she thought miserably and sighed. Then she noticed a large witch that last time she had checked was a golden statue coming towards her looking quite menacing.
"What the hell?" she muttered. She looked back to Voldemort as he paced nearer. "Master, I am sorry, I knew not, I was fighting the Animagus Black!"
"Be quiet, Bella!"
Bellatrix looked back at the witch, as well as pleading to her master. He didn't pay any attention and went back to Harry.
She groaned struggling to breathe as the weight of the statue was keeping her still to the ground. She looked up and saw that Dumbledore had already arrived and that Voldemort had turned into a snake. Show off.
Finally after nearly falling asleep by boredom she felt the witch getting off her and Voldemort grabbing her by the arm.
"Hey! What happened? Killed Potter? Probably not," she said glancing at the unconscious body of Potter who Dumbledore was trying to wake up.
"Shut up. You're in big trouble. Everything you say will be used against you," Voldemort said strictly and they Disapparated.
They Apparated into the large room that was used for meetings.
"I assigned you one mission! To find that prophecy and get it from Potter!" he said angrily walking around the room.
"Hey! It's not my fault that kid broke it! And after all you were there, you could have killed him!" she exclaimed in order to defend herself.
"My lord," he corrected gloomily.
"My lord," she said tiredly.
"Now as you know Bellatrix you'll have to suffer the consequences," he said smirking.
"What consequences?" Bellatrix asked confused but as soon as she asked she understood. "No, not that! Please!"
"You should have thought that before Bellatrix," Voldemort replied as if it wasn't his fault.
"You weren't there all the time! You didn't hear me!" she screamed. "It's unfair!"
"I'm afraid I have to do it," he said smirking.
Bellatrix ran out of the room, fuming with rage, and suddenly rammed into somebody.
"Watch your step, dude!" she snapped.
"What happened Bellatrix? You just had your first row after years? I heard your mission failed," Rodolphus Lestrange with a smirk on his face.
Bellatrix turned around to her husband smiling sarcastically.
"It was your mission too, Rodolphus. Until you got lost in those rooms and ended in that greenhouse congested with sheep and finally Apparated here, a failure. Oh, you thought I didn't know? I saw you going into that room while we were searching for those kids," Bellatrix said with a sardonic smile.
"At least I didn't lose to a fifteen year old."
"Hey! Dumbledore was with him! That crackpot seems to be everywhere! I once gone to watch a beauty competition where my sister participated and he was there!"
she exclaimed in exasperation.
"He was taking part in the competition?" Rodolphus asked with his eyes wide open in wonder.
"Of course! In fact, he nearly won," she said sarcastically.
"Really? It's hard to imagine how the other competitors look if Dumbledore beat them," he said thoughtfully.
Bellatrix was astonished by Rodolphus' foolishness.
"Err, Rodolphus, did you sense my sarcastic tone? Dumbledore in the audience," she said slowly as if trying to explain to a child that 1 plus 1 equals 2.
"Oh, yes. Of course you were sarcastic," he said but looked thoughtful.
That of course couldn't escape Bellatrix's notice.
"What has happened, Rodolphus?" she asked amused and continued trying to stifle her laughter. "Is it that time of the month?"
Rodolphus shot a death glare at her.
"Hoho. Oh, you're so funny Bellatrix!" he responded sarcastically.
She waited some seconds (that was an awful long time for Bellatrix to remain silent) for Rodolphus to speak before she spoke:
"So, what?"
For a moment Rodolphus looked around silent as if expecting to see someone. Then he turned to Bellatrix's direction.
"Where are the other Death Eaters? Weren't they supposed to return here?"
"Well, yes. But you see a group of guys called the Order of the-wait... not the owl...not the eagle," Bellatrix said, trying to remember the damned name.
"You mean the Order of the Phoenix," Rodolphus helped, thinking she may have started having the first symptoms of Alzheimer.
"Yes, that! Anyway, all that guys rushed in to save the kids, and now I said kids-which reminds me, do you know who I met?"she asked gleefully. She didn't know exactly why she was still talking to him, except for the fact she felt like boasting to somebody.
"Who?"
"Longbottom!" she shrieked in happiness.
"Longbottom? I thought he had gone of the rocker! Bellatrix, seriously you can't do anything right!" he said with a look of surprise.
"No, not that Longbottom, idiot! His son! He's a friend of Potter!" Bellatrix explained exasperated, rolling her eyes.
"And?"
"And I taught him a good lesson," she said proudly.
"Oh, very good Bellatrix. You have just defeated a teenager wizard. What a great achievement for one of the best Death Eaters of the Dark Lord," he said sarcastically.
"You should have seen that kid! He was like-he had a vicious look on his face! And he was huge! Twice big as me!" Bellatrix claimed waving her arms around to represent the size of a "dangerous" Neville.
"Yeah, right," said Rodolphus although he sounded quite far from persuaded. "I suppose the others are in Azkaban now?"
"Yes," Bellatrix said with a tone of pleasure in her voice "Let that git Lucius Malfoy know what we have passed through. And he didn't have time to take his shampoo or conditioner with him! Mwahahahaha!" she broke into an insane laughter.
Rodolphus shook his head hopelessly. "Bellatrix, what a good person you are," he said with a fake sweet smile.
"He was teasing me about my face and hair! I can't wait to see how he'll look like when he gets out of there, or if he ever does!" she said smiling at this thought.
"He can't look worse than he does now. His head is like a plate of spaghetti with hair gel for sauce."
"Yes, good one Rodolphus. I'll remember it so as to say that to him when they get out."
"Are Rookwood and Dolohov with him too?"
"As are as most of the Death Eaters are. Dolohov was too busy chasing Rookwood around who was looking for candies in the rooms when the Aurors came."
Then Rodolphus remembered the first question he wanted to ask Bellatrix:
"So, what happened in there? With Voldemort I mean. Did he punish you?" He had an evil smile on his face.
"Not exactly. But that's not your business," Bellatrix said mysteriously.
Bellatrix stopped talking and then remembered how hungry she was.
"I'm starving! Is there anything to eat here?" she asked looking around as if expecting a table with food to pop out.
"Yes, downstairs there is some stuff you can eat although no one dares to touch them. Rookwood made them before we left. Something called 'mashed potatoes and banana pie.' Do you know it?"
Bellatrix looked at him with fear in her eyes as she remembered that horrible creation of Rookwood that he had made along with Rodolphus when he thought himself as a fluffy bunny. However, she didn't have time to say anything as Voldemort appeared from the corner nearly scaring the shit out of them.
They both jumped a few feet in the air as the Dark Lord seemed to glide towards them.
"I have a mission for you two so you'd better stop fighting. Follow me," he commanded.
Rodolphus and Bellatrix sighed as they followed Lord Voldemort to hear what that so-called mission was.
[I know this first chapter was boring but I had to write it so that you know when this takes place-something like a prologue. I know Harry and Voldemort are a bit out of character but I don't like Harry and Voldemort is funnier out of character.]
Next Chapter: Azkaban and female Dementors?
